d0grent posted:Except Tyrrell shot him in the gut, which gives us plenty of room to believe he survived the shot without any audience trickery. When Angela says "You did what you had to do" to Tyrrell, it made me think Elliott just thinks he was shot. We saw blood on Elliott's hands from Elliott's perspective, and the sad look on Tyrrell's face made me think it was because of the state Elliott's mind is in, rather than the act of shooting him. I really have no loving clue, but it just seems pretty dumb to risk killing him (peritonitis) by shooting him in the gut because of something that "had to be done" to someone who is so loved, as it were. But then again, the elevator sandwich guy could have been dressed as he was specifically to treat Elliott if he ended up "needing" to be shot.  this loving show.

crowoutofcontext posted:Both work in security. I really don't think White Rose was recalling a sister that doesn't exist, but rather just hiding the fact that he has an alter ego to an FBI agent. Edit: content I love the similarities someone posted about White Rose, Elliot, and their relationship with time. I never even considered that. I think it's great fun trying to figure out where this show and its story is going to go. Some of it is kind of confusing and it only made a bit of sense once I started reading this thread, but god drat does this thread dive head first into tvtrope forum territory. I can see why that one guy was worried about people theory crafting a 17, 71 connection.  But anyways, I think Joanna is an incredible character that completely blew me away. I've never seen a more cunning and loving surgical viper of character. Her eyes really help sell it. Cersi is a cold bitch of a character, but her demeanor doesn't hold a candle to the confidence and sheer willpower the character Joanna exudes. I'd be a hell of a lot more scared of being in her sights than Cersi. Cersi would watch and smile as I got stabbed in the back by a cronie, Joanna would be expressionless as she whispered my worst fears into my ear and raked the knife down my spine, all the while burning my soul into oblivion with a point blank   Now I'm scared.  someone hold me.

The Saddest Rhino posted:wait, i thought Whiterose's reference to a "sister" is just herself? Well technically yeah, I was just saying I didn't think it was an intended similarity worth mentioning but more of an excuse as to why a the publicly male Chinese Minister of State Security has women's dresses. Rather than pass it off as a fetish or gender identity, it's much easier to just be like "Oh, those are um, my sisters." Maybe there really is a twin sister!

waitwhatno posted:It's cold fusion I'll try. Everything you said, plus Elliot is either an android, or his brain has been altered cybernetically to become the physical manifestation of quantum computing software that is currently in beta until the Dark Army can harvest enough time until the device is actually built. Angela was just initiated into the program (  ) and now believes in a higher purpose for humanity. White Rose is actually the name of the new zetagonal core processor by Intel (a subsidiary of Ecorp) that can actually influence the creation of the computer from its perceived past, to become more efficient by basically updating it's own drivers, (like recruiting Elliot and Angela) from the future by making better choices in the past, and less reliant on humans with all their "wants" and "needs".Also, plus the Time Cop theory.

I hope they don't use quantum computers to "hack reality" after being kinda accurate so far. It would be such a massive jump from actual hacking, that it would sound plausible to everyone but the people who do actual hacking, which it seems is a good chunk of their audience. It would be a Big Bang Theory show level stretch. LOL World of Warcraft and comic books am I right?

sticklefifer posted:If it's not alternate realities, then they're loving with the theorists hardcore. Quantum state existence and alternate realities is more likely than him just being a rich and powerful crossdresser that doesn't sleep much? I really don't understand why creative exposition is getting interpreted as time travel and alternate realities in a show that does a pretty good job to try to represent it's main theme (hacking) in a factual way. I refuse to believe they will delve into some theoretical quantum physics-esque sci-fi/matrix time travel nonsense, and derail the show into 12 Monkeys territory. The writing has been so good thus far, and to completely bounce the plot off into some What the Bleep Do We Know level fuckery would be a massive letdown. That would be akin to Westworld ending with everything being the dream of a cyborg who isn't self aware, just programmed to dream.

So let's see, Elliot and Darlene are the same person, Wong is actually two people one male and one female, Irving is a time traveler, Joanna and Tyrell are a part of the illuminati, and Mr. Robot is an actual person. Mr. Robot created a time traveling machine in the future to come back in time to set in motion a series of events that will bring him back together with his son. Using the hadron collider he and alternate reality female Wong, have managed to build a quantum computer that will allow him to exist in a state of flux between two realities, but can only appear to Elliot as an alternate personality because that is the only way for him to accept being able to speak with his father whom he thought had died. The loneliness brought on by being orphaned, caused him to make an actual alternate identity in the form of a sister. Irving was an old hacking buddy of Mr. Robot who managed to jump realities, and into the future, to help Elliot with the eventual creation of the quantum computer. Angela is actually from the alternate reality, sent as a puppet master to guide Elliot. This all makes sense now and makes this show the best thing on television. Esmail is a prophet. Edit: real talk, the show is really good, but this thread is basically the same thing as reading a Rick and Morty thread on Reddit.

Piriwi posted:I think Whiterose has been building one or more quantum computers capable of breaking E-coin or bitcoin. First create an economic crisis so people move to ecurrency, then destroy physical records so people are fully dependent on ecurrency. Then take control by basically holding the world economy hostage. This is the best, and most likely theory I've seen yet. Having money is useless when compared to controlling it's value. E-Corp can control the world's banks, control land, and even politics, but if White Rose straight up controls the value of the world's currency? That's real power.

