Gilfoyle and Dinesh never ending rivalry makes up for lack of Errich Bachman.

 

[JianYang]

Sad to see it coming to an end, but it did lose something without erlich, IMO.

Anyways, 6 seasons. That's a good run.

Nah. He's missed. Way too unique of character to not be.

However, I do get the feeling they are building up to Dinesh finally just destroying Gilfoyle in the season finale.

Still great IMO. I like Erlich but the interesting thing about him is that he kind of operated comedically outside of the other 4 main characters. Really, outside of Jian-Yang, I don't think you lose any dynamic with the rest of the cast.

Like if you were to take Gilfoyle away for example, Dinesh would probably suffer greatly.

Yeah, Jian yang has been far less compelling without erlich.

True and false. You're right the show is still good. But on the other hand the guys need that over the top idiot of whom you never know quite what to expect to balance out their nerdie predictible personalities.

Jin Yang? I did not mind his charater arc of last season. It thought it was funny to see him become more like Erlich. But, yeah better with Bachman still.

My question is what happened to Jin Yang's face? He hardly looks like the young version from season one.

 

[discostu]

Regarding Jin Yang, it was funny to watch the actor essentially play an Ehrlich type in Crazy Rich Asians, and then have his character on SV start moving towards there.

I think the show worked well without Ehrlich. We'll never know how his character would have been handled, but it's hard to see how he'd fit into plot as the company became more successful.

He was definitely funny during his run, but I don't feel that this was a case where a huge hole was left by a cast departure.

I find that the sub plots around Richard Belson provides enough of a B story most of the time.

 

[peate]

It's a great show, but it has run it's time. The ending should be interesting.

 

[Hivemind]

I didn't really like the increased screen time for Jin Yang. He was great as a bit joke, especially when leveraged against Ehrlich, but going from a recurring characters to a core character didn't really work that well for me.

Too many special occasions

 

[Legionnaire]

Too many special occasions

I'd guess so.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Great show, sad it will be ending but it's run its course.

 

[Martinez]

I find myself laughing less at this show the last few seasons. The soundtrack always delivers though.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

1st episode was ok, time for it to end though

 

[Jussi]

Did the Facebook logo in the intro turn into Cyrillic version before this season?

I enjoyed the first episode of the season. Guilfoyle vs Dinesh will never get old.

 

[Tuggy]

Love the show and enjoyed the episode.

Still entertaining for me.

 

[Blender]

First episode was ok. Show hasn't been great for a few years, but I'll watch to the end here.

They started that last season with the Facebook logo.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

I loved Jared going insane on Richard, I'm state raised

 

[Brodeur]

Caught up on the first two episodes last night. I had forgotten where some of the characters were at the end of the previous season. I thought they had already ditched Colin and I couldn't remember what Laurie the VC was doing.

 

[Jussi]

Loved seeing the doctor from Love Boat (Bernie Kopell) on the Hooli board.

"Are you familiar with the dating app Grindr? - No. Yes."

Jared going crazy was one of the best moments in the show ever.

 

[Kurtz]

This season's off to a real good start after the past lackluster season or two.

 

[Blender]

Jared losing it on Richard was great.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Loved Dinesh getting all excited when the HR lady tore down Gilfoyle.
