In line with the “time machine” discussion, I was thinking on my last rewatch that they could already be living in a simulated reality. A time machine would simply be a device that hits reset on the simulation (like Angela with the television).

White Rose’s project could be about perfecting the timeline by making certain changes, so this could have all happened before. It does also align with her smirking comment about how you “define reality”.

Sorry, if this had been mentioned already, but does anyone think its pretty strange that Darlene knew Elliot's phone unlock pin (whatever that thing called you draw on the screen to unlock it).
Gives credence to the Darlene theory.
This season has been very underwhelming, hopefully they can pull off that twist without making it absurd, which honestly they failed to do multiple times in the past.
Just like a lot of people, Im sticking with the show just to see it through.
Is this supposed to be the final season?

Mr. Robot - S04E03 - Forbidden - Whiterose has the feels; Elliot gets owned by his own hack; an old foe waits.

I re-watched the first two episodes over the weekend there's definitely lots of hints/red herrings about Darlene being the other Elliot ego.

About 18 mins into the second episode, where she's in Elliot's shower and then borrowing his clothes.
A few minutes later in the first Mr Robot speaking scene where he stands in front of Elliot, both Darlene and Mr Robot walk in opposite directions after putting sunglasses on.

Cool while also mostly grounded in reality too.

Season 4 has been great so far. Feeding us enough info that plot is moving forward, but at a place that doesn't feel plodding like series 2

I thought that white van was Vera and his goons tracking Elliot and that would be a plot twist for him but not us, the viewers, since he clearly wasn't expecting the brave traveler. But now that Tyrell is there chumming it up in his apartment? Yeah, no way that ain't White Rose.

Why would Tyrell be so sloppy about breaking into his apartment?

That plus WR’s assistant’s reaction to Tyrell being named CEO must be huge clues (or complete misdirects).

It’s been a while, do we have any definitive “proof” from previous seasons that they’re not the same person?

Sort of since Tyrell was trapped at that farm house interacting with Santiago and Irving all of season 2 while Elliot was in jail and doing things. We also saw the meeting with Angela, Tyrell and Mr Robot.

Also apparently Dom's FBI board has distinct pictures of Elliot, Darline, and Tyrell, so I guess it can't be either of them.

So the hotel that Zhang and his boyfriend were staying at in the 1983 flashback had a nameplate in the hallway identifying it as the Hugh Everett Hotel.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
Go back to sitcom format and have everyone place their hands on their hips and look at Tyrell with that goofy "you guuuys" look they used to do all the time in TV shows

The IBM types talk about how this will be their "first installation in Asia", decades after the formation of IBM and 3 years after the first IBM mainframe in china, so it really feels like whatever's going on Mr Robot is set in a slightly different alternate reality
