Mr. Robot is the best show on TV, by a wide margin.

Hmmmm. Hmm. Well, if anyone would like to discuss the seaaon finale, let me know.

I do not have a rooting interest in this show, other than that it continues to be excellent.

I dunno! They all looked the same to me and then I read your (Pinback's) list and hmm, I guess you are right.

There are similarities between Angela and Terrell's wife. I will say that.

I'm changing the subject. I am not rooting for Dom to succeed, even though she is the FBI agent and probably trying to do some "good" in the world.

Are you rooting for the FBI in this, Pinback? That's my question.

Sorry, the question was addressed to Mr. Ice Cream.

Sorry, I don't watch the show.

Can I get an answer to my goddamn question?

Fifteen years of my life here, can't get an answer.

What did you mean that the creators have their "type" of woman? The four main female characters all seem pretty different to me, other than none of them are awful to look at. Whaddya got, ya got:

Darlene: Giant Jay Leno face with chicken legs.
Angela: Little mousy blonde with dead eyes, like a doll's eyes.
Terrell's wife: Supermodel-type with lips the size of basketballs.
"Dom": Mannish tomboy with thin lips, which maybe Terrell's wife had 'em sucked out and implanted.

It's quite a good show. I shouldn't have doubted you, Ben.

There was a reference to Elliot using irc.colo-solutions.net. I tried going there tonight via IRC but nothing happened. However, if you just go to http://irc.colo-solutions.net/ there is something there.

My theory was wrong, because Darlene knows her brother from her father. So, MY BAD Y'ALL.

You said Slater was the real guy. So I am counting all the Elliot scenes as dream sequences.

Are you for serious? I just watched episode 3. Are you counting the Christian Slater scenes as "dream sequences"? Because if not, there was one (1) dream sequence, and a darkly comic one at that. So you must be counting the Slater scenes. Which... I mean... Okay?

I don't get it.

Why do you figure out show ben

by **pinback** » Wed Jul 20, 2016 7:48 am

What if it IS the old hacker running the show, and Elliot is his hallucination! Because Elliot died when he jumped out the window as a kid!

I figured out the whole show.

"When people look at you, they see ME." - Christian Slater

Show: Figured out.

by **Ice Cream Jonsey** » Sun Jul 17, 2016 12:56 pm

It's an odd show. Excellent, but odd.

I don't think anything is gained by them doing what they did with Christian Slater's character. It makes more sense that an old hacker is running the show.

They go from one weird episode in Elliot's mind to another, and then at the end of S02E01 it's almost like the auteur felt the need to cram in something in the real world to show what's going on, thus the scene with the lady at the bank.

I guess to clarify, yeah, it is brilliant and that's why it's being judged against itself rather than other things on TV.

Is anyone else watching season two?

by **Ice Cream Jonsey** » Sat Jan 23, 2016 1:22 pm

Is Elliot someone we are supposed to root for or not?

Or we can just make this Paul's Discount Freeway BBS, I don't care.

by **pinback** » Sat Jan 23, 2016 11:21 am

I think you should just relax and enjoy the show.

Ice Cream Jonsey wrote:I watched the first episode. I am a bit fascinated by the opening scene.

Eliot found a coffee shop that had fast internet. He proceeds to figure out that Ron, the owner of the shop, is running a CP ring. He turns Ron in.

A lot of people would consider Eliot a hero for turning in the horrible, horrible monster of a person that distributed CP.

I'm watching this thinking that Eliot is a piece of garbage. The internet server that Ron offered was free. Most free WiFi networks are terrible. Hell, most don't exist, because some company decides they can charge for it, instead.

There's a lot going on with this show, so I wouldn't put it past the producers to not really want audience members to be on Eliot's side after what he does there. They found a way to put him up against what we, as a society, has decided is one of our worst archetypes - the would-be child molester - and not necessarily make everyone on Eliot's side.

I would like Pinback's take on this.
