硅谷第六季

这不是什么剧评，只是我看完了还是想写点什么。

经历了第四五两季越来越缺少创意的情况下，在最终季里所有编剧再次满血复活，在最后的结尾打造了令所有观众叹为观止的升华。

魔笛团队在充满欺骗的硅谷中用事了拂衣去的侠客风范为整个故事画上了完美的句号。

这个始于孵化器的故事成功地同时展现了程序员琐碎的日常细节和硅谷大环境里科技巨头间的相互争斗。

当然同时也近乎指明道姓地批评了脸书谷歌优步这些硅谷王者级企业。

六年时间，《硅谷》给所有观众全方位展示了科技的变化-不再是to make world a better place,而是再那些被‘黑化’的coder的带领下向利益更大化的道路上越走越远。

在整个六季中，pp始终还是pp，Richard，Gilf，Dinesh等等所有人的特点也从来没有改变，或许也早已暗示了这个结局，但是能将其拍出一种有着侠客风范的悲壮感绝对是一个让人意想不到的最恰当的处理方式。

一点私人回忆，对初创公司来说最开心的时刻莫过于此了吧

第一季的最后一集我总共看了四遍。

四个老宅男想出来的高效打飞机原理直接封神还是那句经典的罗曼罗兰—‘世上只有一种英雄主义，就是在认清生活真相之后依然热爱生活’pp团队最后又玩起了always blue的时候再次诠释了它（只是如果有erlich的惊喜回归就更好了，我个人还是非常喜欢这个角色的设定—嘴皮子厉害，但是关键时刻永远靠得住），而斯坦福学生对于pp团队的不屑一顾也算是一个点睛之笔。

在可以遇见的未来里，硅谷都会是我最爱的剧集，没有之一。

一间茅舍，万行代码，投老村家。

山中何事？

松花酿酒，春水煎茶。

这是这几年来少数看完的美剧，尤其是还有这么多季的。

第6集的时候，以为已经是happy ending了，没想到还有个第七集的不那么完美的ending。

真希望真的有一个去中心化的互联网，每个人都能守护自己的信息安全，而不是将自己的信息暴露给国家以及各种互联网巨头。

Richard在第6季开头的演讲，真的也有一点触动。

这部作品其实展示了互联网的很多方面，发展得这么快的产业，以及那么有规模效应的事情，其实涌进了很多聪明人，很多在各方面都很有特色的人，这部作品也在放大互联网人的一些特点。

但其实不太知道，其它行业背景的同学是否能够get到其中的很多笑点，从热度来说，应该很多人是没有get到的。

Richard一直在成长，跟随着piedpipers一起成长，我们一起看着他从一名优秀的程序员成长为一名合格的CEO。

虽然最后的结局可能并非完美的，但生活就是如此。

感谢硅谷给自己带来的欢乐，陪伴了自己这几个月的出门旅行

啊，最终季了！

超级舍不得！

爱他们每一个人，暖心温柔无条件包容男主的Jared骚浪贱的Dinesh腹黑悲观但其实超正的Gilfoyle还有jingyang、这季不再出现的房主一直相伴左右的小姐姐，甚至是hooli的老板都如此可爱以及，可以算是网络世界里的超人男主Richard互联网大规模使用不过才20年的时间人类的交流沟通、技术发展、甚至是结构体制都因为这张网发生了翻天覆地的变化就像男主在本季开篇所说：谷歌、脸书，已经是这个世界的王，统治的领土远超历史上所有的君王每一个个体，还有所谓的自由吗？

男主心目中的去中心化，真的可能吗？

Gilfoyle说得没错，人类逊爆了！

作为即将入职Software Engineer/Machine Learning Engineer的毕业生，点开《硅谷》是想看看这里适不适合自己，本以为是热血创业番喜剧 + 美帝惯有的个人英雄主义拯救世界， 观看途中总是边笑边叹。

没想到喜剧整这么深刻，最后一集还猝不及防升华了主题。

剧组应该用心地体验了硅谷程序员、创业团队的生活，很多设置和梗的确传神，也与时俱进地在剧情中加入了很多社会热点新闻，比如对AI机器人的恐惧、美国制造回迁、对互联网巨头垄断和挖掘用户数据来牟利的忧虑。

Richard在本季开头参加国会会议的画面莫名就让我想起Mark Zuckerberg因为FB的隐私问题接受国会质询的场景。

最后一集Bill Gates还客串露脸评价了Pied Piper，他好像也是剧粉，来自老大的肯定哈哈。

剧里每个人物都能令人有更多的思考。

Richard这种智商一流，情商堪忧的人更适合当研发岗的IC，创业的话实在是难堪管理和领导的重任（ 潦倒不通世务，行为偏僻乖张）。

虽然他有一次确实通过一个人加班超额超速完成任务earned trust来激励员工，但这种行为是不可持续，而且不能scale的。

我不说观众们随便就能举出很多因为他太“作”而差点搞垮公司，然后靠自己的奇思妙想+天降奇兵来救场续命。

说实话，创业能撑到第六年才散伙已经是谢天谢地。

最后去Stanford当教授算是适合他的归宿——居然是Gavin给的冠名教授，教Ethics, 还是大头hire他的，果然最好的朋友和对手才是最了解、欣赏你的人。

在创业这个希望与绝望共生的旅途中，我们眼见这Richard从一开始为了不开除无用的好兄弟大头甘愿得罪核心团队甚至是拖累公司商业计划，到后来为了维持公司考虑要不要扔Gilfoyle出去为AI hacked智能冰箱（实质救了当时因为资源不足要崩溃的服务）背锅；从一开始绝对坚持don't do evil, 到后来为了留住客户和投资默许暗中挖掘用户数据、植入广告，纠结要不要take blood money (智利奴隶主开价10 billion for 10% stock)。

你一旦进了斗兽场、名利场，还想做个好人，可真难。

这一路上主角团用了多少灰色甚至是违法的手段才活下来，比如为了应对别人的要挟/诬告，以暴制暴，想办法拿到别人的把柄来反炸——讽刺的是那次为了反击想要靠专利碰瓷他们2万刀的大爷，Richard想要联合其他app的团队一起拒绝付钱私了，结果那些人开完会转头过去就和大爷私了，让大爷有胆提高了敲诈额，最后Richard是靠编造大爷的cash cow, 那首歌本身也抄袭了别的歌才让大爷放弃敲竹杠，然而之前为了联合其他公司，找律师起草文件就花了不止2万刀——有时候苦苦追求正义的代价会比你直接向邪恶低头的代价还大，这世道。

Pied Piper最早的投资人，Peter, 从前也是Richard, 他也有这个new Internet的想法，只是因为当年的技术实现不了，专利又被Gavin申请了才放弃。