Spoilering because why not. Angela sure didn't have any sense of urgency about her. Calmly and gingerly sorting through a pen holder, slightly glancing around a desk as if she misplaced her cup of tea on a lazy Sunday. Making sure everything is in it's place and undisturbed. Her part of the episode seemed to take forever. Her expressions and actions seemed like polar opposites. At first, seeing her walking around a riot as if it wasn't happening gave me the sense that she was going to be a total badass about all of this. She knows what's happening, isn't worried, and is going to seamlessly handle poo poo, and slip out pretending to be just another victim. Which she kind of did, only with the look of sheer and absolute soul shattering terror on her face. I couldn't tell if she was terrified, or in complete control. It couldn't have been both, she isn't that strong willed. It was a bit hard to see what Angela's state of mind was, and coupled with her scene moving slowly, it kind of took me out of the situation. It was a good episode and a lot of fun to watch, I just wish I would have felt more invested.

Who the gently caress has time to bother checking badges and scrutinize anyone during a riot? That whole part was dumb. Why does a security guard give a poo poo about an employee with an envelope, again, during a riot? Angela can bold face lie to her best friend's face for weeks, but a security guard sees her drop a badge and she fumbles through the least believable lie? "This badge belongs to my boss, it's sensitive material, and above your pay grade." Anything would have been better than pretending the dude stamped on the front is her.

The Dark Wind posted:Totally forgot about the particle collider at the beginning of the season, didn't register it. Right before the start of the dialogue with Whiterose, there's a random scientist guiding some other folks around and he says the following: Angela could just have been lied to and used as a pawn to undo what Elliot did. She is convincing herself she is doing the right thing because she is trying to avenge her mom. As soon as anyone in this show speaks in a cryptic and existential fashion, it gets taken extremely literally. If the particle accelerator is in fact part of a time travel machine, how are they going to explain that in any real world sort of way without sounding like hackers explaining the internet in a movie in the 80s? "You see, the particles collide and create black holes from which distribute protofluons through a gravity flux capacitor, which in turn is harnessed by this machine we've built that opens a gate to another dimension.  "Why bother being so accurate with the hacking, if you're going to just pretend a big complicated machine like a particle accelerator can alter reality and or time travel? That would poo on all the work they put into making the show seem plausible. Unless the "other reality/dimension" ... is ours.

d0grent posted:its not introducing it 4 years in, it started foreshadowing this stuff pretty heavily in season 2 Fans reading into innocuous dialogue isn't really foreshadowing though. Also, it would feel extremely out of place in a show about hacking that is actual. I think there is a huge misunderstanding about how accurate the hacking is in this show. That is to say, very. Blowing up ups's is a little extreme, but everything else has been very legit. This would be like watching Mindhunter, and one of the characters suddenly becoming psychic like Professor Xavier.

d0grent posted:Re-watch the scene. It was not innocuous dialogue. The whole scene was basically a big neon sign saying "Hey, here are White Rose's motivations!" This was the same scene where we saw hundreds of clocks filling a giant room all perfectly in sync in the upstairs of her house. Whether or not she's playing the emotions of her underlings by misleading them, she is still obsessed with time. That's been a thing since season 1 even, so these ideas are not coming out of nowhere. Who knows where the actual plot will lead, but to say there is no precedent to any of these projections is silly. Philosophical discussions about time don't necessarily have to be alluding to something literal either though. Being obsessed with time doesn't always mean time travel like the Doc in bttf. Like in this quote: Entertainment Weekly posted:The episode opens with a glimpse at some enormous piece of machinery, and there seems to be a big answer hidden in there. Is this mystery something we can expect to be solved this season? When he says "control her reality" I highly doubt reality refers to dimension, or timeline in a scf-fi way. He means it in the way that a human shapes their own reality. Their beliefs, their surroundings, their future. I'm altering my own reality now by posting in a thread. I'm not literally shifting into other dimensions. "I hack time." Isn't literal. It's a metaphor. I look at White Rose and Wong like Roger "Verbal" Kint and Keyser Söze. Him "hacking time" would be the equivalent of Kyser planning out every little aspect of his plan to the T, right down to predicted actions of people. If anything, White Rose is obsessed with trying to make a quantum computer that can predict the future. Entertainment Weekly posted:Just as a general question, totally disconnected from Mr. Robot: Do you think season 3 of a television show is too late to introduce the concept of time travel? He is right. Travelling through time in a delorean would gently caress everything up. But being able to predict it accurately, that would allow a person to tailor their actions, based upon the required steps one needed to take, to achieve any result desired. Hence being the master of their reality. Having so much faith in time, to just walk whatever path you need to, is more than an obsession. It's a belief. That's the kind of passion a world leader needs, that's what someone with ambition and more money than God needs. Belief. Not time travel.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I'm so glad Elliot had a backup plan to gently caress the Dark Army and I hope he does so repeatedly after all they've done. Except he didn't. Trenton did. She had an email rigged to send to Elliot if anything ever happened to her. He formulated a new plan to take down the Dark Army after learning everything could be undone. Elliot thought the plan was "all in". Now him and Mr. Robot are inadvertantly working together. I can't tell if Darlene just snapped, or if that was a setup to burn Santiago. I also can't tell how crazy Angela is. I feel like the show is leaning too hard into the "crazy" which just feels like a rug about to be pulled out from under us. Totally think the time travel stuff it stupid and bad, but I love how Elliot straight up drops the word timeline as he leaves the red car. Also this episode leads me to believe that my assumption that Elliot's father pushed him out of the window to save him is correct. I am more interested in that connection (Dark Army/Elliot's father) now too.

Music on point as gently caress. Starting to warm up to the time travel talk in the show because it's now getting so blown out, it's funny watching people melt down with absurd theories. I'm surprised some of the bad-at-tv people haven't jumped on the Superman time travel bit yet. Vera coming back is great, and even his line is laced with time travel bait talk. Bring on the 3000 word theories based upon one line of misunderstood dialogue!
