Best new show of the summer, tbh

[cantthinkofanything]

Good to hear. Have all episodes on DVR. Been looking forward to it.

Not gonna lie. It is great.

[hehateme]

Yeah replace that new knock off blacklist show they are doing in fall with this and it would probably get some great ratings. Looking forward to the strain coming back as well. Summer putting out better shows than fall it seems now.

[Reck]

Really? Surprising given that its coming out of one of the worse networks on cable.

Yeah, The Strain starts back up this Sunday. Season 1 was quality.

[Spur-Addict]

Just watched the fist episode, really good. Thanks for the recommendation :toast

[Spur-Addict]

My only complaint is that the lead character looks like R.J Hunter

The show was alright until the fags showed up, a show about hackers with gay anal sex? and on basic cable? Its starting to get old that every show is like this now, its almost like a rule or something that some guy has to get fucked in the ass.

Very good show. I almost wish I had waited until I had the whole season recorded. You got it right...best new show of the Summer and really surprised USA got it.

Yeah man, it's interesting to try and decipher what's really happening and what's just in his head.

[cantthinkofanything]

Yeah man, it's interesting to try and decipher what's really happening and what's just in his head.

Exactly. Reminds me of Fight Club in that regard. From the previews, I was worried that the lead actor was going to be annoying but he's perfect in the role. Also, that crazy ass exec in IT.
Christian Slater sticks out as not belonging but so far, he doesn't take up too much screen time.
Most of the computer code talk is beyond me.

[ChumpDumper]

What do you think about Transparent, tbh?lol dude couldn't afford Prime.

[HarlemHeat37]

Damn, this show is a nice, tbh..hate the main character's constant David Blaine face, but it's all good:lol..

Have to admit it's pretty strange watching a good show with "USA network" at the bottom, though..I don't think I had watched a USA show since WWF Raw when I was a kid:lol..

Glad someone else is watching this. Only problem I have is the U14 rating. My daughter was going to watch this with us but decided to go outside. The scene with the IT exec and the other dude seemed a little strong for that rating.

[JakeCuenca]

How did a guy with a terrorist name land a a role this big in Hollywood?

I didn't know it was U14, that's pretty surprising, considering the content..that anal scene definitely crossed the U14 line IMO:lol..

I've been pretty surprised at some of the scenes they have shown, considering it's on USA..I've enjoyed it, but ya, might suck if you have kids around..

The frustrating thing is they change the ratings from episode to episode on network shows. Tbh, I don't know if the third was U14. But the first two were. They did get more adult each time. The first had the molly reference and them laying in bed. No big deal. The second had the scene with the dealer walking around in tighty whiteys with his bulge (no homo) and talking about sex stuff. Then the third had the anal scene. And it wasn't a build up to it so we could see it coming. It went from them meeting at the club to some other scene then bam. Lol.

Anyway...good show so far. I need to check out episode 4.

[SpursforSix]

Lol about David Blaine. What a cocky fuck.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Best new show of the summer, tbh
why yes, yes it is

[cantthinkofanything]

Damn. I just watched episode 4 last night. Pretty trippy. Awesome stuff.

[Darth_Pelican]

Damn. I just watched episode 4 last night. Pretty trippy. Awesome stuff.

Yeah, nearly the whole episode focused on all of the crazy shit that goes on in E.lliot's head while he is having morphine withdrawal. Weird stuff indeed. We also learn that the brunette hacker girl knows the guy that blackmailed blondie and her boyfriend to put a virus at the security company, so I wonder what that's all about.

[Darth_Pelican]

Very good episode last night. When E.lliot just degrades the hell out of the guy giving him the tour of the facility, he was completely defeated. And the hackers are evil as hell to send those texts to that guy's supervisor about her husband. They will do and say anything to get what they want. And damn, the guy that works for Evil Corp is crazy, and so is his wife :lol He walks into the bathroom and stands over the girl on the toilet, and she just spreads em. Every character in this show is just an absolute mess; brunette hacker's group fucked up the whole plan, blondie moves back with her dad and has all debt and no future.

Great episode. The week before was good with the withdrawal scenes but I was worried they were going to rely on that gimmick too much and keep it overly weird. But this one was solid and got back to the main story lines. I didn't think I was going to like the blonde character but I've done a 180. I think she's going to be a crazy bitch when it's all said and done.

