I can't believe I actually remembered that Bud Light commercial. I'm old

Yep, took me back to watching crap Cub teams playing on WGN after coming home from school.

Whats the consensus so far on this season? It's really cratered for me the past few episodes in particular.

 

[Audioboxer]

Really liked that episode!

Also really enjoying season 2 although I'm seeing some lukewarm response.

I've absolutely loved it, as have those I've talked to about it in real life. Some people in the thread have found it boring, saying that nothing is happening, but I can't agree with that assessment at all.

Same.

It's not as telegraphed as the first season either.

 

[El Topo]

I must admit I didn't really like this episode much. I'm starting to lose my patience on how things are dragging.

 

[Matush]

I mean with beginning of this episode it's pretty clear to me that Mr. Robot is creative as Community was at it's prime time.

It seems a lot of people would have been happier if you cut out that whole sequence and made more things happen.

I'm glad they chose the route they took.

 

[Spoiled Milk]

Foot soldier's Chinese accent was actually hilarious

Absolutely stoked for the next episode. By the look of the preview I'm guessing that

Spoiler

we finally learn that Elliot really killed Tyrell

. Also, I'm very suspicious that

Spoiler

the Chinese helped fsociety with the hack so that they could cripple the American economy

.

You're not the only one.

People I went to school with now have college age kids, granted it's because they had them while they were still in high school but it still makes me feel old.

I wish they had let it run 22 minutes.

 

[Dominican Power]

Anyone know the script for the femtocell?

 

[Einchy]

They teased me hard with that late Mr. Robot tag that never came.

[edit]

I guess they had one in the retro intro but I thought for sure they were gonna have a normal one but at the end this time.

 

[bebop242]

This show is doing shit the world isn't ready for I swear to god.

Unfortunately I agree, I can't get anyone to watch this and its driving me nuts. This show deserves more attention.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

omg 10/10 episode



jeesus

 

[_Ryo_]

This ep really reminds me of the The Leftovers episode "International Assassin " and I love it just as much. aka A LOT!

Another thing similar to The Leftovers, Mr. Robots horrid ratings.

Why are the best shows on TV not being watched!? >.<

 

[Dominican Power]

WTF did that Chinese Dark Army guy inject Cisco's finger with?

 

[kirblar]

WTF did that Chinese Dark Army guy inject Cisco's finger with?

Nothing, it was a needle. It's a form of torture.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Yeah, I think it's becoming obvious they did not have much of a plan past the first season. It's become a big mess of style exercises and monologues.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

and yeah. I can't help but feel that Tyrell in the trunk thing is foreshadowing/a window to what really happened to him.

Elliot's memories slipping through the cracks. like the parallel of the road trip at the beginning and end of the episode

 

[saunderez]

fsociety could've made things so much easier for Angela.....sif you don't set up some aliases so she doesn't have to remember entire commands.

 

[wenis]

Indeed. Wouldn't be surprised if we find out he is actually dead after a long car ride in that escalade

 

[golem]

Haha I was thinking that the whole time

And why doesnt the femtocell try to keep its own wifi up at all times

Would have been more realistic plotting if it hard locked and she had to go back and physically reset it

 

[Nelo Ice]

Great episode but good god the first 20 minutes. I was cracking up and in complete shock and disbelief. Like omfg I can't believe they did that but I'm so glad they did. Glad I knew nothing about it before the episode.

 

[Zoe]

I think it's pretty typical of some hardcore nerds. It's so simple to them that they don't think to make it any easier.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Nothing, it was a needle. It's a form of torture.

I was curious also what he did.

 

[~Kinggi~]

That was quality product. And these fake websites are something else.

 

[Mix Master]

Starting season 1 tonight, need to see what all the hype is about.

 

[nvvman]

I was curious also what he did.

It looked like he just broke the tip off of an empty needle.

 

[Killthee]

It looked like he just broke the tip off of an empty needle.

Yeah he shoved the needle into his finger then broke it off and left it there to torture the guy.

 

[MegaManTrigger]

Man, that episode was something. The intro before we're brought back to real life was such a unique way of showing how Elliot loses time. Last time we had Elliot acting strangely different when he had his father's jacket, and now we're given insight into what happens in his mind when Mr. Robot breaks loose.

I think Tyrell Wellick being knocked on the head is the show's way of trolling people who think he's dead.

Oh yeah.

Spoiler

It was corny, but man, what a nice touch to have Mr. Robot breaking free because he wanted to protect Elliot from Ray's ass-kickings. Especially when tied to the flashback where Edward admitted to Elliot that he had cancer.

Season started really slow, but the last two episodes have been great.

 

[saunderez]

It looked like he just broke the tip off of an empty needle.

And I felt his pain.....Eugh.

 

[TheSeks]

It seems a lot of people would have been happier if you cut out that whole sequence and made more things happen.

I'm glad they chose the route they took.

A lot of people seemed pissed because the 5/9 hack 3-day gap of Elliot's isn't being answered, but honestly: I'm fine with it. We'll either find out what happened in the next few episodes or over the course of the series. Elliot has to deal with the aftermath and protecting his ass(ets) and Tyrell is one.

 

[anddo0]

Finally watching the latest episode. I can't stand it when shows do this. It feels throw away. I don't have the energy to make sense of it, and the humor isn't clicking. I'm 10 mins in, is the whole episode like this? Summery please..

It'll go away eventually.

I also thought this joke went on for too long. Sam Esmail has been extremely self-indulgent this season. I think that's the perfect adjective for MR S2, whether it's a quality season or not.

I kinda enjoyed the last two eps though (hacking scene was brilliant), sorta glad I didn't actually give up on it, but at this point in time it's clearly not going to be like S1 for me.

 

[CRS]

The 90s thing wasn't just an homage to the 90s, it served a huge purpose to Elliott and gave us a clue (whether to take that clue at face value is a different discussion) about what happened to Tyrell.

 

[Night Angel]

This season has been amazing for me. This episode is probably my personal favorite.

 

[-Deimos]

What the hell is this aspect ratio????

Also, time to rewatch Too Many Cooks.

 

[Dominican Power]

For the femotcell ip address, type in cd bin followed by ./EnableAttack femtopwn WLAN0,WLAN1 2

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

That was a hell of an episode.

 

[subtles]

Brilliant episode.

 

[Kworn]

What a great show. Started off a little slow but good and now it has reached new heights.

Can't wait until the final 4 of the season.

Have they renewed for a third season yet?

 

[Spoiled Milk]

My favorite episode is still kernel panic because we got to see Elliot eat pills out of his own vomit.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Angela and Darlene's scenes were great. Elliot's, on the other hand...not so much. That's sort of been the reoccurring theme this season, too, which is a shame.

I mean with beginning of this episode it's pretty clear to me that Mr. Robot is creative as Community was at it's prime time.

Doing a fake 80s/90s sitcom episode isn't exactly creative in 2016.

Different strokes different folks. Thought that scene was a low point of the show.

 

[TerminalDogma]

I really liked this episode. I've liked this season in general, though, so I guess I'm in the minority. I can see where people are having an issue, however. The pacing is very different from the first season.

 

[dead souls]

Doing a fake 80s/90s sitcom episode isn't exactly creative in 2016.

To be fair, the poster you quoted was comparing it to Community, a show that was never any good, so maybe it was a veiled insult.

 

[RavenSan]

Community was brilliant, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought so.

Had to get my finger frozen recently for a minor incision and it is the WORST pain I have ever felt!!! Watching that scene made it all come rushing back. gah.
