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.

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.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah they lost me in Episode 3. Too much going on in my life to waste time with constant "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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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