他后来变成了一个除了见到Gavin几乎毫无感情波动的人，好像活成了一台商业机器，天才头脑完全用于盈利。

最后因为被河马惊吓跑出帐篷，太久没有跑步而突然逝去，天才的荒诞谢幕。

Gavin从前是另一个Richard，他和Peter在车库里白手起家，越做越大，好兄弟却分道扬镳。

他为了成功走上了黑化的道路。

他依然有科技品位（理解并欣赏Richard的技术，普通用户觉得太engineered，不好用的初代PP数据存储产品他会觉得超级棒，因为他懂行，看一眼Jian Yang的白板就知道他们绕开了自己给PP的new Internet专利），然而他站在Hooli CEO的位置上，或者说他能站上这个位置，靠的是能够安抚投资人、董事会，能够忽悠团队、消费者，靠的是长袖善舞+虚伪狡诈+冷血无情。

你说他坏吧，他又和完全信奉商学院教条的职业经理人Bucker不一样，他还尚存一点点情怀和追求，于是总是差一点而没能把PP置于死地。

比如在争夺new Internet 51%控制权那里，他本来是联合YaoNet要一起删掉Richard的账户，但是Richard对他说：这是你原来的构想，你可以把它发扬光大的，求你别毁了它，我宁愿转让给你blabla，Gavin真就马上变心准备接受，这才给Richard的团队可乘之机增加用户夺回控制权。

我猜Gavin看Richard是不是像看当年的自己，非要赢Richard好像是要justify自己变成这样是正确的选择，某种意义上真是相爱相杀。

编剧给人物的结局有点因果循环，“善恶到头终有报”的意思。

Richard为了不让失控的AI酿成大祸，选择终结了自己的创业公司，他把道德看得比商业成功更重要，所以他成了Ethics的教授，不用再去追逐盈利。

大头好像没什么追求，但是对兄弟几乎有求必应（对Richard多次援手就不说了，为了给Jian Yang找打枪的靶子，直接倒可乐来搜集空罐子，就真的有多少都能给兄弟的那种）。

傻人有傻福，不知道他怎么躺赢到Stanford校长的（难道是各方博弈下，觉得他最让人放心不会坑自己？

）。

他不管是在顺境还是逆境，待人接物都是一样的，不捧高踩低，不趋炎附势，也算是 “富贵不能淫，贫贱不能移，威武不能屈” 。

Erich急功近利，莽撞无礼，但是对落魄兄弟还有点热心肠，他百般折腾了那么久，最后终于有了等值于巨额财富的股票，他却失踪在Tibet无福消受，只有昔日兄弟试图找过他。

Jian Yang可能因为受过Erich羞辱 + 自己性格问题，对Erich恨之入骨，自己创业赚到了第一桶金几百万刀，本来也已经熬出头了，为了赌气要支付Erich所有的债务来继承他的遗产（得不偿失），又和Erich当年一样做起了incubation, 最后在深山老林里冒名顶替Erich生活——仇恨可以蒙蔽你的双眼，让你活成你讨厌的人。

Laurie是冷血投资客，只谈钱不谈道义感情，十年之后在监狱里接受采访（我猜可能是涉嫌金融犯罪吧）。

PP团队的其他伙伴们：冤家Dinesh和Gilfoyle还是一起互怼着创业，成了邻居；白富美Monica去当了公务员；缺乏亲情关爱的Jared去了养老院陪伴老人，大家都各得其所。

虽然他们没有享受到创业成功的大富大贵，但是过上了无愧无悔，内心安宁的生活，这是他们选择的成功。

经历了命运的冰桶挑战，撒旦的诱惑，还能够坚持做一个好人（小事上可能犯浑，大是大非面前站稳），这种内在属性，就是对好人的奖赏，不为外物所动。

为什么不打五星？

这部剧在愤世嫉俗，笑看深渊的同时充满了stereotypes。

比如它嘲笑对于反racist的过于政治正确，平常说活都要字斟句酌。

但是在角色中，我确实有点被冒犯到。

亚裔角色：Jian Yang, Ed Chen, Tracy, Yao厂长，Gavin的精神导师，偷PP算法的团队成员， etc., 都是不讨人喜欢的角色，要么让人觉得头脑不正常，要么工于心计、不择手段。

唯一算是正面的亚裔主要角色可能只有Dinesh, 但是他又有莫名的嫉妒心和胜负欲，总是和Gilfoyle无谓地争斗。

比如它嘲讽女权互助组织，表面上是support women, 其实是为了自己的个人品牌、network, 女性大佬们并没有真正热心培养新人。

在本剧中，女性角色基本属于秘书、运营、财务和气氛组，技术大拿或者高管里（除了VC的Laurie和Monica）基本看不到女性的身影。

虽然当程序员队伍扩展到几十人的时候我们确实看到了几个女程序员，不过总体而言女性角色在数量和塑造的质量上都不如男性角色。

当然，剧组这样安排可能是为了反映现实，在科技行业女性的存在感也许真的不高，等我进去看看。

再比如里面的功成名就的人基本都是为富不仁，比如也许是为了喜剧感脏话连篇（我来美国六年了听到的粗口也没这里一集听到的多……程序员同事之间交流更是没听过），比如天才的低情商没对象生活难以自理的人设，比如嘲讽我们血汗工厂官商勾结……P.S. 如果我在最后一集，发现AI会破解加密信息，我并不会直接kill it to save the world. 首先我会尝试修改heuristic funcition, 让它不要只将效率作为优化目标，还应该考虑privacy问题，如果不好加heuristic的话可以考虑加rule-based model。

至少在kill it之前，我会详细研究AI使用过的优化pattern，也许有希望在关掉它之后用不需要破解加密信息的优化算法取代它。

当然，由于我一开始就觉得这个new Internet不靠谱，fail fast也许是最合理的选项。

虽然大家的手机比起从前是强大多了，但用户自己的活动就要占用很多资源，尤其是对于不清理手机的、玩游戏的，如果仅靠用户的手机群就能提供超算资源（且不说把它们有效联合起来的资源调度问题），那AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, 国内的阿里云等云服务怎么做的起来？

现在问题来了，作为new SDE/MLE, 我要不要去硅谷呢？

故事的最后，不是每一段旅程都会成为传奇。

看完的第一天，和看完的第二天，我对结局有着完全截然不同的感受。

第一天时我觉得，这个结局糟透了，那句Gavin Belson Professor of Tethics背后，想来是数不尽的心灰意冷与辛酸，当ta们五个人齐聚在Erlich的房子里，每一处物是人非的细节，也想必是说不清的哀思与忧伤。

第二天时我想，其实ta们过得也很好，Richard上周才见过Jared，Dinesh也和Gilfoyle一起开了公司，ta们确实做出了最了不起的网络，也为了不可能更好的理由主动放弃了成功，这样的人生，怎么会充斥苦恨与忧伤。

现在是第三天，我觉得：如果曾经那样投入地去做过哪件事情，you don't just fucking do something else and keep being happy。

