Eddie's narration probably didn't need to be there, but it's becoming apparent that his voice certainly did. Every character besides Grandma has gotten significantly less nuanced this season.

Sexipies.

I bought this:

I'll just come out and say it. All White women in America owned slaves. Or they had slave timeshares. It's on everyone else to prove me wrong.

The dude could be stuttering. I mean, he's only trying to holler at her. It wouldn't really be catcalling at that point.

No, no. It's "most" part that completely undoes your statement.

Here's the best argument against him:

The scene where they go to get drugs for Elliott, and the dealer tells Mr. Robot that only Elliott can come in? The bartender that asks both of them what they're drinking? It's not all wrapped up with a nice bow.

The sales clerk could very easily have had all those feelings. There's just no way I can see that someone who in the midst of all the unrest, decides that he's going to sell some shoes today, also decides that he's going to pop off to the customer in the aforementioned situation. If he was going to go that far, he'd…

Elliott released a convicted killer from jail, witnessed a murder, found a second body, and then fled the scene without providing any more information to the police. Also threw himself off of a pier, threw himself out of a window, kissed his sister, took copious amounts of illegal narcotics…

From hacker drama to early Fox comedy. Hence me feeling that it was really out of line with the show's tone.

All this is true, but the amount of sketchy stuff they have to pull to make Mr. Robot be a figment of Elliot's imagination doesn't prevent any of that from also being viable.

SAT Math Question:

I'm guessing he's Elliott.

That's Tyrell walking towards them in the background as she says that, right? (He's gone once they jump back to that camera.) There's a lot of misdirection in that scene. The door to the neighbor's house opens up, and Elliott looks towards it. Nobody ever comes out.

That scene seemed really out of place for the show's tone to me. It was super heavy-handed. What kind of guy in a shoe store's ever got the spine to give THAT much lip to a customer?

I'm totally with you on this, and this is my main worry about this show. It feels like dude's going for the big trick, and he's going to flub the landing.

If there's a puppy furnace there, they're not at a pet *store*. They're at a pound or a PETA location. They just let the dogs go.
