damn white rose is a stone cold bitch...convinced dude to dead himself. What kinda power does she possess? She stay controlling from Angela to Price to Bobby Canvelle character to her number 2.
didn't see the price/Angela reveal coming but it made sense and was earned
same goes to realisation that Elliott jumped. he threw himself out the window. we all know he is an unreliable but didn't realize how unreliable. surprisingly fulfilling to have Elliot and Mr robot make peace. Next year it's them against white rose.
and Dom is fucked. She has no choice but to be the mole. By all appearances she is more valuable and intelligent than Santiago but less controllable
and Bobby's character went apeshit with that ax
no tyre?
season 2 was an improvement to season 3 and interested to see what kinda trouble the banger causes that killed shyla is now back

Mozilla’s Mr. Robot promo backfires after it installs a Firefox extension without permission

Don’t keep cell phones next to your body, California Health Department warns
If you’re a Firefox user, you may have noticed a weird new extension that suddenly showed up in your browser this week.
The extension is called “Looking Glass 1.0.3” and this is its description: MY REALITY IS JUST DIFFERENT FROM YOURS. Now that sounds ominous. It’s really not, though. It’s a promotional campaign between Firefox and the TV series Mr. Robot that brings an alternate reality game to your browser. This must have sounded like a great idea when somebody pitched it to Mozilla, but the backlash has been fierce.
There are some obvious synergies between the Mr. Robot and Mozilla brands, after all (or so I assume, based on what I’ve heard; I’ve only seen one episode). And the extension doesn’t really do anything until you’ve opted into the game.
But still, if Mozilla is positioning itself as the privacy-conscious alternative to Google, Microsoft and others, then installing an extension without asking users first doesn’t feel right at all. It doesn’t help that the extension seems to come from Mozilla’s Shield project, which is the company’s platform for testing new features in Firefox with a subset of users who opt-in to giving these types of things a try.
And then there’s the fact that you simply can’t assume that the majority of Firefox users even cares about Mr. Robot (or knows what it is). It may have an outsized following inside of developer circles, but we’re talking about a show that had just less than 700,000 viewers for its last season opener.
It all just feels a bit tone-deaf, so we reached out to Mozilla to get a better grip on what the organization was thinking. So far, we have not received a response, but we’ll update this post once we hear more.
Here is Mozilla’s response, courtesy of Chief Marketing Officer Jascha Kaykas-Wolff: “Firefox worked with the Mr. Robot team to create a custom experience that would surprise and delight fans of the show and our users. It’s especially important to call out that this collaboration does not compromise our principles or values regarding privacy. The experience does not collect or share any data.
The experience was kept under wraps to be introduced at the conclusion of the season of Mr. Robot. We gave Mr. Robot fans a unique mystery to solve to deepen their connection and engagement with the show and is only available in Firefox.”

season finale was great....
That Angela and her father reveal...
I feel like someone on this thread called that EARLY
I feel like this Elliot window thing needs to be discussed further...
I think him jumping out the window was possibly one of the first physical manifestations of the battle that was going on inside his head. I can see him and the other personality fighting it out and Elliot jumping out the window to stop him or vice versa. We have a history of Elliot/Mr. Robot punishing himself physically trying to stop the other side from taking over.
Man that finale was great. White Rose is always 10 steps ahead. I knew when ol dude told her she was wrong about Elliot and that they needed to kill him that she was gonna do something about that. The finale was also good because you saw the murderous crazy side come out of the used car salesman guy as well as Leon. All this time you're like "These people just seem so calm" then dude whips out that Axe and goes crazy chopping up dude.
Like Elliot said though, the hack wasn't a complete failure. His original plan was to take down E Corp and all the evil they're operating with, that didn't work... but the hack had an unexpected benefit. It exposed the top 1% of the 1% so he really knows who all the puppet masters are now and can take them out.
that's a dangerous play for elliot. tyrell is a puppet for the dark army at e corp. he's gonna fuck that up. the philosophical gangster is back. he's one of the only dudes besides white rose and price to outsmart elliot. interesting to see how that dynamic play out. he's not a mindless thug. well read , educated and battle tested. fuck around , elliot might use him to help.
I posted the previous quote so people can see the changes in interest from ep to ep....
characters/storylines I'm most and least interest in on a scale of 1 to 10
Elliot/Mr Robot - 8
White Rose - 8
Price - 6 (powerful old white man...meh)
Wellick - 4
Darlene - 6
Angela - 4.....was 5 but STILL losing interest...the Empire Strikes Backian "I AM YOUR FATHER" revelation was just okay but
Dom - 5 - She blamed darlene for her situation but i don't know if darlene fucked dom...its all in the game...darlene is on one side and doms tenacity wouldn't allow herself to walk away.
Leon - 6
Irving - 7...up from 6 ..so he's no ordinary lackey henchman to tell whiteroses number 2 to fuck off
also the reveal that elliots father didn't push him changes how I see him now..all of his issues can't be based on some kind of abuse from his father since all the photos we saw show them being cool together...
so elliots just plain old crazy..genius crazy because he did all this shit based on an excuse that never existed.
also the idea of undoing a hack sounds delusional in itself....the destruction reeked and the changes it brought doesn't disappear..unless the payoff is some real time reversal thing which is what theyve been hinting at all season..but the stakes are set so high now that if its anything less than that I'ma call the show a bust