最后，我想我纠缠繁复的感受大致来源于以下2个方面：1. “欲买桂花同载酒，终不似，少年游”的欲说还休；2. 致过去、现在、未来，世界上所有，“掷地无声”的伟大。

看完结局有感而发：每个人都有功成名就的梦想吧。

感谢这部剧，为剧里剧外的人都造了这样一个梦。

Richard一直在坚持着一种道德标准，而且整个主创的团队价值观都相同，做事齐心协力。

从鉴赏的角度，大概会说，结局表达了人类最崇高的理想。

这才是真正的不作恶。

作为电视剧，这个结局真的很棒了。

很多剧拖得太长还烂尾……再写下去，很难说不会重现前面的情节。

能自圆其说，见好就收，吹爆编剧！

想起《无问西东》里有一句话：这个时代缺的不是完美的人，缺的是从心里给出的真心、正义、无畏和同情。

高人，往往不是亡羊补牢，而是预判危机、遏制萌芽。

只是普通人达不到这个高度，看不到……剧里剧外的人，都是这样。

本季刚出之时写的：纯粹自己记录着玩儿的，想到什么就写什么啦。

顺带摘录些好玩儿的台词。

写在这里，是因为会比较长。

但是七个星期后的我必须跑到前面来说一句，最开始没有想到自己这么不会写剧评…… 最后只能变成大段大段摘抄台词了…… 尴尬…… 我要多看看别人写的……欢迎交流呀～我开始看的时候，前五季都已经出了。

第一次也是最后一次，每周追，不如试试看一集写一集吧。

看一集少一集，好舍不得！

还以为会像TBBT一样出十几季呢……感谢人人影视字幕组！！！

天天字幕组！！！

是字幕组们撑起了我对于英美剧的爱好E01白宫听证，还以为会重现扎克伯格。

点出的问题很现实。

编剧写Richard的发言很棒，要想摆脱垄断公司的控制就如同反抗国王的统治一样，必须争取人民独立自主，即争取民众对数据的自主权。

所以，Pied Piper要创立一个全新的、民主的、去中心化的互联网来实现这个愿景。

Of the people, by the people, for the people, 林肯的演讲，妙！

So help me god 一开始以为加这句是前后矛盾的喜剧效果，毕竟民主是靠人民自己争取的，反而求助上帝？

仔细想想是因为天赋人权？

不太懂。

片头，不会分析…… 历来只留意到：阿里巴巴出现消失、facebook变俄语……Richard不知道公司有人在收集用户数据，与Yes, Prime Minister最后一集Jim不知道政府窃听议员电话如出一辙！

可以想见日后会出什么幺蛾子了……Just because it's successful, doesn't mean it's good.Next thing we know, we're fucking Facebook.Well, for the record, I would not mind being fucking Facebook.This is the cost of working with humans. They suck.AI Gilfoyle 和 AI Dinesh，神回复啊哈哈哈哈哈！

到第六季我才发现Gilfoyle是最大神的吗……可穿戴座椅，惊到我。

Hooli这条线我不太懂，多观望一下。

感觉很可怜很可惜……Richard很厉害，但是没什么心眼，错误一犯再犯。

哎呀。

Jared很像社交网络里的Eduardo Saverin。

以为自己是被需要的，却是被边缘化了。

看到最后，Jared好让人心疼啊……片尾居然这么温情，让我想哭……孵化器出来的这几个人……不太会和别人合作…… 是不是不适合开公司……感觉男性主角们都胖了…… 小肚子都出来啦……E02直接在游戏里加入广告…… 手机app也是这么窃听的……Money just perverts everything.I wanna be a lot perverted.Jared的需求和定位很明确了——实现公司由0到1的成长推手，以及看护者。

至于1如何到2、3等等，不是他想做的。

这正是他当年离开Hooli来帮助Richard的原因啊！

Gavin真是个很典型的空话套话一大堆的领导啊哈哈哈，商业计划也烂得一批，他到底是如何到这么高的地位的……保安和印度导师智商上线还能把他操纵他。

Laurie和Maximo，对手和投资者的角色不能缺席。

原来慈善是这样用的。

原来大家在吐槽白宫说辞……是不是每个公司都一定会面临道德底线的拷问，商业模式或融资？

《蝇王》比喻绝了。

有事相求的时候，Richard突然间能意识到Jared的需求，什么把你的办公室搬到楼上来……笑死。

什么是忠诚？

Melanie出场，我还以为必须出现的讨厌角色之一，没想到居然是高手。

毕竟Gilfoyle如此有个性。

最后只能幽幽吐出一句：I respect your skills.Maximo家。

每一只鸟的撞击，对应着Richard受到的心灵冲击……E03You can't put a price on ethics.But it seems you just did. One billion dollars.A sick addiction to turning down money...Maximo + Collin + Laurie，天造地设。

-Richard, did you just try to punch the wall and miss? -Nope. I clipped it. I got it. 为了推动剧情发展，又黑了中国人？

-Richard? You look like shit. -So do you. 同样是锤墙，一个自己摔倒，一个手受伤哈哈哈。

-A millionaire that gets peed on? I could see you making half that happen. -Everyone in the Valley is swimming in money. Why not me? -I believe your people have a concept for it. Karma. -Firstly,… Secondly, karma does not exist. Otherwise, it would mean that bad things happen to me because I'm a bad person. -Check, and check. -I'm a bad person? Says the guy who literally worships Satan. -In my youth, I would've argue that life is just a series of random events, devoid of any meaning. But as a data scientist, I have to recognize that sometimes patterns emerge. Undeniable patterns. Get right with the universe.接下来完美展现了Dinesh避开好事的体质……完蛋了，我好像也是这样的T_T G神的话太可怕了……CEO比惨。

We're quite a pair, aren't we? To us. To the men in the arena, living or dying under the watchful gaze of Caesar. Are you not entertained? Gavin真的好会说啊。

Gavin点出：Ironic. Exactly the same way he left me, for you. Jared always had an eye for talent.Richard一遇上Gavin，反转反转再反转。

Gavin的问题就在于，见不得双赢。

宁愿伤敌一千自损八百。

别人痛苦就是他的快乐。

-Help no rival, it's one of the basic principles of business.-We just spend the last hour bonding about how this business is comprised of backstabbers and cutthroats.-Yes, exactly! That's what this is. It's a little weird you don't get it.-I could help you, Gavin.-You already have, Richard! I was sitting up here feeling totally just impotent, and then you came along and exposed your underbelly, and practically begged me to plunge the knife in! I still have a deep hole to crawl out of, but this is a fucking great start. Look at that, it barely hurts anymore... I'm suddenly feeling a wellspring of energy. 这段太贱了哈哈哈！

-Musk built PayPal and sold. Hoffman built LinkedIn and sold...-I don't care about money. That's not why I got into this. 不忘初心的Richie末路狂花……You wanna go over the cliff, Thelma, that's fine, alright? You do you. But you gotta remember there are 500 other people in the trunk that are gonna burst into flames with you. And for what? 反转又来了，Jared力挽狂澜。

Dinesh坑bro时候的心理变化绝了，哈哈！

很想知道Gavin这么荒谬的人物究竟是讽刺谁呀……老古董们不签电子签名哈哈哈…… 一波三折的套路。

已经数不清一集反转几次了。

Dinesh怒吼：See? I suck! 唉:-( 谁不是呢……The valley is small, the road is long.Richard：I miss you, man. Jared：Whatever. I don't care. 看见微博有人说：眼泪是我掩饰不了的情感，墨镜是我最后的倔强。

