Mr. Robot

Spoiler

I like how they mirrored that E-corp from season 1 finale shot when darlene was talking.

Mr Robot up to his old tricks again. But now he works the grave shift.

Evil Corp still getting bent over. The CEO donā€™t care though

R.I.P Gideon

CON CONFIDENCE CONTROL // HOT TUB CRIME MACHINE

Not a lot of plot, but introducing a bunch of new characters. Iā€™m okay with it if they tie in seamlessly. Seems like they will.

Question

Spoiler

popcorn machine hidden gun

same one Mr Robot keeps whipping out?

And even back to when Darlene stole it out of the safe?

Elliot did look tired as shit in the overcast day, sunken bags under his eyes on the bleacher bench like he had stayed up all night. Good stuff.

AWWWWW SHIT! WE GOT GUMMER IN THIS BITCH! LOOKS LIKE MRS. WELLICK GOTS SOME CALF-COMPETITION

CALFPETITION

COMLFPETITION

Some stats and research on holding data for ransom, nothing in the big money record breaking ones of the showā€™s 5.9 million to pay homage to the 5/9 hack*, but a survey of some of an IT forumā€™s million users, including victims of these hacks

(where Manx obviously in there curating foot-fetish Fridays, like the guy with ā€œI LIKE FEETā€ sign on him from season one, Allcorp secrets revealed scene of everyone has skeletons in the closet)

Pretty much going to lose up to 24 hours of data, kinda like Elliot losing track of time? Even when he programmed himself into a routine.

*Finally watched that after show thru, which at the end said they wonā€™t come back until the end of the season, September 14

take it take it take it

That wasā€¦one disturbing 90 minutesā€¦

Best Parts of Episode 3

  1. the song during the oatmeal scene is one of my favorites. Mishima by Philip Glass

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTv3rsBg7eY

  1. Angelaā€™s affirmation right before her date with Price and that walk to the table with all the protestors in the background

  2. GUMMER beating off during Angelaā€™s date

  3. Price tormenting Angela at the best times. she was about to rock old dudeā€™s world with her walking stick body and he knows it. thatā€™s why he was rubbing his nose on her forehead.

Mr. Robot best show on TV

Angela turned into a complete whore and lost her conviction. Talk about rock bottom.

Elliottā€™s Mr.Robot persona really makes me want to research the finer details of schizophrenia and other forms of psychosis. I did love his rant about religion being the opiate of the masses.

Speaking of which, watching this show late at night makes me feel like Iā€™m hallucinating. I might need to rewatch since many of the sequences are mishmashed in my head.

imo, sheā€™s just lonely. she doesnā€™t have anybody. family is dead; her ex was cheating on her; Elliot is gone; nobody at the office likes her; and donā€™t forget the world is a more visceral place now. the only person she has to cling to is the supervillain that is actively trying to turn her into him. whatever she does with the info Price gave her against those guys will be the deciding factor on if sheā€™s evil or not (imo)

*I donā€™t have the time to write a long piece, but ā€œlonelinessā€ and ā€œisolationā€ have been big recurring themes through the first two eps. Almost every new, and old, character is experiencing it in some form.

Gideon, Angela, Elliot, Darlene, Tyrells wife, Ray, the redhead (forgetting her AIM name atm) etc. All the characters are dealing with similar feelings and emotions and cinematography captures it sublimely. *

So far, the theory I read (possibly major spoilers) makes more sense each episode

Spoiler

Heā€™s not at home with his mom; heā€™s checked himself into a psychiatric hospital, his ā€œmomā€ is just a guard who wakes him up every morning, Daryl from the Office is his psychiatrist, and the reason he eats breakfast/lunch/dinner with the same dude is because theyā€™re in the cafeteria, and why he watches guys play basketball is because thats all there is do it when locked up

Curse you bitch Angela. I miss nice Angela.

EDIT: This woman is fucking terrifying!

OH FUCK

damn shit got hectic af

Well THAT escalated quickly!

Spoiler

i really hope dom is alive in the next one. I now see how shayla fans feel ;-; .

Things really took off in the last 5 minutes.

Was I seeing things, or did one of the gunman shoot himself?

You did not see things.

The car guy was such an idiot, even without knowing the full situation, he shouldā€™ve been at least smart enough to know a desperate rich woman with a bodyguard should not be trifled with.

I knew once Whiterose revealed his/her predilection for fine dresses that Domā€™s days were numbered. I just figured Dom wouldā€™ve been the sole target and not this wholesale slaughter. It does make sense though because then it looks less suspicious if everybody gets shot. Now the blame will be squared away to the nebulous Dark Army and only Dom I presume will be able to put the pieces together.

And Elliot canā€™t stay out of trouble can he, as if he didnā€™t have enough to worry about. Now Craig Robinson truly owns him. I wouldnā€™t be surprised if heā€™s really responsible for his wifeā€™s death.
