Thank you! Leaves out plenty of detail. Which is good :)

I went looking for it, couldn't find it. I'd love the link if you can grab it. Does it talk about Elliot's dissociation problems?

Thanks for that, I didn't realize.

Loved the episode, can't wait for Elliot and Ghost Dad to have a talk.

Could be. I wonder if he's wearing the same goddamn blue-checked flannel shirt in every episode or not. Seems like he's otherwise always shown in the same clothes, which does not bode well for his physical existence… or else makes him extremely stinky by now.

Heh. My first thought though was the make-up reminded me of the big masterminds in the movie "Hackers", who were these glammed-up, femmed-out underground celebrities… which itself was a weird kind of acknowledgement that a lot of transgender women are seriously skilled with computers…

+1 for Situationist shout-out

I was just disappointed that she showed up on the roof. At first.

I was thinking a straight B myself, although both Angela and Wellick had moments that were riveting. Something about Wellick's anti-homophobia moment didn't work for me—just made him seem childish.

Thank you! Glad to know what to expect w/r/t expected series length.

How long is this show meant to be? I know Esmail said he has a definite end in mind. I'm just wondering if the story is supposed to play out over 2 or 3 or …? seasons. Elliot doesn't seem like a Tragic Hero the way Walter White was… (yer thing about "fatal flaw" got me thinking…)

So far we've got shout-outs or callbacks to Fight Club, American Psycho, Breaking Bad, maybe some Michael Clayton…

Or like she was giving out candy.

Angela gave Terry an odd little smile when she saw his ankle alarm. The colossal prick didn't even recognize her.

She's like the manic pixie dream girl crossed with Amy Winehouse… I'm continuing to be fascinated by Elliot's attempts to save the women in his world, and how they keep blowing up in his face. Especially given the fact (?) of his abusive mother. It's scratching that part of my mind…

Anyway though, the thing I was trying to say wasn't really about Darlene vs Angela or which ep has him "a month old"—you're right, it's Angela in the withdrawal dream in ep 4—it's that we still don't know what landed him in (presumably a court-enforced) therapy in the first place, and I'm thinking it's related somehow…

Hm. I remembered it as Darlene in the arcade, but will re-watch and note…

People have said so. But he seems to live in a really nice home if he is.

Still waiting to see who is real and who is just in Elliot's head… Pretty sure Christian Slater's not real. I re-watched the pilot and part of 1.1 (I love how the episode numbering starts at 1.0, as any coder might expect) after finishing all the eps so far. What I noticed was that the only person Mr. Robot had…

Had his head up his ass. Decided acting was for pansies and left Hollywood to box and get his pretty face smashed in.
