I have to disagree with notion that Elliot and Angela have feelings for each other. Or, at least deeper feelings.

I read their embrace and kiss on the train as two people who, having been close friends since childhood, found themselves in a unwinnable situation and the only thing they can do is turn towards each other. What I'm saying is, don't expect Elliot and Angela to be dating in season three.

They told me not to expect ALF in season 2 and we all know how that turned out.

I don't think that anyone expects that, but they clearly have/had chemistry. It never happened, I'm sure, because Elliot is an absolute mess and Angela has always known that. But since they were effectively saying goodbye, the kiss was appropriate.

Has anyone made any progress finding what we are supposed to be seeing in the panning shot of Elliot's house? I'm stumped.

Didn't Elliot explicitly say in early S1 that he had a thing for Angela? He had a daydream about it in the psyche's office I think, or maybe at that dinner thing at Gideon's.

I recall him revealing that info. For some reason I'm under the impression that he alluded to it back in the first episode(?) when she wanted him to go out and meet her at bar with co-workers and her boyfriend.

They also almost kissed back in All safe when the Colby arrest news broke.

But I too saw the train kiss as more of a stress reaction.

Did folks forget drug fever scene when Angela was out to that fancy dinner with Eliot and then she was in a wedding dress? It seemed pretty clear that deep down he has a thing for her, but I don't think it's a stereotypical "nerd pining for love" thing, I think it's more of a "they grew up together, dealt with serious trauma and he deeply cares for her" type thing. We don't see Eliot creeping out on other women or otherwise treating them like poo poo.

Also when he had forgotten who Darlene was and kissed her, he had been pretty mean to her up until that point. He was always just like "what the gently caress are you doing here, get the gently caress out"

My suspicion is that whatever it is, it has mysteriously gone missing, which is why we can't see it.

Watching season 2 again with my wife before the finale. So much about it he weirdness of the first half makes a lot more sense when you know where Elliot actually is.

Why are they calling it a 2 hour finale when they're airing the episodes a week apart? Wikipedia says both are named eps2.9 but what's the point?

IMDB says they are both airing this Wednesday, Sept. 14th. The first one is labeled pt. 1 and the other pt. 2.

I hope it's six versions of the same events, but in each version, a different character is replaced by Tyrell.

Haha. Oh god. You know, the way this show grips me definitely reminds me of my time with :lost:. I was just thinking about that when I watched the latest episode. Mr. Robot is way better, however.

Cell phone tracking? Idk some hacker poo poo probably... I was expecting them to be eating a Chinese restaurant, that would've been a nice explanation too.
Remember. It was the Dark Army that provided the femtocell. They have been monitoring the FBI's communications ever since Angela planted it.

Loved season one, but Season two drags like a sumbitch.

Finally got into a great episode that ended with so many promising threads - Dom's Chinese Adventure! Angela and Darlene Team up! Elliot hangs out with Craig Robinson for some reason!

And then the next episode starts with a seven-loving-teen minute riff on Full House.

Goddamnit.

it's not a rhetorical question, for politely saying 'you are an idiot, you don't know what you are talking about'


The Alf episode was pretty much the best thing, if you didn't enjoy it then you should tell your therapist that you are experiencing symptoms of depression.

The Alf stuff was pretty funny on its own, and although they did connect it thematically pretty well, it just kind of stuck out tonally with how wacky and out there it was. I'd be impressed if they did the whole episode like that, though.

Not likely. The mobile game takes place midway through Season 1; prior to the Steel Mountain hack.

Yeah. drat, that's kinda stupid, whats the point digging around with what happened a year ago. I would really prefer a tie in with current events, besides the game doesn't really seem all that fun.
