Danish is goddamn impossible to distinguish, and I'm from Sweden. It took me ages to realize she was from Denmark and not just an American actress reading Swedish lines and trying to sound native.

Just a note on the Swedish and Danish - it sounds very natural. Actually more natural than most of the show's dialogue. Most US shows I've seen with Scandinavian actors speaking their native tongues have stilted/weird speech. They either have some Scandinavian input on this part of the script or they let the actors wing it a bit.

As a Swede, I feel dumb for not realizing that she was speaking Danish (I also thought it was an American with a really strange accent). I could understand it just fine though.

My Swedish friend thought the Danish was some kind of bizarre made up language that she was mangling.

The only way a Swede can listen to Danish is via Bewilderment, to paraphrase a great author. To me it always sounded like really happy people who for some reason also have a terrible molar problem or some sort of mouth infection. If she was speaking Norweigan I could at least sort of follow along. Still, an interesting couple. No idea where they're going with it.

I'm a Swede working with support sometimes from Denmark. When I see that they are calling from Denmark I just wanna hide cause I don't understand that language.

This was a fantastic episode. Man, I was on the edge of my seat at the end. Also, major kudos on keeping the tech stuff pretty believable. I work in the criminal justice tech world, so this was a lot of fun for me.

Definitely, a lot of stuff is congruent with the real life workings of corporate security, the only jarring thing is how inept everyone else but Eliot at Allsafe is at their sole job, but I'm sure you can write that off as the subconscious superiority that Eliot feels as the Doogie Howser of network security.

 well, that was quite an episode. It was telegraphed immediately that Shayla was so very, very dead but the final scene makes it a gut punch between the acting and music. The episode itself worked so well that when Mr. Robot showed up, it didn't matter at that time whether he was real or not. Also lol Tyrell being called out as a giant sperglord, I just didn't expect it to be the guy that was set up to be a buffoon. Also please let that be the end of Vera because the sheer insanity of that character deserves to be capped off by that True Detective Season 1 vintage monologue.

That episode was great. This show is great. This is finally starting to scratch that Breaking Bad itch in a good way... I can't believe no one seems to be watching this. This is the best show on TV right now by a large margin.

This is the best show on TV right now by a large margin. I think it's cuz it's on the USA Network. I mean, I can still hardly believe the network of wrestling and dozens of cookie-cutter fluff dramedies have this show that's so very awesome with so much style and depth, and I've been tuning in every week. Anyway, I didn't see that death coming at all, I was even doubting they'd go through with it at the end, but, drat, did they make it impactful, especially in this day and age where character deaths on dramas are much more commonplace.

A kick in the balls, but also, really, really smart storytelling. Shayla's character was starting to get a bit trite - the hooker with the heart of gold - so it's good they ended it now. They also followed through on a sort of promise to the viewer, that the "Mr Robot" character is the more perceptive part of Elliot shining through. Just as Angela's character starts to get a bit more interesting.

See Blue mountain State movie for more of Frankee Shaw, slutty lesbian cheerleader with a drinking problems FTW. But that episode was immense, Vera is always a loose unit. He's a legit good character. I love all the tech poo poo, it just draws you in. Rocksicles fucked around with this message at 08:39 on Jul 30, 2015 |

Pretty much all the physical hacks are directly copied from the methods homeland security (or the NSA, can't remember) successfully used to hack into several government agencies a couple of years ago in a test. Dropping off USB sticks in the parking lot like in this episode for example was used successfully, the CD in the first episode was another one. The employees are always the biggest hassle to plan around when constructing a security plan because you can never trust that they'll actually follow protocol if left to their own volition.

Ok I'm invested now. Who was it who was saying that they got rid of the drug dealer too early, that it would have been better to keep him around? Don't make me search back through a dozen pages to quote you. I don't care about taking down E corp or Fsociety or Skater Durden anymore , before this show ends, Eric better put that oval office in the ground.

I thought the death was telegraphed just a tiny bit too much (Angela's "Hey tell Shayla I said hi" was the "Ok yeah she's 100% dead" moment for me) but I agree with everyone else that it was shot and acted so well that it didn't matter at all. Just a really great episode all around with some fantastic tension slowly building up the entire time until that last scene. Really looking forward to seeing how this ends up affecting Elliot. Dude's not going to handle it well at all

Vera is definitely a marked man -- I'm just hoping the character doesn't get overused as a boogeyman. The character is just so insane they miracle their way to being functional. He's kind of like Elliot, but with an aversion to toothpaste rather than physical contact. Xoidanor posted:Now I want this to be the twist.
