Mr Robot 1x04 Reaction
Added 2022-11-23 01:08:08 +0000 UTConly 4 episodes in and they have completely fried my brain… it’s still on 360p but it should process fully in a bit (unless it gets blocked which is a possibility)
Comments
also - this show actively encourages analysis and is strong enough to support it. everything is done with intention and precision. the creator took over directing in season 2 so that he could make sure everything was specific. you're absolutely engaging with the show the right way, paying attention to what the cinematography and the various aspects of the writing/direction.

2022-12-05 03:10:11 +0000 UTCCreator Sam Esmail has said he loves this episode "because it tells you everything without telling you anything." As someone who has finished the show (this is my first rewatch) I can confirm it's absolutely true. this episode hands you full series spoilers on a silver platter, but they are heavily encrypted and you just don't have the right key yet.

2022-12-05 03:09:18 +0000 UTCI love every once of Coney Island exterior they do, with so many faked locations in shows over the years I love that that arcade (the exterior at least) is right where it is in the show, even the railing they sat on for the push is appropriately near by and as they filmed it, except for the rocks ;)

2022-11-25 04:47:52 +0000 UTCAs someone that isn't really a reddit participant, I DEFINITELY was drawn to reading into the tech that I was not familiar with that they showcased in the show and theories came along with it, which kinda ruined some story things in season 2 for me. It also didn't help that I could NOT get any of my friends or colleagues to watch it until the middle of season 2 and even then, only two colleagues. To this day nobody wants to take it up, but I really love this show.

2022-11-23 23:56:32 +0000 UTC@Tom yeah, trenton! i was thinking about a man's name (i'm guessing it's her surname). well, by the way she was looking at darlene was admiring more that her personality if you ask me lol yes, you're completely right, that doesn't help from holding back. i hope it's actual representation and not just vibes though. but for the moment i'm just going to keep watching with them.

2022-11-23 22:01:39 +0000 UTCThe girl that was with Darlene is Trenton. I also feel like it's vague if she has a crush on Darlene or just admires her and is very shy, like with the whole scarf thing. This probably isn't gonna help you from holding back on watching more but the show isn't done with sapphic vibes

2022-11-23 21:31:43 +0000 UTCAnd the over a year wait for some seasons, which was especially painful for the seasons that had cliffhangers...

2022-11-23 21:28:22 +0000 UTC@LM Reactions yeah, i'm an evermore girlie, i'm still obsessed with 90% of the songs of that album. never forgetting the name of that place 🤣
sand_fl
2022-11-23 19:59:04 +0000 UTCthat is absolutely why i remember the name of the place because i love the song
LM Reactions
2022-11-23 19:54:59 +0000 UTCAnother great reaction! If you think 2 eps a week is rough, watching live was horrible... 1 episode per week, Reddit discussions going feral. Another channel I watch decided to watch in batches of episodes. Such a moorish show but a great ride
Kara
2022-11-23 18:59:22 +0000 UTCit's not that it was loud, it was just unexpected. in all the time i've been watching their videos i don't think i've ever seen them editing like that (not that i'm complaining, it was funny). but i just didn't expect it and it startled me big time.

2022-11-23 17:59:12 +0000 UTCWhen I originally sent this last night it was through my computer and I could click and drag. Looking on my phone now same behavior, I can either move my phone around or just click and drag to move around.

2022-11-23 16:59:09 +0000 UTCok, now i can leave a decent (and as always, long, comment) first things first, every time they mention coney island in the show or you mention it in the review i have to restrain myself from start singing 'and i'm sitting on a bench in coney island wondering where did my baby go? he fast times, the bright lights, the merry go'... if that hideout in coney island is going to be a constant in this show i'm afraid i'm going to be thinking about taylor swift and the national a lot the next few months. i even had to listen the song on my way to work today because i couldn't stop humming it. anyway, now to the actual show. i am really fucking confused because as i mentioned i was pretty sure i watched the first season entirely back in 2015 but i cannot remember a single thing from this episode and in the last few i didn't remember much but many scenes were familiar. in this episode? NOTHING. and believe me, i do not forget when shows have sapphic representation. not that i'd count two girls high as a kite making out in a bathroom sapphic representation thought, but you get what i mean. also i did too get the vibes of darlene and the other woman (sorry, can't remember the name). at least from the other girl for sure, she was really making eyes to darlene. i was going to watch this alongside you in the full reactions but i admit i'm tempted to watch the next episode when i get home tonight. i'm also leaning towards the theory that mr robot is just in his head and i also thought about him imagining his father. so who knows... maybe. i just realised that one of the guys is that actor from this is us and he's also the father of one of the original actresses from hamilton, so i guess i'll also be streaming 'say no to this' along 'coney island' every time i watch this show.

2022-11-23 16:12:09 +0000 UTCLol same, it was pretty loud
tom
2022-11-23 15:16:14 +0000 UTCi'll let a longer comment when i het to work before i open but let me tell you that my soul left my body when that music started in min 50 or so. i was getting ready for work and brushing my teeth and the music scared the shit out of me. i even chocked a bit with the toothpaste 😭😭😭 not used to that kind of editing on your videos lol
sand_fl
2022-11-23 14:56:31 +0000 UTCOh boy, this episode is pretty surreal for the first time. But it makes perfect sense when you rewatch the show.
Adam
2022-11-23 14:31:59 +0000 UTCDoes the VR thing work for you two? For me these sort of 360 youtube videos used to allow me to scroll through it, but now it displays it rotated with multiple copies.

2022-11-23 11:04:10 +0000 UTCSafe.
Isaac
2022-11-23 08:15:44 +0000 UTCI haven't seen this. Are we sure this is safe?
tom
2022-11-23 07:21:28 +0000 UTCI'm all for you doing a binge watch. Maybe not multiple episodes a day, though. Just so that each episode can get the focus it deserves since they're pretty long unlike when you binged FMAB. But you could have a week or so where you watch one every day until you finish S1? I'm just coping at this point XD Also, I love how the youtube title has deteriorated to just "robot 104"
tom
2022-11-23 07:07:51 +0000 UTC"It was an acid attack" ?? XD
tom
2022-11-23 07:01:24 +0000 UTCThis episode gets better everytime I rewatch it
Dante
2022-11-23 03:58:47 +0000 UTCOh actually since you two seem to be doing 2 episodes at a time for Mr. Robot, they released a VR episode at a comic-con the following summer, but realistically as long as you watch it after episode 6 you're fine. It's a little 10ish minute mini episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JADKYKWLO9s Watch it for reactions or don't it's just a little extra I thought I'd let you know exists. 😇 Based on your reactions, I think you two would like to see it even if it stings a little.

2022-11-23 03:42:41 +0000 UTCThis episode epitomizes Sam E's genius and vision.
Mike Williams
2022-11-23 03:22:18 +0000 UTCYeah it seems to be a US issue. If you have a VPN that fixed it for me, I just set mine to Serbia.
Bryce
2022-11-23 02:31:24 +0000 UTCohh maybe its just blocked in the US then
Sebastian
2022-11-23 02:27:24 +0000 UTCep 3 is fine for me
Froziac
2022-11-23 02:20:42 +0000 UTCI think before the 5th or 6th episode aired he said it was one of the most important episodes of the entire series and now that it's all out it **does** make a lot of sense. 😊
Ron B
2022-11-23 02:19:37 +0000 UTCwhen you get the chance do you think you could re-upload the episode 3 reaction? i guess youtube’s copyright algorithm is a lot more strict with mr robot :/
Sebastian
2022-11-23 01:45:21 +0000 UTCThis is actually the creator's favorite episode of the entire series! It's a strange one, to be sure.