下集开头是否又是Richard演讲？

期待，哈哈哈。

E04这集看完，其实没有特别想说的点。

重看一遍才搜刮出一些东西。

这集片头我终于留意到！

同一栋建筑物上，pied piper图标在渐渐变大，Hooli图标在渐渐变小！

莫名激动……刚认为收购Hooli是一件坏事，Ethan带着新点子出现。

结果是一个新的asshole。

典型反转。

下属越过分，越衬出Richard不适合当boss。

才明白，Gavin这样的asshole有天生的boss气场。

Maximizing alphaness什么鬼…… 居然奏效了…… Richard硬气了一秒哈哈哈！

Monica的“野心”开始显现了。

每个人都有自己想要的东西，但这偏偏是万恶之源。

Editors are for people who can't write correctly the first time. 哈哈哈！

I didn't fail tech. Tech failed me. Tech failed all of us. I didn't write about tech, because tech destroys worlds. And I, I wanted to create them. 失败的科技公司领头人，还是只有谈科技才有出路。

不知道是讽刺Gavin这种人，还是讽刺这个行业。

Jared父母也是够奇葩的，全程惊诧脸…… 心疼…… Jared竟然还认为是自己的错……Gilfoyle该死的胜负欲，笑哭。

对了，角色是有真实Twitter的，就是看他们发推我才知道这季要播，哈哈～ pied piper公司网站也会随剧情更新～ 这剧组太逗啦！

Holden不简单！

萌萌的外表，曾经在Jared手下还那么怂……就在编剧将Jared的形象往“保姆”深入刻画之时，Gwart和Laurie同类相遇，Jared居然说：I'm free to return to work with Richard. 他一直都想回来呀！

恶魔奶爸在微博说：美剧《硅谷》里，大家创业都讨厌大公司那一套，结果后来发现工作没效率，大公司出身的小贾过来说，我们得订制度啊，比如用小隔间，用scrum协同开发系统，swot分析工具，大家说好啊，一用效率提高了，然后一回味妈的这不就是大公司压榨人的手法么？

这种感受我自己创业，每天都在经历E05I literally love you, you spooky fuck. 说出了我们的心声呀哈哈有些百万富翁是这么奇怪的吗……美国？

5G? Excuse me?I actually don't know what to do when things are going well. It is not natural. 哈哈！

Jared和Holden的关系，音乐暗示着诡异。

Dinesh继续印证Karma……Piper-Pulse numbers, 神奇地将上一季末尾的“CP”又放在一起了，嘻嘻。

G神：Gaining someone's confidence is easy. Appear open and interested by mimicking their body language and repeating what they say back to them. I was social engineering them. Once trust is established, the social engineer simply offers up information, and the subject will reciprocate... 然后我就听不懂了……总之，change all the scores to 10s. 顺便把某人的分数改了，断绝麻烦之源。

厉害！

Gavin每次都搅得Richard心烦意乱，仿佛心病。

Gavin这种人真的挺可怕的，典型的又当又立！

还损人不利己。

满口空话套话，写小说、写宣誓书也只会抄袭，偏偏这种人当老总、有钱、有影响力。

Richard只是个践行自己价值观的程序猿，闷声干大事。

本可以在演说时来个漂亮的反击，又让Gavin抢先，唉……本季公司最大危机！

然后疯狂打脸开头…… 手段也说不上光明正大……片尾太魔性哈哈哈E06Dodgy gain, my merry knights of Piper. It's possible that son of Antonio decided that the most efficient way to get rid of all the bugs was to get rid of all the software, which is technically and statistically correct. But artificial neural nets are sort of a black box, so we'll never know for sure.Gilfoyle给我的感觉是，大神永远都是对的，错了也不是错，哈哈！

Holden's a bitch and he quit. 我还以为会有更进一步的斗争呢……At least we all stuck together. 一如既往，应对棘手问题的还是原创班子啊。

So if we can stay alive till YaoNet fucks up Hawaii, we could swoop in. 这句话，久违的激动！

还以为是长线的反击战，不眠不休奋战三天三夜，结果不到10分钟就解决了。

这很硅谷。

-The whole point of decentralized network is to prevent a single host from controlling access. So dictators can't ban dissidents. Right now there's no way to kill them or stop them throttling the network. -This is why things are easier in China. 呵呵。

-Did the Chinese government, by any chance, require you to add a back door?-Yes, I have a SSH key in my house written down. 密钥都是这样的？

写在一张纸上？

销毁了就没有了？

不懂专业知识，留个疑问。

吃纸…… 小燕子看多了吧……Big head 唱出数字…… 《IT狂人》嘿嘿。

本以为Jared身在曹营心在汉，只能说，没想到在商业博弈中还能以真心动人。

When we were together, I feel like I really saw you, the real you... not just to save my company, But to save my sanity. Because if I was wrong about who you are, then I don't know who I am. 说得我都要哭了……而后Jared说的那个"Really"…… 心颤了一下……Slowing down your network? That would be "un-tethical". 那你卖了个垃圾程序赚钱就tethical了？

Pied Piper does not scale. 又回归到程序本身的问题。

Six fucking years! We've wasted! Building this worthless piece of shit! Are you fucking kidding me? 我又以为公司要完……-We don't need better paths. We need better ants! I don't need to use Gilfoyle's AI in order to improve middle-out. I need to use middle-out to create a new AI. A symbolic AI. And now, it is teaching itself how to optimize.-That's like asking a robot to change your tire while you're driving on the freeway!-I barely touched Gilfoyle's AI.-I basically rewrote the entire thing.Voice command 笑哭160%！

-My middle-out, Gilfoyle's AI, whatever the fuck Dinesh did to Gilfoyle's AI… It worked! We did it! -You are like the three musketeers of coding, except you are all d'Artagnan. 我快要热泪盈眶！

那个变大的hologram又让我笑出声，把眼泪憋了回去。

虽然从飞机上看下去的画面还真挺美的，却回不到几秒前的那种激动。

看硅谷的心情就像坐过山车。

所以Russ参加自己的party大部分时间是换衣服吗……从白天换到天黑……Russ——百万富翁，Gavin——总裁，Laurie——投资者，是类型化的刻画吗？

真实吗？

不知道，再留个疑问。

这集的各种冲突，算是做到让前面的旁线汇集。

转折略显生硬。

每集片尾都配的好哇！

一般我听完片尾就直接关掉视频，从来不知道后面有预告…… 即使这集发现有，我也没看下去。

为留新鲜感吧。

没有看预告的习惯。

E07其实台词都已经把很多东西都说了。

一开头就是十年后，我心想也太快了吧…… 合作拿下、功成名就、安稳十年？

纪录片，从第一季追溯，真是回忆杀啊！

大结局了，终于能记住所有人的全名…… Richard Hendricks – Founder & CEO of Pied PiperDinesh Chugtai – Pied Piper VPDonald 'Jared' Dunn – Pied Piper COOMonica Hall – Pied Piper CFOBertram Gilfoyle – Pied Piper VP of ArchitectureNelson 'Big Head' Bighetti – Hacker Hostel TenantErlich Bachman – Pied Piper Investor十年前。

