The question is...is this all just a delusion in his head and is any of it real? And is his addiction just adding to his delusions of bringing down 'evil corp'? Does Mr. Robot (aka Christian Slater) actually exist or is he just another delusional thought?

After this episode i am 100% certain mr robot does not exist. I am sure because he is Always in the side, and all others are only talking to our main character. Me robot is appering less and less relavant, and always on the background.

Prettty sure the addiction os real and is actually the driving source of delusions.

The addiction is quite real.  Additionally...is he schizophrenic or have Asperger?

Pretty sure he is real because he was talking to the other guys in the hotel room.

 

If he's not real then it would pretty much be fight club only with computers. Him putting himself through tests like throwing himself off the pier into the rocks, compared to the Narrator burning his hand with lye, etc.

 

I'd rather they not try to make too many parallels to fight club and do their own thing. So I'm going to assume that he is real.

Everyone is talking to Mr Robot in this episode!

 

Interesting episode. I enjoyed the social engineering aspect of it at the data centre. 

 

Yeah but people who are in favor of the Fight Club split personality theory will say he is just imagining him there in his place or whatever.

 

I feel like that would be contrived so I prefer that he's real.

 

It's a good episode though. It'll be interesting to see where it goes with the chinese hacker group and the guy in jail.

 

Also I kinda felt from the start that his neighbor/girlfriend Shayla wasn't going to make it out of the first season alive. Which is disappoint because I like her.

Well the good news is the show is getting good again, and he is back to his old hacking awesomeness. Specially with the busting the crim outta jail.

So, yes, Elliot discovers that Mr. Robot looks exactly like his dead father — and is thus almost certainly a figment of his imagination (or else a father who faked his death and learned to retard the aging process, or a hacker who had extreme plastic surgery, or an identical younger cousin of Mr. Alderson)

Yeah, he's most certainly a figment of his imagination, which was something that was honestly expected.

The real twist is Darlene and even more so, the business with Tyrell.

Since we now know Elliot selectively shared the story so far, I expect the next few episodes will reveal what he's been hiding.

Dude, it's kinda pretty clear. The guy didn't age a year, Elliot pushes him out of the window but he's the one that's hurt, they're at his grave near the end of the episode, and Tyrell comes to Elliot after talking to Mr. Robot previously. And Elliot actually says he's Mr. Robot near the end.

Maybe I've watched too many movies and tv shows but I thought it was pretty clear from very early on, i'd say between episode 2 and 3, so the twist wasn't much of one to me, though the 2nd twist, or in this case I guess it's the first one that leads to the other one I expected, was a surprise.

It was clear, what wasn't clear what was the relationship, for me, that was the actual twist, not the fact that he didn't exist.

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.

      I doubt that Google will keep the same price... it may go up from that list published.
    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026

      Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
