+ Show Spoiler + so mr robot - is the guy real or just a projection of elliott who thinks it's his dead father or some other symbolic figure to enable him to go farther and farther in his hack attempts? at least the girl in the hacker group seems to be real - elliott's gf at least reacted to her when she sat in his apartment - haven't noticed that for mr robot yet (take the appletini scene e.g.). i find it rather unbelievable that a security company such as allsafe would hire idiots like the blondie and her boyfriend - and they are the most trusted employees of the ceo who also seems to be kinda unfitting and not very sharp. why would the most influential company in the whole world hire a bunch of apparent amateurs - when they had their crisis meeting a ~25-30 year old chick (that's how she is portrayed in the series) does the overall presentation to the execs - don't get it! ok, this turned out rather ranty.. but I'm still looking for reasons why I should continue watching.. | ||

I'm just about to finish 1.1 (waiting for these bullshit commercials to end), but I've got a feeling that Mr. Robot is eithe r a figment of Elliott's imagination or is his father. Like, actually his father. Also, I count two HoC actors so far. Wondering if more will turn up. | ||

Anyway I really like the third episode, they did pick great actors for the show. I just hope that they don't go full Fight club with the story. | ||

Wait your problem with the show is that a giant company wouldn't hire shitty outside contractor? What a world you must live in... Back in 2011 bank of America (which is as big and evil as E-corp) was anxious about wikileaks and their watchdog anonymous so they hired a private cybersecurity firm called hbgary. Their ceo Aaron Barr then claimed he had found informations about ringleaders of Anon and provided BoA a list of ideas to take down the group and wikileaks. As a result Anonymous broke into Hbgarys servers, destroyed their data, published their emails took down their website and then broke into Aaron Barr computer, published everything on it and remotely wiped out his iPad... Big firms do retarded things all the time, especially on tech issues and outside contracting. As for the wellicks he is a sweedish actor and she is danish | ||

Anyways, made my point, interesting that peanuts mentioned exactly what I said, although I wouldn't think it could be his actual Dad, whom he should sufficiently know. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Mr Robot/Elliot, and Darlene/Trenton didn't have a single line of dialogue when they were with others in a scene. Always one of them fading to the background or exclusively talking to each other. The only time Mr. Robot spoke with others in a scene was the very first part of Elliot's trip sequence (and they get away with it cause it didn't really happen). I'm beginning to suspect we might have a few more split personality/characters introduced throughout the show to make character interactions even more complex, but if this is the true direction that the show is headed (a sprawling, long-form hacker take on "fight club"), the writers are going to have to work extremely carefully to not fuck it up. If it's all one elaborate red herring then I'm gonna be pissed. I think I need to rewatch it.. | ||

If I wanted to watch people tripping out, I would watch it done a lot better in Trainspotting or Requiem for a Dream. | ||

It's really losing itself in its "mood" or "ambience" or whatever, while, still, not much is happening. | ||
