Mr. Robot - Page 5

I really like the attention to hacker detail in season 1, but this whole insanity thing is kinda lame imo. I'd rather it just be like a dark version of Silicon Valley, whereby they consult with real programmers and such to make a realistic show without all the sensationalism.

The first episode of season 1 was amazing, but it went downhill from there.

Show is really good in some areas and really terrible in some areas, I like it but its not great.

Positives: Well-directed, well-acted, good premise.

Negatives: Writing/dialogue is iffy, show tries to be too smart for it's own good, has some ridiculous stuff going on.

Parts like when Darlene needs to open that safe and looks at the dude's certificate and magically knows the code is his graduation date just make me angry, it's so lazy.

All in all, page-turner of a show, I binge-watched the whole thing to this point this weekend. Thanks for the thread.

yup. in prison. the black dude + the basketball game gave it away.

We re both wrong at this point, its not a delusional world, its the real one.

? that's what i was saying.. he's really in prison.

edit: and we had the same idea because you said he might really be in a mental institution.

Yeah i had not watched the end of the episode.
Many things didn't make sense for him to be in a prison, like occasional women, the black TOR site guy would have to be a guard/warden and everything related to that.
What is he in for? Sure as hell not the hack, otherwise his sister and Angela would've been in prison as well.

I guess the occasional plot holes were fine so it was still a bit of a plot twist.

are we the only people watching this? lol

This was decent:

lol ok overreaction, I definitely dont think the show is representing anything deeper than what we see; elliot has multiple personality disorder.

^ relax. it's just a tv show. enjoy it.

What are you talking about Saibot ? A pattern of action is plenty of evidence to formulate a theory. In the end lucky was right.
I like to actually use my brain when im watching a show, I wanna know where the characters are going, how will they develope and why are they doing what they are doing. Thats why i rarely watch any these days, if i wanted to watch braindead shows I'd still watch The Walking Dead or some crap like that.
I do not feel the need to just watch and not think about a thing, in fact it bores me to death.
And nobody is like " oooh we knew" , we were just discussing it and what the holes in the theory was. I couldnt give less fucks about impressing someone on the internet of how " smart " and " sharp " I am.

Guess i need to chill too now

There's a lot to appreciate in Season 2. A lot of artistic and directorial moments where it's almost humorous. The staircase lighting up while Elliot is on adderall was one of the most creative ways to convey that type of high that I've ever seen on tv.

Another thing I really enjoyed is the way they casted Craig Robinson, a tradtionally comedic actor for such a dangerous, violent and dark role. It really played on our perceptions of actors (like scarlett johansan's voice in her, and Carie ann moss in momento).

The only problem with S2 really is that it's on traditional tv and not available for binging on netflix.

Fucking witchcraft. I say we hang him

i wish season 2 ends with something spectacular, leaving us with something to look forward to for s3. most of the episodes this season are slow and just ok.

They are setting something up considering the main character did not appear once in this episode

Sigh I really wish netflix owned mr robot
This show really would benefit from being bingable

this show and halt & catch fire

Last episode makes me want to question everything about the plot up to now tbh, at the end of the series he might wake up in a mental institution or as a completely different person that doesnt remember anything or whatever plot twist they could come up with ( which will prob be much better than my guesses here ) and get away with it. They set everything up so nicely, really good series.

yeah. i'm guessing that he could end up becoming mr. robot. and mr. robot was actually waiting for the right time all along. he clearly had ulterior motives when he started becoming nice with elliot.

that would set to start stage 2.
