Phase 2 reveal was kind of underwhelming. Mostly because it was the Phase 1 plan all over again—blow up the building with the backups, and Elliot arguing with Mr. Robot about it. I don't care that it wasn't a great reveal, except that it was built up as if it was this unimaginable thing, when really it's like "well,…

no, DA was there, but they only had a couple asian dudes and Cisco

I've been relatively vocal on these boards about how I think breadcrumb "tune in next week" television is really corny and hackneyed. It's a (somewhat anachronistic) feature of a medium that—if slavishly adhered to—unavoidably detracts from the product as a whole. The difference between reading a graphic novel and…

I bought this season on amazon week 2, and now kind of regret it. It's the only season of a television show I own and probably didn't even enjoy all that much.

If the guy who invented the cure was working for Shkreli, and paid by Shkreli, he's more or less right. As right as Steve Jobs is for claiming *any* responsibility for anything Apple made, ever

I honestly want to like Shkreli. Before he did everything in his power to become a d-list WWE villain, there was a sympathetic story there.

I was worried they'd lose something by going a little less guitar rock, a little less Wrens-influence, but the album is great. Lose maybe has higher peaks (Jackson is a song I can repeat for hours), but this is way more consistent.

I'd even take the near out of that. She was straight up carried

Look, I hate Jimmy Fallon more than anyone, but at least I hate him for the right reason: because he's reminds me of the jock class clown that everyone liked more than me. If that's why you're upset, you're right, and you get a pass.

This is true of lots of former nerds, and we are still expected to develop the same emotional maturity as anyone else

He's a comedian, and while I think everything he fired back with is fair play, don't be such a goddamn pussy about it

"I want to enjoy the ride, not just the destination, and I don't want to be continually told we're getting there "soon" like I'm a five-year-old kid on a family holiday."

Look, I agree with you, I'm brilliant. Unrelatedly, I'm also ok with pretension—i like all the Elliot monologues—but this was kind of a hodgepodge. References on references and weirdness doesn't make something intellectual. I wouldn't call American Horror Story pretentious

Here's the reason why the Angela/WR scene goes completely off the rails for me: the surrealistic flourishes work because they are contrasted against what has been, to this point, a recognizable, believable world. There are stylistic flourishes, but the surrealism has been constrained to a schizophrenic character(and…

I don't need to know how to build a fucking road to know when i've hit a pot hole

This episode sucked. Especially as the penultimate episode of the season. I know a lot of people were probably really excited about Angela meeting White Rose, but it was too much of a cartoon super-villain moment for me. All the completely unnecessary villain style choices. A floppy disk computer test? This show has…

not leaving any tip is some trashy shit though, and I hope any woman would call a guy out for that

Yes: if you aren't producing original research, shut the fuck up. That's what i tell to all kids who think they have opinions, and also my GF and family

and here Cisco stayed in one place as to *not* anger the DA, and he still probably got killed.

I bet the Dark Army IS better, because they're fictional, so you just take TAO and be like, well Dark Army is 5 points better
