drat it, I should be pissed that this episode was almost 100% wheel-spinning with no plot movement but gently caress it, that was incredible.

Was ALF voiced by the actual original voice actor? I couldn't tell a difference.

Wikipedia has Pual Fusco as the voice and puppeteer for ALF in this last episode. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Fusco

Where did Angela recognize the henchman from?

He's the one who gave them the cd.

Edit: aka that's not a henchman, that's Darlene's ex.

I didn't catch the time it stated on Angela's terminal before her hack, but was it in the morning? I want to link it to Careful Massacre of the Bourgeoisie, starting on USA at 11!

Yes. Darlene mentions that the floor they want her on should be empty because it's lunch time.

Does anyone feel like Darlene Instagramming Careful Massacre of the Bourgeoise is going to come back to bite them?

It's literally the origin of the mask they used.

As soon as that happened, it seemed ominous. It will definitely be used against them later.

Dom is by far my favorite new character in the show, and I can't wait to see how her character ends up playing out. Man this show is great.

Edit: Yep, that owned. While the plot didn't move too much we had so much development of the Elliot-Mr. Robot relationship that it's fine.

Yeah, the sitcom bit will steal all the attention but I really loved that too. A good episode throughout. All I could think when she was in the restroom was "you couldn't get a laptop with quieter keys?!"

The fact that Minister Zhang, who I assume to be White Rose, is no longer taking Price's calls after the FBI attack is a pretty significant development too. That and the protests swamping E-Corp's HQ signal that Price's control on things is slipping away.

I don't know why nobody answered you when it was very much obvious in this episode and the telegraphing of Tyrell's death is so loud but here you go, from this episode:

It's the paparazzi loving with her to get stories. She's been in the papers constantly and they're just goading her out all the time, hoping she goes crazy.

It could be either but I'll say "a basement" since if it was his it'd probably a bit more furnished.

Actually it's just a solitary confinement room in the Institution.

Personally I think we'll be getting a reveal on this in the next episode.

Whenever I read the reviews for this show I find critics are always taking it as a given that the Elliot scenes are the least interesting part of an episode, which is so far away from my perception it sorta makes my head spin.

I honestly don't get the criticisms that this season is too boring. It's definitely slower and less streamlined than Season 1, but the direction and acting is so engrossing that I barely even notice how long scenes run anymore.

I wouldn't call them boring either but at the same time it felt like he was in limbo with his ghost dad for a really long time. Its meaningful stuff but the rest of the world is exploding so those scenes could be a real comedown.

Without any major spoilers can someone tell me if most of the episode stays in that format?

Wait so instead of bringing in people to an amazing show, you just ran and hid? For shame. *bell.* Shaame.

I'm not even sure how you'd bring people into Mr. Robot anywhere besides the beginning, let alone in a mid-80's sitcom segment where ALF kills a main character.

This. If you see him when he drops off the device with Angela and Darlene, that finger is bandaged. It's not 100% clear (although close enough) that whatever they changed is what crashed the hack - any guesses as to what the Dark Army is trying to do? I haven't seen anything plausible about their end game, the only things we know about them for sure is that they're Chinese, willing to play rough, and one of the most prominent members is extremely well connected politically/socially. It's all theory crafting, I know, just wondering what I've missed if anything.
