In the Times Square scene, Eliot's mom appeared to be pregnant. I'm not sure if that means anything, but it was definitely apparent.

Well, Darlene wasn't there and Rami Malek is about 10 years older than Carly Chaikin so if the actor's ages are supposed to be around the character's age it makes sense.

TyrantWD posted:Agreed. He's completely secure in his position because as he said, he's still the head of the world's largest and most powerful company. Sure they've lost access to all their data for now and billions of dollars on the stock exchange but massive multi conglomerates like E Corp don't just die overnight. He still has more resources available than most countries and given the size of E Corp, will probably eventually get bailed out by taxpayers once things have calmed down. The people at the gathering might have lost a shitload of money but it's not exactly the end of the world for them given how much more they own.

He's also obviously upset in the after-credit scene, so he could have just been putting up a front while around his employees. Edit: although not that upset, but definitely shaken up. empty baggie fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Sep 4, 2015 |

When Elliot went back to the car to look for evidence and checks the back, it felt like the camera lingered and I was convinced for a moment that Bateman's dead body was stuffed in the under seat storage. Would've been super hosed up of Elliot/Mr. Robot after Shayla, but a body would've started stinking by then and Elliot would've noticed. I still feel like there's something important back there, though

When I researched the jail episode, I realized how frequently the camera paused on the trunk of the car, and I was looking for that kind of lingering in this episode, though it never came, in my mind...

While I have read quite a bit on the fonts involved in various forms on the show, I'm wondering if anybody has any idea of what font is used for the actors names during opening credits. I'm really bad at identifying fonts' maybe somebody else can ID this font:

I thought it was either this, or that these people are so used to having near-infinite power and resources that they don't realise how hosed they really are if society truly is on the brink of massive change/collapse, hence the "playing the lyre while Rome burns" bit. That whole scene reminded me of something I read in an article about a NASA-funded study on the possibility of the collapse of industrial civilisation: quote:Another scenario focuses on the role of continued resource exploitation, finding that "with a larger depletion rate, the decline of the Commoners occurs faster, while the Elites are still thriving, but eventually the Commoners collapse completely, followed by the Elites." I hope that this is one of the themes the show is angling towards. It depends whether the writers are going for a V for Vendetta-type "what if OWS was successful?" revolution fantasy, or whether it's going more in a Wolf of Wall Street or The Wire direction, in that these institutions are so big they're self-perpetuating and the elites that control them have so much wealth they never suffer any real consequences no matter what happens. Or even a totally bonkers other direction I haven't even thought of. Either way I can't wait to find out where this is going.

TheAngryDrunk posted:What was the point of the Psychiatrist plot in this episode? I think a lot of this episode was setting up Elliot's adversaries for S2- dog owner and the police, E Corp & their CEO, Tyrell's wife, Mr Robot, and possibly White Rose. At least on the first watch I felt like White Rose was working against fsociety. Now though, I'm curious because she went to the mansion presenting as a man, and that might suggest that White Rose is hiding aspects of her personality from the Illuminati type guys. Come to think of it were there any powerful women in that scene or were they all serving drinks? I don't know, I doubt White Rose's motivations are as simple as not being accepted gender wise, this show doesn't handle anything simply.

Nero wasn't hosed by the Great Fire of Rome, though. He got everything he wanted at the time with it (he had wanted to build a gigantic series of palaces but the Senate opposed him; with the vast majority of Rome gone he was free to build the Domus Aurea). He was only deposed due to an unrelated series of rebellions. Also, given that the creator continually touches on the revolution in Egypt I'm assuming that the system is going to eventually reassert itself, at least for a while.

This show is definitely very gender conscious and I can't get a bead on whether it thinks that high corporate is egalitarian or sexist. On the one hand no one seems to bat an eye at Angela being a conspicuously feminine woman in a room dominated by men, on the other we have a woman being literally murdered at a dinner party, and Terry Colby telling Angela to gargle his balls. The CEO of Evil corp was very open and respectful to Angela, but like you said, there were no women present at the illuminati party other than notably attractive waitstaff.

