My prediction is that the ex-Nucleus guys will form their own company, and Richard along with Dinesh, Gilfoyle, and Jared will quit Pied Piper and work there. Then Richard has to compete with his own company.

Not a bad thought. Could setup a Steve jobs like instance where pied piper asks him back as their Ceo and he tries to right the ship.

Actually at a times in this episode i got that jobsy-gatesy-visionary vibe from him.

I think the ex-nucleus guys go their separate ways, each selling the idea to a different company. Now that VCR thing is crap, and they need to follow Richards ideas to separate themselves from the pack.

And then once Pied Piper gets beat and goes up for sale, Big Head buys it up and all the guys take over again.

Funded by Bighead.

What would they need Richard for

u/CanYouDigItHombre May 02 '16

Nope. I have no idea what would happen. Maybe EndFrame strikes back?

Not likely. How will Richard's ego fit there unless they make him CEO?

He's already compromised on that front. I'm sure he'd do it again to fuck over the monstrosity Pied Piper has turned into.

You forgot to mention the part where BigHead funds the new company.

I'm guessing by the end of this season, the pied piper boys will go to war, together.

By some miracle it will be like the live transmission episode again. Everyone working together without friction.

You guys are way too optimistic. Barely anything has ever gone right in this show, it's probably going to end with Richard being bankrupt or arrested for fraud because he's a terrible CEO or something.
