The Bighead stuff was awesome the rest was kind of meh.


My shite got cracked up when his mind was blown because the documentary guy explained why they called him Bighead.

Overall, it wasn't a satisfying ending, but I don't think the show works with them actually succeeding, so they let them succeed by doing the right thing and failing. "Did we really just fail to fail?!" was pretty damned funny and them failing because they failed in a completely different way than they planned was pretty funny.

Also, I had a sad laugh when they announced Richard's title. The Gavin Belson Professor of Ethics in Technology, or the Gavin Belson P.E.T.

Still, they got that last deep commentary on the nature of ideas, knowledge, and novel thought when Richard can't find the thumb drive. Once the glimmer exists, the development of that glimmer is inevitable, no matter how much you might try to contain the knowledge.

Pretty good finale, sucks that they didn't get their billions but they did save the world. Gilfoyle and Dinesh are truly best friends although they'll never admit it. They're basically Drama and Turtle in nerd form.

Big Head having to be told why they called him Big Head was fantastic. Everything with him was great. Also slight conspiracy but I think Monica gave Richard's flash drive to the NSA

My one problem was Jin Yang stealing Ehrlich's identity. I just knew that was going to happen but was still holding out hope they got TJ Miller instead. Couldn't care less for Jin Yang.

Ya i kinda thought that last minute kinda had A cats cradle ice-nine type of vibe.

Richard thought he failed and saved the earth, but never truly destroyed his creation and lost track of it. Maybe the guy who gave it to Dinesh stole it back because it had some pictures on it.

Things that I really liked

The Bighead stuff
Richard being the The Gavin Belson Professor of Ethics in Technology
Dined and Gil starting a company/being next door neighbors.
Jing Yang asking Richard to make him rich

Hated

The Monica NSA scene even with cigarette throw back it didn’t work
The Gavin interview with the ghostwriter interrupting
Jared working at a nursing home. He was one of my favorite characters but his ending was sad.
The rats
Gabe changing the code back
