Re: Mr Robot

....well that theory seems shot all to hell.

You can't really tell. Who knows what is real or not. He is living somewhere without a job. Is that his mom's house, who knows.

Interesting line when on the phone with Tyrrell. He says to Mr Robot I talk to you and he knows Mr Robot isn't really. Going back to Elliott is all 3 of them.

That doesn't explain the wife

Or the murder of the execs wife

Re: Mr Robot

Sam Esmail decided to not only be the creator / showrunner / writer of the show, but direct it this season as well...

Somewhat risky, because it's taken the show into a much more complex version of his vision...

Personally, I admire the artist who goes "all in" despite the potential commercial consequence...

That being said:

It would totally s*ck if that gets it cancelled...

Even last year the ratings weren't that good, lagging well behind the slumping ratings of fellow "USA Networker" Suits. It's on USA so I think it's pretty solid for a season 3 renewal.

It does though. It was Elliot doing it, but he saw himself as someone else. I think I mentioned this before, but when Elliot goes up to the girlfriend/wife/whatever she was with the kid, Elliot doesn't know her, but she doesn't act like she is just meeting him. She questions him to find out which personality he is then without asking his name.

Wait, you're saying nutjob Elliot has a hot wife and kid, and had a corporate job, but doesn't know it?

I don't know man

The woman seems a little crazy on her own.

As far as the corporate job, who knows what was real. He had the allsafe job, so he could move around at ecorp and maybe the other personality was his way of handling it.

The way the story is being told, we don't know what is going on. We know Elliott sees things, he also sees himself as other people doing things, etc. What is real and what is in Elliott's head?

I don't disagree about real not real, but I can't subscribe to that theory. Too many holes in that one.

Re: Mr Robot

Haven't seen the newest episode but based on the first few and how much I loved the first season, this is starting to look like Heroes. Im just not into it. Not for th same reason as Heroes, but I'll have to wait and see how the show picks up, or what we're even going towards. I fear the show I wanted to see ended when the first season did.

I will say though it's interesting the stuff theyre able to put out. The creator definitely isn't compromising his vision, whatever that vision may be. If you'll put a scene of a guy eating puked up Adderall pills its hard to guess what they wont show.

Re: Mr Robot

New episode isn't as gross or anything.

It explained a couple of things too.

Started off slow again IMO for its own reason i wont say (but they're going to have to really pick that up fast and stop doing that)

Was more like a set up show IMO, and one that took at least one step forward in the end.

I'm just glad to see Elliott on an fn computer.

I didn't like that scene because it seemed the forcing of wet cement down Elliot's throat in his unreality only to have it come up as vomit in his reality (as real as it gets for Elliot) wasn't particularly clever. I suppose it's another one of the writers' "deep, deep, mysteries" as to the correlation between the two, but I thought it was pretty lame.

Yeah, Elliot doing the hacking thing with his voice-over explanation was gold, but he's spent most of this season fighting off Christian Slater. I'm not getting into their battle, however profound it's supposed to be.

Yeah, I didn't see much advancement though.

Esmail seems content to dance around indefinitely and deliver an occasional haymaker which might be coming up soon. Angela's world has been the best thing about this season to date (IMO).

Re: Mr Robot

Yep man like i said they need to speed it up before they lose people.

The set up part i was speaking of is the very end which was a step forward even though it landed in the same place we were already at last season. Almost

Re: Mr Robot

So i guess things are moving forward now. Holy crap.


Edit: I love the final scene which was in a single shot with Dom as the focus. Crazy scene too. I wonder if her interactions in China led to that.

Being vague in case others haven't seen this week yet

Re: Mr Robot

Yeah, I would imagine that all of the people unhappy with the season so far were pretty stoked about this last episode.

Re: Mr Robot

This episode was hard core and better than all the others put together. Shocking scene in China.
