Mr Robot

[+Random Stranger Subscriber¹]

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 whole show is starting to feel like a cocktail of "Hackers" and "Shutter Island".

I feel more Fight Club than Shutter Island.

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.

but they never talk to him! he is not real.

Maybe. Maybe not.

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.

[trag3dy]

Great episode although slightly predictable. I know "it" was gonnna from pretty much the first episode. It'l be interesting to see where it goes from here.

it is a good news, and the episode was indeed nicer.    i am totally optimistic about the show and i am now recommending it to all my friends.

Elliot has, in fact, lost his mind.

[kozukumi]

So what the hell happened at the end? Is Mr Robot his dad?! I am so confused I need to watch the episode again lol

[+Random Stranger Subscriber¹]

Hmm, interesting episode to say the least.    Unexpected.    That's good

[+Random Stranger Subscriber¹]

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)

[Syanide]

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.

[Steven P. Administrators]

All I can say is wow, love the series

[+Random Stranger Subscriber¹]

i have to say i was a bit worried there for a second....

[Draconian Guppy]

Isn't pretty clear at the end of the episode, his father is indeed a figment of his imagination?

[Syanide]

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.

I think I was a little late to the conversation  I meant that to the others above who had their theories!

[Syanide]

My bad.

Anyway, the season finale wasn't aired last night because of the shooting that happened yesterday, so instead of editing the episode, they'll air it next week.

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.
