Nice

Nope, not any more. They scan and shred the original. Yes, I work for a financial institution. All documents are stored on disk and have the same legal standing as the original paper.

As for the show, it's my new Breaking Bad. I make sure to be in front of the tv Wednesday nights. Even though I hate hackers and would support a finger decapitation law if it were proposed.

Great show, only sad thing is that a predictable upcoming plot twist (fsociety boss is his imagination and really he is the boss of fsociety) makes the episodes until the twist is revealed a lot less interesting.

To me there is no doubt, it is 100% guaranteed boss dude isn't real. If it ends up not being the case they levelled us very well, with it being hinted so obviously and there being other things that are so obviously his imagination (like agents following the girl in the subway).

No one else cares but it really bothers me that they chose a Danish actress as the wife of Tyrell. Seems so unnecessary. Quite sure it was hinted that she was Swedish based on the maiden name in his password.
Also i can barely hear what she is saying!

I really hope the upcoming twist is that Mr Robot is real.

At this point the show, whilst good, looks like it's heading for a brick wall. It needs a time is a flat circle episode where everything clicks and it moves to another level and just confirming what most guessed between ep one and two isn't that.

The Mr Rabbit reveal worked in Utopia because it was obscured well. Mr Robot being a psychosis is pushed too hard in scenes like the bar.

that a show like this could share the same network as WWE RAW makes it a great time to be alive man.

Giving it a 10/10 so far but also realize it could all go tits up soon.

Burn Notice was good and it was on USA.

You're pretty smart, or good at watching tv.

Best show right now. Soundtrack is really good too.

The only hole I thought of is, if Portia Doubleday's character had her Dad's info hacked. They are ahead of the game, why can't she just call her Dad and tell him to freeze the accounts/change the passwords before the hackers commit identify theft. They didn't think her boyfriend would tell her, so she has a head start to stop the damage.

Am I really off base there? I just think they aren't really handling this as neatly as they could be. When you're setting up a Sixth Sense/Fight Club/Beautiful Mind twist in 2015 I would hope that filmmakers would have tried to learn from those examples, tweak the formula a little. Instead it's pretty much exactly the same thing.

It's just lazy and derivative, and the thing about the show is that it's more than entertaining enough not to need it.

That episode was surreal. Between this, Hannibal and True Detective I'm starting to feel quite stupid when it comes to figuring out what is going on on TV shows. It's still interesting though. At least they aren't USAing it up so far, if anything they seem to be going in the opposite direction.

My post episode 4 reaction

I'm not really down with this level of wacko.

I wasn't being sarcastic, I was sincerely impressed by your analysis. They aren't handling it well if everyone knows what's up but I doubt many people picked up on the absence of transition scenes.

Haha ok. Sarcasm on the internet, you know?

I could see someone thinking that discussion of how a twist that hasn't happened yet isn't being done well is overly nitty, "it's just a TV show".

But I think that's why it seems worse in this than it does in movies, because in movies the fake character gets introduced and exposed in the space of like an hour, you don't have time to sit and think.

If the Sixth Sense was 4 hours long you'd start wondering "why has nobody except the kid talked to Willis?" before the actual reveal. Especially if during that fourth hour the movie had a really boring and trippy dream sequence.

OTOH, I was being sarcastic. Mr. Robot is 100% in Elliot's mind. Nobody just walks into the work area of an internet security firm and sits on the desk at somebody's work station. Reception makes the visitor wait until Elliot comes out and brings him in (and that's only IF they even allow escorted randoms in the office).

A female coworker walks by not 2 feet from the stranger and never even glances at the guy sitting there not dressed like he belongs.

The theory did not get stronger with that scene. It was confirmed with that scene and the bar scene reinforces that. Note the bartender looked at Elliot askance, like he was thinking "this guy's a nut".

You don't need any intermediate scenes to confirm this. The inference should be automatic.

The bar scene is what cemented it for me as well.

I'm not liking this show as much as most of you though. It's a summer show, so I'll tolerate it but it wouldn't make my Fall line up.

Why would this blonde girl knowingly upload malicious software to a cyber security firm to avoid IDENTITY THEFT. That whole storyline just seems really really silly to me.

I'm really liking this show so far...but if it turns out that Elliott and Slater are Fight Clubbing it, I'm going to be disappointed.

In one of these scenes last night didn't a character other than Elliot talk directly with Mr Robot? Could have sworn that happened but not sure if its happened before -- course that happened in Fight Club to so not sure it matters.

Ya that did happen. Can't remember who it was though.

Did not happen, but people speaking to Elliot sometimes looked to the side, I.E where mr robot stood so it kinda looked like it, which I guess was the point


EDIT: ^^ hmm, I guess I have to tripple check. Mr Robot have never spoken with someone else whithout Eliot being around tho

The guy guarding the drug den did but that was part of Elliott's delusion that went on for way too long. Also the black guy but he's probably fake.
