Lol now you know how pilots, cops, lawyers, doctors, csi, etc feel about shows with them in them. Either you ignore whatever 'magic' and just enjoy the ride or you don't and you argue about it on the Internet like a bunch of nerds.

there was computer abuse, tree traversing c code and the stupid line this time was "we have a groupon for 4"

maybe Slater is but the girl has interacted with other people, so she at least is real, and she references other people at the arcade/the "plan." so maybe Mr. Linux is both the protagonist and Christian Slater, but there's at least some sort of preexisting, objective outside reality of FoF Society or w/e


I like the show and am entertained by it. idk if I'd call it "good" yet but I like how it doesn't set up the execs and the anarchist group as polar opposites. the easy way out is "the truth is in the middle" but from how the show is set up so far it seems like that isn't an option. also the main autistic dude is good at being autistic and it's neat how much room they give him to really 'sperg out

i remember seeing the first episode and thinking lol way to make the mr robot character an instantly recognizable actor surely this homeless guy played by christian slater won't be important later

also it gets annoying that american tv has to have an attractive guy no matter what, it just seems really weird for a good looking/well dressed guy to look/act like that, it gets kinda jarring

if Christian Slater isn't real then like nobody on the show is real. the girl hacker has interacted with Shayla and blondie, so they see her as real, and they've interacted with everyone else on the show, so at bare minumum, they have to be real. girl hacker then in episode 4 directly interacts with all the other hackers, so they're real real, and the other hackers have directly interacted with Christian Slater. so either they hosed up continuity real badly and only Main Character and Girl Hacker are real, or all of them are real, or none of them are.

girl hacker interacted only once with christian slater and iirc it was an odd scene. there's some odd poo poo going on with girl hacker (she can see the men in black?) and I'm not sure what it is

slater definitely isn't real, I think they disguised this better on the pilot but in episodes 3 and 4 every scene he's in it's super awkward how no one ever acknowledges his presence

also there was the dream going all "elliote you're teh mr robot" in our faces

in the episode where main guy is withdrawing in the hotel room, the black hacker talks to both him and Christian Slater in the same scene, so they'll have to do some clever tap-dancing to get around that one

also, I like this show, way better then scorpion.

and this weeks episode was super obvious he slater. like, whenever someone talks to slater the hacker kid is quiet and reserved not saying anything in the background, then when hacker kid is in the foreground slater is in the back not saying anything.


its a gimmick but its still better then scorpion and CSI Cyber. And its oddly self aware without winking directly in to the camera (except that one scene).

quote:

Even though you must have expected the level of scrutiny this show has received on forums and Reddit, has it reached a surprising level?

I actually was naïve to the amount of people that would scrutinize our work, but I’m thrilled the tech community has dissected that scene and proven it was plausible.

What is interesting is that it is so accurate, everyone wants to prove it is accurate or not accurate. There will always be some things not 100 percent correct. There was a huge online audience that revolted at the idea of an IP address that doesn’t exist — in one of the scenes, there is an octet above 255, which would not be a proper IP address, and there were many people who screamed about that. The story behind that is simply that legal would not let Sam publish a real IP address because that would be irresponsible and inappropriate. Sometimes you lose those battles, and Sam had to put a bad IP address in the scene.

With this level of scrutiny, if we did publish a real IP address, it would get a hug of death from Reddit because everyone wants to see what it comes back to.
