Has anyone been watching the live Mr. Robot after show? It's not incredible but, when allowed, the host has some really quick wit and it's fun to see the cast joke around a bit.

Last night they had a Nora Ephron-like clips of Cisco and Darlene's relationship that was silly.

Carly also got a good dig in that went something like:

Host: Darlene really shocked everyone when she kind of took over fsociety.
Carly: She also shocked the lady from E-Corp

Edit:
Can't find youtube links but here's the whole Hacking Robot 102 episode:
http://www.usanetwork.com/mrrobot/videos/hacking-robot-102

Clip of relationship thing is @ 9:39

The Verge's weekly aftershow is fun - so far they've had BD Wong, fat steel mountain guy and FLIPPER.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the third personality theory but I admit that Angela did pretty conspicuously bring up one of Elliot's meltdowns while mentioning the possibility that he has more than Mr.Robot as an imaginary friend. I guess "we" could be the third personality he freaked out at, but there is also another important clue...

Angela posted:

Do you remember when I found you at the Queens Museum? You were pacing and screaming at the staff, because they couldn't see whoever you said you were seeing.
Was it your dad then too, or was it someone else?

Also, I'm convinced at this point that there is a third personality (besides his dad) that controls Elliot sometimes, and is responsible for the Phase 2 plan, whatever that is. There real question is who it is, since I'm sure that the show creators would have teased us with his appearance at some point earlier in the show without us knowing it.

I think I want it to be a third personality because a) Elliot and Mr. Robot were felt 'wrong' when they were in Cisco's apartment, and b) I don't want it to be revealed that Mr. Robot is lying to Elliot again, although this seems to be the case. If Elliot doesn't know what phase two is even though he created it, it would mean Mr. Robot is holding information back from him (which is even more evident with his disappearance during the calls and his assertion about returning home), which sucks because I really liked how they broke the barrier between them and started working together.

Darlene's story about that insane woman (who I'm guessing had lost her own child years earlier) who kidnapped her was really, really hosed up.

Shooting Blanks posted:

Someone remind me, were there any romantic overtones between Elliot and Angela before, or history? I couldn't tell if she was simply confused by the kiss, if she had been hoping it would happen for a long time (my guess) or if there was some history that she didn't want to revisit and didn't know why Elliot would?

I don't even think she was necessarily hoping for affection from Elliot in particular, simply that he was familiar and safe, and she's been so tightly wound while inside ecorp that it was just an emotional release.

I was just relieved she didn't pull back and gasp,"Elliot please tell me you remember I'm your sister! :gonk:"

We require more frames. There's another shower of red mist on Darlene's side shortly after and I can't tell if it's from her head area or a bottle in the area (ketchup/hot sauce theory).

That whole thing with him is weird and I hope they flesh it out a bit. Like he makes it sound like oh I'm just a regular mook who works for important people. But he has killed at least one person on Joanna's behalf which doesn't seem like regular mook stuff. Like I think at that point some guy you hired to protect you and maybe do private detective stuff just says gently caress it I'm out. I guess he's in love with her but he knows he doesn't have a shot and that she's totally nuts.

I don't think he's in love with her , I think that she and Tyrell most likely just had the dude totally compromised, and he knows they're ruthless and psycho enough to follow through on any blackmail threats. I can't really think of any other reason for him to keep doing what he's been doing for Joanne when she can't be affording to pay him a whole lot of money anymore.

Let's talk about tactics.
People already went as far as identifying the open book (and the page it's open at) in the room after being tipped by someone working on the show that you should pay attention to the bottom right corner. I don't think anyone actually figured out anything meaningful though

That episode was fantastic! Great pacing and cinematography, and music selection.

Cisco's head is gone, and you can totally see a ketchup bottle exploding on the table in that zoomed gif. Darlene is probably alive, potentially with a couple bullet wounds though.

How did the DA assassins know where Cisco was? And how dumb is Dom's supervisor, god drat. Unless he meant to do that :tinfoil:

That Dora the Explorer scene really reminded me of the VR clip they did. Also, I need to look up a screenshot of those wifi networks, I bet there's jokes

Dude?
Watching live last night that last scene was making me really nervous. Something about the music and what was happening on screen was really giving me butterflies and nausea. The nerves got so bad that I had to turn it off and go to bed. I attributed it to something else because I've never had a physical reaction like that to a show before. Tonight I decided I needed to see what happened in the last 8 minutes so I watched it and the nerves and nausea were back.

The people making this show know exactly how to make me very uncomfortable.

I figured that the Phase posters meant there was something in the subway background noise that could be picked out with some audio software. I figured it tied into his conversation earlier about being able to pick out a conversation in a loud restaurant. I have no expertise in that though.

And I was staring everywhere in that drat wide shot, nothing. I have no idea of what the hell Elliot's apartment is supposed to look like.

Anticipating a Dom/Eliot alliance because its obvious that the FBI is compromised by E Corp. They don't want the trail running to Angela and whatever the reactor conspiracy is.

Also very obvious that Dom/Elliot each has half the Whiterose info. Elliot knows the Dark Army leader is a cross-dressing Chinese guy while Dom knows the Minister of whatever is a cross-dressing Chinese guy.

They patched it, but the patch didn't fix my current save. I restarted for a third time with my clock set back a week and advanced through it in one go. Finally finished. Would have been cool if it worked the first time but it was a huge pain in the rear end the way it was.
