Holy shit. Chekov's Pulp Fiction ad.
"Pretty fucking far from ok."
Absolutely brilliant move, Esmail.
What a profoundly sad episode of television.

Oh my god, I need that piano cover of Where Is My Mind.
This show, man. This fucking show.

My first thought was "hah, this is very Fight Club Pixies sounding"
Then my second thought of "holy shit, this is actually the song"

The cover is by, Maxence Cyrin.

Yeah, after the first couple piano notes I'm thinking, "they wouldn't use the same song... would they?" But it worked beautifully.
EDIT:
Thank you. This is incredible.

No one else caught the Marcellus line/call back?
It was the final nail in it for me. Quoting Pulp Fiction without even really realizing it. More than the manifestation of it we've seen throughout the series, it was a tangible vision of how his father is always with him. (Also, holy shit, remember when those big ads actually had theaters and times in them???)
Truly artfully constructed and executed. You could almost see the echo of the two of them in the theater at the moment of that line in the movie. Totally perfect.

Another excellent episode of television. The way they handled Elliot reaching this revelation was superb. I wondered early on if the big twist with Mr. Robot being so obvious would make its reveal come across flat, but it doesn't. Not only because it focuses on Elliot figuring it out and not us, but they managed to pull off the great twist with Darlene a week ago in such a perfect fashion. I'm really excited to see where this show goes next.

Got home late and bf wanted to watch Suits first :lol
Did anyone else not buy the Angela character this episode? I don't know if she had a relevant degree that we weren't told about or if it was just white privilege but why did she look surprised that she didn't get a job at that law firm? I could understand asking for an internship but an actual job. Gurl please.
The writers did a great job with the reveal imo. They could've spent a long ass scene juicing us up for the reveal with just him and Mr. Robot and then flashed back to all the times Elliot was Mr.Robot and shown him in his place, but they decided to actually give the viewer the benefit of the doubt and know that we have a brain. The two lines that went something like "I guess you probably knew it all along. I'm Mr. Robot" was all that was needed.
Great touch with the Pixies tribute as well.
I'm guessing that Tyrell will use Elliot to hack himself back into a higher position at Ecorp or another company, and maybe even frame the CTO or something.

I'm expecting that Tyrell will definitely want to see the fall of E-corp after all they have done to wrong him; however, I do agree that it may lead to him either assuming head of the company or another through the downfall.
Perhaps him gathering information on Elliot's operation is just a way for him to save his job and the company but the previews for the next episode make me think the hack will still happen.

Tyrell's wife gives no fucks about dude lol.
Man, this show is amazing. Really great stuff. I know some people don't really get the point of Tyrell, and neither do I yet, but I still find him very entertaining. When he's first introduced, you think he's Mr.Got-Shit-On-Lock but it turns out he is anything but calm and collected. Seeing his facade crumble week to week has been great. I'd actually like for his character to just be there for a while, even if we don't get firm rooting in the season finale.

Excellent. Assuming the finale sticks the landing, and I have no reason to think it won't, this will easily make my top 10 of 2015.
I know we've all said it a million times, but I still can't believe this is on USA.

Neither did I tbh until things no longer went his way, his downward spiral made his scenes more tolerable imo. Prior to that he was just dollar store american psycho
Another good episode, I wonder where christian slater will fit in with the rest of the series tho. Now that it's all out will they lose him or what? Would be sad to see him go tbh, but the curtains being raised kind of takes away from the mystique of him too.

I didn't love it but I can't really be mad at the show for going where I expected when it did it so artfully. I'm glad to see so many people commenting on the piano cover of "Where is my Mind," too. Great artists steal.
I ordered an fsociety t-shirt this afternoon which I will wear proudly, assuming it arrives on time, next Wednesday. Long live Mr. Robot. I can't wait to see how much more human than human the pairing of Tyrell and Elliot is.
