Mr Robot

Re: Mr Robot

Much of this episode was so surreal and subtle, as was Slater's vanishing act.

Crazy how we thought he was a real 2 episodes ago with no doubt, now they make you feel as nuts as Elliot

Also if Tyrell barged in my place threatening me I would've broken his jaw

BTW, his chick is nuts as well and he's wussed all the way down for her

Re: Mr Robot

First scene was super nostalgic. Brought me back to computer class.

Re: Mr Robot

Even the show's SEGA logo font was a clue. We just didn't know it.

Re: Mr Robot

I wonder how or if Slater will be used into next season?

Hopefully somehow. This role could be a career rejuvenator for him. He was superb.

And as far as the episode, I mean wow. How amazing is this show?

Re: Mr Robot

No doubt in my mind Malek at least gets a nod for an Emmy.

I think (hope?) he's as locked in as Spader is in "Blacklist"...

I don't see him signing up for a "one and done" on something that's this rejuvenating to his career...

On the OTHER hand:

This is the first show I can think of that I've had to completely and totally surrender myself to with regard to plot / foreshadowing / etc.

Every time I "think" I know what's going on, EVERYTHING goes in another direction...



Lastly:

The early scene between Spader and Malek in Elliot's apartment was stellar...

In a series full of stellar scenes / performances...

Her reaction in this scene was gold.

Re: Mr Robot

But I don't understand how we saw his dad interacting with others and they with him at a few junctures.

Re: Mr Robot

I assumed that was Elliott saying that stuff.

Could be.... but didn't they show dad in the van without Elliott when they were breaking into the mega facility?

Re: Mr Robot

Looks-wise could anyone be more perfectly cast as Elliot's sister?

That's true, definitely confusing. We'll have to remember that when something else comes up.

Yeah so when "Slater" is alone in the car with Swede-Tyrell, that was supposed to be Elliot?

Elliot is telling us the story. So we see things as Elliot sees them. You cannot trust what you see, hear, etc to be real. It appears that Elliot slides into the background and Mr Robot personality takes over. Elliot sees him as another person and watches/interacts as we would with Mr Robot, but those only take place in Elliot's head.

For the van, that was from Elliot's view, he was telling himself what to do. Mr Robot couldn't logically be in the facility with him, his brain couldn't rationalize that, so he was in the van and talking to him.

Yes, which I think the secrete is the hacking and maybe drug use.

As per that, it is hard to determine who/what is really happening. As his world made up reality is crushed, will be interesting to see if he recedes further or if he comes back to reality. Could also be only part of his reality is shattered and he is still not totally out ... getting feelings his sister may not be real. That ballet class was out of no where and now they are somewhat close?
