The Jian Yang material usually makes me laugh and then I wonder if I'm a little bit racist afterwards.

Re: HBO: Silicon Valley
I had to quit watching this show after the first season bc it was way too realistic and close to home. I found it hilarious, but it just made me think of work. I've put it in the bucket of "shows to catch up on a few years down the road"

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I dont know man, I think the manic Jared stuff from that episode, and the Russ Hanneman stuff might be better.

One thing I do like quite a bit is how they're utilizing Big Head. It almost makes me wish he played a bigger role in the 2nd half of season one and in season 2.

Re: HBO: Silicon Valley
I've been slacking on this, and I'm just catching up today. This season is going okay, but I do think Gavin and Jack disappearing has been disappointing, so is making Monica a background character. Besides how awesome Jared is (and even though I feel like they've amped that up due to his Twitter following), there's not much bringing me back week-to-week.

Re: HBO: Silicon Valley
While I have always enjoyed this show I've never thought of it as one of my favorites. Maybe if I worked in the tech field.
I am going to miss TJ Miller though, Ehrlich is one of the stronger comic characters on the show. I think the Richard character is supposed to play the straight man a lot times but he's also one of the more lackluster, undynamic parts of the cast.
I know a guy who recently moved to DC that reminds me somewhat Jared, both physically and personality wise.