看Richard的衣服～Gilfoyle: How does he make it so difficult… 哈哈！

这句吐槽才真正将我从伤感中拉出来，享受笑点。

-You can find your broom and fly away. 女巫吗哈哈Dinesh: I was gonna get you a gift, but… 打岔Four dots.... 有些笑话还是好难get….不过Jared马上就笑开花儿啦～-The received messages are smaller. Our network is compressing the content of encrypted files in transit. And the only way that is possible is by bypassing encryption.Gilfoyle一个晚上搞明白了一切还做了PPT-Someone tell me how to feel.-Abject terror for you. Build from there. Once launched, our AI will keep learning to break more and more sophisticated parameters. Ultimately, this will mean the end of privacy… Pure violence will become the only basis of power.Frank Herbert. 性别歧视？

-Fix what, Richard? The network is doing exactly what we told it to do. The AI is optimizing the compression, and the compression is optimizing the AI. Everything that makes it successful is exactly what makes it dangerous. It’s a feature, not a bug.-We built a monster. We need to kill it.-We didn’t build a monster, first of all. We build the single greatest fucking network ever in the world… We are inches away from the finish line… -Give internet to underserved communities…-And we have this beautiful baby, who is a little sick… I vote we take it to the doctor, but… fuck.-I had a foster mother who thought I was the devil and that she had to kill me. And I think it was pretty traumatizing for her. 世界以痛吻我，我却报之以歌。

-The odds of Gilfoyle’s stupid crazy doomsday scenario actually coming true are… I mean, we’ve had a nuclear arsenal for decades, and we’re fine. Outside of a couple substantial blips. Two in particular. I’d say we’re safer.-The real killer is stress.-Oppenheimer famously said he regretted building the atom bomb and died in despair, but what the fuck does that have to do with anything?-We’ll just call up AT&T and say that our network is so good that it’ll eventually become some doomsday device, and we have no moral option but to destroy it before we let you release it?我想，这一段，不仅把自己说懂了，观众也懂了。

-Hey, Richard, whatever you think is best, that’s what we’re gonna do.-They just put up the billboard.-If we cancel it shut it down, then others will try to copy or reverse engineer everything that we’ve built. It’s like the four-minute mile. Everybody thought it was impossible until someone did it, and then everybody started doing it.

Fucking Gabe reverted to the old build, exclamation point, exclamation point.识别：Guys, some on, fun king games pervert old’s mobile. 美国的语音输入不行呀。

看到Richard在舞台上的战略停顿，还以为他会在台上直接把一切都说出来。

-All of us here at Pied Piper have worked so hard on this. We have given six sleepless brutal years to this project. And I am so proud of what we’ve done. My mentor, the late Peter Gregory… called it “The internet we deserve”. We have fought every step of the way to bring you the greatest network ever made. And in 5 minutes 42 seconds, that fight is over.泪点后面又是笑点……套路不该是Dinesh打不开门么……套路不该是大家认为Dinesh在骗人么……还以为地下室的“小透明”们拯救了公司……或者U盘里根本就没有错的版本……Gilfoyle最果断。

-They literally became the Pied Piper. 划重点！！！

百度后才明白编剧为什么安排老鼠！

-When you think about a lot of the failures in tech… Pied Piper really is right at the top of that list. -So I did the right thing, I helped save the world, my legs are still super sore, and my reward is that I’m poor. 这段真押韵。

-We set out to build the best thing ever built, and that’s what we did, right? We succeeded. And who can say that they literally saved the world? -Not us. Cause we can’t tell anyone what we did.让人惋惜的点正是在于，离成功只有一步之遥，还必须不体面的失败……十年后。

Gavin，co-authored, 跟Denpok永远绑在了一起… You’re stuck with me, and I’m stuck with you.Laurie: When people ask me about Pied Piper, I always tell them the same thing. Are there other questions?Jared终于找到了合适他的工作，太暖了。

-I love working with the elderly. It’s like I get to have a bunch of parents and also be their parent… It was an incredible time in my life. I never really thought that I would have a group of male friends. You know, men just seem kinda mean and hard, but these guys were as sweet and soft as rotten fruit.Gilfoyle说，Dinesh love me so much 这么直白……Incubator又是回忆杀。

Stanford学生已经不知道Pied Piper的传奇。

成王败寇……几段熟悉的音乐，太催泪了……Always blue!!!-You don’t feel bad that you never got to make the world a better place?-I think we did OK.Richard居然没有彻底销毁代码库最后为什么要落脚在where is it！

渣渣截图技术，求轻拍。

这一集的故事非常有趣，让人忍不住二刷一遍，写点感想。

经过前两集的整理铺垫，第三集迎来了一个climax，叙事节奏的把控极为精彩，宛如鼓点一般步步紧逼，稳中有变，张弛有度，足见编剧的深厚功底。

此外，30分钟之内，不同角色的分配比重非常恰当，台词让人物性格显得鲜明饱满，看的非常过瘾又回味无穷。

镜头安排也十分细致，即使是一个惊讶的小表情也被摄影捕捉的非常到位开头，Richard站在拉美黑道家明晃晃的玻璃窗面前，瑟瑟发抖，宛如那只撞墙的飞鸟。

前情回顾故事正式开始，伴随着一阵鼓点，危机潜藏涌动，Mon坐立不安，Dinesh又是一副“宝宝难以置信“的表情，Gilfo依然架着胳膊”隔岸观火“。

表情很到位Richard:毕竟道德无价。

G神：可是你早已标好价格：十亿美元（哲理金句，开始表演hhh)。

Dinesh小哥追问Mon：你jio得行吗？

Mon:Yeees(满脸通红）。

拿金钱考验苦逼IT党，是人性扭曲还是道德沦丧23333

巴铁小哥开起咆哮讽刺技能接着四个人开始打算盘，Mon对利率倒背如流，不愧是VC一姐哈哈哈

老实人Richard的纠正强迫症第一个转折，抖得比较稳：流氓Colin见钱眼开跑路了。

前景开播（动次打次滋滋滋的BG依然深得我心）拉美黑道拿下三成PP股份，小Ri一众人顿时掉血。

(vomit梗，讲真，人紧张的时候，胃里真的会有翻江倒海的感觉orz)。

Love & Peace

G神哲理表演第二波之暗黑历史故事，诡异音乐好评画风一转，Jared内心的小纠结（这里能看出是真爱了吧），想激怒警官但是骂人技术太烂，都把警官整笑了（哎呦喂，扶额头）

“不打扰 是我的温柔 就让你自由 自由”

暖男Jared讲故事，对“被卖”全然不知，对比反差鲜明画风回转，场景由多人戏转为二人对话，G神和Dinesh,小酒吧。

D：因果报应存在嘛？

我是个坏人嘛？

G神：Check, and Check."In my youth I would argue that life is just a series of random advances to avoid any meaning. But as a data scientist, I have to recognize that, sometimes, patterns emerge. UNDENIABLE PATTERNS. Get right with the universe."

