My crackpot theories from this episode: 1) Mr. Robot had Tyrell moved into Susan Jacobs' house. 2) The "man and the girl" that Whiterose and her subordinate discuss are Mobley and Trenton. 3) Angela is Dom's ungendered ex-partner from her speech to Whiterose in China, which is how Dom was able to get away with barging into a suspect's apartment and talking to her so frankly and intimately.

I adore this show but the one part that always cracks me up is how guilty and deer-in-headlights Angela looks whenever she does ANYTHINGS suspicious. Last night's ep when she was in her own office, anytime someone walked by she gave them the frozen bug-eye stare. [Ed] there was a tweet on Aug 10 from Esmail about watching the ep live with commercials. What'd I miss? Feenix fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Sep 1, 2016 |

Probably the sitcom episode which instead of a regular commercial break they played 90s commercials instead. hatelull posted:Is there a chance Cisco found the E-Corp lady somehow alive? Not really sure what purpose that would serve, other than to complicate things even MORE though. Nah, she was face down in water and unless they pulled her out right away she is totally dead. For the plant there is definitely something fishy considering the big sticking point for the settlement was that E-Corp was refusing outside inspection.

Hey y'all they put the ecorp lady in the incinerator. But she could totes be alive. I think its more likely that Cisco found Trent or Mobley at the house, bound and gagged.

I was thinking that as well. The cliffhanger with Darlene nearly threw me off though. The episode was very creepy and stank of death.

Cisco caught dissociative identity disorder from Elliot and found his own dead father in the apartment.

I'm expecting nothing less than Hannibal's second finale at this point. The whole season's basically been ratcheting up the tension on everybody.

So I just binged through both seasons and I think it's safe to say that the entire show is just an elaborate fantasy an autistic Elliot made up while staring into a snow globe with an E Corp building inside.

Am I right that generally any time the NYC subway is shown in film, it's not actually shot there due to some rules? Because the subway trains there have a really distinctive sound signature as they pull out and you can hear it in the scene where Elliot/Darlene sit down and it leaves the station. So either it's done somewhere where they have the legit trains, or the sound people are insanely good with tiny details. I know one of those guys posts here, so intrigued.

One of the sound guys posted in the thread earlier, they actually are that good with the tiny details. I think he said they sat down there for a while getting the sounds of the subway correct.

I mean, ultimately, it *is* just a fictional story they are telling, which is what the whole St. Elsewhere ending was about. So you're not that far off, honestly. Still, stories are the currency of culture, so it's good to see stories that don't tread the same ground all the time.

ApexAftermath posted:HA I knew the actual real mom was going to show up. At least you replied with substance unlike that cuntface that just said "no". Yeah that was weirdly dismissive response to the very justifiable expectation that more about the RealMom should be revealed, esp since Esmail kept having Abusive/Fantasy/Flashback/Mom showing up every third episode. This episode reminded me of how goddamn LONELY Elliot is. We got to see him be socially inept and awkward around his own sister, panicky on the subway, ect. When he saw and thanked his Mom it was really touching to see Elliot finally reach out to real flesh-and-blood person, but all the more sad that he got no response. There is something really off about the Mom, obviously, and I think what we've been led to believe about her is partly fabricated. There is no way Mr.Alderson simply watched his cold, emotionless husk of a wife beat and insult his children. The mother is having at least some of the negative stuff projected onto her by Mr.Robot, I think, who was behind her cartoonishly evil portrayal in the dated sitcom sequence. His absence in the Mother's apartment was palpable especially since we've come to see Mr.Robot as the guy who helped Elliot face the violence and isolation of prison- yet he thanked his Mom for getting him through it in the end.

I have this nagging feeling that they are building up to something completely fictional. The show has been pretty grounded in reality, but I really just have a feeling they are going either sci-fi or supernatural with Washington Township. Wether they do or don't, I will be entertained.

Elliott's ma probably went schizo, beat them all up and then got zapped/institutionalized when he was a kid or perhaps dad's death drove her further bonkers.

Makeup is doing a great job highlighting the facial similarities between Elliot and Darlene. This episode especially, they truly look like siblings. Still a mega stretch to imagine that either of them are genetically linked to Christian Slater, though.

Didn't the last episode end with Trenton starting at someone but of course we didn't get to see who? And now this episode it did it twice. I'm quickly losing patience for these Lost level bullshit cliffhangers.

Can we please start some kind of rallying cry for Esmail to hear that good television does not require cliffhangers because that poo poo is trite, stale, and getting the gently caress on my nerves. I'm going to watch next week, don't worry, you don't need to cliffhanger me into it and your flailing ratings suggest it's not really hooking people more than making them too frustrated to care anymore. Christ. As for Cisco, the movement you saw behind him was lights from traffic outside the front of the apartment. What he's finding? Well, it sounds like a dude jerkin' off. As for who was at Darlene's door, it's Angela. You know how I know? Because Angela's the only person to let Darlene stand there at the door for that long without saying anything or doing anything.

I feel like he uses cliffhangers well. He wrapped up the first season pretty well, and a week-to-week one isn't that bad. I think they are intentionally used to add tension, because I don't feel like he often uses them. I have a feeling the triple hanger will have good payoff next week, and then no one will mind, after the fact, that this week ended in one.

I don't mind the use of them, but you can tell that it's probably not someone that interesting at the door because it would be a much better cliffhanger to reveal who it was otherwise. Like, if it was Tyrell or something, then that's much better being the last shot of an episode rather than the first shot of the next one.

Everyone called it who said Craig Robinson was the warden. It must be either Trenton, The lonely goon, or Wellick in the smart house. I hope that glasses goon is dead. It was a crime that Romero had to go, a man who had the wherewithal to keep his own small drug dealing operation together, some of which was buying weed for his mom for her cataracts. It ate away at me that Romero was gone and we still had to put up with screen time/dialogue from old Androids are faster McCheeseburgers.

They love their cliffhangers so much, yet throw so many things in your face and are equally proud of both of these things. I'll always love the drat show, though. @.@

Or, and I can't think of any examples of this at all, they want you to know that something happened but don't want you to know the result yet to make the story better down the road.
