Him referencing Trump would be rlly weird if it was a flashback

Trump announcement date:

June 16, 2015

And the show is in July, 2015

current season?

So we agree then, it's probably not a flashback?
I also thought it was pretty obvious that the thing he wanted done was what White Rose needed to get the bailout from China. And his book's title fits with him trying to clear his name (The Last Honest Man). Finally, the conversation also didn't feel at all like it's a CEO talking to his CTO.

EDIT: Btw you are totally right that it's more likely that a random book from a random CTO would be trending on Amazon rather than a book about a CTO who was employed at the company that just caused the world to grind to a halt and is/was also suspected to have played a part in it. Makes complete sense.

I thought Ollie, Angela's ex, gave Dom Cisco's description.

bbfg, Trump was making noise he was running in February, 2015. If we're over a year ahead of the timeline in real life, then obviously it gets harder to tell what's a flashback (Esmail doesn't mark flashbacks, fyi) in that timeline.

Remember (it's hard to put this together so far down the line, and the internet hasn't been particularly helpful), Colby wasn't arrested for the 5/9 hack. He was arrested for something else. If you think it's believable that he's out of prison, exonerated, written a book, gotten a book deal with buzz, etc. (completely outside of the audience's view) in roughly 3 months (right on the heels of a global financial crisis that would make him invisible) based on the show's timeline, then great. I'm not going to back and watch the show again, but I sure thought he just disappeared toward the end of season 1, and that was our first new view of him. It would seem remarkably stupid for Price to have been having those kind of discussions with a former employee who's writing a book. When I see that character in a normal situation, talking like he's a person in power (rather than someone disgraced) with a person in power, my brain's going to internalize it as a flashback even if it's not, due to how Esmail treats flashbacks. That's solely because it's just not plausible for him to be having that meeting in that place to me.

This show requires a huge suspension of disbelief. It's easier for some than others. That's the problem when you try to have real world stuff coincide with fiction, and then you end up with a timeline that is wildly behind current times despite trying to be current or ahead of the curve.

Thanks for the game over on flashback gifmeister.

Whoever wrote that re-cap doesnt even know why joanna called him Ollie, lol

To me it looked like a pretty good representation of what happens when tempered glass breaks, but I'm just somebody who knows what he's talking about.

I might be in the camp that the scene was a flashback, though.

When it started, I was like huh, no flashback this week?.. It seems like nearly every episode has begun with a flashback this season.

Also, they are discussing the Congo. The answer lies in that part of it.
When those characters met on-screen in the post-credits of the finale, White Rose brought up the Congo. I cant recall the exact phrasing, but I think that dialogue would make it clear.

So, you just happened to miss the giant shard of glass that looked like it was going to land exactly on Darlene? The shot in the gifmeister's post (first machine gun shot) is what I think you describe (hole with spidering). The giant shard is something different once the entire pane explodes, and there are also other giant shards in the shot. Look at iconoclastic's gif to see it. I have no idea how glass like that shatters in real life, but if it shattered the way it did there, Darlene is in trouble. I'm not sure how you think you can prove otherwise, unless you're just saying that glass like that has no sharp edges once it behaves the way it did there. No matter how accurate you *think* the overall shot looks, that is a bad visual effect certainly not intended to be seen as closely as it was in the internet examples.

The gifmeister's post proved that it was a flashback, as what he quoted came from the USA network website.

Yes, you've made that clear. I do, and I've just told you it looks pretty much exactly like that scene. There are no shards.

Look at this gif if you have not.

Are you saying that no one would get cut by any of the large pieces of glass falling out of that window (specifically the one appearing to fall directly on Darlene)? Are you saying that glass in a potentially 40 year old plus building also has this kind of safety feature?

From an NYC glass storefront's website:

Pretty sure that doesn't apply to machine gun fire, but I could be wrong I guess.

I'm saying you have no idea what you're talking about, which you have admitted yourself. I know what the different types of glass are. I know how they break. I'm telling you that part of the scene is fine and you're wrong. Why in god's name would you continue to argue this point?

I'm not arguing, I'm asking you to explain what would happen with that glass (all you said is it was accurate, you did not describe any effects from a set of machine gunned projectiles). I'm also asking if a piece the size of what was appearing to fall on Darlene can cut someone? The piece that fell on Darlene was a clearly added visual effect (it just appeared out of thin air), meaning they probably had a purpose for why they wanted that piece to appear to fall on her. If they were intending her to be shot, they did an absolutely horrible job of showing that. If they intended to hurt her with the glass instead, they showed it well, but you're saying there's no chance she would be hurt (I guess).

So, again, what would happen if the edge of a piece of glass like the one appearing to fall on Darlene hit her in the neck or face? If your answer is "nothing", great. I've found in multiple places that you can be hurt by tempered glass, just not as badly due to the small sizes of broken glass. One instance where it said you can be hurt is when large pieces do not disengage (such as in the gif). I doubt there are many examples of what would happen if someone shot through one of these windows with a machine gun and you were sitting next to it (if you weren't hit by the bullets).

Yes, that is tempered glass in the scene, the piece that look big are not, they will break into a thousand pieces by the time they landed. They will use that wherever there could be a liability, all shower doors, bathroom windows, sliding doors, and store fronts etc.

I installed a patio sliding door and broke one of the panes, it cracked into a thousand pieces but stayed together until I started to remove it, it would just falls in pieces.

this show is the ****ing GOAT

That guy is bad with a machine gun. He's hitting the Lupes sign hanging a foot over their heads from three feet away.

anyone knows who the two guys that approached Angela right after Elliot left (sick timing btw) might be?

his first bullet made the guy's head explode. doesn't really get much better than that.

That last assassination scene was fabulous. I liked how Dom, FBI agent, bravely popped up to shoot the assassin and then comes onto the street with blood on her face. I'm pretty sure Darlene is alive for story reasons.

The guy, Michael Cristofer, who plays current Ecorp CEO Philip Price has been doing a terrific job all season. He commands the screen.

Liked the kiss scene between Angela and Elliot. Makes them seem more complex than just rebels.

It could be that the cellphone caller to Joanna is Scott Knowles whose wife Tyrell killed or that Knowles has taken Tyrell prisoner. Who knows?

That is very interesting, that maybe mr robot turned tyrell over to Knowles.

lol it's just easier to put Nun on ignore.
