I'm glad the writers finally realized that Elliot is the least interesting character on this show.
A stray observation: USA's other shows look so embarrassingly terrible next to this. Watching live with commercials, the gulf in craftsmanship is almost comical.

Wow, I thought we'd at least get 30 seconds of Elliott, but nothing. Crazy episode.

Darlene be like
"Yo, what the fuc--" *wham!*
Cue me jumping out of my chair as her bat zooms toward the camera. Sam's gotta stop with these jump scares, man.
Also Angela dumping on blue collar jobs despite coming from that upbrining. #StoneColdFOX

This show is too good.
I feel sorry for all those impatient fools who gave up on it weeks ago

Considering the amount of episodes spent on Elliot, I think it's a nice break to see how fsociety and other characters are handling post-5/9.
Also, the start of the episode was awesome as always. I especially love the call back to episode 1 last season:
What I'm about to tell you is top secret. A conspiracy bigger than all of us. There's a powerful group of people out there that are secretly running the world. I'm talking about the guys no one knows about, the ones that are invisible. The top 1% of the top 1%, the guys that play God without permission.
I almost wonder what Elliot was like when he wrote this down.

Angela is more damaged than Elliot at this point.
Yes.
Why would we? He's in jail currently. Them doing a seperate plotline/episode on others is fine. Not everything has to be the Elliot and Mr. Robot show.
I loved this line: "I think she just likes old guys."

F'real. I think this season was even better than the last, though I did see the Mr Robot twist coming last season, but not the prison one. I thought Elliot wasn't going to lie to us anymore
I figured he wouldn't be in the episode since he wasn't in any of the "previously on Mr. Robot" scenes, but the line in the Ron's Coffee Shop flashback kind of cemented it.
"Darlene, I thought I was meeting Elliot."
"Me, too."
"Relax kids. This isn't the stranger danger episode. Eliot couldn't make it, but no need to canip'. I'll download you."
Then she starts repeating Eliot's original opener. It was pretty clear at that point that the episode would be from Darlene's perspective.
The whole episode had a great sense of tension and bleakness that I think you don't get from Eliot's perspective. Relatively speaking, Eliot is actually pretty optimistic about most things. Darlene, though, isn't. She doesn't really trust anyone it seems; not even her followers. It seems like Eliot and Cisco are the only ones she really trusts. So when Cisco betrays her at the end, it hits her especially hard (no pun intended).
Summarized my feelings well haha
Best episode of the season, and maybe the series. Slater and Malek are the worst actors on the show.
Not that they're bad, its just the rest of the cast seems more real and less forced than those too. Which is honestly I guess a result of them having to play more extreme personalities whereas everyone else is relatively subdued/normal.

Great actor, mostly poor material to work with.
See my edit. I don't think malek or Slater are bad, I just think they are playing more difficult characters. Especially malek.

Whoever said Carly Chaikin's acting sucked sure lied. What a great supporting cast.
Sorry, but I think Malek is fucking incredible. Slater is so-so.
That said I do agree that the rest of the cast doesn't get the praise it deserves. Carly Chaikin in particular is fantastic and I don't get people who've said otherwise in this thread.
Anyway, incredible episode and just shows how well the entire ensemble works and can pull off excellence without the "central" protagonist.
