Silicon Valley is probably HBO's least humorous half hour ever, but I agree that they have a pretty strong hour of comedy on Sunday nights.

Another great episode, this show is still on such a good streak. The scripts and line deliveries are top notch.

Selina was totally jelaous of her daughter, Amy's expressions are gettin increasibly absurd, I hope we get more of Maddox and Chung as the campaign intrnsifies.

Theres gonna be a debate episode, yeah?

I'll add quick programming note that the episode runs an extra 5 minutes tonight (actual runtime listed at 33 minutes). Just an FYI for people's schedules, DVR schedules, etc

I thought Jonah was somehow going to blunder into exposing Amy there, but I guess that's one for another day. Great episode, I don't know why I was laughing for like a minute straight at that stupid hat.

Everyone got completely shit on this episode. It was amazing. I love how defeated Selina sounded as the ep went on; the realization why Ray was hired especially got me.

"...Dan pimped me out?"

So much good stuff in this ep. Thick of It cameo, everything with Amy, Dan's breakdown. Selina interrupting Gary just because she could and he asked her not to.

Have they ever shown Selina as being somewhere near competent?

The last time I recall was the speech at the funeral.


I need a bit of high with the lows.

Damn she is sooo fine!

EDIT: Holy shit the last scene when Jonah is reading Dan's "symptoms" had me nearly on the ground. I love this show.

Good point, but that's not really in her character. Not that she's completely devoid of positive qualities, she just doesn't embody any of those classic traits of a great politician. Whatever stuff they had her doing that qualified for "real" work(lock down negotiations?) is gone. She's got the superficial charm down anyway.

I don't think the point is she's not a good politician - I think the point is she's an average politician with ambitions and goals she'll never reach, ideals she'll have to compromise every day and a workday spent doing everything but thinking up good policies - again, the average politician's life.

Fantastic episode. I was laughing all the way through. Also, there was so many giffable moments:
