硅谷第六季

如果硬要给《硅谷》这部电视剧做个普通的happyending，我觉得到第五季结束是最好的，作为一个现代年轻人创业的励志故事，如果将一项事业划为五个阶段，最幸福的时刻也许就定格在第三个节点，毕竟回望过去而有所得，展望未来还有无限希望与可能。

实话说，如果只看S6的正片，即到第六集的结局，感觉是把过去几季的一贯套路又炒了一遍，当然也有不少优秀的搞笑段子，但单从故事的完整性来讲，这个作为结尾，甚至比上一季结局挖出了更大的坑。

而故事的真结局，以纪录片形式拍摄的第七集，绝对是为本剧划上了一个圆满的句号。而这集的精妙之处在于，它给出了两个结局，让观众选择。

（以下是正文，含剧透）

为什么这么说呢？首先我们先来看这部剧的核心——也就是Piedpiper。

从这部剧一开始，我就很诧异，为什么编剧选了这么名字作为Richard的公司名字，看完全片，才发现其实有可能当时已经隐约种下了结局的种子。

首先让我们看看这个名字，piedpiper，翻译成中文就是花衣魔笛手。这是一个源自德国的民间故事，讲得是一个村庄老鼠成灾，于是村人找来了魔笛手，他吹响魔笛，于是所有老鼠都跟随着他，离开了村庄（传说是集体跳进大海）。

但是，故事还未结束。由于村民背信弃义，不想支付给魔笛手报酬，所以得到了报复，村里所有的130个孩子都被魔笛手的笛声牵引，从此也消失匿迹。

故事结束。不知大伙发现没有，其实魔笛手的本来象征就不是一个善良的童话，而是饱受争议的角色。而这就引发了故事的第一个结局。

如果说故事中的村民，是因为私欲，导致了失去了未来（孩子），那么《硅谷》最后一集，richard们就是为了未来，而把老鼠放了回来，这是巧妙之处。因为在西方，很多人认为老鼠是死亡的象征，因为它们带来了瘟疫、疾病、饥饿。但本剧的编剧却精妙的把老鼠作为未来的双关象征，即老鼠和孩子（未来）是共同存在的。

当然，如果到了这里，肯定是大家都希望看到的，具有一定升华意义的happyending了，但是导演的野心更大，那就是richard最终丢失的优盘。

因为影片没有详细介绍，对优盘的去除，这里大胆做几点猜测：

第一个是当时编码并没有替换成功，有可能只替换成功了一部分代码。但是Ai还不够强大，但它已经感觉到危机，觉得可能不造成一些故障的假象，那么自己可能就面临被消灭的命运，所以就假装故障。因为当时 Bertram 的设定，明明是网络和蓝牙故障，而最终ai通过对故事的探索，引出了人们最讨厌的老鼠。于是，沉浸后的ai，通过多年努力，终于成功引导现实中的人偷走了自己的“完全体”。当然，听起来有点玄幻，但这也是科学界很多人支持的扮猪吃老虎，即第一批有自我意识并有能力威胁人类的ai，是绝对不会让人类感觉到威胁的存在的。

第二个是被Yang带走，剧中最终yang替换了埃利悉的角色，“独霸一方”。我个人认为，这个结局可能性很大，毕竟有过前车之鉴。而从剧目中可以看出，richard的代码丢失时间并不长，所以说，yang可能也是刚刚拿到代码，这也是为什么ai还没有对世界造成毁坏的原因。最终也看到，yang甚至动用了恐怖武力，所以说这个结局，细思极恐。，而且yang这个角色，似乎反映了很多编剧的个人倾向，至于具体细节，这里不做详解。

第三个是被身边的人拿走，个人觉得，意义不大。虽然现实上是有可能的。

但不管如何，我认为本剧的最终，可能是大家都不想看到的bad ending。为什么，因为richard并没有消灭piedpiper的所有代码，而是留着一个备份，而这也是私欲的一个显现。大伙都知道，一个影片bad ending最有可能发生的剧情，就是给罪恶和反派留最终残喘的机会，而剧中的richard显然这么做了。

最后，比较有意思的是，关于piepiper的民间故事，竟然还有一个happy ending的剧本，感兴趣的人可以去自行搜索。所以很多人谈起这个传说，都是有两个版本的结局。

而本剧最后一集，也恰恰塑造了两个结局，但和故事不同的是，隐藏在背后的那个，却并不圆满。

硅谷是我心中目前排名第二的美剧

（第一名火线the wire)

硅谷和火线，虽然风格完全不同，但都是对一个群体和一个社会的全景描绘，用众生相的形式，把每个角色塑造得光彩照人。

追了这么久的硅谷，刚开始当情景喜剧看，慢慢的发现——事情没那么简单

这个剧，能把互联网的那点事用巧妙的编剧和精彩的表演说得那么入木三分，是一部非常高级的喜剧。

在互联网时代，世界从来没有这样平过，任何新闻在互联网上都用不了一天就从南半球传到北半球，文化越来越趋同——中国网友竟然能全部get硅谷里的梗

因为我们的互联网行业一样经历着居民楼创业，浮夸风投，PPT创业，恶性竞争，并购。。。

硅谷里的互联网世界，不止在美国，在中国也一样发生着。所以他们的玩笑，我们感同身受。

硅谷后来几季的走向经常出乎我的意料，让我感叹编剧为什么这么能编，每一季我感觉 这真的编不下去了吧，要崩了吧，他又能给我绕回来。

我心服口服。

当我看到预告片里【本剧最后一集】提示的时候，我心想：

哈哈，终于还是编不下去了吧，再往下编技术再上一个等级就该让AI成精了

果然，技术成精了

a monster

他们亲手毁了它，我也跟着难过。

但又觉得很高兴，觉得故事本该如此。

这帮人骨子里都是非常善良的人。

不管再怎么损，他们有真正的友情。

创业过程再怎么波澜壮阔，最后还是失败的多。

PP死了，u盘消失了，互联网时刻隐藏着巨大的隐患，谁也不知道技术带来的是好事还是坏事。

但善良的人知道

技术不能用来作恶，不能让技术作恶。

谁敢说这样的结局不深刻呢

硅谷是一出互联网伦理剧。

刚看完第一集，本来以为上一季就是结局了，结尾真的很好，有了超级大的办公室。不过前几个月刚知道要出新的一季了，也是意外之喜，不过真的希望能有一个完美的收官。

互联网的大主题一直更新换代的挺快，私以为硅谷每一季切合得都挺好，上一季探讨了人工智能的可行性，这一季在第一集就抛出了互联网去中心化和用户隐私这两个关键点。

刚开始以为是要重现扎克伯格的听证会，机器人式的发言，同样探讨用户隐私安全……想起前一段时间这个恶搞的图，不得不承认Richard和扎克伯格这种窄长脸下垂眼薄唇的长相上还有点相似呢哈哈

没想到中间画风突变，Richard把话筒拿起来之后秒变发布会，大概是在说互联网创始人们在发言时一定要走来走去这个梗，就差一个ppt就是魔笛手产品发布会了。

这段发言也是很容易让我们互联网产品的日常使用者产生共情的，许多头部企业确实拥有了用户信息绝对的话语权，我们要使用便捷的产品，必须接受他们这样那样的条款，给这样那样的权限，让我们的个人信息处于一个并不十分安全的状态，但我们对此已经习以为常并且无法推翻。这种民主、去中心化的互联网正是许多互联网公司最近都在提倡的，是一个理想化的状态。而编剧可能也在试图在本季把魔笛手的模式往这方面去靠。

这一段发言放在第一集的开头，可能也是这个作用 ，第一探讨用户个人信息该如何使用，第二围绕去中心化的互联网该如何实现。

啊开头的动画我觉得应该又有很多细节了，目前发现阿里巴巴没了，惠普好像是新加的？这个我有空再多看几遍嘻嘻~

有没有大佬给解释下这里小天使管Richard叫King Slayer是什么梗哈哈哈难道因为在白宫的演讲非常slay？

接下来是一段密集笑点——我可真是太爱猫狗这一对了，Denish随时兴奋加聒噪真的好像一条傻狗哈哈哈哈哈哈哈（非贬义）

Gabe也许是继大头之后又一个灵魂搞笑人物hhhhhh出场就给我笑死！！

第一集开始埋了很多伏笔，比如jared小天使和Richard的感情线，小天使看Richard的眼神真是，充满炽热加委屈巴巴，可是Richard这个大猪蹄子！无所谓的态度！注定！接下来的剧情！要产生分歧！

真的好心疼小贾，从头到尾他是这群怪咖里最最正常理性的一个人，性格真的超级超级好，一直默默付出，这里问题就逐渐显现，在这样的以技术为核心的互联网公司规模发展起来之后，显然他负责的领域和他这个人都被边缘化，离核心越来越远。

他开始看心理医生，觉得自己不再被需要了，然后回到孵化器也许是想找找最初在小房子里创业的心情，对这里最有归属感。Jian Yang和大头也没有之前的拼劲，整个房子都充斥着无聊和颓废，直到最后他看到的那个深度近视的女孩，觉得自己有可能再次被需要。。。