you're spot on about dom. she was gung ho with the case. the case was her life because she have no life.she was trying to be all pious to santiago about him working with the dark army until shit got real for her. could of walked away. now she blaming this on darlene. bitch , she told you not tell anyone in the feds because they have a mole. i like price. dude said there's only 3 -4 people more powerful than him in the world. and white rose showed him that she/he one of them. i also loved his dialogue with tyrell and mr.robot. gave mr. robot clarity. said" if you're a leader ,where's your followers?

Christian Slater Thinks Mr. Robot Will End With Season 4
Mr. Robot actor Christian Slater says that the show's writers are currently putting together the fourth season, and that he believes that it will also be the last. Created by Sam Esmail, the show debuted in 2015 and stars Rami Malek as Elliot, a brilliant hacker who becomes embroiled in an anarchist plot to disrupt the world through cyber-vigilantism.
Mr. Robot wrapped up its third season in December 2017, and was officially renewed for season 4 shortly before the finale aired. The show's fourth season is expected to begin filming later this year and premiere in 2019. Esmail has been consistent in saying that he envisioned the story with a specific endpoint, estimating that it will wrap up by the end of its fourth or fifth season, and now it seems that the end could be on its way pretty soon.
Related: Mr. Robot Season 3 Finale Sets Its Sights Back On the Future
Speaking to Collider about his role in newly-released drama The Wife, Slater was asked generally about how things are going with Mr. Robot, and offered his own thoughts on how much longer the series will run:
"Yeah, season 4, and I believe that will be the last season. Sam [Esmail] always said it was going to be somewhere in that zone, and he didn’t want to go further than what he could creatively contribute to that storyline. So, I think that season 4 will be it. I think they’re in the writers’ room, as we speak, putting it all together, but I have no idea what it’s gonna be, or if I’m gonna be floating in and out of scenes. I have no idea, so we’ll see what happens."
Of course, Slater's words shouldn't be taken as gospel, since he admits that he has "no idea" where things will go for his character in season 4. In fact, the last we heard from the showrunner, five seasons was looking more likely. Speaking to THR about the season 3 finale last year, Esmail said:
"I've always said it's four or five seasons, and I've said that because I think it's somewhere in between. Whether that means the next two seasons are two short seasons, or it could technically still be two full ten-episode seasons, we're still kind of figuring that out. It's something the writers' room and I take very seriously. We never want to feel like we're treading water. Hopefully it fits into two more seasons, but we're trying to figure out that number."
It worth noting that Mr. Robot's ratings have dropped considerable since its much-hyped first season, with the season 3 finale attracting less than half a million viewers. The USA Network has enjoyed the prestige and awards garnered by the show, and continued to support it as the ratings dropped throughout seasons 2 and 3. However, at this point there's no guarantee that Mr. Robot will be renewed for a fifth season - especially if the current trend continues - and Esmail may try to find a way to wrap things up, rather than risk the story being left unfinished by way of cancelation.

I don't blame him,these networks will cancel a show despite getting great reviews and ratings....
And it is official, S4 is the end.

