The thing is that the first season of Dexter was actually good, it's worrying that Mr. Robot is hitting so many of the same beats because Dexter had no longevity.

So far this show doesn't have any side characters I absolutely loving hate, unlike Dexter.

If he's really Tyler Durden'ing then that becomes arguable since Slater is then officially ghost dad.

That said, the only gripe I really have about the show is yet-another-Dexter parallel. In episode 3 he focuses on "bugs" which he describes at the start and then talks about through the whole episode to the point where you forget why he's even talking about them so all his metaphorical speak becomes pointless and easily disregarded. Obvious per-episode focused monologues like that are not exclusive to Dexter but boy oh boy do they get annoying really fast and they got annoying super fast in Dexter.

Has everyone around him at his security job being comically incompetent been mentioned yet? edit: maybe Patrick Bateman will end up being his long lost brother

Should've just wrote the thing in binary That way when someone picks it up, they won't immediately know it is an IP address and will just assume some kid is pretending to write like a robot.

I like it. Its weird, and I like it because of its weirdness. I died laughing at the 404 House not Found shot. And then at the BroFish. That whole withdrawal scene was so loving weird. And hilarious.

That was OK again. I don't think I understood, in the end, what the MC meant when he was talking about daemons - normally, the analogy would correspond to unconscious cognition, but here, he almost implied that anything that happened independently of him that he did not control was a daemon (for example Angela going against AllSafe?)? I also did not care for the extremely long withdrawal scene. This goes back to my apprehension whether the series can keep up my interest for five seasons. If they are already playing for time... well.

Oh, I know what a daemon is. I'm just saying that the analogy that immediately occurs to me are unconscious cognitive processes - for example, control of breathing. That's exactly the type of thing that happens essentially in the background. But he's implying that other people are processes, not actors, in the system. Could be a reflection of his sperginess - I'm the only real human here; could be what's actually happening - after all, he's narrating this in the past tense - but I have the sensation that this was just a forced, misfired metaphor.

This episode was a complete waste of time. No cinematography in the world is going to save 40 minutes of uneventful and confusing nonsense with breadcrumbs of plot at the beginning and the end. I have no earthly clue what the rest of you in this thread found compelling about this. Also, no Bateman.

The preview for next week looked like it might show Mr. Robot and Elliott in different places so it could put to rest the idea that Mr. Robot isn't real.

The entire sequence of Elliot losing his goddamn mind was golden. There was plenty of plot stuff that moved forward, Angela took drugs and became a real human who I actually kind of like now even though she probably just hosed up everything. Trenton totally has a lesbian crush on Darlene. And now I wonder if Elliot will move Qwerty to a window when he gets back home.

I thought that was a killer episode, They knocking it out of the park as far as i'm concerned. That whole sequence was brilliant. Now all the other characters got mini adventures too.

That episode was so good. Character development on a show like this is just as important as plot development and like mentioned above, we got to see tons of them advance. I don't see how anyone could be unhappy. Maybe cut 5 minutes from the trip sequence (but I personally loved every second of it).