第二个矛盾点就是关于和科林在用户信息这上面的分歧点，再次证明了互联网可以掌握的你的个人信息其实是非常令人害怕的，话说到昨天的PG One事件一个说法就是视频泄露于某音保存的草稿箱，所以这里说到的，你几乎能够挖到一个人所有的黑料，细思极恐，如果真的有人利用这些信息去做些什么，我们无法设想。

hooli这条线我也是暂时没看个明白，可能之后还会引发别的矛盾点，胡佛太可爱了哈哈哈，甚至我在想Richard的各种理想化在不断跟现实博弈的过程中是否他会成为下一个Gavin。

猫狗gabe三个人现在承包了整个剧80%的笑点，Denish和Gilfoyle两个人的相爱相杀已经很精彩了，现在多了一个憨憨gabe，随时带着可穿戴座椅往地上一扎，来一场相声表演。（有没有谁和我一样很想看AI Denish和AI Gilfoyle的对骂内容hhhh虽然充满了种族主义谩骂和黄图但是莫名觉得会很精彩）

正式进入看一集少一集啦，希望大家都能有一个好的结局，最后相亲相爱还是在一起嬉笑打闹，真的，我爱《硅谷》！

更新：关于king slayer，刚从朋友那里听到的说法，结合了发言里用到的1776年的梗，是因为理查德把谷歌亚马逊比作了乔治3，然后因为大家觉得理查德会打赢这场网络战争所以就说他是king slayer(因为谷歌那些网络巨头是king）

全剧的最后一集我争取来了校对的机会，深爱且追了五年的剧的结尾，一定要亲自校对才算给它一个完美的结局。当看到Richard在发布会上展示出Peter的照片时，却想不起来第二季就过世的他究竟干了什么，于是带着最后一集的感动回头重温，S06E07的前20分钟早在几个月前就看过了，但却一直不舍得把整集全部看完，今天终于还是完成了二刷，看着六个人再一次围坐在大桌子前玩起了always blue，感慨万千，眼角不禁湿润。

Gilfoyle和Dinesh这对永远不停互掐的冤家的友情才是最坚实的，Dinesh需要Gilfoyle的暗黑痛骂，Gilfoyle也对Dinesh的烦人陪伴乐在其中哈哈。

Richard最终走上了发布会的讲台，在经过这万分坎坷的六年后，最终能够见证他们的努力与成功，目睹他们艰难的抉择，感动万分，也无比骄傲。

Jared对Richard的真爱虽然一直未得到回应，我却也不免为之动容，真的真的很想让可怜又可爱的Jared得到他渴求的一切。

Monica作为六人中唯一，也基本上整部剧中女性角色的颜值担当，她的标志性笑容能让我一直看到最后，我已经非常满足了。结尾被国安局招安，去偷Richard的U盘也很真实了。

大头这个全剧中将全部幸运加之于一身的吉祥物般的人物，真是傻人有傻福的极致写照哈哈哈，这个没有丝毫存在感没有丝毫威胁感却异常可爱的家伙，真是太讨喜了。

最后还是心疼Richard，为了责任而放弃为之拼搏了六年的梦想，最终落魄到再次被Gavin f*cking Belson喂屎，而且唯一记录着一切辉煌的收藏也被偷走了......

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, Donald

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. 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。

屠龙的勇士最终放下了屠刀，避免宿命般的成为下一头恶龙。在我看来这就是piedpiper最好的结局。

现实世界中，所有那些曾经梦想改变世界，让世界变得更美好的公司，所谓的“成功”也不过是把自己变成了曾经憎恶的样子。

这个结局太过于美好，以至于只能在电视剧里看到。或许现实世界中也存在过，只不过他们的“失败”让我们感知不到他们，他们才是让这个世界变得更加美好的人。

整个故事的收尾是美剧里少数的佼佼者了，非常惊人又合乎情理，

魔笛手是一家伟大的公司，核心四人组，特别是瑞查德这个可爱的nerd总是能在关键时刻为了公司而破除危机，虽然他充满了缺陷，但却是非常感人的CEO精神。 同为一家科技公司的CEO感同身受，天底下最苦逼的职业之一，总是要为各种解决不完的来自四面八方的问题而忙碌，而又不得不经常做一切残忍的决定，不得已的选择。

最后因人工智能的不可控而同意摧毁自己6年来的苦心，并放弃了所有的财富，名誉，而挽救了全人类，真是非常的虐心，也是很残忍的结局。

敬这部伟大的科技美剧。