G神哲理表演第三波之命运是随机漫步or因果报应 诡异音乐好评

天道好轮回 听bro讲Dinesh小哥的Kama故事画风再转，依旧是二人对手戏，Richard & Gavin, 加州健步道。

硅谷除了高科技公司的办公大楼，周边还是很贴近大自然的，jogging is good.小R和胡老总一顿谈笑风生，背景音乐明媚和谐，宛如加州阳光。

然俄，打脸来的太快就像龙卷风R：可是...我们刚才花了那么久抱怨这个产业有多少叛徒和小人...胡老总：是！

可不就是这样儿吗？！

你咋还搁这儿说这大伙都知道的事儿呢？！

（Gavin 这个老油条hhh，心疼小R续一秒)

胡老总的厚黑学：too young too naive.形势急转直下，atterney晓之以理，动之以情，小R又被劝地服服帖帖，Jared一通来电更是雪上加霜，小R无奈背锅，为了顾全大局，准备放弃（从当初的固执坚守到如今的无可奈何，他也学会了向现实妥协）。

学法的就是666，演员戏份不多，但总是能成为亮点

出离愤怒的小天使Jared峰回路转，拉美黑道的重金购买行为抬高了PP市值，超过了Hooli。

而此时又逢Jian Yang 从中作梗，把Jared和大眼女孩卖给了Hooli，Jared守护心切，扔出王炸，联手小R一众人背水一战。

谈到分家产，Dinesh颇有二师兄风范

本集两条支线相交了接下来，无敌螺旋反击骚操作来了！

他来了来了！

#Action 1#：为了筹措资金购买Hooli,需要把PP股份以高价卖给拉美黑道以外的人，这是必会割一波韭菜，因为收购Hooli之后，投委会将要求拉美黑道抛售所有股份，PP市值将会暴跌，但是保住了小R一众人的独立自由。

从今日起 开始守望

有点儿CP感 镜头好评

我把你当兄弟，你却把我卖了#Action 2#：Richard Squad要趁胡老总参加铁人三项的天赐机遇，在两小时以内说服Hooli股东签约，并分头和各大股东签好合同，拿下Hooli。

此时剧情又分成了两条线，一条是Richard小分队，一条是胡老总比赛进程。

这一部分也是抖包袱的集中区域，和紧锣密鼓的进程相得益彰。

BG好评，前一条线索是DJ电子乐加潜动的鼓点，好像吃豆人大作战，有一种，emm......玩儿上世纪90年代古早游戏机的既视感：）后一条线索是简单的弦乐加动次打次的打碟声，把“蛮拼的”胡老总烘托的惟妙惟肖O(∩_∩)O哈哈

我寻思这帮人都是托儿吧，胡老总开跑十几秒才放枪跟跑呢哈哈哈

G神硬核技能之call me hackerson.

生死看淡 不服就干

股东很早就对胡老总感觉不爽了hhh

“我们老年人不搞那套”，你永远摸不清甲方人的套路，老姜就是这么出其不意

再多说点儿吧，High tech VC无论多么漂亮，传统的finance还是非常old school的，高贵且傲慢，美东的NYer真就不怎么看得惯美西的卫衣套头衫，嫌他们“吵吵闹闹，浮夸浮躁”，当然这些都是sterotype,无意引战，且当戏言云耳。

Richard脸拉得老长了哈哈哈

虚假的铁人三项

我不是耙耳朵！

下一秒，签它！

胡老总喘气儿喘得已经说不清话了，字幕组可可爱爱哈哈#Action 3#：转折再起，G神失算，胡老总得知自己被卖，奔袭到Hooli股东姜老头办公室，想实施自己的“一票否决权”，从而阻止Hooli被卖，然而还是晚了7分钟（Mon, 小R，Jared三人同时看表神同步，表面不和还是阻挡不了潜在的默契呀）。

胡老总只得竭力劝说老头不要签约。

下面就是超级·不要脸·奥斯卡级别·大演说家时刻！

Dinesh的演绎巅峰，串联起了该角色前前后后的众多大坑，刷新众人三观下线,说的老头立马签约！

（不知怎得竟然想起权游里面小恶魔在逃亡前的愤怒演说，果然HBO是相亲相爱一家人呀，高光时刻老爱用speech scene。

)剧情发展到这一步，其实就有些套路啦，所谓的”最后一分钟“法则，已经被所有故事反复使用，但还是百看不厌：）这一部分的BG再次转成“光影式鼓点”（我自己取的名儿），表现人物冲突，富有张力。

胡老总胡说什么大实话呵呵呵

瞧这个浓眉大眼的家伙真是“心狠手辣”hhh

老头都被Dinesh的疯魔程度折服了

相爱相杀 相怨相怜 这就是爱情啊故事告一段落，剑拔弩张的时刻结束，Richard Squard又挺过了一个考验，长出一口气准备跳进下一个大坑：）

百万码农心声这一集结尾的音乐选得也很有A格，后续查询后将会补充。

——————————————————————我们可以看到，这集没有更多tech的元素，而是展现了高科技行业的资本角逐。

Dinesh的演员曾经在一次Google的圆桌访谈中谈到，编剧总是会到硅谷的企业中搜索灵感，而他们发现自己无论怎么写都超越不了现实的疯狂，实际生活往往更加魔幻。

所以，据说码农们是并不怎么看IT剧的，正如医生不看医疗剧，律师不看律政剧一样，shitty things like that just always happen around them, like all the time.But don't be sad,再艰难的生活，总要找寻出路，就像Richard Squad；再不济，还有故事可安慰消遣：）祝大家看得开心。

今天看完了硅谷最后一季的最后一集，很感慨，意犹未尽，尽管看完还心存侥幸的搜索了一下第七季…我一直以为结局会是他们五个人一起把公司做大做强，Richard CEO，Jared COO，Gilfoyle CTO，Dinesh emmm副手吧，Erlich PR，后来的MonicaCFO…结果后来Erlich莫名其妙的消失了，pied pipper在即将全国推广之际，伙伴们即将变为梦想的富翁，Richard即将实现伟大理想之际，却宣布永久关停了…这真的是一个伟大而艰难的决定。

我以为他们后边会有东山再起，但没有…代入一下，之前伙伴们一起熬的夜，攻克的关卡，俘获的“人心”，无数个努力的日日夜夜，他们的青春，好像都化为了泡沫，我的话，真的会感觉好遗憾。

作为观众，真的很希望他们最后还能一起工作，毕竟一起走了那么远，他们彼此那么合拍，互相理解，虽然总会搞砸一些事情，但也都能转危为安…不过好在大家后来都有还算不错的归宿，我们不能以常人的眼光来看待，或许回想起当时的决定，他们会既骄傲又风轻云淡吧。

总好过最后一起入狱，哈哈哈哈。

最喜欢Gilfoyle了。

真的对非常聪明的人没有抵抗力，前期不觉得Gilfoyle帅，中后期发现他的幽默和绝顶聪明后，真的爱了，感觉他整个人都在发光，尤其有迪纳希的衬托后，猫眼真的好迷人，哈哈哈哈。

喵喵喵Richard，刻画的人物形象很立体，在他身上也看到了自己i人的一面，（但是我没有他的性感金头脑）有时候也会觉得他真的很逊，没有什么领导才能，但他确实做到了，主角光环，他总能转危为安。

Jared，呜呜呜，当在男性身上看到一些女性的特质的时候，还是会感到感动，他对Richard 的情感很独特，我也说不上来，可能和他小时候被遗弃有关，他给人的感觉很柔软，很细腻，有时候很想抱抱他。

