Right? Almost everything that most would typically consider reveals, at least in regard to Mr. Robot, have been guessed by a large portion of the audience. Yet, when the show confirms the popular audience speculation, it's done in such a satisfying, and often transformative way.
Aww. *starts sobbing*
This show, more than any other show I've watched, makes me question the role of me as a viewer. With Elliot's accusations that the viewer as a figment of his imagination knows more about what's happening to him than he does (which is partially true) throughout the season so far, yes. But especially after tonight's…
There's also a spoon in the FedEx logo—a neat little design pun.
Agree! As loathsome as Tyrell Wellick is, Martin Wallstrom plays him so well. I was too sick by the scene to note it, but last week after he murdered his boss's wife, his reaction was so adorably precious, shaking his hands in the air in disbelief at what he'd done. The character went from Patrick Bateman to…
WHAT!!???!!

Yes! And I loved how "Pictures of You" played over the MR. ROBOT title. Thus far we've gotten ominous music paying over it. The song itself isn't ominous, but in context the song is painfully sad.
I love every scene Gideon is in. He's never featured for very long, but the writers use him so effectively and economically. And Michael Gill plays the character so paternally, it's going to be heartbreaking when Angela and/or Elliot eventually disappoint him.
Just before I started the episode, I was thinking that I wanted to see a dud episode of this series just to see how this show fails.
I loved that moment, too. The smile on Elliot's face was bright and sweet. Shayla's precisely what he needed in his life. Which made it all the more devastating when he got back to his apartment building to find that Shayla had been abducted by the rapist drug supplier douchebag.
Part of the fun is the existential crisis into which the show thrusts the viewers.
"Su- sure. I eat lunch."
Yes! The shot composition is so provocative on this show, and it's worth mentioning with each episode.
Genevieve Buechner didn't really get to do much on The 100 as Fox. She had maybe just a couple lines in the first season, and she got to play a victim in Mount Weather in the second season, but she was never "a bitch." I thought what little she got to do on the series was pretty good.
It could be like the Hercules episode "For Those of You Just Joining Us" where the show flashes forward to 90s LA or Auckland or wherever to do a clipshow.
*chokes trying to mimic sound*
RIP hot, possibly hallucinatory, super helpful drug den junkie. The last thing she did was make out with a guy who looks like Rami Malek, and that's not a bad way to go.
