The ending was so tense. This show is great.

This last episode was my favorite yet! Very intense. Also, I had a thought. What if the Mr. Robot character is supposed portray his father who passed away? I remember the scene of Mr. Robot asking Elliot about his dad but maybe he was just reflecting on it. Not sure.

Just watched all the episodes and got caught up this week. I'm definitely in.

Loved hearing Love on a Real Train by Tangerine Dream towards the end of episode 5. Same feeling as in Risky Business.

Hopefully they are making it really obvious that Mr. Robot is the same person Elliot for a reason.

Loved the last episode.

Question: why did the guy in prison kill the girl after Elliott told him he hacked his operation and could delete everything if anyone was killed? Is he just not worried about that? Did I miss something?

He said that with his brother dead, so was his operation, and he was in the wind. He didn't care what Elliot did at that point.

Gotcha, thanks.

So he doesn't care about the money that Elliott can delete? I understand not really having the operation anymore but I would have thought he at least would care about the money.

This show is awesome.

4 episodes in and this show is trying way too hard to hit every single slang comment and hip techy talking point there is.

Fun idea for USA, but this isn't anything like it actually goes down. For the most part the crowd is socially inept, but not hip and demographically correct like this.

Real world ain't like "Hackers", but it's not like this either.


Outside of trinity running Nmap in the matrix, this is the most realistic cyber security / hacking portrayal I've seen.

Is it gonning to be perfecy? No, it won't be and I am glad because that would make for some boring ass TV

So I haven't figured it out yet.

Why did tyrell kill her? Just pissed at the situation?

Frame her husband? He is setting something up by having her take a specific route to the roof .

SPOILER

He had the presence of mind to wipe her down with alcohol wipes and had her go up a staircase that didn't have cameras. I think he planned it, or it was his wife's plan.

I think he is either hoping it gets pinned on the new CTO, or that the new CTO is shaken up by it that he steps down.

Think his wife may be crazier than him. I think he is basically her little pawn.

I was wondering why Tyrell was looking so nervous about going to the roof.
mavsfan4ever

I thought tyrell planned it too, but then I was surprised at how freaked out and scared he seemed after he did it. It almost seemed as though he didn't mean to kill her and he just got carried away in a moment of passion/anger. Something seemed weird about his reaction, but maybe it was just because he freaked out that he actually killed someone.

2 possibilities.

Either he meant to take her up there and bang her for whatever reason his wife and him want to do that, and he just let his frustration and emotions out on her from being passed over the job(and knowing that he will be fired)...

OR

He went up there to kill her all along, but was mentally struggling with the idea of having to do it, and immediately freaked after he did it.
chjoak

I'm leaning towards #2. When he was leaving the party his wife told him "Steady" meaning to me that he was already nervous about something. Why would he be nervous about fooking the new CTOs wife after he did the same to a dude a few episodes ago to get intel. Not sure the angle for killing her but I think that was the plan all along. And I stand by my statement that Tyrell's wife is a sociopath and he is simply her pawn.

and while it's great to see Michael Cristofer in a decent role in this show, it makes me miss Rubicon still. He was so brilliantly creepy in that.
Morpholino

Yeah I'm leaning towards #2, as well. Can't think of any other reasons why he would bring alcohol wipes other than trying to cover up fingerprints or DNA.
mavsfan4ever

Yea, I think it's #2 as well. Just thought his reaction was strange for a premeditated murder. If it was actually his wife's idea, then his reaction would make more sense though. Has his wife really been shown all that much in the show so far? It seems like it would be a little weird to make someone who they haven't shown much be such a major player who is calling all the shots. But nothing would shock me at this point, which is why this show is so good.

She has been shown in a peripheral manner so far. However, each time it shows her seemingly in control (cool/calm/collected or giving him reassurance/instruction) while he is erratic.
Bunk Moreland

The whole time before the fooling around started, and even when he first engaged her, I thought for sure she was being thrown over the edge of the roof.

So after Elliot's boss at AllSafe tells him to find someone he can be himself with... Mr. Robot starts having all of these interactions with the f society team.

Very busy episode... another murder, coming out to the shrink, dog eating the memory card, getting the team back together, and a mouth full of old hairy balls.

It will be fun to see where this all goes.

Wow.

SPOILER



I'm still confused if Elliot's dad/Mr Robot is real... Or is he really a figment of Elliot's imagination? If it's his imagination, who the heck was talking to Tyrell earlier? Or is the line still blurred what's real and what's not?

Wow.

Not only was that the best episode of the season... not only was that an AWESOME reveal... but IMO, overshadowed by both of those things, and just as cool, was how phenomenally awesome the White Rose was as a character. One of the most brief-but-memorable characters I've seen on TV in long, long time. And "she" is definitely a he, right? If so, that's even more of a mind trip.

Up until now, I've really enjoyed this show. After tonight, I'm officially in love with it.

I don't think there's any question as to whether he's real or not now. Definitely Elliot's / Darlene's father.

... spoilers...


I do believe BD Wong/White Rose is a trans. He's an amazing actor! Loved him on Law and Order SVU, I was excited when I saw his name in the credits and when I saw he was WR it was pretty fantastic.

I know Mr Robot is their father... But is he dead or alive? That's what was unclear to me.
mavsfan4ever

I'm still not sure if mr robot is part of his imagination or is actually alive.
TCTTS

That was D.B Wong! You're right! I knew I recognized him/her. Holy crap.

And yeah, Elliot's dad is definitely alive. I think the whole "he's dead" thing Elliot's been telling himself was a way for his subconscious to make sense of his confusion. Unless both Darlene and Elliot have the same hallucinations, their dad is alive.

I definitely leaning towards him being alive... But if we find out that Elliot has multiple personality disorder and he "imagines" himself as his dad... It won't surprise me. Darlene being his sister was a huge bomb--bigger than Mr Robot being his dad, imo.

2 edits.


You may be right. But If he's a hallucination, what we saw would have just been seeing the conversation through Elliot's view. In other words, he sees himself as mr robot at times and as Elliot at times. Just because mr robot talked to Darlene doesn't mean Darlene saw him as mr robot. She could have seen Elliot, who she was actually meeting with.

Hallucination or alive, I agree that Darlene being his sister was the bigger surprise.
