Wild Horses posted:its his username in forums and irc ah, cool. thanks TraderStav posted:Her kidnapping could be the original event where she started forking personalities to cope. Thematically similar but I think the show said that Elliot got locked in a server room or something by his coworkers once and had a break down. Wild Horses posted:i'm gonna humor the Darlene theory a bit by asking: does angela know? I would guess that she knew. Randomly made me think of the fact that Elliot's had a crush on Angela (and she wasn't interested) and Elliot was always jealous of and stalked the dudes Angela dated.

Wild Horses posted:i'm gonna humor the Darlene theory a bit by asking: does angela know? One of the supportive points about the Darlene theory is how she's never around whenever they show Elliot's mom. Another supportive point about Darlene theory: There are 4 chairs at what I am now calling the "Elliot's brain table" at the end of the latest episode. One is for Elliot, one is for Mr. Robot, one is for Darlene, and the last one is for the mystery person who told Darlene not to worry about Vera. Still calling Sam Sepiol on that one. One of my qualms with the Darlene theory is that means the entire "Elliot was in prison" plotline was pointless filler. Which is exactly what I called it towards the end of Season 2. However, by being the filler, it actually supports the Darlene theory. I might be on board with the Darlene theory. Now I want to see a flashback of her trying to make out with herself. TraderStav posted:Don't kink shame I may as well add that, as good faith as my posting usually is, I don't believe the Darlene theory. Although I could keep making points that support it (Elliot and Darlene sound exactly the same in the Happy Mother's Day tape. We only see Dom's stuff through Darlene's eyes so anything involving Elliot could be in her head, including seeing his face on the board) there's just too much poo poo that happens separately between Elliot and Darlene to make sense of it on a rewatch. *Tinfoil hat on* Maybe Elliot as a person exists, but he's actually Sam Sepiol, and he doesn't even know who Darlene is, but Darlene imparts her Elliot persona onto him oooooo (I give up now.) Though now I'm wondering if Shayla is just in Elliot's head. DaveKap fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Oct 17, 2019 |

At this point the only thing I'm really convinced about is that Elliot has never been Elliot and it must be someone else all along.

The Darlene theory is plausible because it goes back to themes from the first season, which would make sense if it's meant to be the planned ending of the plot they started with.

Listening to these theories about who the third personality could be just further cements the idea that it being any established character is going to be stupid and it's gonna be really hard to write themselves out of this dumb hole. If it's any established character than Elliot has the magical ability to be in multiple places at once and everyone who talks to him doesn't seem to notice that he's a different person. If it's Darlene then the FBI recruited Elliot to spy on Elliot and didn't notice that the person they're getting to spy on Elliot looks exactly like Elliot. Also he managed to commit murder in someone's home while he was physically in prison. A member of F-Society asked Elliot right to his face where Elliot was and Elliot said it didn't matter. It's also really dumb to pull the same twist twice. Besides, chair 3 and 4 are for qwerty and flipper. We'll get a flashback of Elliot making GBS threads on his own pillow.

its more plausible elliot created his current self as a coping mechanism, and his real "self" is a lot angrier, vindictive and in general more antisocial than the young hackerman that can charm people with his wide eyed innocence.

blunt posted:He went on sabbatical to finish his novel in the last episode of season 3 (seriously). I didn't know Esmail had another show. Cool, now I have something else good to look forward to watching. Has it started airing yet? Oh, as far as the new Eliot persona, I was guessing Vera right after the episode, just because he was in the episode preview but didn't appear in the episode itself. Before that guess, my original, instinctual guess was that it was Tyrell, just because of the idea being in my head from reading all the theory-crafting about it over the years in these tviv threads, and due to the fact that young Eliot was in a skyline executive boardroom with an executive secretary in the scene, and it was very reminiscent of the last time we saw Tyrell. Upon further review though, neither make sense, along with the other major established characters. None of them fit as an Eliot alter personality to me. I have no idea where Esmail is going with this plot, but that's a good thing, imho. Lastly, my favorite thing about the new season so far is the Price faceturn and newfound allegiance to Team Robot. That character always had a great charisma and magnetism to him, it'll be nice getting to root for him unironically in this last season.

I think whiterose is building a time machine? Due to the back to the future references and claims of bringing back the dead. Maybe there’s an event whiterose regrets? But it just as easily could be creating a portal to the otherworld.

Parallel dimension poo poo could be foreshadowed by the window incident, as well as multiple personalities in the same person (whiterose + elliot both have them it seems) might have to to with the merging of different timelines idk Hero and villain being connected like that is not a coincidence I think Edit: so whiterose could want to breach different dimensions with some sort of super hadron collider

I just think a time machine or loving parallel dimensions would take the show in such a weird loving direction. There has literally been no Sci Fi at all in the show so to take it there would be an odd choice. With Lost you set the scene early that there would be more than meets the eye, but there has been none of that so far.

A time machine doesn't solve anything, people who died could still die again, could still live horrible lives, and everyone would still be on Garbage Planet living in a society. Matrix and Instrumentality Project both offer a way to improve life itself and solve a lot of the worst things about being a mortal and human. It's also a weird pitch to Angela, come to my time machine back to before I did all this horrible stuff in pursuit of making a time machine!

A podcast I listen to was pushing the "angry Elliot" theory, which is fine but I can't figure out how that could possibly be satisfying from a visual storytelling point of view this late in the game (or how/why it would even matter, honestly). I've only been casually watching up until this point though, so keep that in mind.

It is making me wonder if the Elliot we watch is different from the Elliot who does the voice over narrative and talks to us. Just another way this could all go I suppose.