Erlich，偶尔让你觉得他眼里只有利益，但是关键时候还是靠谱的。

Big Head真是傻人有傻福，哈哈哈哈。

他一直很善良。

Gavin Belson作为大反派也蛮搞笑的，哈哈哈哈，他和Richard在关键时候总能产生一些化学链接，推动剧情发展。

总之，人物方面大家都很真实，没有假清高，刚开始因为利益关系大家走到了一起，虽然也带了一点点情分；剧情方面，算是很通顺合理了，见识到了创业的艰辛，即便是最聪明的那一波人，还有商业运行的逻辑。

没有人是随随便便成功的。

唯一要吐槽的就是编剧确实是对中国人有偏见的，刻画的中国人形象都不好，杨建和埃德陈。

尤其是杨建的坏人形象刻画得过于刻意了。

很好奇laury最后为什么入狱了，猜测一下和blood money那个投资人脱不了关系。

她是很棒的女性形象，理性专业。

还有Erlich到底去哪里了？

一直以为他后边会再出现。

Jing Yang英语水平级别的小作文，自娱自乐，求轻拍... 文末有Jared写的信，摘自HBO官网I can't be Richard, an incredible technological visionary which is wanted in every century. He developed a music app in high school. What was I doing in high school? Well, I was sucking at mathmatics. He invented the genius compression algorithm and beat tech giant Hooli when I was busy wondering whether I should quit the tech industry due to the incapacity of getting used to my duty as product manager. I can't be Gilfoyle, the tech jenius who built a kick-ass server for Pied Piper, the one who saved everyone's ass by his brilliant brain. He's just not something I can become by working hard.I probably could be like Dinesh . But I don't want to be.It's hard for me to be Monica, an attractivive women who has great social skills, giving out this decent, charming and successful VC vibe all the time. She's not the kind of person I wanna be. She's too much like a textbook as a beautiful and intellectual woman in a high-class industry. Her smile is too standard, lacking a sense of vibrancy.Of course I don't wanna be Laurie, a robot-like lady. I'd rather hang out with the real robot Fiona than with her.So, the only one I can be and want to be is Jared, or Donald, his original name. With all the unbelievable difficulties he has encountered in his earlier life, he demonstrates an optimistic, spirited, selfless and caring characteristic that all be said through his gentle eyes and his warm actions.Anyone who has been loved by Jared would understand what true love is. He will stand with you even if the rest of the gang decides to abandon you. And he respects your will if you want him to leave. He will be honest with himself and you when you achieve huge success untethically by telling you success doesn't justify your action. He is firm about his values, only based on that does he fall in love with someone. He is dedicated to his job, winning everyone with the perfect professionality at work. He's an idealistic just like me, and I love that he also writes letters to himeself! Isn't that the cutest thing to do?As he says in his letter to his 40-year-old self, "Your life has been a checkered quilt, and some of its patches have been rougher than others. But whether a coarse swatch best forgotten or a velvet one to be cherished for all time, they have stitched together the man you’ve become. A man who sees adversity as opportunity, melancholy as but a brief minor key in life’s longer song." That is true. He's tougher than anyone I've known. His ability to love after all those shit happened to him is a gift from god.Jared, as you say to yourself, you are a star shooting across the Great Plains, a manta ray swimming in the sundrenched, shallow waters of the Caribbean, a single hair that raises on the back of a child’s neck after he hears his first violin solo.Your eyes are like the clear water of a lake warmed by sunshine in Spring. You remind me of my teddy bear, my best huggable friend in childhood. May you be free, be able to love and not be blinded by your affection, be needed and appreciated. 附1: Jared给自己的40岁的信It’s incredible how much life can be compressed into just a few dozen hours, isn’t it? Since I last posted, I have resigned, been fired from, and successfully rejoined Pied Piper. And while this whirlwind meant I used up my “tears budget” a bit earlier than usual this month, it also reminded me of how lucky I am to work for Richard Hendricks, a true technological visionary. In that forward-looking spirit, I thought I’d share my letter to my 40-year-old self. I revise this missive to the future each time I begin a new professional venture, but with any luck, I will have this job — and this letter — until the day I die. Enjoy, dear readers, and take care!Lordy, lordy, look who’s forty!Who would have thought Donald Dunn would make it to forty-years-old? After swimming through the piranha-infested waters of the Amazon, running with the bulls in Pamplona, finding love in Paris — and losing it in Malta —you’ve seen big things, DonaldYour life has been a checkered quilt, and some of its patches have been rougher than others. But whether a coarse swatch best forgotten or a velvet one to be cherished for all time, they have stitched together the man you’ve become. A man who sees adversity as opportunity, melancholy as but a brief minor key in life’s longer song. Not to mention, you threw one hell of a fortieth birthday bash on that yacht. Good on you, Donald!You can be hard on yourself, but it is the lofty bar you’ve set that makes you such an exemplary friend, spouse, and father. To think, you were worried about raising one little scamp, and now triplets! It seems the chemical traces in that shipping container all those years ago didn’t cause lasting medical damage, after all. Four is a nice round number for a brood, too, and you should be glad that you went with the maroon minivan. It was the right choice.Donald, you’ve kept so many of the promises you made to yourself. To give all of your heart, mind, and physical well being to each and every company to which you’ve pledged your faith. To treat each friendship like a hummingbird: vibrant, yet delicate. And, of course, to always wear your retainer at night to protect against stress-related grinding. Your teeth are the sparkling Christmas lights for your face, Donald, and they must shine year-round!You are a star shooting across the Great Plains, a manta ray swimming in the sundrenched, shallow waters of the Caribbean, a single hair that raises on the back of a child’s neck after he hears his first violin solo. Never forget that you are truly something, Donald. You are tougher than anyone I have ever met, but also a gentle soul that never ceases to give first, and ask questions later.Looking back on your life, you wish you could tell your younger self to relax, and sure, have that second glass of sparkling cider. Your soul has always been older than your body, and one day they’ll have a name for that condition. In the meantime, savor your youth and this, your fortieth birthday (give or take, depending on which of those certificates was actually legitimate). Next up: nifty fifty!You’re the best, Donald. Richard is proud of you.Love always,Jared附2: Jared写的 A Piper’s Last Song Dear readers, a COO never hopes to write a goodbye like this. I always thought Pied Piper would outlive me by centuries, lasting at least until Richard’s great-great granddaughter steps down as CEO when she, like King Edward VIII, finds true love. I have given over three dozen eulogies in my life and this one is the hardest yet. Watching our great company close its doors feels like how it must have felt to witness the papyrus scrolls in the Library of Alexandria slowly curl up among the flames. Richard’s vision was well on its way to changing the future of technology, but now all we have are charred remains and sweet memories.I want to take a moment to address those who are sharpening their pitchforks and pulling out their joke books to try to kick Richard while he’s down. I’ve read what some of you jerks have said on the internet and you ought to wash your mouths out with lighter fluid. It’s been the greatest gift of my life to watch Richard grow from a boy into a man, and a noble one at that. Richard was our Churchill, our Charlemagne, our Odysseus, and he tied himself to the mast as we all went mad with the Sirens’ songs echoing around us.I wonder if Richard remembers the night I knew our friendship would be eternal – it was truly one of the best nights of my life. Richard needed a place to stay, and he graciously offered to stay at my condo. I gave him my room, and then in the middle of the night, he kicked his sock foot out from under the covers. Luckily, I had I tiptoed into the room to refill the humidifier with the Brita, and I spotted his cold, lost little foot, and I tucked it back in. Because that’s all I could ever do– support our noble leader in the simplest, smallest way possible, knowing in my heart that it was making a difference. Now I must support him from afar as our company beaches itself on the shores of history.I wish the Academy would get back to me about screening the Pied Piper In Memoriam slideshow I’ve made for this year’s awards show. All I want is a little closure in a public forum – surely they understand that. I’ll miss walking in the doors at Pied Piper every morning, turning on the lights, giving the bullpen a quick Swiffer, and emptying all the recycle bins so the custodial staff wouldn’t strain their backs. I’ll miss turning on my laptop and checking my emails, and adding the party parrot reaction to all the previous night’s Slack messages, and writing this blog for you, dear readers. But most of all, I’ll miss working every day with the best and smartest people in the world. Pied Piper Forever.附3: Jared扮演者在采访中谈及第六季Jared的心理 （个人乱听译了一下）The Arc between Jared and Richard is kind of a I can't quit you I can't quit you. I'm going to try and quit you a million different ways. I'm gonna literally quit the company. I'm going to assault you. I'm going to wear sunglasses and be aloof. I'm gonna find somebody else. and none of it works. he keeps trying to create distance ultimately to protect Richard and the company from his own overwhelming sort of disorienting affection for them and it doesn't work. Jared和Richard的故事框架是那种“我无法放弃你，我尝试了所有方式想要放弃你，我试过辞掉工作，我试过攻击你，我试过戴上太阳镜对你冷脸相待，我试过去找别人，但我还是做不到”。

