Silicon Valley season 4 episode 8 spoilers: The tale of Keenan Feldspar

is Keenan Feldspar on Silicon Valley? You’ve gotten a small sense of the character (played by Haley Joel Osment) already, but the role will start to expand more and more outward over the coming weeks. This includes “The Keenan Vortex” airing next week — the fact that the entire hour is named after him should give you a pretty good sense as to where things are going to be going in the immediate future.

The synopsis below gives you a small sense of how he will be included, and let’s just say that the stories of Richard and Erlich are bout to come closer together.

Silicon Valley season 4 episode 8 synopsis – “Richard ponders a deal with the tech world’s latest “it” boy; Jack faces setbacks.”

With Keenan, one of the big questions to wonder here is one about whether or not Keenan could end up being the new focal point of the series, and a potential replacement even for TJ Miller’s character down the line. The majority of the season the rest of the way is going to be defined in part by the decision for Miller to exit the series, and some of the final three episodes will be based on part on watching that play out.

Beyond that, seeing if Jack can maintain any foothold over Gavin’s old company should prove interesting in itself; he’s done a good job getting that power, but as we’ve seen already, this is not necessarily a guy known for superior risk-taking. He’s far more likely to play things safe while plotting his next move.
