I still enjoy the show but it is slowly drifting into LOST territory and this wasn't a good season finale.

There's the dark army leader's focus on time. I've always just thought it was because of a cancer diagnosis or something so remainder of life became very important. Also operation bearenstain. Read some of the /tv/ live threads. They go on about time travel all the time.

I enjoyed that quite a bit. Everything doesn't need to happen at once. Stop talking about mother loving lost. Now I'm off to tumbler for some Tyrell/Elliot slash fiction.

I still think it's funny they worked in a Burn Notice which if I recall wasn't actually about any kind of police procedural at all.

What Darlene did (her repeated line) does sound like a tip Michael Weston would give during a voiceover of someone on his team being interrogated the local police.

I also don't get how Tyrell loves Elliot or why Mr. Robot would include him in anything. Season 1 he's an amoral rear end in a top hat who only cares about himself and increasing his own position. Mr. Robot is a murderous ends justify the means rear end in a top hat but he's wildly idealistic. These seem like people who have nothing to offer each other but limitless antagonism.

I thought season 1 made it pretty clear that Tyrell is doing all of this to please his wife. He exudes the veneer of control, but really has none. This is shown early on when he beats up a bum. It's not obnoxious Bateman psycho poo poo, it's just that this is the dude's only outlet to his frustration. Dude is so attached and willing to do everything to please his wife, that he'll gently caress dudes to get to the top of the corporate ladder to make her happy. He's been used the entire relationship. Enter Mr. Robot. Mr Robot is a huge loving idealist who could talk way better game than Elliot could, and Mr. Robot and Elliot were on the same page for phase 1. This opportunity to get out and change everything must have been seductive as hell to a guy like Tyrell. Mr. Robots ideas affected Tyrell (and made him feel empowered for once) so much that he grew to love 'him'.

What do you guys think sounds better, Mr Lost or Lost Robot? Losbot? The show still manages to be incredibly tense, but ending a finale with more unanswered questions than it started with is a dick move. Both Angela and Tyrell have made complete heel turns due to some poo poo that happens just off screen and it's irritating as gently caress, and now we get to wait another year until we find out why. Tyrell especially. He went from selfish corporate rear end in a top hat willing to do anything to please his wife and gain power, to doe eyed idealist who not only is 100% on board for loving up the world and the megacorp that was supposed to give him power, but now he's in love with the guy who came up with the idea? Was there something particularly damning on that giant board that I missed? It seems like everything on there was stuff we already knew Dom was aware of, particularly that Tyrell was the main target. Why the hell would any of that convince Darlene to flip? Why did the dark army give 2 trillion dollars to E-Corp right before they were planning to blow them up. Fake edit: What if both Angela and Tyrell have been replaced with robots/replicants? That would explain their weird behavior.

You can explain it this way but it really wasn't explored at all, Eliott and Tyrell simply didn't have enough interaction for this, at least not visible one to the viewer and that's the biggest problem for me this season had. Imo the show is starting to withhold too much information from the viewer, so much that it hurts the development of the various characters because everything is shrouded in mystery. Also I dare to say that the Eliott/MrRobot relationship has been stale this season because it's been running in circles. We really didn't get aynwhere, even in the very last minutes of the season it's like we are back to the beginning (Eliott trying to free himself of MrRobot once again...). Too much stuff this season happened off screen and that's a real problem.

I don't feel like Tyrell was used by his wife that much season 1, haven't watched it in a while but it I remember it more as equally awful people who found each other.

Dude had a choice between going to jail for murdering a woman because he freaked out or being a key player in a world redefining event. Mr. Robot gave him a perfect way to counter his feelings of being small and impotent by handing him the keys to the revolution.

I liked this finale better than the last finale. It did feel like an ordinary episode but really cemented my affection for nearly all of the major characters. And Tyrell as a confused lapdog trying to quote poetry after being dismissed and derided by Elliot in Robot mode was perfect and filled in enough information to make his character make sense to me. He's the lonesome self-hating sociopath that's vaguely aware there must be something more to life than climbing a social ladder and accumulating wealth but he has to imitate and follow his wife/Mr.Robot because he doesn't have the emotionally capability of forming any set of ideals. Anyhow, y'all season 2 haters will probably find the next season more to your taste. Esmail posted:The one thing about this season is that everybody has been spread out, struggling to get their lives back in order. The one thing that we’re going to see a lot more in season three is some of these storylines colliding. And what that collision is going to look like. http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/mr-robot-season-2-finale-sam-esmail-elliot-shot-tyrell-alive-1201867301/

The only one this criticism doesn't really apply to is Dom, who I think the show did a good job with. If the characters are interacting more next season, maybe this will be rectified.

The whole destroying everyone's titles and deeds thing being just another "phase" of an overarching plan that goes "all the way" makes me think the arching plan for f.society is to take down the entire country. Season 1: Take out money. Season 2: Take out property. Season 3: Take out government? Media? Internets?

Dr. Josef Mengele posted:Why did dark army give Ecorp 2 trillion dollars then immediately destroy Ecorp? That money isn't coming back. We're deep into theory here in terms of fiscal policy - but by giving Ecorp the money and then effectively erasing it, they removed the US as the de facto economic weathervane/indicator/etc. of the world. A power vacuum like that is basically unprecedented in modern times - it could give rise to new currencies, but with this episode's mention of "taking control/power" and destroying records and bloodlines of land, ownership, etc., it feels to me more like they're pushing towards statelessness. Without a central economy, a nation could cease to be a nation - without the means to pay people to write, enforce, and interpret laws, it wouldn't necessarily devolve into anarchy, but it would create a different entity to which people belong, and require a different form of discourse/diplomacy. This is all going in a very weird direction, but I'm glad we're moving away from the wild time travel scenarios.

I really liked this episode, with the caveat that it feels more like an arbitrary pause in the story than a definitive end to a story arc like the season 1 finale was. Esmail said that "Act 2" of the show would take around two seasons to tell and this felt a bit like a mid-season finale. Strangely enough, I felt pretty satisfied with this episode even though it leaves a lot of things open-ended; just enough questions are given sensible answers to move the plot forward in a reasonable way. My only disappointment with this episode is that I was hoping there would be some kicker that would tie the Ray and his website back into the main story, but that never happened.

DaveKap posted:Did you miss the entire scene with him? Joanna got closer to the bartender who was at the party where Tyrell killed Scotty2Drunky's wife. Joanna was stringing him along this entire season just so she could eventually get him to give Tyrell an alibi to the murder of Scott's wife. "I love you." "Great, now let's go over that false story I just told you so you can prove my husband's innocence and put Scott away in jail for life." Which is all pointless anyways since the FBI isn't planning to bring Tyrell in for the murder.
