That preview was pretty intense.

EPISODE ONE
MR ROBOT: Elliot, I need you to change an IP address in this .dat file.
ELLIOT: Okay! :)

EPISODE TWO
MR ROBOT: Elliot, I need you to KILL A GUY. :black101:
ELLIOT: :stare:

At this pace, episode 7 will feature large scale genocide.

I enjoyed the premiere, and i'll stick around for the sole fact that it's a USA original series that doesn't have anything to do with beach law or spy doctors.

Personally, I'm hoping for a Reverse Fight Club. Robot and fsociety know about Elliot's mental illness and they're conspiring to gaslight him into thinking he's losing it for real. Why? Who knows? Maybe they want him to take the fall for them after it's all said and done. If a bunch of people get hurt by fsociety, and Elliot thinks he is the entirety of fsociety, Elliot, being the weirdly moral person that he is, will probably turn himself in. It might not get them completely in the clear, but it'd probably buy them enough time to disappear and cover their tracks.

What if Mr. Robot turns out to be an actual robot?

Every time I see Rami Malek in something, it makes me wonder if someone cloned Michael Shannon with some Egyptian DNA thrown in. They've both got that intense stare thing going with their eyes.

Past due medical bills. Dozens of them. He's probably dying of something and either can't afford to pay them, or doesn't want to.

The first bill she looked at was from the radiology department of a local hospital.

I've seen a good 90% of all Law & Order episodes. Tyrell should have probably chucked her off the roof if he wanted to kill her and get away with it.

But nope. He not only kissed her and left his DNA on/in her mouth, but i'd imagine any NYC medical examiner worth their salt is going to try and lift some finger or palm prints off her throat.

And not just that, but wouldn't there be security cam footage somewhere on the way up to the roof of the two of them going up, but only one coming down?

You dumb, Tyrell.

Unless Tyrell has gone completely off the deep end and snapped, and doesn't give a gently caress if he gets convicted of murder, in which case, him being a sloppy murder doofus makes total sense.

Can someone put a good thumb on exactly what movie or movies the first song reminded you of? It's like if John Williams, Danny Elfman, and Philip Glass had a three-way. There's a bit of Star Wars and Home Alone in there but I still feel like it very specifically sounds like 1 movie and I cannot freaking figure it out.

I got a bit of Wizard of Oz meets Edward Scissorhands vibe from it. Very surreal.
