There has been a gun mentioned in the last few episodes and there are camera speeches in the show. This is barely a spoiler or some out of nowhere twist we weren't expecting.

It's the right decision but you are 100% wrong.

As a viewer of Justified or LOST, one know that sort of thing is designed and engineered to come out of nowhere (AND I FUCKING HATE IT) but now it won't.

It's not a spoiler like "OMFG SUNITA MANI IS IN THE BEST COMEDY DANCE CREW IN NYC" but it ruins the impact of a scene directly.

It's kinda sad that the word "spoiler" has devolved into only discussing plot twists and shit in our society, as if individual moments aren't important to a tv show

USA got the Dark Horse Reader of television streaming services

we miss you viewatu

 

[chefbags]

Time to rewatch all the episodes for a week then

Fuuuuuuuuuck.

 

[ExpressGalaxy]

Has it been said if they going to edit out the scene in question from the finale or is it just merely a delay?

All that's been said is they are postponing it a week.

 

[Siegcram]

I doubt they'll pull a Hannibal and edit it out wholesale.

Mr. Robot The season finale will air in its entirety next Wednesday, September 2 at 10/9c. Tonight we will encore the penultimate episode of Mr. Robot at 10/9c.

On FB:

No wiggle room there. That's good. Plus I'll know when to lower the volume and pop on the CC so I don't get the Jump Scare.

 

[TripOpt55]

Damn that sucks that it is delayed though understandable. I'm the kind of guy who avoids previews and ads for the upcoming episodes too, so I'd definitely consider that bit in the delay announcement to be a spoiler.

 

[Storm Chamber]

On FB:

That's good to know

 

[a secret-boss]

Fuuuuuuuuuuu
I was ready for tonight. At least the delayed is warranted

 

[Curufinwe]

Good decision. But what a shitty fucking day it's been.

 

[metsallica]

Oh man, I've been snowed under all day at work but pushed through knowing I'd have this to come home to. Had no idea there was a shooting, definitely agree with the decision, but bummer.

Even worse bummer... it might make me watch S2E1 of From Dusk Till Dawn. It's the last thing on my DVR...

 

[maxcriden]

Just heard an interview this morning with the lead actor, now I'm interested in watching this. Hoping the previous episodes are streaming on USA.

They're all on Hulu at least. (And it's awesome. Watch it!!)

good luck bro
usa has the worst streaming i have literally ever seen in my life

This has been my experience too. Stick with Hulu! (It's only on your computer, though. I don't think they have the rights to do it through other devices.)

They are on their site as long as you have a cable subscription.

[Frog-fu]

Delaying the episode is the right move.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Well that's disappointing, understandable though.

 

[TheSeks]

"USA announces that tonight's MR. ROBOT season finale is being delayed a week due to a graphic scene "similar in nature" to today's shooting."

FUCK THIS

I dunno. I'm angry that they're delaying, but given the reasoning (they may have a shooting in a public place while being broadcasted, even if it's "terrorism"-like) I can understand.

 

[TheSeks]

On a lighter note: USA provides a Fsociety mask. But it isn't like the plastic ones.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Weird coincidence that the pilot or well I guess more post pilot was affected by a shooting that lead to Elliot's last name being changed because it his name was almost the same as the fuckbag who did the shooting and now the finale apparently having something apparently similar happening on the show as what happened with the fuckbag from this morning.

 

[NaM]

I understand the delay and seems appropriate, that being said: IT SUCKS.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

It's kinda sad that the word "spoiler" has devolved into only discussing plot twists and shit in our society, as if individual moments aren't important to a tv show

Spoiler

at some point in the finale Elliot will walk down the street

Spoiler

in another scene he will interact in some way with one of the other characters

 

[Josh with a J]

Ughhhh this sucks =(

 

[streetsahead123]

Wow, they can totally air the finale now because there's been ANOTHER public shooting so now we won't be distracted by the one from this morning. What a great country.

 

[NaM]

Is this airing on more countries? or is it just US?

 

[TheSeks]

Is this airing on more countries? or is it just US?

Depends: What countries get USA shows?

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

"USA announces that tonight's MR. ROBOT season finale is being delayed a week due to a graphic scene "similar in nature" to today's shooting."

FUCK THIS

That is unfortunate, but completely understandable. As long as they're not editing/censoring the episode beyond the delay, I'm okay with it.

RIP to the victims of the shooting.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

A bummer but understandable. Hope they don't edit it out.

I had this timed perfectly just coming into the show a few days ago, usually hate following shows week to week and prefer binging. Finished last week's episode yesterday and was all set to finish it off proper with several episodes being fresh in my mind. Oh well!

 

[styl3s]

If they do decide to edit i hope they at least put the unedited version on their site an any other streaming site (hulu if its on there, xfinity etc). I understand why they delayed it and it was absolutely the right call but when i watch something or read something or play something i want to watch, read and play the original vision. I am 100% fine with editing it for TV but at least give people the option who won't be so sensitive towards it the option to watch the original episode if they so please.

Reminds me of the Sarah Connor Chronicles school shooting scene that they cut out. I can't remember if they put it on the dvd/blu-rays but i do remember seeing it.

[Tugatrix]

Understandable but man I was so pumped for the finale, guess I'll content hearing some songs that made the soundtrack

 

[Zoe]

What was his original name?

 

[Officerrob]

Extremely disappointing, but understandable.

Now I'm interested. What was his original name?

 

[Frog-fu]

What was his original name?

Originally Elliot Rodgers.

They changed it to Elliot Alderson.

I commented on it a while back.

Anyone else notice they changed his lastname from Rodgers to Alderson? Most likely to avoid confusion with the sick son of a bitch from the Isla Vista killings.

 

[chefbags]

Originally Elliot Rodgers.

They changed it to Elliot Alderson.

I commented on it a while back.

Ohh that makes a lot of sense then.

 

[TheSeks]

Oh, wow. I didn't even think of Elliot Rodgers until you pointed that out. Huh. I think I prefer the changed name, honestly.

 

[Kreed]

Damn...I just caught up with all the episodes of the show and then I decided to come into this thread to get hyped for the episode tonight. I don't blame USA/they made the right call but damn this is going to be a long wait now.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

Episode's delayed? God fucking dammit.

 

[Tamanon]

Dammit. Understandable, but jeez.

 

[Komo]

Oh come on.

 

[biosnake20]

Ok so I haven't seen this show yet but i've heard a lot of good things. So is this show good for a USA show or is it good in general? Is it near the levels of like Hannibal/Rectify/GoT/The Knick?

 

[OdysseusVA]

I haven't seen Rectify or The Knick, but I would definitely place it above Hannibal and GoT.

 

[Discotheque]

The Knick
Rectify
Mr. Robot
Game of Thrones
Hannibal

Is the ranking imo. Though the last two could be swapped if ranking their latest seasons

 

[biosnake20]

Oh wow that is really high praise, i'm about start watching it then.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Delay? Ughhhhh...

 

[Battersea Power Station]

Are there any Chromecast-able apps that play this show?

 

[rexor0717]

The Knick
Rectify
Mr. Robot
Game of Thrones
Hannibal

Is the ranking imo. Though the last two could be swapped if ranking their latest seasons

This is a pretty decent list.

 

[BlackGhost]

Damn, but understandable.

They're not editing the episode:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=176643599&postcount=1692

Ok, I'd like to see it how it was originally planned.

 

[rezn0r]

Originally Elliot Rodgers.

They changed it to Elliot Alderson.

I commented on it a while back.

I forgot that rampage even happened, and it's making me mad that these things happen so much that I forget about some of them.
