offered the cheapest pizza in the area

they were losing money per transaction by re-packaging until they could scale up enough to offer their own manufactured products

Why not just wait until they offered their own pizza? What VC would greenlight this strategy. Just seems like a terrible plot device.

So my idea is the guy saw a 9K loss and with Richard's threat, just folded the entire company? It's certainly TV.



I think it had more to do with the fact he knew Richard could keep going if he wanted to. Losing $9,000 was just a demonstration.

Why keep fighting and your company becoming less valuable?

Shut down delivering pizza until product development is complete. It was a junk idea. You're either a pizza maker, pizza delivery service or service app.

What kind of dumb frick goes I'll go into all three verticals that isn't Dominos or Pizza Hut.

- jing yang replaces bachman as the schemer behind the scenese on a series of misadventures. only miller is funny and has a presence. tiny chinaman does not


This bothers me the most, Jian Yang is only funny when he is in a scene with Erlich


I actually kind of like where they're going with Jian Yang.

From English-deficient innocent immigrant who plays hi-jinx on his landlord to ultra-corrupt Chinese authoritarian type. I think it could work very well if they do it right.

Jian Yang is going to be funny when he and Richard or he and Gilfoyle come to cross purposes. His only primary conflict was about the house but once he acquires 10% of the business he will have more characters to piss off.

I loved when Jian Yang said "that's my cousin".

Yes they were. I thought the episode had a lot of subtle laughs and loved it myself.

Miller’s absence is very apparent. It just wasn’t funny. I found myself checking to see how much longer the episode had when typically it seems to end too soon.

Jared is the best

is this your first time watching this show? Richard has crippling anxiety in front of large crowds

It's just part of the endless butthurtred of the most miserable people in the world - entertainment message board posters.

It's always the same shite. "Writers. Early seasons. It was better when ________ did _________." Thinking TJ fricking Miller was an indispensable cast member takes the cake.

fricking losers.

You’re consistently among the worst, most miserable posters on this board, so this is adorable coming from you.

I think it sucked too, but because I'm just tired of the same shite. Let the guys have some prolonged success and build a conflict from that. I just feel like I'm being set up for a gut punch of them failing

I enjoyed the episode, but I agree with this. I would like to see them make it off the ground level this season...even if they eventually get knocked back down over the course of the season.

Erlich's character was great in small doses, but I don't think his presence will be missed too much. This show has introduced so many great characters that they can fill a 30 minute time slot without him.

Hell, the doctor is one of my favorite characters. Looking forward to episode 2 just for 1 minute of him.
