The last scene in the last episode had me in tears. I think this is my new favourite.

Grem posted:Yea but I haven't seen anything to show that the ending will mret my standards so I'm just gonna quit watching. I hope you're making fun of the other goon that said something similar earlier in the thread and not actually this ridiculous. Shooting Blanks posted:It's always interesting to hear how far in advance showrunners plan content. Excluding shows like GoT, where up until now the major story events were already known, the most extreme contrast I can think of is Breaking Bad. IIRC, the showrunner stated at some point during S3 or S4 that while S3 was heavily planned out before they started shooting, S2 was the opposite with almost no planning week to week. Yes, they changed course during S3 when they realized one major plot point wasn't coming together the way they wanted - but as a good showrunner you have to be able to recognize it and move forward. Certain types of shows seem to go better when the writers have some kind of ending destination in mind and stick to it without adding a ton of filler just to create more seasons. The bits in the middle or the ways the characters get to said end can vary or change, but writers with no idea what the gently caress beyond a pilot and/or one season lead to shows like Under the Dome and Sleepy Hollow.

violetdragon posted:I hope you're making fun of the other goon that said something similar earlier in the thread and not actually this ridiculous. Having a general end goal is great, but planning out 5-6 seasons in advance is a challenge because what happens if the show's ratings tank in season 2, and they get an abridged 3rd season to wrap it up? I said something similar about TWD showrunner saying he had material for at least 10 seasons - there aren't a lot of shows that make 10 seasons, and while TWD is definitely a contender, having an exit is always better than pulling a Deadwood. I think we're generally agreeing - having long term goals is a good thing, having season specific goals is a good thing as you progress through the lifespan of the show, the hard part is corralling the writers into not locking out plotlines while achieving those goals each season so you can actually get to the finale.

Just catching up and holy poo poo was not expecting that roof top scene. Wow , I really think this a brilliant show, first I know nothing about computers really and all the computer stuff to me seems pretty realistic and not fake, the acting is incredible, and just ugh. Sooooo good.

Really expecting Mrs. Wellick to be White Rose tomorrow, and that Eliot will end up joining EvilCorp in some way through some Tyrell manipulation and for the fsociety cause

Gideon being white rose would be awesome. Also Michael Shannon should be Elliot's dad.

steakmancer posted:Really expecting Mrs. Wellick to be White Rose tomorrow, and that Eliot will end up joining EvilCorp in some way through some Tyrell manipulation and for the fsociety cause I predict the reverse of this. Wellick will find out about fsociety, and then team up with Elliot so that the new CTO cops the wrath of fsociety's actions. EvilCorp is only partially destroyed, and Wellick manipulates the board into firing the CTO and installing him in the CTO's place. Same way that the first guy went down. Instead of outing FSociety and his connection, Wellick will use them as his own private army to rattle EvilCorp as he climbs the ladder further and further up the chain.

You know, I kind of thought this was a possibility. Wellick knows Elliot framed the previous CTO (whats-his-name), so maybe he will use Elliot to destroy the new CTO. But where does it go from there? At some point Wellick will want FSociety out of the way. Then what? It's an interesting plot theory, I'm with you on this one.

My mom apparently hated the conversation between Trenton and Darlene last week, and doesn't know why Trenton was complaining about her parents having lovely jobs. "She should be grateful her parents have opportunity here! Your grandfather worked 60 hours a week and he didn't complain!"

Ghost Dad we totally called, but I don't think anybody predicted SisDarlene.  Even knowing what it probably was in advance, that did nothing to change how loving boss the execution was. And you want to know the real mindfuck? We still don't know if Mr. Robot is real.

So there's basically two options here: Mr. Robot is actually Elliot and he's just projecting his father's image Mr. Robot is actually Elliot's father and he faked his own death playing on Elliot's mental issues to kind of just swoop in and as long as he didn't say anything Elliot wouldn't realize what was going on. I'm kind of leaning toward the second as he is noticeably older than in the pictures, which would be an odd detail for a crazy person to come up with.

Essentially Eliot's dad never died and turned Eliot into an autistic hacking machine with some good old-fashioned familiar neglect They didn't say anything about the Darlene issue tho
