Mr Robot 2x04 Reaction

the guy Joanna is paying off is basically stuck between a rock and a hard place. The government is only allowing people to receive $50 from banks due to the hack (someone has mentioned this already in the full reaction post). He needs money but he doesn't want to be involved in Joanna's whole cover-up of Tyrell's car. He's begrudgingly taking the money cause he really has no other choice if he wants to survive in the current state of things. Not sure what the FBI could do with Tyrell's car either but I suppose it warrants Joanna giving him hush money. If I had to guess, it'd probably conflict with Joanna getting Tyrell's severance pay sooner which she desperately needs as the bodyguard said their funds are running low.

is Mr. Robot 2x03 reaction out yet? i dont see it

Like I mentioned I feel with Tyrell, Elliot sometimes has these almost childish innocent moments that endear him so much to me. I think it's because of the contrast of him being this badass hacker who confronts people when he owns their information and feels powerful causing we as the audience to be accustomed to him having a plan and being able to let him take the wheel, but when it comes to psychological battles he seems so helpless. It's a small thing, but even just him hearing Ray's outlook on life and then asking us what we think about it in the past few episodes... It's an interesting moment to me where it sort of breaks down those walls of confidence in the protagonist and shows how reliant Elliot is on other people when it comes to inner issues.

you guys picked up on stuff way quicker than i did, excited to see where this goes

i have never felt so seen in my life or related to reactors than with you two watching this show. we're on the same fucking boat because i have no idea of what's happening either and feel completely stupid while watching. at least you two are smarter than me because i'm not sure if i would have thought about elliot being held in a mental institution or prison on my own but since you mentioned it i have been thinking about it and now it would make sense (though i seem to be changing my mind constantly) but i agree that there seems to be plot holes. but i guess it it ends up being true they will solve those for us. though i'm more inclined towards him being on prison. maybe krista is visiting him once or twice a week and he's just imagining her office idk. other reason i feel so seen is because milena's face just light up like a christmas tree whenever dominique/dom/whatever she prefers to be called is on screen. like, that's me watching anything with lesbian/bisexual women characters that i know they'll get together or at least will have some kind of romantic relationship at one time. anytime they're on screen i'm like "now kiss". also, the way lola started singing the winner takes it all one second after i did the same when someone said 'winner takes all'. actually made me laugh. now, if he's on prison or in a mental institution i can't think of how this doug judy (sorry, can't remember his name) comes to play. like, is he a guard/doctor or something? it just doesn't make sense and every time he's on screen my head hurts because i can't figure him out. i feel slightly better about angela this episode, she seems to be more in control but i'm afraid of where the character is going. lastly thought i probably forgot many things, the chess scene on the park reminded me to this scene of one of my favourite shows ever. this is actually from one of the best episodes in tv i've ever watched 'if-then-else' and definitely in my top 10 of episodes ever. for context he invented an AI who everyone calls 'the machine' and this is a scene of the early days where he's trying to teach her about human value. the scene and the one in mr robot are nothing alike but at the same time reminded me a lot to it and i loved it. https://youtu.be/iz5EFsSbQ7U

Fun little note I'm not sure many people know. All those chess matches Elliot and Mr. Robot had were EXACT recreations Rami and Christian had to memorize of popular professional chess matches that ended in stalemates (ties). 🤓 I'm also a little surprised Lola who seems to know every song as it pops up didn't recognize the slowed down piano rendition of Green Day's Basket Case for the Elliot lulaby dream sequence. 😚

So many great scenes in this episode. I love the chess match. The dread from Darlene. Elliot deciding to "fight for the future [he wants]" and that music kicking in at the end. This season is sooo good lol (and next seasons even better)

My fave show all time, loving these! happy holidays too :)

Unrelated to this episode but I finished Mr Robot recently and I can’t wait for yous two to see episode 407 (s4 ep7). Tv like that episode is what this channel was made for🔥🔥

After rewatching it now, this episode is even better than I remembered. So many important details that make up the entire show. Also, I love the hoodie on Lola. :D

Lola with the Elliot hoodie XD Give it a few episodes and she'll all of a sudden be coding in the intro or something

YESSSSSSSS

You Girls need to react to Sagrada Familia, the new series with Najwa Nimri and Alba Flores!!!!

The guy in the beard is the guy watching the cars when Elliot woke up in tyrells car