He still has more resources available than most countries and given the size of E Corp, will probably eventually get bailed out by taxpayers once things have calmed down. The other thing is that if everyone has lost their money in the market, they are still rich- debt was erased but people who had money and no debt still have money and no debt. They do lose any money they had loaned out to people, which kind of sucks, but power and status in those institutions extends to resources beyond money. The 1% is not powerful because they are in the top 1%, they are powerful because of how much influence they control. TheAngryDrunk posted:What was the point of the Psychiatrist plot in this episode? To set up the eventual Al Capone ending since this will likely follow suit with Breaking Bad and have the greek tragedy structure where everyone is destined to lose everything because of an original sin.

TheAngryDrunk posted:What was the point of the Psychiatrist plot in this episode? The show's a great big pastiche; everything is something else. Tyrell's the guy from American Psycho, Mr. Robot is Tyler Durden, and I think the dog will be Elliot's tax evasion and the psychiatrist will be like if Capone had an accountant telling him to watch his poo poo.

After sleeping on it, I definitely feel like it was a good episode but poor season finale. Mainly because I realized, I'm probably gonna remember just about jack poo poo from this episode when next season starts. It was very entertaining viewing but I come out feeling like nothing happened, focusing mostly on Elliot's state of mind and Angela's travails in Evil Corp, which is important character-building and contextualization for future developments for sure but really not so great at sticking in your head for months and months rather than a week until next episode.

I think in the overall context of the series this finale will fit better as a set-up to season two than as a wrap-up to season one. I get the impression that Sam Esmail had the big picture in mind with this episode and didn't want to throw in a bunch of shocking plot twists just for the sake of it. Personally, I'm going to rewatch this season again before season two starts up not just as a refresher, but also to look for all the clues to Elliot's condition and his relationship to Darlene.

I thought the power dynamic between Angela and the CEO was a lot weirder than "open and respectful," especially immediately after the suicide. The way he subtly required-but-not-required her to go to the press conference was a little disconcerting, and literally throwing her a wad of cash to make sure her appearance stayed up to standards seemed super patronizing.

Yeah, I didn't interpret any of his actions as being respectful. I felt he was very much manipulating her and basically guilting her into complying. I mean, you don't become CEO of the world's most powerful conglomerate without learning how to manipulate people.

TheAngryDrunk posted:What was the point of the Psychiatrist plot in this episode? I dunno, something about his big pitch for her to help him, he said something about "he uses proxies out of Estonia and short of that country [failing] we'll never get what we need" then it showed Estonia as part of the governments in crisis thing. So maybe he'll get information from some company in estonia. I didn't think that's how proxies work though. Aren't they basically a mask for your IP where instead of it being hey he's in 123 fake street, new york it reads as 321 real street, estonia with no actual way to trace them? Maybe he'll find that Elliott's use of a server overseas can be linked between him and what fsocieties done and his life being ruined gives him motivation to seek that out and expose it? I don't know poo poo about how that stuff works though.

An Internet proxy works the same way as an auction proxy or the like. It's an agent that acts on your behalf. You connect to it and your computer tells it want it wants and it goes and gets it and hands it to you so you never directly interact with your destination. However a proxy run by a third party could trivially track your activities. Most companies have proxies for this reason, along with the fact that proxies can cache frequently requested sites so it saves bandwidth costs. And they can block requests to inappropriate or dangerous hosts. All kinds of reasons.

Dog man is hoping there will be logs on the machines he proxied through, showing Elliot's home IP and the machines he then accessed. Anyone doing this for real would be jumping through a bunch of places though which would make tracking him an absolute nightmare.

By the end of next season, everyone needs to be fsociety. Angela, the inside woman with a lot of tension on getting discovered by the illuminati president. Tyrell, clearly, the madman on a leash for when poo poo gets rough. Put Tyrell's wife on the controlling end of that leash, watch poo poo happen. Have Darlene make sure they're in line and on-mission. Whiterose as a shadowy ally in the conspiracy against the illuminati. Therapist somehow Will Grahams people for the cause? Her husband gets over his dog -- or they give it back -- and, uh, I guess he can seduce women for information? The dog has an itty bitty camera on its collar and they use it for intel. Except Angela's boyfriend, he doesn't seem useful for ANYTHING except causing the downfall. Seriously, as soon as you get wind he knows something, throw him under a subway car.
