Joey Badass was also a stand out actor this past season. Can't wait to see where his characters arc goes as well as the FBI agent.

Hahaha! Aw come on, I can't tell you everything right away! That would make for a boring story, don't you think?
In life imitates art news, Trump recently remarked to a reporter that he made the decision to bomb Syria over cake:

" I was sitting at the table. We had finished dinner. We're now having dessert. And we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen, and President Xi was enjoying it. And I was given the message from the generals that the ships are locked and loaded, what do you do? And we made a determination to do it, so the missiles were on the way."

Which reminded me a lot of the scene where Terry Colby tells Angela in detail about how they were eating shrimp cocktail when they made the decision to cover up the toxic waste leak.

What mystery? This isn't the "they're the same person" poo poo again is it? Because they aren't.

They're clearly not the same person. But the scene in the first season where Tyrell alludes to knowing his secret (IIRC) has never been explained whatsoever. And there's still the mystery of where Tyrell has been and why Elliot blacked out following the big credit wipe.

I really liked the prison stuff, though I didn't really see it as a "twist". I thought it was pretty well foreshadowed from the beginning.

There's an estimated 1,472 civilian casualties since Trump took office and ordered airstrikes.

Season 3 of this show will be a parody of Sherlock season 3. Tyrell was Elliot's best friend when he was a kid. Darlene's been dead this whole time. Also he had a dog.

They're either setting up time travel and parallel dimensions or faking everyone out into thinking they are. Either way, I'm strapped in for this ride. Season 2 was amazing on rewatch.

This certainly looks like the case, but I really hope not. It'll be a shame if they take a show that was lauded for being one of the most "realistic" depictions of hacking on TV and go all multidimensional or time travelling.

Considering how quantum computers are totally loving with our understanding of parallel realities, it honestly could work.

William Gibson's latest novel The Peripheral uses quantum computers to "exploit" alternate realities and while he (very obviously) doesn't explain the exact physics of it, the way it's explained does end up making total sense and it's his best novel in like, 20 years.

Everything with White Rose, and the teaser line "Do you have the time?"

Last I checked it's still a credible theory that White Rose is two people, one of which is a sister from another timeline.

Look, I smoke a lot of weed, and you know this. :)

If I fall, you don't get the head, right? If you lose the head, you're fucked!

I hope they don't use quantum computers to "hack reality" after being kinda accurate so far. It would be such a massive jump from actual hacking, that it would sound plausible to everyone but the people who do actual hacking, which it seems is a good chunk of their audience.

It would be a Big Bang Theory show level stretch. LOL World of Warcraft and comic books am I right? :xd:

I really hope that they don't incorporate time travel into this show because that would be stupid



EDIT: To elaborate a bit it just feels like too much of a swerve in a show that has stayed pretty grounded outside of Elliot's mindfucks and the weirdness of whatever White Rose is doing. People here were convinced that the plan Tyrell was going to show Elliot was a time machine and I was relieved when it turned out that he just wanted to blow up a building

It seems pretty obvious to me that there has just been interaction between Elliot and Tyrell that we as viewers aren't privy to, and that Elliot doesn't remember it because he's loving crazy. I don't think they mystery between them goes beyond that.

I wish it had stayed a running thing where Tyrell would keep coming up with crazy schemes to climb the ladder at ecorp only for them to blow up in his face, just for that look of chagrin.

I am pretty sure the show has been planned for 4 seasons from the start.

Time for a little robot chauvinism!

I don't see this heading into alternate realities at all.

Frankly, with Trump I don't see how the show does anything other than continue to go hard with the politics and present-day dystopia angle. Time travel would undercut all that.
