Mr. Robot

[calsnowskier]

I still cant figure out if the viewer is supposed to know that Mr Robot is just a figment of Elliot's imagination or not.

If we are supposed to know, they should be more clear about that fact, because right now it seems like they are insulting the audience by acting like it will be some big surprise reveal.

How terribly cliched was the bathroom scene last night? It's like some 14 year old horndog was directing and said "You know what would be cool? If the two girl characters made out!".

This show is quickly becoming shallow and eye rolling.

It was like these guys were directing:

 

[calsnowskier]

Heh-heh-heh...

He said "hard drive"...


Yeh! She turned my floppy disk into a hard drive!


Uh, shut up, butt-munch.

Ok, I saw last Wednesday's episode last night... Can someone explain it to me? This show is becoming more and more twisted and I still can't figure out if anyone else can see Christian Slaters character.

Elliot "trips out" and imagines getting shot, correct?

seemed like everything between getting into that bed and waking up was all hallucinations, including the syringe and making out with the girl before getting shot. Previews made it all seem like he is over the morphine and its gonna be real next week.

This is probably right. The bouncer at the crack-house actually conversed directly with Robot, and not in a Tyler Durdin way. He acknowledged that there were two people and talked to both of them.

I think the whole crack-house scene was a hallucination.

I agree, but I wont rule out the possibility of what red seat is suggesting, since he was hallucinating that scene at the crack house. I did not think about the chance of him being only visable to elliot.

I am not saying Red Seat was wrong in any way. I am agreeing that he was not actually shot. he was never there to be shot in the first place. To bring in a bit of Matrix, "There is no crack-house".

However the preview for next weeks episode it did show Mr. Robot throwing the computer on the ground smashing it and everyone looking shocked.... However, I don't remember seeing Elliot in the shot, which to me makes me think Mr. Robot is only "real" to Elliot.

I will say though what's her name in the wedding dress looked pretty darn good

 

[calsnowskier]

In Fight Club, other characters all interacted with both Tyler AND Narrator. But they never interacted with both at the same time.

If we ever see other characters interacting with Robot, I suspect it will be that same thing (Robot IS Elliott for that instance).

I just meant I was not thinking about it and I might be saved one of those, "I feel exceptionally stupid now" moments.

 

[calsnowskier]

In the hallucination, just before he was shot (I think), the chick who made out with him said something to the effect of "you dont get it yet, do you. You are M..."" and then the gun shots started. She was about to tell him (he was about to realize) that Mr Robot does not really exist.

still choppy, kinda think the evil corp dude Tyrell might be part of the reason the dark army pulled out. Dont know if he is part of them or someone they do not mess with. Pretty awesome scene walking in on ex shield wife mara in the toilet, where she spreads her legs for him to walk out.

I enjoy the hell out of this mind trip. Crazy show.

For a second, I thought she was going to blow him. If this had been on FX, I would of been correct.

Damn I missed last weeks episode. Someone want to recap and put it in a spoiler?

 

[anotheridiot]

another really good episode, didnt see the Shaela Sheila thing coming and really ballsy to end it that way.

Yeah, I didn't see that coming either... and I really thought Elliot was going to get pinched at the end as well. The brother (what happened to him) I didn't see coming from that guy either...... I mean I saw it coming, just not from "that" guy (trying not to spoil it for those who haven't seen it)
