Good call. I like that it's not clear who it really is and can fit several characters.

John is the English version, but the French name Jacques actually translates to James, at least according to 3 Jacques I met in France while living there 2 years.

No Elliot says she's his sister, as more of a question than anything. She never confirms it. Either way they could have both been adopted and still be brother and sister. Edward Alderson, his mom, and young Elliot could all be imagined and not actually any real relation to him, nor to his past. We can't even be…

Haha. Definitely a great scene.

Guess we'll have to find out.

Figure it out. It's worth a chuckle.

I posted my theory on that a few weeks ago, never figured any of it out though.

That song she's humming is Frere Jacques. Which translates to "Are you sleeping, are you sleeping, brother James, brother James, ring the bell, ring the bell, ding ding dong, ding ding dong." Of course mine is the literal translation of the French, not the Americanized version of the same song. I've just recently…

Their first meeting scene at Allsafe could have been 2 years before all this went down. Through the entire show, we have never been given dates and times, other than when Elliot is doing research online and reading published stories. Hmmm…. that would be something worth researching, to try to formulate an actual…

I've been thinking a lot lately about the scenes where fSociety stickers and graffiti are all over the place. In the dream sequence they were on several walls at that drug den, and that turned out to be imaginary. Lots of clubs and other places shown have them as well, even early on before there was any supportive…

It's probably buried in a deep hole at Kiss and Fly…

It has to be Vera. Why introduce him, make him important, free him, and then not have him come back? I mean, how many times did he tell Elliot they were destined for each other? He never got his hug…

She was definitely pregnant. Which would make her like 8 years younger than Elliot. This to me is proof that they aren't, in fact, his family at all and maybe aren't even people he knows personally, but perhaps adopted out of sheer loneliness from someone else. There are many stories in abnormal psychology cases of…

Esmail specifically stated that the only narrator is Elliot and will be til the end. I think the shift is due to his success in their destruction. Is a dead enemy still an enemy? If he only knew about that last scene…

Maybe Elliot and Joanna are "they", the two witnesses prophesied in Revelations. FYI, I am not a theologian nor a biblical historian nor do I truly believe this prophesy is literal, but interesting to consider for a fictional television show nonetheless. It would be very relevant to the storylines, and could make for…

Totally! Are we sure that was Darlene on the scooter? I think it was Joanna personally. There's no reason it can't be her, and maybe she has been in his life for years and years. They are about the same age. Could he have been the father of her abandoned baby? That would be some shit. I know I'm always wrong, but give…

Email said that much of what Elliot experiences is fragmented in time as well as space. We can't always be sure his narration and experiences are chonological.

I watch every scene like 10 times on the first watch. If only I had more patience to watch it once and the go over it in detail later. At one point in that conversation there was a dude walking near them in the sidewalk yet never showed up in the background. I usually chalk that stuff up to "good enough" editing on…

Sad but true. We need to be able to sort by newest idea/insight instead.

Lots of good points. I have been dwelling on that made in China mask for while as well. That is really telling of his major association with the dark army, albeit without his own conscious knowledge. Angela being one of the other major dream sequence characters is interesting, but Tyrell was also at his computer…
