Mr Robot 1x08 Reaction

You should try to go back and watch some of the earlier scenes with Darlene and Elliot again, like the first time they interact. It's crazy how in your face it is from the beginning.

I can't download any of your YouTube reactions to Mr. Robot. I've set my VPN to US, Canada, United Kingdom, and Japan. I can download other YouTube videos, but not Mr. Robot. Anyone else having this problem?

hadn't realized you guys started reacting to Mr. Robot but when I noticed one of your uploads on YouTube I immediately resubscribed to your Patreon and caught up! I knew you two were going to absolutely love this show. I'm sure this will end up on the top of your guys' list of favorite shows once you reach the ending. Just thinking of how great the other three seasons are has me excited to see you react to certain episodes/moments. I look forward to more!

Love when they're reacting to Tyrell when he comes into a scene, they make the same facial expressions as all of us whenever we see Tyrell. His character is so good lol, I love the chaotic element Tyrell brings to the series

Same, Milena. It's funny how Tyrell is less creepy and more pathetic after he murders someone rather than the other way around I like how guilty Tyrell is in the scene with his wife. The way he so clearly tries to get her to think that they should murder Sharon Knowles so that he can pass off his mistake as a stroke of genius is such a childlike thing to do. We've all had that moment where we don't want the confrontation of revealing we fucked up so we try to find a way for the other person to think it's not a big deal before we say what it is

I love how big of a reaction you had to that first scene with Angela and Darlene. Because of all the theorizing it ended up being such a big moment. For most reactors I've seen it's sort of vague confusion, like 'Huh? I guess they know each other'. And Lola saying 'It's happening, it's happening' just like Elliot XD. True Mr Robot fans already It's definitely a good idea to hold onto and cherish the wholesome cute moments in this show Also, don't cut out discussion thoughts! Even if what you say is a crazy theory it's still entertaining. Remember the Ackerman Warrior theory?

Unless I'm missing something, Tyrell's wife (Her name is Joanna for future reference) wasn't acting when the detectives told her about the murder, and she wasn't cleaning off blood in that earlier scene either. Remember Tyrell strangled the CTO's wife, so it's not like he would need to clean blood off of him. Her reaction was genuine and you can see her compose herself before inviting the detectives inside, since at that moment she connected the dots and realized what her husband did.

So great seeing your reaction to the sister reveal! And if you ever think you are over complicating things, don’t worry about that I’m not sure that’s possible! It’s got so many layers of things going on throughout and keeps adding more. And more things that redefine earlier parts of the show but fit in perfectly. So more wild stuff to come throughout all the seasons!

I'm so happy you could react to it without having it spoiled for you! This episode is so good! That ending is so emotional even if most people have the twist already figured out by then!

lola: darlene is sunshine me in my head: elliot is midnight rain okay, i'll stop with the taylor swift references. but you put that in a plater for me. i'll also stop commenting in this post. i'm sure you all are tired of my stream of consciousness type of comments.

Even though I didn't think Darlene was his literal sister, I had definitely been getting more familial vibes from their relationship, though I thought it was more of a found family thing. I like the revelation about Mr. Robot/Elliot's dad - I mentioned in another comment that I hoped the reveal wouldn't be that Elliot has DID (or a "split personality" as its still sometimes called). I know someone with DID and if that had been what the show was going for it wouldn't have been a good representation of it. I didn't like the idea of Elliot being Mr. Robot, didn't think it would make sense, and this reveal works a lot better for me. Haven't seen the last few yet, but I'm exited to finish the season!

okey totally unrelated but is that a triple band ring i see on milena's hand? i've been wearing a triple band silver ring on my finger for like 14 years. i am not exaggerating. my grandparents gave it to me one christmas ages ago because my fathed had a gold one and i loved it and always stole his ring but it was obviously too big for me. and i can count with one hand the amount of times i've seen someone wearing one of those. i even bought one for my crush in high school becuase she always stole mine during class lol

oh my fucking god? i fucking knew it!!! i havent watched the discussion yet but i needed to comment this. i started suspecting she was his sister a couple episodes ago. when the whole shayla thing happened. the way she worried about him was very sibling coded to me and if the revelation hadn't happened this episode theway she acted in this one would have made my therory even more cemented. such a great episode and the way the relealed it? cheff kiss. i also have to admit that my theory also started because i kinda see physical similarities between the two actors, specially in the eyes. and we all know how casting department work. just see olivia cook and tom (i forgot his surname), alicent and aegon in hotd, they have literally the same face. i think the cast department knew very well what they were doing when they casted elliot and darlene's actors. also, props to tryell's actor, he's doing a fanstastic job. he really plays the pathetic psycopath to perfection. all in all this episode was a 10. gonna watch the discussion now.

BIG moment I didn't acknowledge was actually superb writing until the second or third rewatch - the reason Elliot just dove into a kiss with Darlene was because before kissing Shayla earlier in the season he asks her if he can kiss her and Shayla just jumps right in saying after the kiss "next time don't ask, it's lame." 🤩

I was so hyped for their reaction to this episode. I love that they made 100 different theories but were still blindsided by the big twist. The best twists are the ones that make perfect sense when you think about them, but are still almost impossible to predict. The writers knew that everyone was waiting for the big Mr. Robot reveal, so they blew our minds with this instead. Fantastic writing.

The little brunette girl on the tricycle during Elliot's hallucination makes more sense now :) Also love the Tyrell talk! I believe his actor has said that he thinks the character has histrionic personality disorder, which involves excessive attention-seeking behavior and emotional theatrics. Would make a lot of sense. Show only gets more insane from here, glad you're enjoying!

The Darlene sister reveal is so so good. There’s a hint to this in the episode where Elliot is “on heroine”, when he shows up outside the empty area of land where the ‘404 error’ is shown (as in memory not found error), and a little girl cycles up, that’s his sister and it’s where their house should be but he couldn’t remember. Such a great show

Yeah the way they reveal the twist is great it's a good episode. This was definitely the peak of my interest in this season on my first watch through. However since it sounds like you've probably watched it all at this point I'll add that personally I think- -they shit the bed in the last two episodes. I've only watched Season 1, I assume that they came up with new things in the later seasons and they're good and the show was able to rebound, but I really felt after watching this season that the writer had like one central idea for the big twist and then everything around it was completely paper thin and hashed together, which is why you end up with side characters that don't really do or accomplish anything in this season with no real overarching direction or arc (Angela and Tyrell the big ones in my mind for this).. Hopefully the writer retconned that later and made them worthwhile.

LET'S GOOOOO!! :D
