Halt and Catch Fire 2.02

New Coke

- Joe takes a job working for Sara's father; Joe's expectation is that he will be starting at the top but Mr. Wheeler (James Cromwell) has other plans for him; he winds up in the basement working on a project to digitize the company's records; his new coworkers have no idea who his girlfriend is and he does nothing to illuminate them
- Gordon grows bored at home; goes to see the doctor and learns that the nose bleed may be due his cocaine habit that he developed when he was still working at Cardiff; he claims that he doesn't have a habit; he also starts playing some of Mutiny's games, discovers some bugs, and starts proposing solutions
- Boz winds up being the butt of a number of practical jokes; he doesn't feel at home at Mutiny and lets Cameron know that he is going to need some time
- Cameron and Donna try to secure some VC capital and track down a hacker who has broken into their mainframe and found ways to do things that they didn't even know were possible; they don't make any  progress on the VC funding front but after a couple confrontations with the hacker they wind up hiring the him; Donna and Cameron's working relationship seems to backslide a little bit as they don't do a very good job of communicating with one another but in the end they still seem to be on speaking terms

- still loving it, this show that is; I was never into computers the way that the people on this show are but the fact that I was using some of these machines and learning about them at the same time that the show takes places gives it some special meaning to me
- it doesn't hurt that I am impressed with all the main characters and enjoy seeing their stories unfold
