MR. ROBOT Official Discussion Thread (New Season starts Oct.6)

This show tries too hard and is deliberately confusing IMO

I don't even try to follow it anymore

This is exactly how it feels. They deliberately try to confuse the viewer and it isn't really entertaining. I'll watch the finale, since I Invested all of these hours into the season, but I doubt I'm coming back for next season. Wellicks wife would have to bust it wide open during the finale for me to watch the next season.

And truthfully I'm tired of seeing that bug eyed motherfucker who's so in himself that he don't know left from right. We get it, he's mixed up with multiple personalities. Don't stall the narrative demonstrating that to us episode after episode.
 
man WTF is going on???!!!???

i love shit that makes you think, but this shit is just too much.

season 1 was good stuff, this season im struggling to connect the dots!

the whole shit i guess im going to have to watch again, wtf is going on?

i dont necessarily want it to be explained to me, but i feel lost as hell with everything!

Yeah, this season is more of a mid fuck than last year. I like it tho. Hopefully we'll get some answers next week!
 
Yoooooooooo! Finally rewatching the latest episode again. Icb the first time i watched this i didnt even notice that the lil girl was dressed just like angela ponytail and all. Im dyin. Fuck this shit:roflmao::roflmao3::roflmao2:
 
I mean im not even trippin. Im looking at it a little deeper than most. Katts are pretending to be females online and offline right? Seems to me like whiterose only uses the woman role when playing the part of whiterose. Its more of a disguise than a life choice.
 
peace

Im almost convinced that the writer/director did all of this intentionally in order to keep the edge in his favor as you even see in this thread every single week, muggs are trying to figure out with conviction ( and only a small percentage of success) what the next move has to be.
EsmailCorp is like, ohh yeah!?! hahaha hold ya fucking horses mahfuckas as I piss in your water cooler without y'all knowing it:cool:

Good observation & methodology
 
I'm not going to lie but I'm having the same suspicions about Elliot....

Either that theory or
My personal theory that this entire show is going to end up being nothing but a delusion inside Elliot's head like that Jon Cusak movie.

if that happens this show will be considered a giant failure.

they have already said that the ending is planned. this show will only last 5 seasons.

at least that is the current plan.
 
the fact that this is not CSI, Law and Order, Soap Opera predictable shit is why i like it.

mofo's mad because they can't figure it out. just enjoy the ride.

i do think that this show is skewed toward those with tech minds tho. it is one of my favorite shows.

I have to disagree. I'm not vibing with the show because it is trying to do too much, in my opinion, not to be predictable. I can enjoy and appreciate great writing and story telling that isn't predictable. I've said before that I am a fan of "The Americans", which isn't at all predictable. It seems to me that the writers and show runners for "The Americans" are better at leaving you scratching your head and wondering what is going to happen next or several episodes out, without making you feel like you're unable to follow the story or relate to the characters.

I started watching 'Mr. Robot" because of the tech focus. I am part of the tech community. Unfortunately, the story is just mind numbingly confusing to the point of frustration. The story itself does not move along at a preferred or acceptable pace in my view, because the show runners and writers are more interested in confusing the viewer than they are in telling a compelling story for television. Therefore, I can't enjoy the ride as you suggest. If this were a ride, I'd be vomiting and looking to get off.

You have the CSI's and Law and Order type shows that are completely predictable on one side of the extreme, then you have Mr. Robot on the other side of the extermes. Extremes are no good. I'd rather a balance or as close a balance as possible between the both.

I like the show but my issues with it are couple of things..

1. I think theyre digging a deep hole with the whole Elliot's crazy/delusional-question reality in general thing. At this point in the story we have Elliot thinking he's hallucinating Tyrell and audience speculation is that Tyrell may be an aspect of Elliots personalities..if thats the case I'll be disappointed. The writers are working on building something thats gonna require a HUGE payoff for it to be satisfactory for most viewers. There isn't too much good history of that happening with popular tv shows.

2. Because they pride themselves on the idea that whats happening hack wise is very possible and in some cases has happened..that means the show is grounded in reality..so when they do these bizarre trips like Whiterose abducting and questioning angela in such an elaborate fashion it makes me kinda go :rolleyes2:...surely there was way to get that scene across without it being THAT out there. Stuff like that kinda detracts from an otherwise compelling show to me.

I don't mind that Whiterose is a genderbender...but the masks for the dark army...the omnipresence/anyone can be dark army aspect makes me concerned if theyre using that too much. And Elliots side adventures that really don't go anywhere or have anything to do with the larger story is starting to come off more like filler rather than additional pieces to a larger puzzle.

The drug dealer he had to break out of jail
His addiction to drugs
The prison dude he had to work on the TOR site for

they all had nothing to with the 5/9 hack, fsociety or even mr robot himself...if you notice thru out all of those thing he barely showed up. These were all things that Elliot had to deal with alone. But they didn't add anything to the story...at least as far as I can tell.

i like the americans. but i find it predictable. i can watch the americans while i do cardio or work and not feel that i have missed anything.

i couldn't/can't do that with breaking bad, game of thrones or mr. robot.

elliot's side adventures are to keep the average viewer watching. it keeps the show grounded to people unfamiliar with the tech aspects of the show. it humanizes the show to a certain extent.

there are other aspects of the show that appeal strictly to tech folks. many of the screenshots, the applications being used, the nod to microcenter (the average person has no idea what a microcenter is).

so i kind of understand the point.
 
i only didn't see one thing coming in that show. and i am not going to spoil anyone. lets just say it happened in russia this season.

OK..but that one thing was being built up for over 3 seasons...that ONE shock?

if its the ONLY shock you saying you ever had?

wasn't it worth it?

Because looking BACK was foreshadowed the entire time and going FORWARD colors EVERYTHING that has happened after.

to ME that is a mark of great storytelling and an even greater show.

But I can't have a unbiased debate cause I LOVE that show!

I think your over estimating the tech stuff...I'm NOT a tech head at all but the tech stuff, hacking and coding doesn't bore or intimidate me. If anything I'd like to see MORE of that stuff and the stories around it. Thats why I find the side stories a bit annoying. I would suspect a lot of people who are frustrated fans feel the same.

don't get me wrong. i enjoy the show. that is why i am still watching. but as a student of history i see where alot of the stuff in that show is going before they reveal it.

while you may state that you are not a tech head, you are head and shoulders above the average person in understanding tech matters just by being on bgol. ijs.
