I've been watching too much Mr. Robot; it took me quite a while to figure out that Trey was actually in the Holdens' house, not a hallucination.

That line from Teddy just destroyed me. It made me imagine how awful it must feel from his perspective - he's so suspicious and jealous and locked into the fear that Daniel will "steal" Tawney that he can't let himself take anything she says at face value. He must feel like she's gaslighting him. Although really it's

Elliot's not real — he's just Darlene's alter ego

This NPR story on family-owned conglomerates in South Korea that aired yesterday made me think immediately of Mr. Robot: http://www.npr.org/2015/07/…

TOO SOON.

My thoughts: "Well she's been in the trunk all day but we didn't hear her make any noise in earlier scenes so they must've drugged her, right? Yeah, she's fine, she's just sleeping."

Give Rami Malek ALL THE EMMYS.

The explanation was how to earn $91 an hour working from home so you can buy a new car just like the poster's aunt. Until I saw the bank draft I didn't believe it!

I, for one, will DEFINITELY be quoting that at the earliest opportunity.

Luckily, we have one of the Scream writers here to fill us in on their creative process!

I just want a miniature clone* of Breeda Wool to carry around so she can react to things for me. Her face in that interview with Grace and Anna! Perfect.

Call me a crackpot if you will, but I simply hate it when they have the dancers yell during their performances. Two reasons: 1) it gives me an unwelcome flashback to that long-ago failed experiment when they had all the dancers perform the same solo, arbitrary scream included, and we were forced to sit through the

Upvoted for "sentient cloud of Axe Body Spray."

For the first time, I'm grateful Mary isn't a judge this year. I think after that cha cha we would have seen the first live, televised murder - and even though Nigel has given us a post-racial America (and Lady Gaga!) I don't think we're quite ready for that.

I dunno man, I might try walking into the bank and see if I can cash them. "No no, 'Past Due' is my name. Honest. This is a… European check. Yeah. That's how they write them over there." Worth a try!

The tragedy of Tawney and Teddy is that they're calibrated to diametrically opposite emotional scales. Each hears the opposite of what the other intends to say; as one is softening and stepping forward, the other is pulling back and closing off. Just 100% not suited too each other.

During that scene I was balanced exactly between bursting into tears at Amantha's monologue (stellar work by Abigail Spencer) and bursting out laughing at the nonplussed faces of her fellow trainees. Perfectly played by all.

I thought they were insurance bills but maybe I need to rewatch? They didn't look like checks to me.

I only recently inhaled all of Utopia in three or four great, paranoid gulps - loved every second and the music especially. I've been thinking of buying the soundtrack but I'm also afraid that listening to it might make me too anxious to function. Might need to give it a few more months…
