I don't get the complaint that nothing happens in the first three episodes of Mr. Robot. So much shit gets set-up in the first two episodes alone.

Wow this show is fucking terrible

I get that
he is an unreliable narrator
, but that just lessens the impact of basically everything that happens.

I feel like these shows require you to have a less than above average knowledge on networking/ethical hacking to be cool

I watched like 3 seasons of Person of Interest and liked very few episodes (before the main plot kicked in, in fact). Maybe it's not for me.

That's alright.

I was mostly kidding on the Bernie Bro stuff, but dude, from what I can tell from impressions... Mr. Robot isn't universally praised.

I don't have patience for it to get good after many episodes in.

It doesn't get good, it is good from the jump. Season 1 is basically Universally praised and Season 2 had folks antsy because they figured everything out by episode 3 and were pissy. Same problem Westworld had.

It's been touted as the main reason to get Amazon Prime video. It's okay tho, I don't need to post anymore about it.

After all, I got more Madmen to binge :)

(I loaded it up because Prime runs out in 5 days and I wanted to see what it's about).

Wait a second...

Is the fact that Mr. Robot is a part of his imagination supposed to be a twist?

I got that part figured out when other people
called stuff Evil Corp

Most people figured that out in episode one. Show's still good.

And those first two episodes are stacked with set-up.

I don't know if that Cloak and Dagger show is going to be good or not, but that exchange between Cloak and his momma in the trailer was too damn real for a show about super powered teens. Are there black writers on staff?

Paraphrased:

Cloak: You're afraid that if I'm not perfect, you're going to lose me.

Momma: I'm afraid that if you are perfect, I'm still going to lose you.

Do it. At the very least, you can say that you tried. Just remember to pace yourself.

And I can't believe this "silver lining" bullshit from Bernard.

Immigrants with green cards were banned from entering the country, but silver lining.

We almost lost the ACA, but silver lining.

Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III is AG and is working on destroying every recent civil rights gain, but silver lining.

Every member of Trump's cabinet is incompetent, racist, or both, but silver lining.

Gorsuch, not Garland, is the new member of SCOTUS, but silver lining.

Countries around the world are freaking out because the POTUS is spewing whatever comes off the top of his head and making the USA look unstable as hell diplomatically, but silver lining.

The Yemen raid was botched, the Syrian airstrike caused no lasting damage to the infrastructure, and the MOAB was dropped just because the name sounded cool, but silver lining.

FUCK YOUR SILVER LINING.

Yup. It's just a silver lining for him because he wants a revolution. People are out here acting like he said some Professor X shit, but what he said is actually what Magneto would say.

Yeah, that sealed it for me. I'll be watching at least for that moment of the relationship.

I noticed that the dialogue around the trailer by youtube outlets is already spun as him being from the wrong side of the tracks, and her being the princess. Which is funny how they actually came to be, and him having loved ones and her having extreme abuse in her life. I'm not sure if this show no matter where it goes is going to be acceptable. But I think we all knew that when it comes to C&D.

I thought we all knew you were a bearded monk. Which is a priest/warrior hybrid. Your dislike of anime is a permanent -2 to marital arts, but your ability to use Ryu is. +3 to all fighting styles. So a net gain

lol, well if you run they will chase you. its their instinct. at some point they started seeing you as that fun guy who loves to play 'chase me'. If you really do have a fear of dogs, they have got to be the easiest exposure therapy ever.

Nah it's these families that got dogs on the one street leading to school. Assholes. Everyone got chased for years.
One of my earliest memories is getting chased as I yell -_-

No longer afraid but highly alert 😈

Cloak and Dagger is legit. I always loved it when they would pop into something. I have a mighty need for a Runaways trailer though. I've been waiting for that to get adapted since 2004.

I've never had a pet in my life. Not even a low maintenance fish.

It's not hated universally. There's one school, Maliki, that's entirely fine with all ownership of dogs. (4 total: Maliki, Shafi, Hanafi, Hanbali). The rest deem them unclean - either their fur, their saliva, or both. Even those cases can have them, but they've gotta serve a purpose. So, for safety/security, like a guard dog. Or a herd dog for whatever farm tier thing your doing.

As a pet? Nah. They gotta stay outside, so it's a pretty whatever situation.