Yeah the most normal female character on the show is the drug dealer (now waitress), so that's saying something. It looks like the preview for next episode will focus on the abusive drug dealer who E.lliot set up to get arrested. IIRC, he got E.lliot's gf kidnapped at the end of the episode.

[SpursforSix]

Another solid episode with an interesting ending. not wanting to spoil it here. ya'll nigs should be watching this show.
I'm not saying it's Breaking Bad but it's got that kind of potential.

[Spur-Addict]

It definitely has replaced the void left by True Detective although they are by no means a direct comparison. Although Ell is the classic flawed protagonist, what's more compelling is what seems to be his inherent personal conflicts with society (and himself) as a whole that permeates him entirely. You can see him bartering with others at times solely for his personal comfort and advancement, and he makes no long term false representation of that (usually a fleeting moment) as opposed to the Norwegian guy who is basically the complete opposite of him. Although they seem to have comparative abilities from a technological standpoint. And you can foresee a building long term conflict between the two, perhaps they save that for season two. His existence amongst others at a bare minimum for the reasons of survival and the avoidance of mass societal ostracism in a direct sense (as opposed to his choosing), is a trait that I'm sure people can relate to as there always seems to be a base contingency of people that just do not relate to the status quo.

The, Technological/Boondock Saint/Self Medicating Internally Conflicted/Vengeance-Seeking mash-up has been great, no complaints. I do question the longevity of the character. But they have done a great job having multiple plots running simultaneously. I don't see him and his blonde friend having any sort of long term romantic relationship even if it does arise for a period of time.

[Spur-Addict]

Yeah...another one. They sure have the "holy shit" endings. The writing has something that Breaking Bad did in that what should be non-events could instead drastically change the story line. Thinking of the dog eating the chip in particular.

[SpursforSix]

:lol The look on his shrink's face when he told her that she watches anal porn.

I'd like to see some more of the one off side plots that have ****** as a vigilante fixing some injustice or helping someone as a result of his hacking. Like when he fucked with the Pedo or the shrinks boyfriend.

Come on... Elliott.

[FkLA]

:lol He walks into the bathroom and stands over the girl on the toilet, and she just spreads em.

WTF was this shit about? I really didn't understand what her spreading her legs signified. I'm guessing they might have some kind of affair going on but not sure.

Tyrell Wellick is the best character on television right now

This is why I think the show has some of the Breaking Bad potential. The richness and development of the other characters. The crazy drug dealer as well.
IMO, the weakest link is Christian Slater. I guess they wanted one recognizable name but he just isn't that good.

For a while, I was thinking(hoping) that Slater was going to turn out to be a hallucination. But I think too many characters have interacted with him for that to be the case.

I was thinking the same at first. There is still a theory flying around that Slater IS Elliott, like an alter ego. That one seems far fetched though.

Hmmm. Yeah...that would be a pretty massive twist with a lot of moving parts. I hope they can keep this up for at least a few seasons. One of the few shows I really look forward to.

[Darth_Pelican]

Wow. Well that ending cleared some things up! It's sad that there are only 2 episodes left.

[SpursforSix]

damn...I want to read this thread...but I haven't seen the last episode

[Reck]

So...did she know he was her bro this whole time? And how did he forget that? That was trippy as hell.

Also him getting thrown off the railing by Slater now makes perfect sense.

Tyrell is da nigga. :lol

The way he goes from mastermind to maniacal to his wife's bitch is great. Dude has range.

He's like your moderm day Patrick Bateman.

[Darth_Pelican]

So...did she know he was her bro this whole time? And how did he forget that? That was trippy as hell.

Yes, she knew. The scene with her and blondie at the beginning of this episode illustrated that they all grew up together. Elliott and his sister were childhood friends with her, and still are. Elliott is the one who has a hard time remembering things and deciphering fantasy from reality.

Slater (Mr. Robot) throwing Elliott off the railing still doesn't make perfect sense to me, because they still haven't given a clear answer whether Mr. Robot is a hallucination of his father, someone that looks like his father, or the far-fetched idea that it IS his father and is somehow still alive despite claims that he died. So was he pushed by an actual person, or did he jump? I'm still uncertain.

I've read 4 different recaps of last night's episode and every one has a little different perspective. This show keeps me guessing and keeps me on my toes. It's great.

[ChumpDumper]

Elliott just became a super unreliable narrator so there is no sure telling the veracity of any scene he is in. Definitely the best show of the summer.

[Reck]

So was he pushed by an actual person, or did he jump? I'm still uncertain.

Oh that's a good point. I didn't think of that.

