Has anyone else been watching this on USA. You can stream it.

Mr Robot


A great hacker show. A little bit of Fight Club antimegacorporation going on. So far it has been a great show.
How many fucking people do I have to hammer in order to get that across.

I have been watching it. I did notice it may be a bit more like Fight Club than I originally thought. Have you seen anyone actually interact with Chrisitian Slater besides the main character? I would have to rewatch the first two as I just noticed it really in the bar scene of Episode 3. Or 1.3 or whatever the hell they call it

I haven't seen 1.3 yet. But Mr. Robot interacts with the other hackers in the alley.

I am starting to suspect that you are correct. I am watching 1.2 right now and the way that Darleen is interacting with him is a little weird.

I love everything about this show, planning to watch eps 1 and 2 again tonight before watching ep 3 tomorrow, I'll certainly keep an eye out for that!

Could make it either interesting or cliche in the long run.

My theory, especially after that bar scene, is that it's similar to Fight Club — alternate personality did the recruiting. In this case, Elliot-as-Slater recruited the other hackers to fsociety, and Slater is his alternate personality.

But, considering how great the script has been so far, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they're not going with such an obvious cliche.

I've been greatly anticipating this show from the first time I saw a preview and, in fact, we watched Ep 1 on demand about 2 weeks before it aired. We love it so far. I have to say, I'm almost sorry I read this thread because The Unfound's question/theory had not occurred to me in the slightest and now I may have been inadvertently spoilered. Considering Elliot is talking to the "audience" as if we were a person (that he knows isn't there), I guess I should've allowed for that possibility. I suppose I've been too riveted to the show's unfolding to analyze it!

I really want for that to not be the case.

Im not saying its a bad show. It is still really interesting and I was looking forward to it as much as you. I really didnt think about it until one specific scene in the 3rd ep, which I finally finished last night. That episode got me thinking and now Im going to have to try to watch the other two over this weekend to see if there was anything I missed.

A coworker of mine suggested that the entire 3rd episode was an o mage to a bunch of movies. You had the obvious fight club (voice over, people not seeing/reacting to a character), and then you had American Psycho (Picking out the shirt and fighting a bum), and finally they tossed in a little bit of basic 50 shades for kicks.

Not a bad thought. Maybe every episode has some sort of theme like that. Definitely something to ponder

Still enjoying this show.

Is everyone pretty much taking it for granted now that Mr. Robot is just in Elliot's head?

Pretty much has to be at this point. He always shows up and knows what's going on even when it happens behind closed doors, the only time I've seen both him and Elliot interact w/ people at the same time was when Elliot was tripping balls. When Mr. Robot was yelling at that hacker girl to stop her f/ taking down the mountain, I noticed Elliot kind of disappearing/stepping back into the shadows. In one of the first episodes Mr. Robot did ask the guys who were following Elliot for loose change and they seemed to shoo him away, so I guess that means they were also hallucinations too?

SPOILERS FORTHWITH AND HEREIN.


After last night's episode, somebody needed to make a thread for this show. I mean, holy fuck.

SPOILERS UP TO EP 8
Spoiler


EDIT: meta question - Should this thread contain hidden or open spoilers? I'm not sure which would be best.
