Mr. Robot 1x10 Reaction

With regards to the DID portrayal: This show takes artistic license with the symptoms, in service of accurately portraying how it FEELS to live with DID and experience delusions/memory loss. Since this is a TV show, if Mr. Robot was a disembodied voice, we would know immediately he was in Elliot's head. It would make us just be observing his symptoms instead of being in his head. By making Mr. Robot a visual character, we are put into Elliot's shoes - we aren't sure if he is Real or Not. Overall this show depicts the experience of how d.i.d feels very accurately, especially as it goes on. It just has to use artistic license on the symptoms/method to get that across.

i'm 28 years old and i have never done drugs, not even weed, the closest thing to being high i've experienced was seeing MGMT live on a festival. now i have to add watching this episode and the one of elliot experiencing withdrawls to the list. i swear i spent the 54 minutes of this episode with a frawn on my face because i didn't undestrand anything that was happening on my screen. this is just a thought, so don't spoil me because i have not watched anything past this episode, but i don't know how to interpret darlene's situation in elliot's mind. all the pictures he had in the cd were of their dad, their mom and elliot himself. the only picture that had darlene in it was the physical copy. and now that he's allucinating his family he pictures all of them exept darlene. my iterpretation of that right now can go both ways, she was the only good thing in his life back then or something really bad happened between them as children so he tried to erase her or somoething like that. idk, i'm just really confused and i really want to keep watching but i actually like watching this at the same time they do. it's interesting watching an episode for the first time and listening to someone talk about it and how they interpret it right after. by the way, on that scene with tyrell's wife (sorry, can't remember the name) i actually thought "wow, she looks exactly like angelina jolie in this scene" and two seconds later lola mentioned the same. and last thing. i'm also confliced about angela right now. i really thought she joined them to "destruct them from the inside" but idk if that's where her storyline is going and i'm afraid because i don't really want her to go to the dark side.

Although the show has a ton of mystery, confusion and all around headfuckery, there is very littlevthat isn't answered as time goes on. The show isn't like Lost or anything....where there's just questions on-top of questions.

One season down! It looks like Darlene is the standout character of the season for LM :) I really enjoy all of Gideon's scenes. The man just cannot win, but damn am I always rooting for him.

maybe mildly interesting but the song played at the end of the ep is sung by alabama shakes who also have a song featured on the last scene of fleabag season 2 (the “itll pass” scene)

Yes, this episode is a big subversion. We think we are building up to a big event, perhaps the entire show, and it happens off screen, revealed in the first scene. As you will know by now, S2 focuses a lot on the consequences of the hack, which is more of an inciting incident than the main goal of the series. And it has a lot of surreal moments just like this episode which you're correct was very dream-like In retrospect I'm glad you two did watch the first two S2 episodes together. Initially someone suggested it and I was against it because I feel like people overdo the "Watch these episodes together" thing. But after skimming through them, the S2 premiere really is supposed to be one long episode separated by an intermission. If they were watched separately I think the opening episode of S2 would be less satisfying

Milena you're not alone. The scene with Elliot and Tyrell's wife was uploaded on Youtube literally titled "The most terrifying scene of Mr Robot" after S1 aired

the simple version, they didn't erase people's money, debt is sold, held, moved around as a financial commodity, so basically they erased the debt records that Ecorp was in charge of storing and maybe also owned much of? don't remember that detail clearly. people's retirement is basically experiencing ruin due to the markets crashing in the circumstances, Love the end credit scene! 👍

I can confidently say that it was definitely frustrating as it aired and having to wait a full year before more episodes but I really loved hypothesizing after every episode all the circumstances that could happen and I'm sure season 2 will fill that for LM as well. Oh and to lean into what Lola's main take aways from this episode were "I know nothing now." YEP!! Hahaha, every week when new episodes aired and my boss at the time would ask how it was I would say "very good...but I have NO idea what's happening."

Yeah this is definitely an offbeat and confusing season finale. Things DO get explained but the show delights in stepping off the path you think it's gonna take before fitting it back in. Looking forward to S2

to clarify the video on the USB does not belong to Mr Robot, it belongs to Tyrell. Tyrell a few episode ago says to Mr Robot in his car, "I know your secret", he wanted to blackmail Mr Robot to work for him at that time. The secret Tyrell thinks he knows isn't Elliot have multiple personalities, but I think Tyrell thinks Elliot is suicidal.

You guys going to do the double episode for 1-2 of S2 since it was released as a singular episode originally? :) Edit, nevermind, ya'll mentioned you would in this vid - disregard
