Don't rule out a continuity error. This is a very ambitious show made on a very tight schedule made by very real humans. There will be mistakes.

It's been established that Elliot's conflict with his father his driven by Elliot's father's decision to not go after E-Corp after the accident. Given that Mr. Robot is driven a monomaniacal desire to take down E-Corp, I don't find this theory plausible. The implication is that Elliot's father was nice and…

Hi, troll. I'm curious where you're coming from. You're not a liberal, I get that. Are you under the impression that liberals support Islamic misogyny and homophobia? Because that's absurd.

I dunno, maybe not. If I were a network executive, I would do it, because I think I could draw good ratings in two time slots, and history tells me that spoilers don't hurt Primetime ratings. In fact in the current social media environment, I'd wager they help.

People would read about Olympic results at work and the Primetime broadcasts would still pull great numbers. Also, if people are reading that the wedding was great drama, they'll want to tune in to see it for themselves. And let's not forget that if something interesting is on, people will watch TV in the morning,…

I thought it was great and have no problem defending it. It's got thrilling cinematography, exceptional performances, and a script that might be a little full of hot air, but has interesting pretensions, nonetheless. Not the best film of the year, but Best Picture winners rarely are. It's a better movie than Argo by a…

I dunno, your complaints of racism do seem overblown. Grace and Shamiqua aren't fully developed characters, but that doesn't mean the show is racist. It just means that not all the side characters were fully developed. The show did have sizable parts for the two non-Rachel producers, who were not thin racist…

I don't think it's unreasonable that it was broadcast live in a Today Show type timeslot, and re-aired in primetime, with a bunch of a "You won't believe what happened at the Everlasting Wedding!" promos guaranteeing a good rating.

She was the smart one. She looks great in her runaway bride speech. If she was to skewer the producers, they just cut her mic, and she comes off looking bad. The producers just get Adam's heartbroken reaction instead, and he becomes the sympathetic figure.

This wasn't a flawless show, in my estimation, but damn was this an impressive finale. I love that the show's best, realest, relationship, between Rachel and Quinn, is the one that gets foregrounded this episode. It was very appropriate, and the idea that the primary conflict next season is going to be between Quinn…

It's silly to say things like, if DC was conservative, the Dems wouldn't want to give them a vote. You're just ignoring the realities of the political environment in an effort to seem fair. Conservative policymakers, in an effort to hold on to power, have been supporting anti-democratic voting policies since…

Sports aren't going anywhere. The enduring appeal of athletic competition has been a constant of human history. The only thing thee changing media landscape is going do is transfer profits from ESPN and the networks to the leagues, as is evidenced by growing rights fees and the rise of league owned, mostly app based…

Yeah, it's a sitcom with unprofessional actors.

I don't read a lot of music criticism, so lemme know what I get wrong. Rockism is kind of the music criticism version of Disco Sucks, right? It's this idea that Disco, which was marketed to women, is not only uninteresting to the white male rock consumer, but actively sucks and needs to be spoken out against. It very…

I read that scene as non-literal. That it happened in Elliot's head. We know from last week she was already kidnapped. (Probably dead)

I think it's worth noting that this Vera plot was a digression, that the A-plot remains a story of corporate crime and cyberpunk activism. We know this because the titular Mr. Robot shows up for a scene to remind us that taking down E-Corp is what's important. Maybe introducing life and death stakes is cliche, but I'm…

A lot, I would wager.

The writer has been deliberate in keeping the reality of Mr. Robot ambiguous, but even if he is just a variant of Tyler Durden, to accuse this show of hack writing is absurd.

I don't know if Shayla is less attractive then Angela, but I think the fact that cast a girl with dark hair and dark features is an important contrast to Angela's blondeness.

I disagree about Darlene. I think she is a fully realized character with depth and layers. I am confident that she will continue to get a lot of screentime and characterization. Shayla was the girl with the thinnest characterization, IMO.
