I take it you don't have much of an imagination, then?

Natural Born Killers is a movie that deals with themes of glorifying shitty celebrities. It's about serial killers who get glorified by the media.

I also dislike the term "mockumentary". I dunno if I have a better term to label the subgengre, but mockumentary has always rubbed me the wrong way.

I dunno if you're just trolling, but showboating profanity and preachy yellow journalism are absurd criticisms of The Wire.

Or he knows Elliot's secret. That he's the leader of Fsociety and framed Coltby.

Sure, I suppose you wouldn't address someone with a gendered pronoun in a direct conversation. That would be rude; you would just use their name or the ungendered 'you' pronoun. But it may come up where it's appropriate to address a stranger with a gendered title (Sir/Ma'am/Mr./Mrs./Ms.) in which case I think it is…

Yeah, but NBC knows that and is burning off the episodes. Developing a sitcom is hard and Craig Robinson seems like a good talent to build a show around. That it didn't work out is bad luck, not bad decision-making.

Sure they are. They are not the only indicator of identity, but if a person is making an effort to look like a woman, the polite thing to do is to address them as a woman until they correct you. Context matters. Like if you're at a drag club or something. A woman who looks butch is different, but they are still…

Yeah, it's possible. I'll concede that, but the evidence in the other direction feels so overwhelming to me, I would have a hard time swallowing it if that turns out to be the case.

We'll know for sure next week, but as I've mentioned before I would be very surprised if MR is literally Elliot's dad. The show from the first episode has been givimg us plenty of reasons to suggest MR is not real, and at the same time has given us no reason to doubt the dead dad backstory, so when it's revealed that…

Angela has also acknowledged the deadness of Elliot's dad. We'll know for sure next week, but I would be very surprised if MR is literally Elliot's dad. It just doesn't read like that at all to me.

He does explicitly refer to us as imaginary. Shit. He thinks therefore I'm not?

If a stranger is dressed as a woman, they are a she until they correct you. Clothes are an indicator of identity.

Mr. Robot is not Elliot's dad, who we know is dead. The reveal at the end of this episode very strongly suggests Mr. Robot is a creation of Elliot's mind.

I think setting that scene at a ballet class was probably a deliberate choice by the writer made to underline the characters childhood connection. Maybe it's a thing they did together as children.

I'll happily speculate on that reason. Of course I'm sure I'll look foolish in a week or two, but here goes: I'm guessing he's hiding from himself a painful truth. Maybe he's partially responsible for his father's death and couldn't handle the guilt? I think it's reasonable to assume guilt feelings are at the root of…

I think it's a sly joke.

It's an obvious critique because of a well known storytelling trope known online as women in refrigerators. This is when a story puts a woman in danger in order to provide the male hero with his motivation. It reduces women to plot devices and people often take exception with it. I took some time last week to argue…

It recalled to me the scenes between Angela and Shayla. They were bonding over concern/frustration with Elliot. They seemed to have a lived in relationship, but Elliot's relationship with Darlene seemed to be more personal then the other Fsociety hackers. I just assumed Darlene and Angela met before the series started…

I'm confused. What's your point? The review is arguing against the reading of the show as sexist. It seems like you agree, but take issue with review anyway.
