Someone here mentioned, it was the Blue Screen of Death.

Someone here said it was a visual pun on Blue Screen of Death.

And a moment of silence for real Elliot whose gonna wake up to find out he has no job, did a stint in prison, prob got a drug addiction (or relapsed if he had one already) and lost his best friend.

Can’t find it right now, but last night someone posted a mash-up of Elliot under the Washington Township sign, right next to a nearly identical shot from Back to the Future (even the Kiwanis-style logos were identical.)

I’m aware that is what the show wants us to believe. Darlene provides Mr Robot with its ground or anchor. If it is to be internally consistent, however, it can’t have its cake (reality) and eat it too.

The what happened to Wellick reference is more about his last minutes where it appears he finds something that we aren’t shown. People were definitely expecting a payoff of some sort.

I very much took the final scene in the movie theater as not only the personalities ceding control, but as a merging into a finally complete Elliot. And the stream of images (memories) flooding the screen (mind’s eye) serving as a visual representation of that newfound mental oneness.

But we got to see Real Elliot’s eyeball! It was bloodshot!

I also wanted to quote that, but you did it for me, thanks.

Thank you Bud.

But that was not what I was really saying...or was it?

I hope he can remember it. Like the Mastermind could remember Darlene and what Edward did when prompted. The personalities can share memories if they try. And, of course, Darlene is there to remind him about what happened.

...and, since we’ve never really seen real-Elliot, was the morphine addiction from season 1 something that he was already dealing with, or was it something superhacker-Elliot started to be cool?

The season finale merely confirms why I could never buy into the show’s delusions of grandeour from the outset: we had no reason to believe that anything was ‘real’ in the first place, and that Mr Robot’s savior narrative/complex felt way too self-serving and/or pandering to our own neuroses.

I’ve said this at the end of each season, Alex, but once again, thank you for these pieces. They’re what I wish for most from reading reviews. They added to the experience, highlighted things I might’ve missed or provided context or trivia I might not have been aware of, and had an insightful point of view.

I’d say Real Elliot will remember all of it. All his personalities are part of him. They have no reason to hide anything now. Nothing in his mind is closed off anymore

I’m not sure how I feel about this although the final bits did bring me back from not liking it. Just because everything that happened in the series didn’t happen to the Real Eliot. He never knew anyone in Fsociety or met Shayla or went through any of many deaths and traumas that happened over the course of the

Supposedly a stuntman filled in when he wasn’t available, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out he just did a voice over for the whole season.

This show has been a massive checklist of fan service and in-jokes. The show zeroed in on one aspect of the OT and keeps riffing on it over and over.

Just one man's opinion
But I thought this was the strongest episode since House's Head/Wilson's Heart (and I liked that because it was the most intriguing mystery in a long while not due to the reactions to CB's untimely demise). For the first time ever I felt connected to the New Coke team and actually cared about
