I recently saw the director's cut on the big screen, and WOW what a film but I could have watched those Voigt-Kampf test scenes forever.

I love the Bedelia and Will scenes because they highlight the themes of the episode, perception vs. reality and the danger of empathy.
This is great. I also think that Bedelia recognising Will's compassion is very key here. Because Will isn't simply an empath; he knows what others are feeling but he also feels for…

Um, all of the 'previous' and 'next' episode buttons are broken on this site. Right now I am being directed to Mizumono and Potage!

This speaks to some of the problems I am having with the show (though I love it). It is an orchestral piece with themes and phrases that get inverted, extended, repeated, shifted etc. (Am not a music person, can you tell?) So what happens is that the narrative is fraying. The cleanest reading of Bedelia in s2 is that…

It's just that everything is so sensual that it flows into being sexual and you never even noticed it wasn't actual sex. See the tiger scene and the Will and Bedelia 'conversation'.

And it had such a killer cast too. How do you fuck up Fiennes and Watson TOGETHER? (Though all the performances were good, they just had nothing to point towards.)

Critical judgement is not equal to grades. I couldn't tell you how they correlate, only that it is subjective. In my understanding, analysis provides insight and evaluation. Thus judgement. YMMV, and so be it.

But that is all something he wants. The dynamic is that Macbeth gets to be the ruthless, ambitious cur and he gets to absolve his conscience cos' she makes me do it'. She incites him for sure, but he would have killed Duncan, Lady or no.

We'll make it @doctorhawkes:disqus

It is good writing but complaining is also okay. Not everyone sees it the same way.

I like it - but I am cautious because I've found this story to be very moving and analysing it as an intellectual gambit, would leave me hollow.

He picked it up after Romero chucks it on the table - underlining to R that to assume Mr Robot poses no threat is foolish.

Yeah the human side of the story is more important than the gimmick of the premise. But, like you I understand that other people find it interesting.

Macbeth is never 'easily influenced by his wife'. He needs her to give him the semblance of nobility (Man pushed by shrewish harpy to do evil deeds). Seriously, he speaks murder in the 35th line of his role, and this is even before he's told the wife of the prophesies. He obsesses over Banquo's prophesy before he's…

Put CTO off his game, then swoop in while the guy was off balance and steal his job.

My thinking is that this is a chess move - kill wife, frame husband, get job. YAY!

Yes, I feel Angela and Elliot will end up losing another 'parent', though this time due to their corporate activities.

I think the critical judgement was evident in the reading.

Wow. Angela finally makes sense. And Tyrell loses sense. He is being controlled, by forces inside him, or outside, who can say just yet. I'm glad that Esmail is provoking our delight in the anti-hero. Even Colby becomes human.

Boxer in Animal Farm.
And that's how I know my parents never really loved me: they let their 6 year old watch the animated movie of that book.
Fucken pigs.
