ExpandMyMind Posted August 13, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Who is watching this show and all I can say after tonight's episode is WTF?? and HS! I've been watching since the pilot was released a month early. It's an incredible show. One of the best I've seen and definitely the best on TV right now, along with Ray Donovan. I'm just about to watch the latest episode (as soon as I click 'post'), so I'm looking forward to finding out what you are referring to in the OP. Be back soon!

ExpandMyMind Posted August 13, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 13, 2015 We can use Spoiler Tags to hide the conversation if need be. Holy crap. That was a great episode. I think most people saw the reveal coming - at least the last reveal - but it's still quite a trip when you realise how crazy Eliot is. His sister doesn't seem to also be a part of his imagination though, but can you imagine forgetting your own sibling? This show intrigues me so much. I just have no idea where it's going, and it doesn't conform to any of the usual tropes that are seen on TV. Unique isn't a word that would throw around with any TV show, but this truly is a one-of-a-kind show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mouth was hanging open and then I was LMAO. I agree it is like nothing else on TV and is must-see for me. The creator of the show is definitely on his own track and not listening to anyone else. Rami Malek did an hour long podcast interview with Andy Greenwald on Grantland that is well worth your time if you are a fan. He leaves no doubt whose vision this show is and how the set operates. I think this is a good link http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/the-andy-greenwald-podcast-rami-malek-of-mr-robot-on-the-first-season-and-whats-to-come/ If not it is now on Youtube as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The theory about his father had been going around since near the beginning, and it had fair amount of foreshadowing, so I don't think it was supposed to be a major reveal. And I'm glad it wasn't dragged out much longer. His sister was just a shock though. I don't think anyone could have seen that coming. Many-a-jaw would have hit the floor. I am very optimistic about the future of this show though. I find it hard to believe just how much creative freedom he's had while making it, and I hope he's allowed to continue mapping out his vision. The finale is next week, as far as I know. Should be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be excellent. I agree. From what I heard on that interview, he'll walk before he allows them to change his vision and supposedly he has it mapped all the way to the end when it will stop. No stretching things out but Esmail says he has 4 or 5 seasons (Malek said a # but I forget) in his head so we are good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tipotep Posted August 14, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Well, holy crap is all i can say...

I think only Sam Esmail knows but I am right there with you. This is good confusion, however, as compared to the confusion offered by True Detective this season. What a flop that was after last season's fireworks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh don't get me started on True Detective, What a let down that turned out to be I have to admit I wasn't all that surprised with the ending. The way Frank was saying goodbye to his girl just gave it away that he was going to be killed, also the same with Delcoro, the way he spoke to Bezzerides kind of let the audience know he wasn't going to make it out alive Looks like I won't be able to catch it until tomorrow.

Merc14 Posted August 14, 2015 Author #15 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Don't hit that spoiler button Concur, don't hit spoiler, enjoy the ride. We'll wait till you watch, no worries. I will say that I have been watching Christian Slater for years and he has done great things and p*** poor things but his work in this show, IMHO, moves him to the next level. I am very happy about that, BTW, and am admittedly biased but have no problem defending my opinion. Edited August 14, 2015 by Merc14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it that his dad & sister neglected to tell him that they were siblings?, how did he forget his family, Is he crazy as bat ****, I'm confused They knew they were siblings (he recalled memories of growing up together). One of the main themes of this show is mental health, and the protagonist is schizophrenic. This, along with being addicted to morphine, is why he couldn't remember his sister. He lives in another world where his father is still alive. It's our job to try to figure out just how much of this world we are shown is real and how much is in his head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowSot Posted August 15, 2015 #17 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Ok yeah, Holy Crap. Ungortunately I got spoiled a little bit, but it was handled real well in the episode so it still had impact. You really get a sense of Elliott's own personal terror. Darlene's " Again?" Means it isn't the first time. Like how we hear Evil Corp instead if E corp, she has probably said something and Elliot edited it out. Really hoping this can stay on track, this is getting nice and complicated and could easily bog down. The show is supposed to be entirely from Elliott's point of view. Wonder if any of the scenes away from his pov are real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