Goodbye, friend.
The end of the road for USA Network's critical hit Mr. Robot is in sight, as the previously announced fourth season of the Sam Esmail-created drama starring Rami Malek will be its last. The network-defining series will begin production in the winter in New York for a premiere in 2019, meaning the show will have been off the air for more than a year when the final season debuts.
Season four, announced in December, was originally set to feature another cycle of eight episodes (its lowest order to date), but sources say that order has now been expanded to 12 (which mirrors its sophomore run). Sources say producers including Esmail toyed with the idea of plotting out a fifth season.
The fourth season writing schedule was split in two in order to accommodate Esmail's work on Amazon's Julia Roberts drama Homecoming, which like Mr. Robot is produced by Universal Cable Productions. The Mr. Robot writers room was moved to New York, where they were poised to finish season four and break all of a potential fifth season. Ultimately, those close to the show decided to increase the order for what is now the fourth and final season of the hacker drama.
"When I first created the world of Mr. Robot, I thought it would be a niche television series with a small, cult following. Over the past three years, it has become so much more, and I am continually humbled by the show’s recognition and by the amazing cast and crew that work tirelessly to help bring my vision to life," Esmail said Wednesday in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. "Since day one, I’ve been building toward one conclusion — and in breaking the next season of Mr. Robot, I have decided that conclusion is finally here. Everyone on the creative team, including the amazing people at USA and UCP, didn't want to say goodbye, but we ultimately have too much respect for Elliot's journey to extend past its inevitable ending. Therefore, season four will serve as the final chapter of the Mr. Robot story. To fans of the show: thank you for the past three years, and I can't wait to share this exciting final season with you."
The decision to wrap Mr. Robot with season four should come as little surprise given Esmail has never had a long-term vision for the series. "I've always said it's four or five seasons, and I've said that because I think it's somewhere in between," he told THR after the season three finale in December. "Whether that means the next two seasons are two short seasons, or it could technically still be two full 10-episode seasons, we're still kind of figuring that out. It's something the writers room and I take very seriously. We never want to feel like we're treading water. Hopefully it fits into two more seasons, but we're trying to figure out that number."
Never a ratings breakout — the season three finale wrapped with a series-low 450,000 same-day viewers (growing to 857,000 viewers with three days of DVR) — Mr. Robot helped USA Network rebrand from its former "Blue Skies" brand of uplifting procedurals to a darker and edgier fare (along the lines of current hits The Sinner, Queen of the South and its upcoming Bourne spinoff Treadstone) in a bid to court millennials. The series took off as a critical sensation in season one, scoring an early second-season renewal on the day of its premiere and a lucrative overall deal for Esmail with UCP. Esmail opted to direct every episode of season two as critics suggested his tight grasp on the series was partially to blame for the show's sophomore slump. Still, the series earned a Peabody Award and netted star Malek an Emmy win for lead actor in a drama as the series also scored a nomination for best drama.
"From the beginning, Mr. Robot proved to be a show unlike any other on television, capturing the zeitgeist of our modern times with a unique point of view and definitive vision,” USA Network president Chris McCumber said. "Working with Sam and the entire cast and crew has been nothing short of incredible — and we can’t wait to reveal the complete Mr. Robotstory."
Esmail, meanwhile, next has Amazon's Homecoming and the USA Network drama pilot Briarpatch, starring Rosario Dawson, in the works. Esmail — with his wife, actress Emmy Rossum — is also set to adapt The Hollywood Reporter's Angelyne feature story and is readying a miniseries based on Fritz Lang's sci-fi classic Metropolis, all via his Universal Cable Productions deal.
"The story of Mr. Robot is completely original and exhilarating — striking a cultural chord at just the right time. As we begin production on the final chapter of this iconic series, we want to thank Sam for his unparalleled vision, the masterful crew and the passionate cast who breathe life into these rich characters. We’d also like to thank our partners at USA Network for embracing this revolutionary series," UCP co-presidents Dawn Olmstead and George Cheeks said in a joint statement.
For his part, Malek has parlayed his Mr. Robot role to big-screen gigs, including his leading role as Freddie Mercury in the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. The actor will return for the final season, which picks up where the season three finale left off and will explore the pros and cons of Elliot sending an email that could reverse 5/9. Christian Slater, Portia Doubleday, Carly Chaikin, Martin Walstrom, Grace Gummer, Michael Cristofer and BD Wong co-star on the drama, which hails from Anonymous Content. The latter's Steve Golin and Chad Hamilton executive produce alongside Esmail.
The decision to wrap up Mr. Robot arrives as USA Network recently canceled the dramas Colony and Shooter — both after three-season runs — and picked up Treadstone to series. USA's slate currently includes the lone "Blue Skies" holdover, Suits, and its upcoming spinoff Queen of the South, The Sinner, The Purge and the anthology Unsolved, the latter of which is awaiting word on season two. On the pilot side, the cabler has Erase, Dare Me and Esmail's Briarpatch.
For management and production company Anonymous Content — which reps Esmail — the company also exec produces Homecoming and next has Netflix's Maniac, Hulu's Catch-22, Patty Jenkins' TNT drama I Am the Night and more.