But he didn't act suicidal before so the jumping is suspect at best.

LOL trying to think of a sane explanation to all of this is crazy. I'll just enjoy the mind fucking this show is giving me.

[ChumpDumper]

There's more than a little Fight Club in this show, but with enough twists on it to make it original. I just thought Elliott was autistic at first but now I have no idea what his story is. If I had to guess I'd go with childhood mama trauma since I don't remember anything being said about her.

They had a flashback scene with kid Elliott and his mom in the morphine withdrawal episode. His mom was definitely a piece of trash, telling Elliott that his father was a weak piece of shit for "leaving them", although he died thanks to Evil corp.

[Gent]

Evil corp, is that a nickname that the characters give the company or is it the actual name?

With a brand name like that who would want to make business with them? Specially now since the scandal.

I like this show. It has a lot of things going right for it but I'm not on board with the "is it real or is it not" aspect of the show. Could also do without the junkie part of it.

Otherwise, USA really hit it out of the park for once. Well done.

I love that E Corp's logo is basically the Enron logo.

Good summary there. I think we all kew something was coming. But that was well done. I so hope it doesn't turn out to be your third scenario where his it's really his dad and somehow the body and funeral were all faked. Would seem pretty cheap.

Good call on Patrick Bateman up there. Have been thinking the same. Although this guy actually might be capturing the subtleties better that Bale did.

[Reck]

Mr. Robot's first shitty episode.

[InRareForm]

Finale delayed because of shooting

[ChumpDumper]

Spoiler alert?

That's ridiculous. If you are afraid of triggering or something like that, you should probably stick to the Food Network.

[Reck]

USA with the retarded logic.

What would postponing it a week do exactly? A week from now, people close to the situation will still be remember this like yesterday. Might as well re-shoot the episode if that's what you're afraid of.

[ChumpDumper]

Well if you look at it cynically, it's actually free publicity for the show. I've heard Mr. Robot mentioned in outlets that have never said word one about it before. I'll just go ahead and predict record ratings for the finale.

[InRareForm]

A week is plenty of time to binge watch before finale ^

[ChumpDumper]

A week is plenty of time to binge watch before finale ^This is true. It has already been renewed, but could always use more viewers.

[InRareForm]

So I wonder which character shoots another in the finale?

[ChumpDumper]

Or people will just move on to other shows.If they want to see anything scripted, there really isn't much else on.

[Darth_Pelican]

No Tyrell in the finale but still very good. I'm gonna miss this show. I loved the Ashley Madison hack reference in the beginning :lol. And the confrontation between Elliott and Tyrell's wife was great. The suicide wasn't at all similar to the real life news shooting, but I guess I can understand postponing the finale for a week.

[ChumpDumper]

That suicide was totally Bud Dwyer inspired, but having it happen on a news boradcast made it bad enough.

[InRareForm]

Solid ending, however many of the earlier middle episodes were the best of that season , but that's what kept me watching. Lookin forward to season 2.

I like how the show kind of trips you out with all the ****** narrating, the wide array of characters, and the real life similarities

[Reck]

Boring.

Show got pretty lame towards the end. I'm not digging the insanity of Ellio!!t. Is too much like watching a drug addicted on withdrawals. Those kind of episodes kills the mood fast.

Show had a strong start but it's kind of leveling out. USA is back to being a shitty network again.

EDIT:

Why the fuck is the name e.l.l.i.ot censored here?

[Darth_Pelican]

That suicide was totally Bud Dwyer inspired, but having it happen on a news boradcast made it bad enough.

fucking hell.... I hadn't seen that video in years, and curiosity just got the best of me to compare the 2. Now I regret watching it again.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

You guys watched through the credits right?

[redzero]

Damn, I have no idea where this show is going. Between the Sopranos-like dream sequences and the Fight Club-like schizophrenia, Mr. Robot has got me scratching my head.

And I take back my comment about Tyrell Wellick. Price came across as sinister in this episode.

[Spur-Addict]

You guys watched through the credits right?

Yep, nice peak into the next season. Price etc...........is intriguing.

Granted the last episode or two slowed down a bit, there's no reason to write it off. They've done enough work early on to keep me intrigued. The energy everyone wanted in the finale was expended two episodes ago, and it was a gradual decent into the finale. But there still is character development all-around that people are writing off because of this.

