It's kinda of annoying that stage 2 still did it happened and now our protagonist is actively working against it We all now it will happen at the end, just because it has to (what eles could happen? everyone gets arrested and the show ends?), no matter what Elliot does. And it's been going since S2, just get on with it

HorseRenoir posted:Yeah that's definitely him. I'm guessing that he pulled something to gently caress up Stage 2; we're only halfway through the season and I don't see them blowing up the building this early. The “Elliott” Irving kept talking about was Angela, just using a badge that says Elliott. The idea probably being that they have a paper trail of logins from Elliott to those rooms, and the possibility of making him a stooge when Stage 2 goes through.

One little thing that annoyed me was the security guard automatically being suspicious of the envelope. What, people don't carry envelopes in offices? Lol. Obviously after her reaction he has reason to suspect Something, but not before.

That's honestly a peeve that's afflicted the show from the very first season. Sometimes "our heroes" will act super bloody weird and it'll be of no consequence whatsoever, but then other times the exact wrong people will laser-focus in on the exact thing that would cause the most problem for the protagonists for no reason other than the fact that we need to cause those problems. It lends to an air of paranoia and tension for this show, but it's not always very natural.

She was carrying that super important open envelope like an rear end in a top hat, though. Who carries a stuffed-with-items envelope sideways and open. What an idiot.

counterfeitsaint posted:Wasn't he only suspicious once he saw she had someone's keycard with greater access than hers? He was suspicious at first, then calmed down and was making small talk with her, then yeah he sees the keycard. I didn't think it was egregious at all, since the building was literally under siege at the time. It'd be more odd if he wasn't suspicious of her acting so blasé during it.

He just asked ehat was in the envelope. The suspicious part was her riding around the elevator during a riot. It's not strange to think "why is someone transporting an envelope through a riot rather than running and hiding." Without even being suspicious of her, he probably wanted to know if it containing something sensitive that she was trying to protect from the looters. Beyond that, it does look like she's probably taking advantage of the situation to commit corporate espionage. But yeah, then he only becomes actually suspicious when she's carrying a badge that doesn't belong to her with a higher clearance than she has. And gets caught lying about why.

Hmm. Strange that a woman who works in an office might be carrying an envelope when there's a riot. I mean, the normal thing to do would be to literally drop everything assume fetal position in a corner somewhere...

Did I miss any chatter about the German at the start of the episode? The subtitles I got managed to catch him saying "The beginning is just the beginning" or something weird like that but couldn't catch the latter of what he said. What the gently caress was up with that guy? What was he saying or trying to say? Any speculation at all here?

Two German proverbs, they mean: 1) All beginnings are difficult. 2) To begin is easy, to persist an art. Side note: the actor was not a native German speaker but still good enough pronunciation. Non-German actors trying to wrangle German words are a pet peeve.

Everything related to Angela and the badge was loving stupid. It was meant for Elliot so it has his/a dude's face and name on it. A blonde girl with this badge was a huge red flag and the only valid excuse for clumsily dropping it in front of the security guard is if she didn't realize it was in the package that she was holding (at a stupid angle). But she used it to trigger the elevator, didn't she? Which is why her thought process was loving weird afterwards. "Oops dropping it was a fuckup, I should hook this clearly-not-me badge to the front of my pants face-outwards so I won't drop it again." *runs into another girl in the airgap room who instantly notices it's the wrong badge because it's literally being presented to her* LentThem fucked around with this message at 04:19 on Nov 14, 2017 |

Who the gently caress has time to bother checking badges and scrutinize anyone during a riot? That whole part was dumb. Why does a security guard give a poo poo about an employee with an envelope, again, during a riot? Angela can bold face lie to her best friend's face for weeks, but a security guard sees her drop a badge and she fumbles through the least believable lie? "This badge belongs to my boss, it's sensitive material, and above your pay grade." Anything would have been better than pretending the dude stamped on the front is her.

DaveKap posted:All beginnings are difficult... but to begin is easy? A little contradictory there... I was irritated at first too. They are two different proverbs. You could make the distinction between the beginning as a noun and the act of beginning, but that still doesn’t make it flow. On the other hand, contradiction is a huge part of Mr. Robot’s central character. So perhaps it is just about continuing the theme. precision posted:C'mon thread we're better than this. Seriously.

You guys are embarrassingly bad at watching TV. She drops a badge on the floor, movement catches security guard's eye and he sees it is not her badge. Why wouldn't he think that was weird? Is badgechat better or worse than Elliott is Darlene chat?

Sure, but none of us knew where the show was going yet. But the time travel, Elliot is Angela/Darlene/whomever and poo poo didn't ramp up until more recently.
