I'm actually enjoying the hell out of the show but there are a LOT of Fight Club similarities. Even the coming into your "professional office" job all beat up and being asked about it by your corporate boss. Sill 100% on board with it though...

No. Not to be too frank or sound too snarky, I got what they meant in the pilot but upon reveal never took it to be literal. He claims there is a powerful super-elite. The image is symbolic and is like a narrator flashback (forward for us) of how Elliot envisions this unseen "illuminati". It never once crossed my mind that they went a direction with it and then got a new path because reasons.

I know discussion is just that... discussion, but I find it hard to count against or worry about a show's future seasons if it is good now. And it is good now. So I'm happy with it, now.

Wax Lion posted:I know everyone is saying the show intends to play with the idea that Mr. Robot isn't real but what if it doesn't? That's my big worry. Like what if the creator thinks he's got this twist locked and loaded and he thinks he's going to blow our minds? What if you just watch and enjoy each episode until something happens to make you no longer wish to indulge? The amount of people worried about the future of this show is astounding.

Kegslayer posted:I'm more surprised Microsoft chose to advertise on this show. It's pretty clever. Before anyone can go "haha it's like Microsoft!" Microsoft is there going "oh ho ho! This poo poo is crazy ya'll! That company is messed up! We're so down with this show so clearly we are not like them!" Not saying they are or aren't. Just that it skews as very hip "edgy" marketing. Man that stairway scene was so blatantly head-Slater that it has to be a curveball/red herring, right? violetdragon posted:Shayla was Elliot's drug dealer. It's a trope/archetype.

The only people in the audience who still remember them as the evil empire are goons like us. Oh I wasn't saying they were a good stand-in for Evil Corp, just that it's like a big corporate tech company elbowing up to a bunch of hipsters and being like " hey guys big evil corporations suck am I right?!"

Pregnant is fine. I just don't find her attractive and she made a lot of dumb faces. But this is a dumb and goony derail in a show that has much more and better to talk about.

I've liked every bit of this show. What I'm about to say is not even a complaint... just an observation. Darlene's attitude and demeanor has changed a lot over the show. Not that that's unheard of... but she was this kind of abrasive bitchy hacker chick who was like gently caress all this noise... and lately she's been (uncharacteristically) soft and subdued. Anyone else? Again, I ask... anyone know where I can see the stinger? There was a post-credits one last night... yes?

BrianWilly posted:Angela mentions that Darlene and Elliot were actually fairly estranged before recent months (presumably before he, Mr. Robot, got FSociety started up). I think the fact that Darlene was originally standoffish to him and becomes warmer over time was actually a good way to show that. Well my point was she was snarky and roll-eyes-y at everyone, always, and kinda just had that "psshhhh, whatever dude! As if!!" Vibe. The last 2 or 3 eps she has been very not that.

Botnit posted:Might be an unpopular opinion but the Tyler Durden aspect of the show prevented me from finishing my rewatch. I don't care about whether it's copied, imitated or just inspired by, it's boring. The thing that makes it worse is that virtually every other thing about the show is perfect. Every interaction Elliot has with any non-delusional character is interesting and intriguing and I want nothing but that in S2. Yeah. Definitely an unpopular opinion. Most likely given how wrong it is.

I adore this show but the one part that always cracks me up is how guilty and deer-in-headlights Angela looks whenever she does ANYTHINGS suspicious. Last night's ep when she was in her own office, anytime someone walked by she gave them the frozen bug-eye stare. [Ed] there was a tweet on Aug 10 from Esmail about watching the ep live with commercials. What'd I miss? Feenix fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Sep 1, 2016 |

Le Saboteur posted:There was some really lame stuff in this premiere. That narrated walk along the sidewalk felt just so clumsy, it definitely feels like the writing is going downhill. I don't think it was clumsy. At least not unintentionally. He starts monologuing in his head as he walks past the effects of 5/9. Then he starts talking out loud and I was like, this is weird. Then it cuts to other things and I was like, this is an odd angle to take. Then it cuts to him standing in Red Wheelbarrow and he's just been lost in thought the whole time and it sort of makes sense. He just kinda walked himself through the realization that the state of things is all his fault.

The problem with cockteasing all this fantastical poo poo (which, set in a real world setting, becomes fascinating) is that to eventually go “ hey I knew we teased this and alluded to a character being convinced it was real but we’re going to do a hasty 180 and just drop that poo poo with a “it was all a lie! We just wanted financial superiority!” is tantamount to having a movie about aliens taking over the world and get right to where the ships land and the doors are opening and then, smash cut, a kid wakes up, the whole thing was a dream! Now it’s a movie about a family drama. Like, I don’t mind Mr. Robot being about a hacker and the societal aftermath of their actions, but don’t lean so heavily on this other crazy poo poo if you’re just gonna handwave it. And that’s why I think the crazy poo poo might be real.

That theory of taking over their body is extremely not loving likely because no parent would do that poo poo to their kid. Shoot them, beat them to hell, etc. [Edit] ok some parents might but I think it’s been established that ACTUAL Elliot’s dad didn’t seem the type.

Blind Rasputin posted:“No parent would do that to their kid”, says man who throws his own kid out a window. Yes. I had a feeling someone would bring that up. Still doesn’t jive with ordering your son to be shot and beating the shot out of him. Wasn’t the window a heated accident?

The Sean posted:Referring to Elliot being pushed out of the window as "a heated accident" still isn't great support for "no parent would do that to their kid." Elliot's dad is an adult and should have self-control. And conflating “one time a bad accident happened” with “dad is malicious towards and wishes harm on his son” seems equally unsupported. Just saying. I don’t see the link. It’s a big stretch. It’s much more likely that because of that one heated accident Elliot’s manifestation of dad is so ruthless.

Someone above mentioned that Pryce took the deal b cause he was smitten with Angela. Do we all think that? While that is possible, I read that scene is “this is part of the plan, we need to go to Allsafe because <nefarious hidden reasons for 5/9>.

Oh yeah, I am definitely not denying he was staring at her and taken with her in some way. I had just thought that AllSafe was part of "THE PLAN". But I was straightened out above. That wasn't a thing yet. Man, I am following Mr. Robot twitter with Notifications due to the E-Coin swag, but I tell you, if the show really is not about anything "surreal" the twitter posts are written as a gigantic troll...
