Ornithology posted:Another criticism is that the results of the hack on society are underwhelming. People are still working their every day jobs despite money losing its value? Except for a few rioter/looters and Obama on the TV everything is business as usual...? I find this totally believable. People seek out the comfort of their normal routine when poo poo goes bad. Money hasn't lost it's value, one major company got hacked. Even after 9/11, people went to work and everything the next day. Society is not disrupted so easily.

The institution theory could be true, by why would he still be seeing his old therapist instead of one at the institution? I think constantly trying to have a "big twist" isn't something this show should be about, I really don't want it to become hacker  .

Tokelau All Star posted:The institution idea makes sense, but then who the hell is Craig and what's he doing there with a dog? Yea, people were saying Craig is an orderly who has some sort of side thing he's working on, which would make sense, but no loving institution is going to let someone bring their dog in. Even less so for a prison. And what about the pyro girl with the red wheelbarrow? Are people assuming she's completely not real because Elliot called her his "totem?"

Kwyndig posted:Actually, as someone who's been institutionalized (briefly), they do actually let dogs in as therapy animals. Usually once or twice a week some places let trained volunteers bring in well behaved friendly dogs for people to pet/be around. So he could be using that as a pretense to try to recruit Elliot. Is there therapeutic burning poo poo in wheelbarrows too? E: VVV After a certain point, "X thing Elliot sees isn't real" becomes really lazy writing. He's got Mr. Robot already, how many other visual hallucinations does he need? WampaLord fucked around with this message at 15:22 on Jul 16, 2016 |

JazzFlight posted:One thing: what do you think the author's intent is with the scenes when Elliot's ranting for an extended time (the consumerism speech to his therapist in the first season and the recent religion rant)? It's like, basic teenager rebellion stuff but do you think we're supposed to be on Elliot's side or think he's unhinged? I fully think we're supposed to think he's unhinged, at least in the atheist rant scene. That stuff was literally pulled straight from r/atheism or a freshman Philosophy course. It's the most basic and facile refutation of the concept of God. Plus afterwards he seems pretty ashamed of himself and wonders if he actually said all that poo poo out loud.

Institution theory people, answer me this, and please do it without saying "Well, she's actually saying something else and Elliot's brain is filtering it to what we hear." Why did Darlene ask about where their mom is if he's actually not at his mom's house?

I don't know what marble cake is, but the password being "Joshua" was a WarGames reference. Also, I loved the sitcom opening so much. Was laughing my rear end off.

Toplowtech posted:Portia doubleday "crying at my mother burial" part in the 90s intro is the best thing. It's SO FUNNY. She starts out crying, turns to camera, the credit comes up and she tries to do the "smiling for sitcom credit" thing but just breaks down crying again. I died laughing.

Hollismason posted:How would I even get them a steak I'm on a ambulance and the hospital doesn't serve steak. I'd have to had gone to a store, buy a steak, cook it , and then bring it to them. Oh I forgot to add the reason thy got shot in the neck was that they were a transvestite prostitute and someone discovered that they were in fact a transvestite prostitute. Also, this was the 2nd time this happened to them. Haha, man, I was joking.
