Mr. Robot 2x08 Reaction
sorry the video for the reaction is not great, it was corrupted for some reason but at least it’s all there

when you say the video got corrupted, i just hear elliot's dead-monotone voice saying 'kernel error.' oh no...i've been binging your reactions. elliott's voice it totally in my head again. 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘵! 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦.
- Feels like this episode is the most yall have laughed in one so far. There was some heavy shit in it, but I suppose it's fitting to be a little lighter with Elliot being absent hahaha. - The Angela karaoke scene is such a weird and awkward and vulnerable scene. It's one of my favorite sequences in the whole show - I love Darlene's little finger wag in the fsociety video when she says "for no reason" - Cisco does look very cute and smol, tbh. Especially in the scene where Darlene confesses she killed the woman. He looks like a sad puppy dog, because I won't lie -- my girl Darlene purposely tazing a woman with a heart condition right in the fucking chest is some hardcore shit. - Milena screaming "A WHORE" at (presumably) Cisco in the final scene and then later they're both like "Maybe it isn't what we think" gave me life XD
Damn, loving the Mr. Robot community of people here, good commentary all up. More people need to be aware of this shows existence.
RE Darlene knowing or not knowing Chinese, just because the text was subtitled for us doesn't mean she understands it. Cisco invited her to his place and then she sees he sent an image of her sleeping to the Dark Army. Not surprise she went smashy smashy with the baseball bat
That's such a good scene, it's almost comical in a way lol - *turn around* and WHACK
Kind of annoying how they read so many spoilers
Minus them being a little unnecessarily zealous about Dom and Darlene meeting and the comment in one of the earlier episodes about the show being like Fight Club, I think for the most part they've gone into it without any expectations, including not knowing the whole premise of the show. It's fine
btw, i remember someone told me but i can't find the screenshot i took of the comment. how do you guys synchronise both videos on the same screen? i usually watched one thing on the ipad and the other on my phone, but i had to buy a new laptop and i remember someone here told me that on a computer you can watch both synchronised.
I use the Picture-in-Picture Extension for chrome. Already on chrome you can right click and use PIP mode for youtube videos, but you need the extension to work for other video players. Just google it or go through the chrome web store, it's free and relatively easy to set up It's a little tricky if you're not used to it, but to sync you can use the timer and the audio. So for example, put both to the beginning, play one of them for three seconds before pausing it, get the PIP mode set up, then play the second one and when it gets to three seconds play the paused one so they're both playing at the same time. Then you can use the audio to finetune it by quickly pausing and then playing the one that's slightly ahead. It sounds really confusing but idk how else to explain it XD Someone might do a better job than me, or maybe my method is too convoluted Instead of PIP mode you could also have them be side-by-side. On windows at least you can just drag a window to the side of the screen to have two simultaneously open side-by-side. Then just use the same method for syncing.
sadly i can't watch the whole discussion right now but at least i can comment on the episode. another great one, first one in the show without elliot/mr robot if i'm not mistaken. well, good news for milena, seems like darlene is on her way to become an unhinged woman. but also... fuck cisco, of course you couldn't trust a guy who filmed another woman getting undressed to take a shower and the blackmailed the boyfriend. for darlene's sake i hope he's not dead, she already has enough with one cadaver. i agree with you, them not taking into account the person who owns the house could come back home at any moment is just a stupid mistake, and i don't think they would do such a thing, so maybe there's something more there. every episode i feel even more sorry for angela but at the same time she has her moments, like, the guy had it coming, but making fun of someone for an honest job made be a bit angry ngl. not for that guy personaly, but in general. hope she slowly starts getting her confidence back witouth having to drag other people down. dom is the funniest person on this show and her obession with lolipops is a mood honestly. i feel like both mobley and trenton are going to die soon, or at least be caught. i feel sorry for them. i think milena's head is going to explode the moment angela and darlene finally meet. i don't know if it's because i'm used to be dissapointed but idk if those two are going to have a happy ending anyway, so i'm trying to get my hopes in check.
