I have enjoyed the fantasy of this show—the mythological story lines, both primary (episodic) and secondary (seasonal/series arc). I've also enjoyed the characters—even in the sillier character evolution(s). My guess is that Hank and Woo will resurrect; Big Z will get his due; and all there will be no more Grimm…

Besos! No harm; no foul. Equanimity is the greatest virtue of all….accordingly I fight for the dullards who may not enjoy Mr. Robot as much as we do!
I will concede that you may be the expert on dullards and self fascination.
I would offer this observation regarding those who may not like the show in less pejorative terms than describing the minds as dull, deficient, dopey. It has to do with personal styles and preferences not intelligence. This series (which I like very much) requires comfort with a high degree of ambiguity. Those…
I found the ending of the show quite satisfying, but perhaps I have a low bar! There was a piece of me that held out a possibility that Naz would say…."Great speech. Thanks for getting me off. But…..I did it." I thought the show did a good job of showing both tired and inspired characters….working within the…
I am new to this show, and binge watched the first 5 episodes while doing laundry/housework. That left me eager to see this episode. Each episode has a palpable undertone of making us wonder if we are missing something. I think that 'plodding' becomes a necessary evil when one is creating dimensionality of the…
Please consider going to a shelter and see how many dogs end up there that are neither mangy nor damaged. So many pets were turned in during the economic crisis as families were forced to leave homes and going to non-pet friendly places. And…with the bolus of the elderly, their are pets that end up in shelters…
I think that part of the 'fun' in all this is trying to tease out reality. OUr personal realities are so much shaped by our point of view lens. And our friend Elliott is in a fun house mirror of lenses!
The mother appears pregnant to my eye in the live family on the building vid board.
I'm wondering if White Rose is the person, and Elliott and all the others fictitious.
If Elliott is looking for Tyrell in his mind, then that is not so odd. And all of the characters, 'look' for Elliott in various places—odd places to include his childhood home.
Observations: Angela's scenes had a slowed down, dream like quality to them. I believe that everything we witnessed with her is the trauma that led to the dis associative personalities of "Elliot". I suspect James Plouffe is that father that committed suicide; and Angela had put the bag out of reach and out of…
Well, we have to keep in mind that nothing is at it seems, and the memory of Elliot's dad and the 'facts' are an incongruence that will need to get worked out.
When Terry Colby responds to Angela's wondering about what "they" were doing when making a decision about the chemicals and her monther's life, he mentions that they were eating shrimp.
Tyrell states to Elliot in the bathroom and steel mountain that "it is a matter of public record that your father worked at Evil corp before he died" Though we see Mr. Robot in his shop v. Evil corp. Another reference has both Angela's mother and Elliot's father working their from the character Angela.
My current lens is
The 'weird new dad' comment was interesting. The cigarette smoking and coughing is something that I've focused on among Mr Robot, Elliot and Darelene. Angela smokes but I don't notice her coughing.
Indeed. And what if our viewer involvement is simply that of being being seduced by Elliot (who Angela accused of being born a month ago) to be called a "friend" and Elliot is simply a manipulative force—like many of the other personalities trying to curry favor, befriending or slinking about out of sight by other…
There is an "Inception-esque" quality in the scene where Elliot is walking down the street (before getting whisked away to Evil Corp) and all of the bystanders turn their heads and look at Elliot. In his dream sequence when his father takes Elliot to the netherworld place to score some heroin, he gives the guy at the…
