I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. What an episode.
Trag, how can you not like Middlemarch? He plays that character as a loveable, paranoid nerd. Like Argo, actually.

I really enjoyed the finale, it flew by and was surprisingly tense.
And yes, as usual Zach Woods' line delivery was spot on, particularly that one at the camp site.

The ending of last season would've really been a good ending to the show. They only have back down to go now. And I don't really know how enjoyable that would be.

They were finally successful. They had everything they set out to achieve.

I think we’ll just accept the end of last season as the series end.

I've found this season to be mostly enjoyable with a few good jokes/lines but also quickly forgotten about. Like the series has been to me during its run.

"Over the last five years, you have been horrible. You never smile. You never kiss me. I hate you."
This scene had me rolling. Why is Jian-Yang so funny?

I feel the need to stick up for Thomas Middleditch in this show (nowhere else, though), this finale, and Silicon Valley in general. This was a solid finale, Middleditch was perfect for this and the show could not have functioned without him exactly as he was, and this show ranks above Idiocracy as the greatest thing Mike Judge has ever created.
