I considered the prison theory also (because I saw someone talking about it in the first episodes commentary and it made sense), and I had also another theory that the prison-like feature of the setting were very deliberate (as they actually were), but that they could signify or reinforce the idea that the prison is

that's actually a very accurately clever scenario that the former Greek minister of economy Yannis Varoufakis thought implemanting as a way to transition out of the euro, he thought he could implement an electronic money in form of IOUs, reprogram all the system dealing with taxes and such, and have a temporary "new

you can go back a few weeks and read the commentaries to know what's what.

challenging? come on. It's really good, yes. It's good and smart hollywood-style entertainment, with no doubts a lot of artistic qualities.
still far from being obscure, ultra-cryptic, or in any way challenging.
Watching "Hard to be a god" (Aleksey German), is challenging (and rewarding, seriously, it's good). (or

at this point it's not exactly clear if Ray is a guard, how he gives access to his site to other inmates, did the hack and the beating happened inside the prison? also did the FBI actually raided a prison?

Apart from the wonderful episode, I really enjoy how the show willingly plays with the "you don't want to think to much about the fact they're anthropomorphic animals and the implication it has" thing, by creating situations that force us to think about it and are absolutely absurd. You had the chicken as food and as

he's the one that actually did all the work on this hack. He planned the technical side of the attack and made the scripts.

season 1, he's the guy who gives the douchey boyfriend the cd she herself put in the allsafe computer later. Also he spies on them. so maybe some hard feelings.

I'm about 30 and alf was on tv when I was a kid. they probably had a lot of reruns.

this isn't "look at the plothole", this is "look at how the most trusted criminal institution's security is weak"

the problem is mostly there is probably a very strong security at the ENTRANCE of the building,with badge, ID check and everything. This is why they need Angela in the first place. getting to the FBI floor was the easiest part if you got access inside.

I think the point is to show those big institutions represent only the illusion of strong security and expertise, and in reality, despite the harsh security measures they plead to take they are vulnerable to the point of being ridiculous if you know where to look (Dom points it out several times since the beginning of

but apparently they also need the wifi up and running on the machine, So Darlene probably connects directly to it?

yes those are valid points, I wondered why they didn't made a script too and forced angela to learn three commands. As for the switch hanging on the floor and the security measures being very lax, this is a temporary installation so nobody really took care of security, and well, the fact that computer security is poor

thank you, I would have lived my whole life without knowing who Josh Groban is without you.

we don't know from the shots if can see her screen or if she's coming from another angle. but yeah if she sees a kali distro running with a terminal opened in a corporate office she certainly will find this very suspicious. that's the catch.
Also i like how they show the real struggle of someone not used to using a

Wow I was never hooked by a cliffhanger like this; All I want to know is "did she type 'wlan1 up'+ENTER before Dom could see it?".
very good episode overall (was wondering if they were gonna do a whole episode in the 80s fiction, but maybe it was too much)

as I said in another post, I haven't seen any subvertion of any trope whatsoever in the show, and I find it to be its big weakness. It's like they're aware of the tropes they're using (as we all are) and they're doing absolutely nothing with this awareness, they play these cliches to death (and kinda get away with it
