No we haven't. Maybe a bit after last week, but he only really became an "antagonist" in a true sense this season. Honestly, he's more like Kato in the Pink Panther. Jarred is just a good-hearted weirdo who compliments Richard, and to a larger degree, what Richard has built and is building.

In a subversive way, I think this show is ultimately going to be revealed as Jared as the protagonist and Jin Yiang as the antagonist - characters there from the very beginning and are actually following a character arc.


I sure hope not. Jin Yiang does nothing for me without Erlich

I feel like this show has gone nowhere in 5 seasons.

I agree with that. But, rumors are next year they are supposed to be dealing with success. This year hasn't been as depressing for them either.

Jared is definitely secretly psycho, maybe a serial killer

Yeah the ICO seems like a dumb move/back to square one again.

I don’t understand how Jian Yang can delete users?

So no one's going to talk about Lori's evil turn to Chinese Pied Piper? Now that she's no longer connected to Pied Piper, it seems like the logical, cold thing she'd do.

I thought this episode was one of the best of the season. It didn’t have some of the one liners as the others, but it was quality from the history of money PowerPoint, to the Tesla jokes, to Gavin trying to find a new manufacturer, and to Jared getting jealous at the new assistant.

It looks like the Chinese competitor is using a bunch of phones to up the users in Pied Piper to be 51% of the users then take them all offline at the same time. I dont think Jian Yang is going to be doing it. In fact, I'd bet Jian Yang ends up saving them.

The conversation leading to going there and then Gavin at the plant in North Carolina was one of the better scenes the show has done. All sorts of really solid commentary bundled into about five minutes of the show.

For those who don’t know, a link to Gilfoyle’s full PowerPoint is on reddit.

True, but that doesn’t bother me that much for a comedy as it would for a drama. It’s better if the plot progresses, but I can stick it out with a comedy as long as it keeps making me laugh.

God, I totally lost it when Gavin explains to the North Carolinans that he's technically a citizen of Bermuda for tax reasons then in the next breath starts railing about foreigners coming in to take advantage of good honest Americans.