[SpursforSix]

Finally saw the finale. Nothing wrong at all. I liked the scene with E and Wellicks GF. Made me wonder if E was Wellick. Reminded me of the scenes between DeNiro and Rourke in Angelheart.

I agree that at some point soon, E's craziness will get to be irritating. Especially if they continually use it as a Deus ex machina device.

But all in all, what a great and unique first season.

[leemajors]

2 eps in, good stuff!

[Darth_Pelican]

Nice to see that it took home the Golden Globe for Best TV Drama. I have no idea how Christian Slater won for best supporting actor.... I thought he was the weak link of the show. Martin Wallstrom (Tyrell Willick) was far more superior as supporting actor.

[oh crap]

Can't wait for season two. And yes, where the fuck is Tyrell? I wonder if season one will show up on Netflix or anything sometime soon.

[Spur-Addict]

Wednesday

[Darth_Pelican]

I re-watched the season 1 finale a couple nights ago. I'm ready for tomorrow.

[Darth_Pelican]

Where the fuck is Tyrell Wellick?

Likely hiding out. The EvilCorp CEO said in the after credits scene that they know who did it, and they will deal with him. I doubt they know who Elliott is so he must be referring to Tyrell.

I don't want to read any possible spoiler stuff.

[Spurminator]

Just finished season 1. Seems like a significant unanswered thread that could be a possible clue for what happened to Tyrell is the gun that Darlene hid in the popcorn machine.

[Boogie Munster]

Awesome two opening episodes. Loved how they picked up the frantic pace now. The show has gotten exceptionally darker. And including Lupe Fiasco and Phil Collins continues to prove whoever is choosing the music for the show is a genius.

[oh crap]

only a few mins in but using old school Lupe in the intro and bringing in Joey Bada$$ to join the cast is pretty dope

[InRareForm]

Sort of slow episode but first episodes usually are.

I like the music and the feel of it.

How are they not getting in trouble for taking over that baller high tech small house?

[leemajors]

:lol Phil Collins

[InRareForm]

I know she isn't that great, but she has that skater chick hot (Darlene)

[oh crap]

I actually thought Angela was looking kind of hot until she took brotha man home

[leemajors]

the office scene with her was weird. She has on bright red lipstick while on the phone, then when that bitch and her boss come back after she hangs up she has no lipstick at all

nice catch. was making a snack while watching and missed it the first time.

also, I saw part of the lead actor's interview w Jimmy Fallon the other night and he's pretty awkward in real life too.

Probably why he got the part.

[Biernutz]

I love the show because of the strangeness.

[redzero]

:lol Phil Collins

That scene was great, and I don't even like Phil Collins.

[Darth_Pelican]

adderall Elliott :lol

"Did I just say all of that out loud? "Shit, I did"

[InRareForm]

puke is worse than poop. i hated that scene tbh...

[Blake]

Couple of episodes in and I like it. Has a sort of Matrix feel with the characters

[InRareForm]

Yeah, definitely has a matrix vibe to it

[Boogie Munster]

If Gasper Noe directed The Matrix, you would have Mr. Robot, tbh.

[InRareForm]

Best episode of season 2 tbh...

Looks like exciting things are happening

[redzero]

Wow, that shootout came out of nowhere.

[Spur-Addict]

Wow, that shootout came out of nowhere.

That it did. I like the camera angle throughout that scene as well

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Ok I'm confused
Lol
Some parts been a little boring so maybe wasn't paying good attention

Why the heck does fat black comedy guy give Elliott access to his comp so willy nilly

[Darth_Pelican]

Ok I'm confused
Lol

Why the heck does fat black comedy guy give Elliott access to his comp so willy nilly

The black dude said "I told you not to look" and then proceeded to have his crew beat the crap out of him after he did. I think Elliott is just so wrapped up in his head regarding the Ecorp hack, the FBI closing in, and seeing his dead father that he didn't even realize that the black dude was clearly running some kind of illegal business. He just wanted to get back on a computer.

[Darth_Pelican]

Wow, that shootout came out of nowhere.

I like the FBI chick. She did seem a little ditzy when she had her private time with the Asian guy, but I think that was a cover.

[Darius McCrary]

Plus she fingers herself to text-based cyber sex. I didn't even realize that was a thing anymore.

This is too cool. I'd watch the shit outta this movie.

[redzero]

That episode was... interesting.

[InRareForm]

Great camera work with angela scene.... Her acting was great too. Has the perfect anxiety look tbh..

