The only parts I’ve been left struggling to understand a bit are - how the Mastermind didn’t know who Darlene and Elliot’s father were in season 1. And apparently it’d happened before then too? -how real Elliot had seemingly no issue living in the fake world where Darlene just flat out didn’t exist. Didn’t he wonder where she was, or why his life was suddenly totally different?
Shout out to this, as much as I wish more watched this show, it’s been really cool having this little corner of Chorus just be occupied with like the same 10-15 people as opposed to thousands of randos yelling over each other on reddit haha
Darlene was real Elliot’s anchor to the world, so Mastermind tried to erase her memory so real Elliot wouldn’t emerge.
Oh yeah, I get why she’s gone — I meant more like, wouldn’t real Elliot wake up in this fake world and, just like the Mastermind, be like yo wtf I had a sister where is she?
Just finished watching the finale. What an ending. Even though at times it felt like I had no idea what was going on, I love how it kept me guessing. Still amazes me that a show like this aired on USA too. Props to everyone involved with the show over the four seasons.
Sorry if this has been asked and I missed it. But.... does anyone think that we are the real Elliot? Think about Darlene’s last shot, that we never see the real Elliot, the fact that we weren’t “created” until around the time the Mastermind took over, etc. Currently rewatching, s2e7 the Christian group therapist suggest when Elliot “goes away” to talk to someone (us), he’s talking to god, this is what got me thinking
But we've seen where real elliot has been and what he's seen (his *perfect world*) and he's completely shocked by the appearence of "our Elliot"(Mastermind). If mastermind had been talking to him all along, he wouldn't be shocked by any of the stuff in the finale. Right? I don't know. Also has there been a definitive name scheme for all the Elliots because it's getting real confusing haha
The rationale I thought of for this is that: - maybe Esmail is implying that the viewer is living in their own “perfect world” - Mastermind is surprised by the stuff in the finale because he forgot that he was only a part of the Real Elliot and not the actual thing - Real Elliot’s surprise in the finale would maybe be a manifestation of our own surprise as the viewer, watching a crazy twist ending unfold in front of us?
I just want to know what reality we need to be in for this mfing show to get the recognition it deserves.
right? I know awards shows are bullshit anyway but Rami not winning for this season is fucking madness
Rami's acting in this show is literally some of the best I've ever seen in any medium The guy that plays Vera deserves something for his last episode too
Having a lot of fun watching my girlfriend absolutely lose her shit at the reveal of a third personality in s4e2
Just spent all week binging the final season for the first time. Bravo, Sam Esmail. Fucking incredible strong characters and storytelling.
Finished my rewatch a couple weeks ago and it was just as impactful as the first go round. Unbelievable, this show
I did my rewatch as soon as the big revelation of Elliot's father came in s4e7 to look for clues. Was such a good rewatch. I'm now wishing I waited until the whole show was complete haha. I need to do another rewatch now.
Finally getting into Comedy Central’s The Other Two. Having a good laugh at their portrayal of Justin Theroux’s apartment, where some of the main characters are temporarily living. Look familiar?
Ok sooooooo finally getting around to watching season 4 and just watched the first episode. Holy shit that was intense and I forgot how good this show is. The cinematography is so fucking good.
on balance, my favourite season of the show. the Tyrell episode, episode 7 with Vera, Darlene/Dom episode and the finale are all up there with the greatest episodes of Mr. Robot. the only missteps for me were Olivia's whole storyline and the dialogue-free episode, which is a little too gimmicky. on the whole it's an absolutely jaw-dropping way to close out the show
Absolutely agree, even with the few missteps. I think S4E7 is the best episode this show has done. So emotionally powerful.
