No idea what the chinese webcam hack was about though? I was half expecting it to be Elliot spying on that guy from work because hes a cheating douche.

I have a feeling the webcam hack has to do with that other group Mr. Robot mentioned to Elliot. He brought them in to help take down the Chinese side of the problem.

This show is loving amazing and that is why I need to force myself to stop watching now, so they don't ruin it for me. Good job with the show, I'm done with it. I love it, and never watching it ever again. Or maybe I already have watched it and I just forgot? poo poo! Tell me you're seeing this too?

If he is alive his daughter probably called him to tell him Elliot wasn't well and forgot she was his sister AGAIN.

What if.... everything is part of Elliot's treatment. Like Mr. Robot and Darlene are trying to help him work through his poo poo and he's imagining all of the hacker stuff, but what's really happening is he's working at his normal job and living his life. Everything else is in his head and we're seeing it all play out in his mind. Perhaps he'll eventually snap out of it one day and gain clarity. Like this is going to be the hacker version of Wilfred. :aaaaa:


Or maybe I'm a retard.

My crackpot theory about the Washington plant is it's a small scale nuclear weapon production facility selling warheads to the Chinese. That's almost too obvious though.

Not quite sure about that. The Chinese straight up has stolen plans for nuclear weapon systems from the US before. They are capable of making their own materials, but the delivery systems have been the issue. I doubt that the Washington plant has access to something that would normally be at Los Alamos. Then again if it did the Chinese would just walk in and steal it all like they did before. No need to buy it :v:

What episode sparked this time travel/alternate dimensions thinking?
The first episode of this season. Angela was already in agreement with Whiterose being able to undo/reset the world. Then we saw Whiterose in that giant particle collider.

If Back to the Future references are part of the time travel theory, I'm pretty sure Angela invites Elliot to get stoned and watch BTTF II in the first episode.

True. She says it was their favorite movie. I didn't even think about that when I posted earlier. :thunk:

Naw. We're moving back to a multipolar world. Unquestioned hegemony is slowly dying off.

You would think that the hacker who is analyzing files from another hacker's computer who they suspect is a bad faith actor would maybe do their analysis on an air gapped computer or something instead of attaching it to their entire network but I dunno this is just an international criminal cabal funded by the Chinese government that managed to blow up 71 buildings simultaneously within the united states.

Complacency is always a huge point of failure.

Rami's going to have to reshoot a lot of his Freddie Mercury movie now that it's no longer directed by Bryan Singer, which I bet makes any filming this winter challenging.

It's the Queen movie. The Freddie Mercury movie we all want is probably never going to get made because the rest of Queen wants the attention as well.

did I miss a post credits scene
check if you want
After the short credits there was a sequence with Darlene walking with a hooker as they talked (I think they just met as Darlene got off the train). A car almost runs them over at a crosswalk and kind of lingers as they walk away. They walk a bit and talk, mostly about the 5/9 hack/e-corp and how capitalism is hosed. They get to the stoop outside of Elliot's apartment and the hooker bounces as she notices the same car pull up. Like 4 guys get out and walk up to Darlene. The guy in front is Vera.
