Sad. Sad it’s over, and sad the characters didn’t get the reward from their build, having to keep everything internal

I hate to see the serious end too and I was usually always lost in all the tech speak lingo to grasp the meanings. In this last episode the Big Head parts made me laugh and Gavin Belson with his ghost writer. Does anyone knows what’s up next for Mike Judge? I’ll give anything he’s involved with a shot. I loved how Guilfoyle ended up hiring that John dude that beat him repeatedly at chess for his new company.

The network announced on Monday that it had given a series production commitment to not one but two series from Silicon Valley co-creator/executive producer Mike Judge.

QualityLand, which is set in the near future, unspools the story of “humanity’s struggle against the tyranny of convenience — but funny,” according to the logline. Judge will serve as executive producer and co-writer alongside Josh Lieb (The Daily Show). The series is based on Marc-Uwe Kling’s life-optimization satirical novel QualityLand.

The second project, titled A5, is a limited series, and follows a bioengineer who discovers the gene that is responsible for turning people into, well, assholes. The protagonist will attempt to “answer the questions nagging at all of us: Why do assholes exist? Why have they come to dominate our culture? And can they be cured?”

Judge will co-write A5 with Silicon Valley producer Etan Cohen (Tropic Thunder), and both will serve as executive producers.

QualityLand and A5 are the first projects announced as part of an overall exclusive two-year deal that Judge is signing with HBO.

The first is Qualityland, an adaptation of Marc-Uwe Kling’s novel of the same name, which Judge is co-writing with Silicon Valley’s Josh Lieb. Set in the near future, Qualityland is about a world where advancements in technology have made everything better and more convenient… except, you know, not really.

The other, A5, is a “limited series” about a scientist who “discovers the gene that makes a person an a-hole.” Naturally, after that scientific breakthrough, it all becomes a question of why so many people are assholes and whether or not they can be cured. There are some gross implications there, as there were with Idiocracy, but hopefully it’ll at least be funny enough to make that stuff ignorable. Judge is co-writing A5 with Etan Cohen, who worked on King Of The Hill and other things we won’t mention here out of politeness. (Cough, Holmes And Watson, cough.)

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

Not bad.


I’m imagining Big Head unknowingly waltzing into his office to borrow a thumb drive to save some silly worthless file on it and leaving it on a public computer in the Stanford library where some a-hole student finds it and tries to pass it off as their own work.

Possibly even the girl at the incubator house, pretending she’d never heard of Peid Piper was suspicious imo, even though it was funny/sad showing how irrelevant they had all become after literally saving the world.


I thought the finale was awesome.

Loved the Office style documentary and the flashbacks showing how it all went down.


I did like that they all seemed to end up legitimately happy even though they didn’t get the recognition for the work they did then selflessly undid for the good of the world.

Fitting. I’d put this up there with some of the better comedy finales ever.

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

The drive that Gabe gave Dinesh was a little orange one, as Richard described, so I interpreted the ending to mean that Dinesh didn’t actually deploy the sabotage build and it was the original build that caused the rats, meaning they would have failed either way. Could be wrong though

I actually thought about that, which would be hilarious, but that was in his office at Stanford, so it wouldn’t make sense that he thought he left it in the drawer since he wasn’t even working at Stanford yet.

The scene played as though he had seen it there recently.

Huh? Dinesh used an orange flash drive on the super node. He did actually sabotage the app deployment.

They just failed with their frequency blast on the sabotaged flash drive which was supposed to make everything go haywire,, instead it did Jareds sleep deprived pied piper pitch lmao.

I was really hoping when they all met up at the end somebody would whip out a bottle of Russ’ tequila. They’d all get fricked up. Everybody passes out except Richard. And then the show ends with him drunkenly starting to tell the camera man something like “you know we saved the world right?” And you know he’s about to accidentally spill the beans.

I didn't like the episode at first. I think I will watch it again. I guess it makes sense it was ended with a huge win followed immediately by another crushing failure.

I thought Jared was about to pull out the tequila instead of the always blue cubeball.

But I think the ending was great, Richard "losing" a USB drive with potentially Skynet and the end of the human race is a nice touch. I kept waiting for them to cut back to "Erlich Bachman" and Jin Yang launching the code from the USB.
