Wow!! What an episode. The performances & music were so good. The final 2 acts were a compelling watch.

Just watched it. Bloody hell what an episode.

Anyone notice that each act represented each of the five stages of grief?

Wow.. what an episode. The actor who plays Vega was absolutely sensational, especially in that last monologue. Rami Malek as usual hit it out of the park. The revelation does make sense but it almost goes against the arc of the season so far. Curious how they are going to follow this up, especially given where Darlene is right now.

Absolutely. He's sharing the screen with an Oscar winner and the were times when I felt he was out shining Rami Malek.
Another great episode and a fantastic season so far. Probably the best thing on TV as it's beautifully shot with some great music and fantastic acting by everyone involved. Also the small things like 2 lines of dialogue, the five acts representing the fine stages of grief show how effort has gone into making this.

I must be one of the rare ones who hated an entire episode based on psycho babble. Gosh, that was so boring, they took it so long to reveal something so obvious for a while

Just watched episode seven. Think it's the best episode of TV I've seen since Ozymandias. Incredible stuff.

10 out of 10.

Best episode of the season (yet). I thought next week‘s was the show‘s finale; so glad we have another FIVE episodes left.

Any take on Whiterose‘s project - Tyrell‘s whereabouts, Dom‘s fate?

  • Tyrell isn't dead, abs will be back to do the hack, since Elliot isn't going to do it .
  • Dom is not gonna survive, and Darlene will join Tyrell.
  • Krista will continue Elliot's therapy sessions upon his request and will act as a parental figure to him

Think Tyrell is very dead - only way we see him is a flashback. I think the more likely scenario is the hack being performed by Mr Robot. As for Krista, I think that was a fitting end to her character arc. We might get a small cameo at the end but that felt like her last meaningful contribution. Agreed on Dom - that’s definitely not the end for her.

Woah.

I gave up on this after that super weird episode where they spent 20 minutes in a car like it was an 80’s sitcom. I guess I should go back and give it another shot.
That season 2 episode? It was definitely a weird one. I know that season 2 is considered not as good as the first, but season 3 is absolutely fantastic. It is worth a watch.

Season two is by far the weakest season but even then the last few episodes are great. And yea, that 80s sitcom episode sucked balls.

Season three is superb with some incredible individual episodes and season four is taking it to a whole other level so far.

Honestly the cinematography, acting, soundtrack and overall intensity of season's three and four is probably the closest I've seen to Breaking Bad since it ended. Oh and if you need proof just look at the episode ratings on IMDB!

The last scene had me in my feelings tbh. I'm glad Mr.Robot is still here

It's very good but still nowhere the best for me.

Can't wait to see today's one. Last week's was very tense. Couldn't help but watch that violent moment towards the end of the episode several times on repeat. Really kicked ass.

That was fecking awesome!! The music was on point & the panic Whiterose showed when he finds out what happened... loved it!!

Wonder what the other personalities want to tell Elliot? What did he do?!

Good to finally have an episode with a positive ending.

Few thoughts:

- felt like a final episode of a show where the good guys win, only for Esmail to f*ck us all up next week most probably
- felt like the end of Whiterose
- Price‘s performance, especially owning Whiterose, was incredible
- one major twist coming up it seems
- Darlene/Mr. Robot/Elliot combo was class

Mr Robot saying “I’m going to tell him what he did” - I’m beginning to suspect the “real” Elliot killed Edward Alderson. By real, I mean the fully aware Elliot.

Saw someone post these quotes from the much hated sitcom episode.

Mr. Robot:
"First you're hearing voices. Now you're seeing things."

"I promise, there are other fish in the sea. And if you're anything like your old man... On second thought, don't be anything like your old man."

"Hey, uh, back there, what we talked about, let's just keep that between us, okay? Don't even tell your mom. Just our little secret."


Damn, I'll definitely need to rewatch it at some point, must be loads of little clues.

Slower episode after the last few epic ones. Irving is a brilliant character, nice cameo.

Loved the line “They were so powerful they wrote the laws to benefit themselves...”
