If the illegal site was invite only, why were the human slave pictures even censored?

You know that's one of those things I'm not terribly desperate to pursue as subject. Now the silly TV/movie style silenced pistol in the faux-home invasion on the other hand...

Edit: For something less glib, there's a pretty interesting symmetry between WhiteRose and Darlene. They're both leading hacking groups with relatively serious agendas (although seemingly utterly opposed to each in terms of ideology) while both being constrained by playing an expected role (strong security minister, strong revolutionary leader) while desperately wanting something else. I suppose you can extend that out to Angela as well although she seems a lot more amateurish in her attempts with the affirmations and everything else about her new position in life. They're also doing a drat good job with holding out on Tyrell, dude needs to show up and explain what the gently caress happened already.

Anyone getting the sense that Joanna hasn't just lost it in the sense of being an amoral calculating monster but in a far deeper way?

What an inscrutable and awesome hour of TV

Edit: Anyone else start doing ROT13 in their head before he copy and pasted or did I just spend too much time on Usenet back in the day?

What was that entire "test" scene with the girl and Angela about? And the dying fish and poster? I did not see the reason for it at all.

Part of me wonders if WhiteRose is a bit melodramatic and likes to gently caress with people in style. Or poo poo really is about to get weird.

There were plenty of cheats in there but who cares. The effect was awesome.

This is my first actual exposure to the after show and hoooo boy. I'm sure there are great intentions at work here but Christ Almighty it's awkward.

Ok so what did Angela *do* exactly? Was I just slightly drunk or was that unclear?

Overrode/circumvented Elliot's firmware patch which will thusly lead to the UPS cook-off that destroys the backup paper records and any poor bastards in the records building. The destruction of these records is somehow vital to the success of Phase 2.

Reasonably convincing, although given Darlene's confession it's possible that Mr. Robot emerged again and that the Elliot we see running around and at the end isn't Elliot. Or it's some rando. Or it's possibly the synthesis between Mr. Robot and Elliot that we've kind of been waiting for. If he can summon a facsimile of him at will then why not follow that through to it's logical conclusion?

Had a feeling it was going that way when they refocused on the fact that everything was distributed out. That said this version of the US is hyper hosed.

It's like late September 2015.

Yeah that was what the date on the ECorp PC said (9/29 I wanna say). Of course when the crazy time travel LHC kicks in who knows. Although that makes no drat sense because if you can time travel then who gives a gently caress about paper records?

It looked like a nice hotel ballroom with some fancy lighting, I highly doubt it was the real deal.
