Halt and Catch Fire

I really enjoyed watching Cameron lose her company; she's absolutely awful and I'm fully #teamdonna. Also, wtf was Gordon thinking having that conversation with her at the party? "I've got to stand by my wife but before I do let me go behind her back and tell Cameron what she's doing"

 

I just caught up....wow this season has been the best IMO.

Next weeks 2 hour finale is gonna be great

 

I assume the shows status is still up in the air?

Seems like it could be a lot of cliff hangers for next season. Cam going to Japan, the stock in peril, ect.

 

Probably said before, but Lee Pace is just so good.

 

"Do you really think I would have invested in a company without doing a background check on all its key players?"

".......................So, you think of me as a key player, huh?"

Boz, you ol' smoothie you.

 

Renewed for a 4th and final season. Gald they get to finish the story

 

Yup that's awesome. Is it two episodes tomorrow to finish the season? Is that what I saw?

 

AMC

 

Yes, that is what you saw.

 

amcs great for letting them get an ending and four seasons

i didn't think it would get a second season to be honest

 

I missed the first 5 minutes. Started with Gordon and Donna in the bar.....what did I miss?

 

Nvm I get the time jump now

 

That was an excellent finale. This show is really fucking good

 

really really loved it, you can tell they might be rushing the ending a little bit to get the story told, but who gives a shit it's still great writing.

for two hours i was all THEY ARE GETTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER, only for cameron to ice her. fucking loved it

 

I hope I don't sound like an idiot, but what are they building...a web browser like internet explorer?

comments from the showrunners, cool bit i saw

 

Yes, but more like AOL when you needed a subscription to access the internet.

 

The Internet itself.

Joe isn't playing the role of Steve Jobs; he's Al Gore.

 

But the internet already existed didn't it?

 

Greenwald interviews the showrunners on The Watch pod.

Just uploaded.

 

Yes, technically speaking (ARPANET was really the "first" version of what would become the Internet iirc). But what the consumer class came to call "the Internet" was really a conglomeration of the different networks Joe and Ryan are discussing in this show.

Basically, what Joe and Ryan are doing is "discovering" the potential and possibilities of what would eventually be known as "the Internet." The term was already coined (in real life) by the time period of the show, but it would have only been used by tech nerds in the industry, not by the general public, and certainly not in any marketable way.

 

The basketball game on Joe's TV in the NIM episode last night is Illini vs. Michigan or Iowa. Definitely from Assembly Hall in Champaign Very cool

 

I'm through episode 7 and I can't decide who's the bigger dumbass: Cam or Ryan.

"I am that good!"

Pffffffft.

 

been listening to this all week

 

The soundtrack is fire.

 

information superhighway was used in some old mci commercials



then this masterpiece

 

Just watched ep. 8. Ryan's letter was a nice little commentary on cyberbullying, eh.

 

Not sure if you were just being nostalgic or trying to refute what I said, but you know those are almost a decade after the time period we're in with Halt and Catch Fire, if it's the latter.

 

nostalgic. I was in tech sales in the early 90s selling into novell, IBM, and Unix environments.

 

Boy knife means dick.

 

Season 4 premiere date - August 19

 

hell yes

final season, correct?

 

rewatching the first 3 seasons in anticipation

 

had the same thought when i saw an ad yesterday. will just be streaming it sundays or mondays i guess

 

Starts in like 40 minutes. Got Independence day on AMC and just saw the notification.

 

Joe with a brand new look

 

One of the best shows on TV. Really liked the first 2 episodes.

 

Watched last night. Really good start. Excited to have this one back

 

Great first two episodes, though makes me cringe Gordon couldn't make it work with Donna. She's

 

Watched Ep1 this weekend and was impressed. Solid start and my girl Donna is a boss which I like

 

that dinner donna had w/ her subordinates was so awkward

 

Donna is such a bitch but so hot

 

Was there not a a new episode this weekend?

 

There was
