I think the girl in the drug house dellusion is Joanna - does anyone else see the resemblance?

One way to take it is that Tyrell is Elliot's dad, except younger than the Christian Slater version, like when he worked at Evil Corps.   Joanna discusses giving birth to a girl and giving her up for adoption while talking about how much she loves her newborn son.  This could refer to Darlene, and how she is absent from all of Elliot's childhood flashbacks.  She also looks like Elliot's abusive mother. She seems to know Elliot when they talk, and looks like she may know about Elliot's mental illness, similar to Elliot's mother later in the finale in Time Square.  Is Tyrell another manifestation of Mr. Robot?  Possibly.  Another way to take it is that they are all real people, just another couple repeating Elliot's childhood memories.

See below. This is a major recognition!

I know this sounds weird, but hear me out...

After binge watching the show for 5th time, I noticed something strange. The season finale, during the post credit scene where Whiterose is seen talking to the CEO of Evil Corp. in the mansion where a bunch other wealthy people ( or as Elliot would call them - "The top 1% of the top 1%. The guys that play God without permission." ;) ) are seen socialising, one would assume that Whiterose is working with Evil Corp. all along, right? 

Well, maybe... Could it possible that Whiterose could be like a triple agent who is actually on Elliot's side? There was this particular line in that post credit scene that got me suspicious.

Whiterose: "Oh, your troubles are weighing heavily on you. I'm not entirely sure why. I was told that you know the person responsible."
Phillip Price: "Yes, yes. Of course we do. And we'll  handle that person as we usually do."

There isn't a doubt that they were talking about Elliot. But this is why I think it's strange. Whiterose knows Elliot ( from the meeting in episode 8 ), but instead of saying Elliot's name to Philip Price he says -" I was told that you know the person responsible."

So basically, he saying that he (at least to some degree) didn't know who initiated the hack. Which means that he's lying. So could it be possible that he is actually working with Elliot as his inside man? I agree that it sounds kinda far fetched, but when you really think about it makes sense. 

In episode 8, at the end of meeting with Whiterose, Elliot says - "Why are you working with us?" Whiterose doesn't respond, instead she just smiles. Which could indicate that Whiterose is working with the Evil Corp. or she made some kind of deal with Elliot and he could have forgotten about it. It's seems possible as during this time Elliot completely forgets about his past.

Whiterose isn't going to be some kinda of secondary antagonist in show. With less than 20 minutes of screen time throughout the entire season, he/she is still managed to be an interesting character. I think that Whiterose is going to play a pivotal role in the coming season(s).

Anyways, what do you guys think? 

As you watch, comment here on the episodes and the cast comments that accompany them! See my blog for details on the marathon.

So Rami Malek just got nominated for an SAG Award for Mr. Robot. So well deserved :D 

Did anyone notice the copy of a translation of The Treasury of the True Dharma Eye (aka Shobogenzo) on display when Terry Colby offered Angela a job in episode 9 (approx 38minutes)? Its a famous Zen Buddhist text written by the founder of the Soto Zen Sect, Eihei Dogen (1200-125?).

I searched the web for some insight on this topic but found nothing. Any ideas as to the influence of Zen and Mr Robot?

Elliot looked at the popcorn machine where darlene stashed the gun in the arcade.

Just a thought, considering that Tyrell shares his name with the corporation from Blade Runner. There must be some old history between Tyrell and Mr Robot, as alluded to when Tyrell talked about the exposing Mr Robots dirty secret. Thinking maybe they were online buddies years earlier via hacker irc channels

Do someone here know which typ of Linux he's on?

And maybe which types of software and kernels he uses? Asking just out of interest (:

Otherwise we might be able to discuss the in movie hacking and probability here, just for fun.

I just caught on to the joke. As someone who gets many his shows from the warez scene, I've been waiting for the episode titles to be updated to their actual names. Then I'm like "Why does this wiki and IMDb, etc. have these leet-lite file names, too?"

Yeah it seems pretty impossible but how much more impossible than being Mr. Robot? If I must accept that in every past scene with Christian Slater he was either Elliot or not there at all then I guess that I can accept that his scene with Tyrell was actually two of Elliot's personas in conversation. I can also accept that in Elliot's scene with Joanna Wellick that she spoke to him as a different person because she is aware of his duality (triality? quadality?) and was fishing for clues as to when he would become her husband again.

Whatever the truth, we know that there'll be plenty more mindfuckery next season.

Did anyone notice how Darlene sarcastically said to Angela “After all you’re ‘Family’” in the episode when they were looking for Elliot in his hometown and visited the graveyard? What was she getting at? I know Angela is a “childhood friend” of Elliot’s but is it possible she is something more? Could Elliot have been married to her at one point? It would explain his embarrasement when Angela visited Elliott and Shayla was there in bed...it would also explain the sexual subtext they seem to have with each other...

Thoughts?

3 adrenalinic minutes, wow! Great sequence. Is she really a Timenoic? maybe the time is only a pretext to challenge Elliot.

Episode 110: Zero Day

Season Finale. a brave new world. but where are mr. robot and tyrell? & 1 of elliots past hacks comes back to haunt him. TEOTWAWKI?
