This is how I feel. And I'm glad you mentioned that it really conveys the feeling well as the show develops. I made a comment on the full reaction expressing that too -- there's a lot of questions and issues that the initial reveal brings up, and I love that the show takes its time developing them as it progresses through the story Got some more unnecessary ROT13 cipher messages to expand on what I mean XD. Spoilers for the show! Gur tveyf unir gnyxrq n ybg nobhg nffhzvat gung Ryyvbg gnxvat uvf zrqf jbhyq znxr Ze Ebobg tb njnl, naq gung gur tbny vf gb trg evq bs uvz.

2022-12-15 07:05:11 +0000 UTCThis show definitely excels at blending the surreal with the mundane, and it's why I have a special spot for the second season. Can't wait for your thoughts on it too, I've also been appreciating you reacting alongside the girls

2022-12-15 06:55:22 +0000 UTCI'm 29 years old, so I'm technically your senior, by 1 year, and as your senior, I definitely recommend taking some drugs at some point in your life - it will change your entire perspective on them. For the last century they have been demonised and ridiculed, putting aside the benefits of several types of drugs / the medical benefits from studies that are only really just starting to take place now. For example, "Shrooms" are now being used as a medicine to treat hearing loss for example, weed helps with seizures, all sorts of things. At least give everything a go I say! Unless it involves a needle or anything that requires chemical makeup from a lab, avoid these. Anything natural, give it a go! Weed in particular to begin with! I'm a daily weed smoker myself, hold down full time job, have my own place and responsibilities - it's not the "devils lettuce" as we're taught growing up! #dodrugs

2022-12-15 02:08:04 +0000 UTCThey do a good job of representing it metaphorically - you both caught on early that Elliot and Mr. Robot will switch where they are standing in the scene based on who is "fronting", retreating to the back of a room or stepping in front of one another. It isn't literal but it's accurate to the experience

2022-12-15 01:55:32 +0000 UTCWith regards to the DID portrayal: This show takes artistic license with the symptoms, in service of accurately portraying how it FEELS to live with DID and experience delusions/memory loss. Since this is a TV show, if Mr. Robot was a disembodied voice, we would know immediately he was in Elliot's head. It would make us just be observing his symptoms instead of being in his head. By making Mr. Robot a visual character, we are put into Elliot's shoes - we aren't sure if he is Real or Not. Overall this show depicts the experience of how d.i.d feels very accurately, especially as it goes on. It just has to use artistic license on the symptoms/method to get that across.

2022-12-15 01:45:12 +0000 UTC@Dante thanks :) i actually would be an awful reactor because i usually watch things with a sraight face even when i'm liking what i'm watching. except comedies, i actually laugh my ass off watching some sitcoms, today i even scared my cat watching the sex life of college girls because i laugh REALLY loud at once scene. well, i'm glad to know my questions will be answered because i have many of them. but yeah, for the moment i have the patience to watch it like this. i was ding the same with band of brothers but i watched ep 2 with them and i could barely pay attention to the reaction because too many things were happening in the show and the way it was filmed gave me a headache so i just decided to watch ahead.

2022-12-14 23:52:40 +0000 UTCI very much enjoy reading your thoughts in the comments after these episodes. It's almost like I'm getting a 3rd person's reaction lol. You're asking good questions! I totally get wanting to binge the show but I actually think watching 2 episodes a week is a pretty perfect pace for it. Binging this show can almost make it even more confusing and harder to remember things as it all kind of just runs together, but at the same time, I think getting the story only once a week is a reason some people fell off during season 2. The only thing I will say is things DO eventually get explained so don't worry!

2022-12-14 23:36:42 +0000 UTCi'm 28 years old and i have never done drugs, not even weed, the closest thing to being high i've experienced was seeing MGMT live on a festival. now i have to add watching this episode and the one of elliot experiencing withdrawls to the list. i swear i spent the 54 minutes of this episode with a frawn on my face because i didn't undestrand anything that was happening on my screen. this is just a thought, so don't spoil me because i have not watched anything past this episode, but i don't know how to interpret darlene's situation in elliot's mind. all the pictures he had in the cd were of their dad, their mom and elliot himself. the only picture that had darlene in it was the physical copy. and now that he's allucinating his family he pictures all of them exept darlene. my iterpretation of that right now can go both ways, she was the only good thing in his life back then or something really bad happened between them as children so he tried to erase her or somoething like that. idk, i'm just really confused and i really want to keep watching but i actually like watching this at the same time they do. it's interesting watching an episode for the first time and listening to someone talk about it and how they interpret it right after. by the way, on that scene with tyrell's wife (sorry, can't remember the name) i actually thought "wow, she looks exactly like angelina jolie in this scene" and two seconds later lola mentioned the same. and last thing. i'm also confliced about angela right now. i really thought she joined them to "destruct them from the inside" but idk if that's where her storyline is going and i'm afraid because i don't really want her to go to the dark side.

