While tertiary characters have certainly livened things up from time to time, it’s doubtful anyone’s favorite memories of the series focus on Russ Hanneman (Chris Diamantopoulos) or Jack Barker (Stephen Tobolowsky). The happy sounds of friendship coming from Erlich’s incubator were a perfect way to close.īut more important than ending on a positive future outlook was how the ending set up such a positive future for “Silicon Valley.” It was an emphatically joyous ending to a season otherwise similar to what came before - still clever and still in line with the show’s spirit. Still fuming over how Richard embarrassed him earlier in the day, Erlich fiercely stated how his decision was nothing more than a “business opportunity,” overtly telling his former friend their relationship would remain strictly professional.īut instead of a hard cut to catastrophe, Erlich’s adament stance was interrupted by a smash to their joyful reunion, moments later, surrounded by the rest of the Pied Piper crew. And Judge teased taking us there when Richard and Erlich met up, poolside, post-meeting. As soon as Bachmanity was announced as the new owner, it felt like there was plenty of time for another windfall. So, as “The Uptick” was winding down, fans were likely on pins and needles waiting for the other shoe to drop. The twists were clever, but also a bit brutal. Season 2 showed Richard miraculously surviving the Hooli lawsuit, but quickly cut to him getting fired as CEO. Season 1 found Pied Piper winning TechCrunch, but closed with Richard having a panic attack and throwing up in a dumpster. They both teased a bright future before cutting you off at the waist in the end. Remembering the previous finales is a bit like recalling a great date that ended with, “Oh, did I forget to mention my boyfriend?” - something Jared wouldn’t understand because, you know, he fucks. And not only that, but the decision to unite all our favorite characters under one roof trims the fat in a way the show was unwilling to do before. Why? Because Season 3 marks the happiest ending for “Silicon Valley” to date - arguably, the only happy ending. Miller) sneaky plan to save Pied Piper from the clutches of Gavin Belson (Matt Ross) did come out of nowhere, and even if savvy viewers were observant enough to put together the financial capabilities of Bachmanity and how it would save Richard (Thomas Middleditch) from squalor, predicting that ending would’ve been gutsy. No, not the twist ending of “The Uptick,” “ Silicon Valley’s” Season 3 finale - not exactly.