Bryan Singer Threw Electrical Equipment During Fight With Rami Malek on Bohemian Rhapsody Set
By Hunter Harris@hunteryharris

Bryan Singer was quickly “up to his old tricks,” on the set of the Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter. Fox was apprehensive about hiring the director at the start, and star Rami Malek complained to the studio after the two got into a heated argument. “Tensions escalated into an on-set altercation between Singer and his star (by all accounts, one of the nicest actors in the business),” the magazine reports. “With reports of a piece of electrical equipment thrown by Singer (though not at anyone), a complaint — apparently from Malek — prompted Fox to dispatch several execs to London.”
Sources told THR that executives were apprehensive about hiring Singer at the start, but had a sit-down with Singer and producer Graham King about how he should behave. Early on in the production, a source says, Singer would have his cinematographer shoot the movie himself.
Singer was fired last year for long, unexplained absences from the set. To THR, Singer repeated his explanations that he had to leave the set to care for a parent, but said he was proud of the final movie, finished by Dexter Fletcher. “I put over a year and a half of my life and passion into the film Bohemian Rhapsody. I’m also extremely proud of the finished product. There was a period at the end where I asked the studio to allow me to go home to deal with a parent who was sick. This was also affecting my own health. I felt we could finish up the few remaining days in January. The studio did not,” Singer told THR. “Any discussion about fights between myself and Rami Malek are simply an exaggeration of a few creative differences that were quickly resolved. This is normal on a film set. And I think the work speaks for itself.”

Sources told THR that executives were apprehensive about hiring Singer at the start, but had a sit-down with Singer and producer Graham King about how he should behave. Early on in the production, a source says, Singer would have his cinematographer shoot the movie himself.
Singer was fired last year for long, unexplained absences from the set. To THR, Singer repeated his explanations that he had to leave the set to care for a parent, but said he was proud of the final movie, finished by Dexter Fletcher. “I put over a year and a half of my life and passion into the film Bohemian Rhapsody. I’m also extremely proud of the finished product. There was a period at the end where I asked the studio to allow me to go home to deal with a parent who was sick. This was also affecting my own health. I felt we could finish up the few remaining days in January. The studio did not,” Singer told THR. “Any discussion about fights between myself and Rami Malek are simply an exaggeration of a few creative differences that were quickly resolved. This is normal on a film set. And I think the work speaks for itself.”
Rami Malek Admits Working With Ex-Bohemian Rhapsody Director Bryan Singer Was ‘Not Pleasant’

As Bohemian Rhapsody continues to solidify its Oscar villain status, the film’s star, Rami Malek, is getting more candid about the firing of original director Bryan Singer — a firing we still have conflicting narratives about. But as Malek explained during a Friday evening panel at the Santa Barbara Film Festival, Singer’s behavior made his working experience more terrible than anticipated. “In my situation with Bryan, it was not pleasant, not at all. And that’s about what I can say about it at this point,” he said. “For anyone who is seeking any solace in all of this, Bryan Singer was fired. Bryan Singer was fired, I don’t think that was something anyone saw coming but I think that had to happen and it did.”
It was previously rumored that Malek, fed up with Singer’s frequent absences from set, complained to higher-ups about the director’s “unreliability and unprofessionalism,” with the duo’s animosity even resulting in a fight where equipment was thrown. Singer was ultimately fired in December 2017 and replaced with Dexter Fletcher to complete the film.
Singer has claimed the reason for his Bohemian Rhapsody absences was due to caring for a sick family member, but over the past year, many new sexual abuse allegations have been lodged against him. Despite the numerous allegations, Singer is still attached to direct the upcoming drama Red Sonja, and he celebrated Bohemian Rhapsody’s successful Oscars campaign.

BAFTA has removed Bryan Singer’s name from Bohemian Rhapsody’s Best Film nomination, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “In light of recent very serious allegations, BAFTA has informed Bryan Singer that his nomination for Bohemian Rhapsody has been suspended, effective immediately,” BAFTA said in a statement. “BAFTA considers the alleged behaviour completely unacceptable and incompatible with its values. This has led to Mr Singer’s suspended nomination. BAFTA notes Mr Singer’s denial of the allegations. The suspension of his nomination will therefore remain in place until the outcome of the allegations has been resolved. BAFTA believes everyone has the right to a fulfilling career in a safe, professional working environment, and it will continue to collaborate with the film, games and television industries to achieve this.” The names of producer Graham King and writer Anthony McCarten will remain.
In an exposé published by The Atlantic last month, four men accused Singer of sexual abuse, dating back to the 1990s. After The Atlantic’s story, the GLAAD Media Awards removed Bohemian Rhapsody from consideration for Best Original Film. Singer called the report a “homophobic smear piece,” and his attorneys denied that he ever had sex with or had a preference for underage men.