Jared一直在试图保持距离来让Richard和公司不会因为他无法自控的感情而受影响，然而还是没有奏效。

and so I think that was sort of the over-arching idea. and then I always like I know it's a half-hour comedy so I don't want to start talking about it like it's King Lear or something. but this is the thing that really made me interested about Jared's arc in this season. 所以这是我觉得他俩关系的一个整体的方向。

我也知道《硅谷》只是一个每集半小时的喜剧片，所以我也不想搞的和《李尔王》一样那么沉重和复杂，但这确实是让我对这一季Jared的叙事框架感兴趣的原因。

I think one of the difficult parts of loving another person is subjecting them to your own inadequacies and your own imperfections. and the ways in which you know you're limited and watching them have to deal with your mess and your broken parts and all that stuff. I think that's a very very very difficult thing to do and a lot of times when people talk about love stories it's like oh is that a deal breaker, is that a deal breaker in the other person? but I think equally difficult is just being like, this is the best I got, it's me. here I am. is it enough? I don't know. probably not. I found it sort of moving in a bizarro world way that Jared is having to learn how to subject the people he loves, namely Richard to his own imperfections and to accept that in order to love somebody you have to be willing to be inperfect next to them and in response to them. 因为我觉得爱一个人最难的一点是让对方受制于你自己的欠缺和不完美，你知道你是有不足的，然后你还要看着你爱的人去面对你的一团糟，你破碎的一部分……我觉得这是一个非常非常非常难的事情。

大部分时候，当人们谈论爱情故事，大家关心的是两方各自有什么“劝退”的特点，然而我认为同样重要的是，在爱情中给出自己能给的最好的一切，“这就是我，我把自己交给你了，这样够不够，好像还不够...” 一个与常规不一样的感人的地方是，Jared必须要学会如何让他爱的Richard受制于他的不足，然后也得学会去接受这一点：为了爱一个人，你愿意不完美地待在他身边和回应他。

（主持人问：为什么Jared会那么爱Richard？

） I think and I just get so insufferable when we're talking about Jared cause I would get so earnest talking about him. 我觉得一提到Jared我可能会变得招人烦了哈哈哈哈，因为我实在是太热忱于谈论他了。

I think with Jared, he was in this sort of grey world working at Hooli as Gavin Belson's henchmen. and then he saw Richard Hendricks come in with this idea that he was really passionate about and not take the big money. and I think for him, that was like, oh, it can be like this? It's like a whole new world became available. you know And I think he imprinted it on him like a duckling on a mother duck. It was just like, this is my guy. and he represents beyond just the charms of the individual. He represents a whole type of sort of idealistic, conviction, and passion and determination and so I think he loves him for all those reasons 我认为，Jared像Gavin Belson的仆从一样在Hooli工作，这是一个灰暗的世界。

然后，他看见了Richard带着这个想法闯了进来，而且他是那么有激情，拒绝了一笔巨款。

对于Jared而言，他意识到，原来还可以这样活着？

这是一个全新的世界的可能性。

我觉得他就像一个小鸭子找到妈妈一样信任了Richard，就好像“这是我的人”。

而且Richard代表的不仅仅是他作为个体的魅力，他还代表了一种理想主义、信念、激情和决心。

所以我认为，Jared爱Richard是出于所有这些原因。

想起第一季怎么看jared都不爽，觉得怎么会有一个那么厉害的人突然出现还无缘无故对男主这么好，一直觉得他是不是反派，但后面几季慢慢赢得我心，到这季才发现他是因为童年心理创伤才这样“变态”，anyway，他是最好的宝宝 看到男主从一个nerd，变成一个大老板，这个变化还是蛮神奇的 看richard发疯帅电脑那段真的蛮好笑最后我觉得是非常完美的而且适合这部剧基调的一个结局了，合理又不老套，也不是非常坏的结局。

作为一个观众看着一个公司从无到有，然后到巅峰，在最巅峰的时候消失，特别能感受到男主的心情，好像自己也参与了创业，这是花了多少心血在这里面，这承载了他的多少理想，这样的一个伟大的成果，最后被自己搞垮，需要自己关停，演讲那段看着男主欲言又止还是特别感慨的，为了人类为了道德，永远把自己的心血宝贝给关停，他绝对是“科德”最好代言人了。

可惜了，虽然特别想这部剧还有第七季第八季第九季…，但是到这里已经很好了，再继续写也可能会变得平平无奇，很高兴这一季是以always blue 结束，真的有一种跟着主角们一起创业了很多年的感觉，脑海一直回想他们成功解决问题了玩着这个游戏的开心的场景（泪目）虽然我也只用了差不多12天看完这部剧，当时某站试看了一集觉得很有趣，只是当下饭剧看，但是没想到后来有这么好，结局男主还是个行动笨蛋，jared还是那么善用比喻，gilfoyle和dinesh还是那么喜欢互损的两个老厚米，Monica还是那么爱抽烟，最好的五个人，就是还是很遗憾没有拍多几季把piedpiper做大做强，真的好喜欢这种成长型的电视剧，这部剧整体都非常好，当然最好是中间，第六季是要给前面几季划一个句号的一部，但是依然是内味儿，依然被感动，（哭哭）ps：我会一直想念我的宝贝jared的
