Yeah, it slipped back and forth so well and that was the right kind of dark and nuts for this show.
Agreed, that was such a tense scene.

For me when I watched it, there was no bleeping at all.

Loved that montage towards the beginning of the episode. Reminded me of Mad Men thanks to that excellent song.

How on earth does Adderall treat Elliot's obvious schizophrenia? I take that medicine, and it is more likely to do the opposite (psychosis). That entire sequence with
was very disturbing.

The ball goes in the hoop. Brilliant.

On this speech it's at this point we see him switch with Mr.Robot and he goes on this rant. But this time it's not in his head and he said it all out loud and I think that's fucking cool. A Mr. Robot rant by Christian Slater acted out by Rami Malek.

Couple thoughts:
- Overall, strong episode. While the episode did meander with Elliot's plot, the other characters (R.I.P. Romero) got some time to shine, with Angela's sub-plot basically setting her up to be the Mila Kunis to Price's Patrick Bateman like in the "American Psycho" franchise. Price is very obviously grooming her or playing her, and I really want to see where he goes with this.
- That adderall montage was amazing. The Rainbow Wheel of Death reflection in Elliot's eyes, the glitching out, the random code. This show is at its best when it plays with the medium and Esmail's directorial skills are becoming a major reason to watch nowadays.
- The insane asylum theory both gained and lost ground with me. On one hand, Ray talking about allowances with his dead wife is pretty strong evidence in favor. On the other, the fact he was just walking around, running a criminal enterprise of some sort, along with getting drugs slays it a bit. I guess we'll have to wait, but hopefully, its resolved sooner rather than later.
- I was watching with my dad when the show came back from commercial break, only to be greeted by Dom rubbing one out. That was mortifying.
- Dom finding their hideout gives me hope Sam's going to reveal a bit more about the three days Elliot blacked out. In addition, who's hunting fsociety? Who the hell killed Romero? Is there a coup in the works re: fsociety? So many interesting questions, such a long wait time.

I feel like a lot of these comedy guys do drama really well when given the chance. It's always nice to see them do something different and be great

Alright, can someone explain to me what's going on. I'm so lost on this show. I am sure I get it, but Im just very confused.
Elliot is continuously trying to block out his dad with drugs. And he doesnt want to sleep, because then he will become Mr Robot. But what does he do as Mr Robot?
What does he do with Daryl from the Office? Who is Daryl? I dont understand how he finds Elliot or knows him or what he does with him. Did Mr Robot befriend Daryl?
I get that Romero is dead and they think it's the Chinese hacker group, but they backed out of helping because of Gideon's spyware or whatever.
So that's a new mystery.
More importantly, what on earth happened at the end of last season with all those civilians wearing those masks? Didnt they crash the economy or something? How are things in society still functioning like normal for the most part? Why isnt there total chaos?
Why did the FBI answer Romero's death? Did they have a lead on F Society?

I have problems with that too, a bit too on the nose but I justified it as noone really knew what FSociety really was (or didn't take it very seriously) until the mass crash at the end of S1, and by then they had abandoned it.
So the VR thing didnt really work for me, I got it to load finally and saw Elliot talking for a bit next to me then lights flashed and the video froze, when I tried to reload it said internal error and the event was over. That would be funny if that's all it was and the internal error was intentional but I doubt. Anyone else get to see it?
I got about halfway through (if that), then it stopped working and wouldn't let me start watching again. Shame, it was really interesting.
Yeah it seems pretty silly to have a one time thing on the internet streaming, especially if it had problems they should do it again. Doubt many people actually got to see it through.
