So I just binged through both seasons and I think it's safe to say that the entire show is just an elaborate fantasy an autistic Elliot made up while staring into a snow globe with an E Corp building inside.

I am pretty sure Elliot has the same condition as the guy in Memento, that is why he doesn't remember his sister or the fact he planned phase 2.

He may have similar symptoms but that doesn't mean he has the same disease. I mean they're both drastically different symptoms anyway.

That whole bit about moses also hearing voices and that, and it making sense to him, leads me to believe he's going to develop bad schizophrenia. My mate's dad had that happen to him, ended up thinking he was God.

It's crazy to think children's cartoons are more realistic than that.

Is there something about this tech word salad that I'm missing, other than the terms being sorta uncommon?

It's well researched and accurate, especially compared to most hacker scenes in TV media.

New theory: Elliot did kill Tyrell, and that's why he's seeing him now.

I don't want it to be true and don't think it is, though.

I like when both possibilities are pretty much equally likely, they could have really gone in either direction and still made a good show, which makes the eventual reveal, or the moments where we're questioning it, all the less predictable and more interesting.

It's like when Game of Thrones has two cool interesting characters fight to the death, you don't want either of them to die but you know one will, though they kinda hosed that up later on.

If the show ended with the true reality of the world being completely unknowable, I'd be fine with that, it'd probably be pretty cool.

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone talk about the Maniac Mansion reference during the commodore loading scene yet.

It's statements like this that make writers think they can get away with remaking Lost. Please, no.

I don't mean bullshit like 'it's actually all a dream/purgatory/fart space', but rather there being multiple, but well developed and thought out possibilities, each one interesting. Like how it's still interesting whether or not Tyrell is alive, either possibilities are interesting.

Angela's complete heel turn is certainly bothersome, but now that I've had time to think about it, Tyrell's utterly different personality is the one thing that bugs me the most. Season one Tyrell was a spiteful, arrogant pyschopath who didn't give a gently caress about anything except for himself and his wife. He spent at most 24 hours with Elliot 5 months ago, and now he's this lacky who's in puppy love and groveling for Elliot's approval? What the poo poo? I could understand Mr Robot's charisma bringing Tyrell into the fold, but he'd still be his rear end in a top hat cynical self while working to bring down the world, not blubbering on the phone to a women he's never spoken to, crying about how much he loves this guy he hasn't seen in five months and barely spent any time with.

I think they've implied quite heavily that they've both spent a significant amount of time together, off camera. We just don't see that because we're stuck with Elliot's perspective.

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.

New theory: the alf dream was actually the real universe that the show is being simulated from within.

So all the rebbits on that episode were made 2 years ago. That's some good foreshadowing. https://www.reddit.com/r/inside_e_corp/

Big fan of the use of "jabroni".