I've seen the whole show and I still don't know how to feel about that Angela scene. On the one hand, I'm really glad she stood up for herself. On the other hand, she couldn't find a way to do it without putting down people trying to make an honest living for themselves? It reminded me of Tyrell putting down that waiter, except you expect that from him lol
It's a small detail but it's really great, the 5/9 incident happened on this day because it's Elliot's father's birthday he was born on May 9, 1949, we can see that on his memorial in the cemetery, s1 episode 9 and the time that Elliot initiated vera's operation when he hacked the prison and open all the cells in s1 episode 6 was 9:49 like his father's year of birth.
Darlene knew she might come and she didn’t mind because she wanted to kill her. In fact that’s what she chose her house.
I agree but Darlene would've still been checking the GPS in that case. I think they just weren't being that careful after almost an entire month in the house. It's not unfeasible that they got used to being there, and with the chaos going on someone wasn't looking at the GPS for the hour that it took Susan Jacobs to take a train back to NYC
These are my favorite things in the universe right now. Glad you’re loving the show! Can’t wait for your next reaction :) you’ve said it yourselves but every single episode is like a movie and so I find myself being so excited for you to get to every single episode
Small easter egg, btw. Among Susan Jacob's google searches you can see "swimming pool David" and "David Hockney". Putting them together and there's a pretty iconic painting by David Hockney called "Pool with Two Figures": https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a5/Hockney_Pool_Figures.jpg Obviously there's so many easter eggs in this show that I almost don't want to open the floodgates, but I thought the Mr Robot fans might appreciate this one because I *think* it's relatively obscure -- I only found out about it a month ago.
In regards to the group making dumb decisions, I thin the intro highlighted they were brought together and created the 5/9 hack under Elliot’s leadership. They came together to meet him, they stayed together and worked on 5/9 because of him, and now that he’s not with them they’re kinda lost on what to do. The party and flyers being made wasn’t under the instruction of Elliot, probably would’ve done a more thorough sweep and find the bullet casing if he was there, would’ve caught Mobley inviting DJ Mobley, definitely wouldn’t allow other people to join Fsociety and see their faces, shut down the idea of using Susan Jacob’s (high level person at E Corp) place and even if he did, damn sure would’ve kept tabs on her. Just a constant string of bad decisions without their leader.
True and Romero was the one guy who even if he didn't like Elliot, he understood the value of his leadership. "Our fearless leader has disappeared on us"
For LM and anyone watching along, just a couple things you may have missed (no spoilers past what you've already seen) 1. The Dark Army that met up with Cisco in the library stuck a needle into his finger and then broke off the needle instead of pulling it out, it's a pretty fucked up torture technique. 2. The blackmail the fsociety crew found on Susan was a "Petraus scandal" which is referencing a real life CIA Director and former military intelligence officer whom had a shared email account where they would write messages to each other in a saved draft on the account to avoid email/IP Address tracing to discuss questionable things. Susan was using the same technique with presiding judges on cases she was working on to presumably get rulings in her favor. 3. Been mentioned here a few times already but just so it's known, the name of Angela's boss is Philip Price the CEO of ECorp most often just referred to as Price. Terry Colby was the former CTO who was the guy that Angela met up with at his house at the end of season 1.
For future reference, E Corps CEO's name is Phillip Price.
Lol they keep forgetting the name of one of the best characters in the show, but they will see

POST CREDIT SCENE IN THE FINALE :)
I love Elliot so much, but the one episode without him in it ends up being probably the best one in the whole season. The prison storyline went on a little bit too long IMO, so it's nice to finally get an episode where the story really gets moving. So much happened here. Also fantastic reactions and discussion, this is one of my favourite videos from you. I can't wait to watch you experience everything that's still to come.
Haha, yes almost as long talking after the episode as the length of the episode, great stuff!
Yeah this is basically "paranoia" the episode, haha. Something about the walls all closing in and not knowing who to trust gets me, makes it one of my faves
Time to start the ole "DON'T FORGET THE POST-CREDIT IN THE FINALE" comments~ Your favorite lol
Hey I feel like we have permission to spam it since they told us to remind them in one of the final s1 episodes, remembered, and then almost forgot it in the finale haha
Rest in peace Howard Hamlin's Wife. First, Lalo killed Howard in the most saddest way possible, and now Howard's wife has been murdered by Darlene! The Hamlin's just can't catch a break!
"I thought I was meeting Elliot" is such a witty meta line for the first scene of this episode after how the last one ended