That first 15 minutes was a trip. I need to smoke a J before watching this series

[LaMarcus Bryant]

That intro was the biggest trip I've seen since adult swims Too Many Cooks

[redzero]

I didn't even know what Too Many Cooks was until I saw this episode. I can't believe I missed it the first time around.

[redzero]

Of course he is in prison. Fucking Reddit.

[InRareForm]

Of course he is in prison. Fucking Reddit.

what? they spoiled it or something... i don't understand?

[InRareForm]

"Would you like to celebrate with me tonight"

No.

lol classic.

[InRareForm]

Great episode. Darlene going all in.

That lawyer is super annoying with the lollipop

[oh crap]

thought it was one of the best eps of the season

[oh crap]

and yeah, the lollipop is fucking annoying

[Spur-Addict]

I thought Mobley was going to start singing like Adele.

:lol Transporting a dead body on the subway

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Grace gummer :lol

[InRareForm]

so so episode but it ended good

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Man this season is confusing lol

I thought black dreads guy was another elliott personality, but the jail thing made sense.

[Spur-Addict]

Would have been more realistic if he at least wounded Dom. Guy unloaded an automatic weapon probably six feet away from here with glass and a wall in the way. Come on son

:lol when the driver peeled off when the shooter headed back to the bike

[Boogie Munster]

I think the only target was Cisco. Darlene survived too, imo.

[Spur-Addict]

Fair point. But with an automatic weapon there's bound to be collateral damage. We'll probably hear that some other person died in the shooting next episode, but miraculously the two people in closest proximity will likely be neither. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the show. It's one of two shows that I look forward to seeing as of right now. But that kind of rubbed me the wrong way a little.

Looks like Darlene and Cisco were both shot in the head. Maybe a part of me just wanted Dom to get shot, what are gonna do

[Biernutz]

This week shows was a little flat compared to the week before where it was just crazy.
Love the show....on my DVR list.

[redzero]

Darlene is okay. Cisco might be fine, too...I'm kidding, he's dead as fuck.
Holy shit! Did you see that fucking head come apart, man?

[HarlemHeat37]

This is my favorite show right now, but damn, fucking tired of seeing Angela's face on tv, tbh..does she only have 1 expression?:lol

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Lol
Between lollipop agent and Angela it can be tough

Luckily we have Darlene to look at too. No way they kill her off

He never turns the gun toward Darlene. The gun is aimed in the same direction the entire time. Darlene is fine.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

WTF was up with the songs from Back to the Future?

Angela was being taken away with the car playing a 50s song from the malt shop
Episode closes with Earth Angel

Weird lol

[InRareForm]

This show is making you question everything on what's real or not.... It's good but also frustrating.

Angela really needs to smile

[redzero]

This season is like Metal Gear Solid 2. Esmail is straight fucking with his fans.

[InRareForm]

I thought the music and filming was good for the finale. Although I am frustrated that phase 2 wasn't done... and we have to wait a long time to see if it actually happens. The Darlene interrogation scene was a little long, but seeing her reaction on how much INFO on the board they had was classic.

This season had very little direction with tons of confusion. Although I enjoyed it, I hope season 3 moves along with more story rather than mind tricks. Esmail messing around with us is fine, but I think he tends to overdo it at times. What I liked about breaking bad was that it just moved at a perfect pace with story, Mr. Robot is just inconsistent.

[Reck]

This season was just off somehow. Didn't like it as much as the first.

[vander]

so far watched 5 episodes of season 1, it's been rough, possibly the most childish show I've ever watched, unless it's a parody. this is a parody, right?

[DMC]

Lead actor is great. Show is great as a stand alone show. Two episodes in I was seeing Fight Club and Beautiful Mind all over again. Its paper thin "reveal" waiting to happen turned me off. Also, it tries to be smart and fails with too many cliche emo monologues.

Slater was god awful and reminded me of the finale for The Newsroom, almost carbon copy.

[Darth_Pelican]

Yeah, they're going swimming with the sharks to make this a fall show. I enjoyed this over the past 2 summers.

Season 2 is way different than season 1. I liked it a lot better, but it's a lot slower buildup. Be patient early on, it ends up being worth it.

[leemajors]

:tu

[DMC]

Season 2 was another silly reveal. I get the poetic license bullshit but eventually you have to call a spade a spade. They spent half the season on things that, in the end, didn't matter because they never happened. That's what happens when you don't have enough material for a series - you do the "it was all a dream" JR - Dallas bullshit. This time it was the "I couldn't reveal it to you" angle.

