I got sick and binged watched this show Saturday. What a fun show. I love ensemble shows where the cast has great chemistry. This is definitely one of them.

And i get the gripes people have with "If this were real life..." I dont think thats the point, though. This isn't Mark Cuban selling a sports score tracker. This algorithm is Facebook big. Think about that, a 128gb movie compressed to 25gb? Thats insane.

IRL, if these guys could develop it and hit the market with it, every digital media company in the world would want access to this tech. That 20gb iPod that holds 10,000 songs can now hold 100,000. He would be stupid to sell to Hooli, because he can establish his company and license to others after for 10x what he'd get upfront. And every company from Google to server farms would pay it.

Teaming up with this Dan Bilzerian-esque dude was a massive, massive mistake.

I know we are going to have a season of total strife and frickups before they get to win in the very end, but honestly I would prefer to see the guys win a little bit.
