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.

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.

Great recommendation! Will watch this.

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.

Spoiler

And by the way wtf is going on with corporate weirdo guy, cant remember his name. That guy is seriously fucked.

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

Another great recommendation f/ the Malazan boards!

Loving this show so far through first 3 episodes!

[Bulwyf]

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?

[Whisperzzzzzzz]

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

So, Darlene is his sister and Mr. Robot is his dad. Well. After Elliot had his memory-flood, I went back to the episode where Elliot tripped, and confirmed that the things he says when stumbling in the subway were references to things in his trip. Also, it now makes more sense why Darlene said, "Why wouldn't I know where you live?" when Elliot asked her how she found his apartment.

So, do we think Mr. Robot is still alive or is he an alternate personality? I think that's still up in the air.

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