Still, pretty damn good show, lead actor is a stud and perfect in that role. It just feels like a rip off of Fight Club way too much. They take too much liberty with the 4th wall, which would be fine if it was a movie instead of a series that has to find a way to keep going. I lost trust in their honesty to the plot.

[redzero]

The scenes happened, but not in the way they initially appeared to.

But yes, it does feel like Sam Esmail is trying too hard to subvert expectations.

[Darth_Pelican]

13 months between season 2 finale and season 3 premier. smh. I will have to rewatch the finale just to remember all the goings on.

Season overall pretty good? Gotta rewatch season 2 then dive into this ish :smokin

[DMC]

oooh it's out?

Sweet

[Cuppycake Gumdrop]

Season 2’s prison reveal is still the biggest mindfucker moment in TV, but yeah I think Season 3 tops it overall. That tracking shot episode was equal parts awesomeness and pretentiousness, kinda like the show as a whole.

[spurraider21]

i just finished season 3 yesterday... tbh the show lost a lot of momentum

season 1 was just fantastic through and through. its really funny, i was thinking it had a fight club feel with all the overly generic "fuck capitalism and society" stuff... but then it REALLY went fight club :lol

season 2 was fun too because of the prison thing, and price was always fun to watch.

i thought season 3 was a drag with highlights here and there (that long one-shot scene with angela, the finale was great too). when an episode ended in season 1 it was difficult to not continue and binge. didnt feel that way as i got further into the show

[Spurminator]

Anyone watched Homecoming yet? Sam Esmail certainly has a style.

so did my wife, and the reviews are great. i dno, the first half was such a drag to me that it became a chore to watch imo. the finale was strong though.

[Monostradamus]

Bobby Cannavale and the Tyrell Wellick episode were both enough to make Season 3 fantastic imo. It does suffer from the problem where the main character has become the least interesting person on the show.

[spurraider21]

yes every scene with him was a treat. he killed it in the finale (see what i did there?). also the black dark army dude was really fun to watch.

and i disagree on wellick. dude was such an awesome character in season 1. in season 3 he was just an annoying shit, and i never bought into his whole religious meltdown thing. also angela's character had way too much back and forth throughout the series.

the actor who played dom's fbi superior was just terrible. i mean consistently was one of the worst acting performances i can remember watching on a major show like this. dom was mostly shit too. dont remember which episode, but there was a scene where they were arguing and it legit felt like 2 high school students auditioning for a play

Ripped the series from Pirate Bay a year ago. I recently started reorganizing my music and came across this series. Will likely start watching maybe when I get home tonight. Is it connected to I.T. the same way 'Halt and Catch Fire' was?

If the actor who plays Vera doesn’t win some kind of award for his performance, it will be one of the greatest snubs in awards history.

[Darth_Pelican]

Spoiler below:

WTF @ Episode 11 :lol Looks like Mr. Robot is going full on sci-fi to end the series. So White Rose's "weapon" is actually a machine that created a parallel universe where everyone is happy. Of course it looks like Elliott is still fucked up in the head. Can't wait for the finale next weekend.

Would seem so out of place if it really is a parallel universe. I think this is all in Elliott’s mind. There is still the other personality that hasn’t been revealed, that could be the alternate Elliott.

[monosylab1k]

Yeah, episodes 7-8-9 is about as good a 3 episode stretch as anything I’ve ever seen.

[Darth_Pelican]

Yeah, could be. But what was the purpose of White Rose's machine being activated, and it looks like the Elliott in the current universe died from the nuclear meltdown? But they do show in the promo Elliott laying in the street, so maybe he escaped.

Edit: Also, Elliott in the parallel universe is having head issues (possibly from radiation), so yeah, your theory seems more logical the more I think about it.

[monosylab1k]

What a damn good ending. How did this show get so forgotten?

[monosylab1k]

SPOILERS:

Loved the ending, but it did leave a few too many loose ends for my liking.

1. What did Tyrell see in the forest?
2. There’s no way Dom running into Bobby Cannavale at the airport was truly a coincidence. What did he write in her book?
3. What exactly was Whiterose’s machine supposed to do?

[DMC]

i lost track of the goings on in the series and don't have the will power to catch up on it.

SEASON 4

[Darth_Pelican]

What a damn good ending. How did this show get so forgotten?

The 2 year break killed the momentum. I rewatched the finale of S3 before S4 just so I could remember what had happened. S4 was damn good.
