Yup, this.

One possibility is that the server room and Darlene’s return triggered something in Elliot (not sure which Elliot) which kicked-off the Fsociety plan.

Thinking back over the past few weeks, I kindof wish that Whiterose’s death had had a bit more uncertainty or desperation to it.

It’s weird, because when we meet our Elliot he has no memories of what’s going on.

Right after that things shift into full-on dreammode on Coney Island, so I’m not sure that there is a correct answer, but I’m going to choose to believe that his id was an Fsociety mask.

It might only be a year, or a year and a bit? The show ends around Christmas, so in-universe 5/9 wasn’t all that long ago. Maybe it goes back to when Elliott started with Krista, about a year before the show started?

...and, since we’ve never really seen real-Elliot, was the morphine addiction from season 1 something that he was already dealing with, or was it something superhacker-Elliot started to be cool?

Great finale, and great final string of episodes.

The final scene marked the long-awaited (by me) return of the Mr. Robot theme!

I got the sense that this version of Tyrell (brooding hoodie Tyrell) is aware of the parallel world thing.

I think it’s more complicated than that, because when he kills the gamewarden Adrian says that he knew he had to wait 8 years. And there are also 8 candles on his final birthday cake.

It’s one of the reasons that Masculin Féminin really doesn’t work for me. I just don’t find that Chantal Goya is anything more than an object for Léaud.

Anyone else a little bit confused about the timing of the spacetravel?

In the grand tradition of claiming that such-and-such goes against the comic, I do think that Karnack being full of Vietnamese refugees is a little different from the 3 helpers that we always saw in the comics?

I get that Godard was mostly being a dirty old man, but Karina had so much presence that she makes the movies feel progressive, even when they’re kindof not.

Everytime this show goes to someplace that we’re familiar with - the corridors of an alliance ship, the cantina - there’s a real uncanny valley for me. The costumes, sets, etc. all look great, but the way it’s shot still feels very tv-ish.

The show has a need to treat Susie like a kid - we saw it this season with the swimming, and last season with the camp councilors. And it works fine as a source of some gags, but after 3 seasons (and the “what did you do? Oh...” in the last scene) it feels unfortunate.

Personally, I really dislike it. And I disliked it enough that the first time I watched it, midway through I stopped to google “Haywire ADR” and discovered that I wasn’t the only one.

It’s just such a noticeable gap, because you’re right that otherwise she is her own character with a great story.

Sexless Suzie does seem to be a pretty unfair treatment of that character. It’s possible that the character is actually asexual, but it’s more likely that the character is just being used as a prop and so she doesn’t get an internal life of her own.