2022-12-14 13:50:34 +0000 UTCSure it is. But we are nowhere near those episodes at this moment. :)

2022-12-14 09:18:34 +0000 UTCAlthough the show has a ton of mystery, confusion and all around headfuckery, there is very littlevthat isn't answered as time goes on. The show isn't like Lost or anything....where there's just questions on-top of questions.
Imthecatman
2022-12-14 08:27:35 +0000 UTCOne season down! It looks like Darlene is the standout character of the season for LM :) I really enjoy all of Gideon's scenes. The man just cannot win, but damn am I always rooting for him.
Isaac
2022-12-14 07:49:06 +0000 UTCmaybe mildly interesting but the song played at the end of the ep is sung by alabama shakes who also have a song featured on the last scene of fleabag season 2 (the “itll pass” scene)
Sebastian
2022-12-14 07:39:41 +0000 UTCYes, this episode is a big subversion. We think we are building up to a big event, perhaps the entire show, and it happens off screen, revealed in the first scene. As you will know by now, S2 focuses a lot on the consequences of the hack, which is more of an inciting incident than the main goal of the series. And it has a lot of surreal moments just like this episode which you're correct was very dream-like In retrospect I'm glad you two did watch the first two S2 episodes together. Initially someone suggested it and I was against it because I feel like people overdo the "Watch these episodes together" thing. But after skimming through them, the S2 premiere really is supposed to be one long episode separated by an intermission. If they were watched separately I think the opening episode of S2 would be less satisfying
tom
2022-12-14 07:39:02 +0000 UTCI think just the last two episodes
tom
2022-12-14 07:34:59 +0000 UTCI thought the same thing
tom
2022-12-14 07:34:15 +0000 UTCMilena you're not alone. The scene with Elliot and Tyrell's wife was uploaded on Youtube literally titled "The most terrifying scene of Mr Robot" after S1 aired
tom
2022-12-14 07:19:21 +0000 UTCWithout spoiling, that USB didn't belong to Tyrell - I would go into more detail but it's too early at this stage
Dustywood
2022-12-14 06:17:45 +0000 UTCthe simple version, they didn't erase people's money, debt is sold, held, moved around as a financial commodity, so basically they erased the debt records that Ecorp was in charge of storing and maybe also owned much of? don't remember that detail clearly. people's retirement is basically experiencing ruin due to the markets crashing in the circumstances, Love the end credit scene! 👍

2022-12-14 06:13:41 +0000 UTCI can confidently say that it was definitely frustrating as it aired and having to wait a full year before more episodes but I really loved hypothesizing after every episode all the circumstances that could happen and I'm sure season 2 will fill that for LM as well. Oh and to lean into what Lola's main take aways from this episode were "I know nothing now." YEP!! Hahaha, every week when new episodes aired and my boss at the time would ask how it was I would say "very good...but I have NO idea what's happening."

2022-12-14 03:55:55 +0000 UTCNot sure if anyone told you yet, but I believe that the last 3 episodes (4x11, 4x12, 4x13) is best to watch in one go with little breaks. This way it should give you more satisfaction and less questions. They were planned since the very beginning and should feel like a big final movie.
terrier
2022-12-14 03:54:11 +0000 UTCYeah this is definitely an offbeat and confusing season finale. Things DO get explained but the show delights in stepping off the path you think it's gonna take before fitting it back in. Looking forward to S2
Myeh
2022-12-14 03:04:29 +0000 UTCNot sure if I agree, at that point Tyrell knows that Elliot/Mr. Robot framed Colby and is taking steps against Evil Corp
Myeh
2022-12-14 03:03:51 +0000 UTCto clarify the video on the USB does not belong to Mr Robot, it belongs to Tyrell. Tyrell a few episode ago says to Mr Robot in his car, "I know your secret", he wanted to blackmail Mr Robot to work for him at that time. The secret Tyrell thinks he knows isn't Elliot have multiple personalities, but I think Tyrell thinks Elliot is suicidal.

2022-12-14 03:02:12 +0000 UTCYou guys going to do the double episode for 1-2 of S2 since it was released as a singular episode originally? :) Edit, nevermind, ya'll mentioned you would in this vid - disregard
