Mr. Robot 3x10 Reaction

Oh oh, also in a fun little nod to those of us that do web development. A "if you know, you know" nod to us. DOM in the HTML world is basically the makeup of any webpage you visit, and *sometimes* you need to lookup certain elements on a page and change them on the fly, or in other words manipulate. SO basically, Sam has been gently hinting that "Dom manipulation" was going to be a thing in the future this whole damn time 🤭 that clever sunnovabitch. 😁

Wonderful reaction and glad to see you two already saw the first episode in season 4! Could you imagine having to wait 2 years to see the change from the season 3 finale to the opening of season 4 like those of us that were watching it in real time? 😋 Every season before it was a year apart, season 3 to season 4 was 2 years apart.

I didn't realize until this watchthrough that the song as Whiterose's man was driving up was Chinese version of "Bang Bang" by Nancy Sinatra. What foreshadowing.

Definitely feels like it went by pretty fast. In the beginning I said I think once a week is ideal, and I still stand by that because of how big the episodes are, but I can't deny the dopamine-chasing part of my brain is happy we got twice a week. I'm really glad you said this could end up becoming one of your favorite shows and it's been great watching the surprise at how much there is to it gradually unfold. Quite the journey from the first episode which is exemplified by the amount of parallels this episode has to it, making it really feel full circle.

Overall great ep and reaction. I think the final scene emotion-wise was a little mixed because of your interpretation of the train scene (and you missed Darlene saying "I'm here to remember for you" which is one of my favorite really sweet lines between the two) but you recognizing the artist was cool. As a finale, despite things being very un-cathartic and in-the-middle with the majority of the characters, for Elliot it feels very satisfying compared to the end of S1 and S2, and finally it feels like something has been completed, with Mr Robot and Elliot on the same side as well as Elliot trying to alleviate all the harm he's caused.

I don't get why Lola was so perplexed by Dom not being desperate to save her life and being defiant against working for the Dark Army. She had already accepted her death by that point and is then told to betray everything she stands for, so obviously she's not going to be clamoring to accept that offer lol

So happy to be there for these reactions and discussions. im so excited for the next season!!

so many comparisments with lalo but i always saw the axe scene as box cutter lol

Do you know how Sam esmail looks like…maybe you should…and his wife…just saying…

This is the one show that can successfully transition between two different scenes during the peak of it's climax, switching back and forth between the Barn & Angela's side story was done SO beautifully. Usually shows just focus on one scene at a time, I just love it.

Great reaction to what is probably my favorite episode of the series. All my next favorite are from season 4. You're in for a ride.

What an incredible season finale. Stunning episode, stunning reaction. It's hard to know where to start here, and what to focus on. I guess it's worth saying that Irving's whole interaction with Dom has been stuck in my brain since I first saw it. I will never forget "DOM, I'M GONNA NEED VERBAL CONFIRMATION THAT YOU'RE GRASPING THE DETAILS OF THIS AGREEMENT". It's psychopathic and perfunctory. The ending sequence of the episode is a masterpiece. I should have guessed that Lola would recognise the M83 track based off her earlier recognition of songs lol. They show a clip on the TVs in the show from the Christopher Reeves Superman movie where Superman flies around the planet Earth to turn back time. I've watched the sequence a bunch on YouTube and there's this comment I think is worth sharing from "Taresh Patel": "The scene is so cathartic. Imagine being so blindingly determined to do something, and then being in denial that you made the wrong choice. After finally accepting he made a mistake, he finds he has a chance to fix his mistake, and the fix had come from a part of himself all along. And in the moment he has the email in front of him, it’s like he has the power of god in his hands. The power this guy wields is incredible at points in this show, he is like a superman." I think about this comment a lot. It's hard not to mourn a great show as you reach what you know is its final season so I'd just say, enjoy it while it lasts, because its rare a show has such a great and satisfying journey all the way through.

When I saw Fernando Vera in the end credits scene I was honestly pissed. I thought "why do we have to endure another side story with this asshole." I should have had faith in Sam Esmail.

well i'm tired as hell so the 40 min discussion will have to wait for tomorrow. but damn, what an episode. probably one of the most intense for me on this show. i was sure dom was not going to die but i still got a bit worried ngl. i mean... i love darlene but fuck, she really did fuck dom's life completely. not sure if this is a ship that could have a happy ending because dom just had to throw her morals out of the window and swallow her pride just to keep her family safe because darlene used her. irving is creepy as fuck. i mean, he's an interest character for sure, but i really didn't need to see him chopping santiago like that. speaking of santiago, i do feel bad for him. knowing how they got to dom i'm sure they had him working for them by threatening his mom and the rest of his family. white rose is not seeing heaven omg, i need someone to shoot her in the face asap. i am scare for what they're going to make dom do next season. well, i was right after all. i've been suspecting about price being angela's biological father for more than a season i think. feels good to at least get one thing right. surprised angela survived the season. i hope she does not die but i still believe she will pretty soon. i also suspected about elliot jumping pretty much since the beginning. now we just need to see if mr alderson was abusive or not. well, at least we know he was a shitty dad for darlene. well, the hack is undone and i believe shit is about to hit the fan big time. still cannot believe i have had the patience to only watch this twice a week along with the full. i want to binge season 4 so bad 😢

Are we ready for the massive Sam Esmail flex that is s4? (and some truly epic acting) :)

that m83 song at the end gives me chills, the show really knows when to incorporate them

It's pretty amazing they managed to top this season in season 4. Imo season 4 is up there with the likes of breaking bad season 4/5 as one of the greatest seasons of TV ever. Every episode is at least 8/10.

Santiago reminds me way too much of Markus from Arcane now that I'm thinking about it haha

On Dom constantly missing the Santiago angle: Until he sold out, he was likely a very important mentor to her. We are almost always given the full picture on how shady Santiago is acting and we've seen him murder an officer. We're not really dialed into who he is/was as a person because we've appropriately written him off as a scumbag. From his conversations with his mother and what we can infer from the Dark Army's recruitment method, this probably seemed like the craziest theory to Dom. She was so bright figuring out the 5/9 case, but Santiago was her blindspot.

Can’t wait to see you react to one episode in particular in season 4 (my favorite ep)

This is for sure one of my favorite episodes of the series, the editing between the scenes at the barn and outside are incredibly done. Angela breaking down is sad but cathartic as her denial finally gives way. Irving gets to let his inner Lalo show, and the final scene with M83 is similarly emotional af. Honestly a really good season finale imo. And Vera is back, for some reason lol!

Let's goooo! I was quietly hoping this would get posted early-ish. Time to wrap S3!

i'm really tired but i also want to watch the finale so bad https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/039/399/ddw.jpg

Time for the finale! I'm really excited for your reaction to season 4. It's my favorite season.

It does feel like you cut through it really quickly! 2 years ago, I would never have believed you both would watch my favorite show :D
