Yeah, I think a lot of the American settlers just weren't all that creative, and there were so many places to be renamed (since just keeping the indigenous names was apparently not always palatable, I dunno). Slash it's not like they were all keeping track of what everyone was naming things in the next territory over.

I just can't think of any evidence for this?

Don't look up Springfield, then.

So, I read all the comments here and never said a word this week (I am sadly getting even more disinterested in the theorizing most people seem to be into, so there's not always a lot to say), but I decided to come back and change that.

At the end of the scene they all start laughing and brush it off as a joke; no indication is given that he disabused them of that idea.

I was tracking the dialogue very closely in those scenes for this reason and as I recall, it works fine if you believe Mr. Robot is Elliot talking back to them instead of a guy in the car with them.

He didn't actually fire them.

God, yes. This became evident a few episodes back and I am already at the point where if I never read the words "Fight Club" ever again it will be too soon.

It depends. The two languages are mutually intelligible, but people who live near the border unsurprisingly do much better at it than others, from what I've read. I used to have a Danish roommate whose best friend was Norwegian, and they would talk to each other in both, switching back and forth as they felt like it.…

I just rewatched the scene and I'm…not sure that's actually happening? His eyes do keep flicking aside but I'm not sure they ever actually make eye contact with the camera. I would love for it to be true but I'm not sure it is.

I'm half-sincerely waiting for someone to try to use it and for slippery shenanigans to ensue because it'll be all greased up.

Mr. Robot said, when they walked into Elliot's old room, "I know I brought you back to Township but [yada yada]."

Nothing to fear, it's only desire

yes because that wasn't what happened

I'm not, but I have special circumstances (from what I can tell).

My favorite thing about that is that if you actually consider the lyrics, the song has absolutely nothing to do with friendship.

I think you mean Tenderoni.

Wain confirmed it in his AMA.

Is it, though? Is it?

Also, their faces when singing it! Both Josh Charles and Rich Sommers looked completely, innocently ecstatic. It's one of my favorite visual moments of the whole series. (I have watched this musical sequence so many times over that I can't count.)
