Mr. Robot	comment	Hello, friend.Mr. Robot is a USA Network original drama-thriller series created by Sam Esmail, starring Rami Malek and Christian Slater. Premiering on June 24, 2015, it ran for four seasons and concluded with a two-hour finale on December 22, 2019.The series follows Elliot Alderson, a computer programmer who leads a double life as a hacker carrying out digital vigilantism. After discovering the existence of a secretive hacker group known as fsociety, Elliot gets recruited by their mysterious leader, Mr. Robot, and joins their digital war against E Corp, a MegaCorp with whom Elliot has a personal grudge. He soon learns, however, that the economic revolution he's trying to spearhead may be larger than he ever imagined, and that other forces could be pulling the strings.The show is a Pastiche of transgressive, postmodern works such as Fight Club, The Matrix, Twin Peaks, and American Psycho. The presentation of the show is likened to the eccentric styles of David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick, and Alfred Hitchcock, for its use of Genre-Busting direction, psychoanalytic motifs, dark visuals, and a distinctive cinematographic method known as "quadrant framing", creating a paranoid and detached perspective of the show's world. Mr. Robot also notably averts Hollywood Hacking by creating accurate, realistic depictions of hacking and technology.The show has been spun off into a mobile game Mr. Robot:1.51exfiltrati0n.apk developed by Night School Studio and published by Telltale Games as well as a novel, Mr. Robot: Red Wheelbarrow (eps1.91_redwheelbarr0w.txt), written by Sam Esmail and Courtney Looney. A comic book prequel written by Sam Esmail was announced, but has since languished in Development Hell for unknown reasons.

Mr. Robot / int_1869b4b1	type	Unreliable Narrator
Mr. Robot / int_1869b4b1	comment	Unreliable Narrator: While this is a no-brainer and could fill a Doorstopper with examples alone, it is still very much justified considering that Elliot legitimately suffers from a laundry list of mental disorders, one of which has psychogenic amnesia as a symptom. Elliot seems to think that random men in black are following him at all times, but Krista asserts that they are born out of delusion. It is never known whether the men in black are actually there or just Elliot's paranoia. According to Elliot, he has underwent "intensive self-reprogramming" to see visualize any mention of E Corp as "Evil Corp," as it is all he sees and hears. Elliot's withdrawal nightmare definitely indicates that there is a much deeper method to his madness as his hallucinations become more cryptic. Despite seeing a picture of only him and his mother early in season one, Elliot later finds that the same picture now features his father and sister. Elliot discovers that Mr. Robot is an alternate personality of his, and that every single one of their experiences was really Elliot taking charge. Played straight in season two, where Elliot purposely lies to the audience about being in seclusion at his mother's house and the circumstances surrounding it when he was actually arrested and locked in prison for hacking Lenny Shannon. Early in season one, Elliot mentions that he strictly controls his drug usage to avoid "turning into a junkie." However, Vera later mocks him for not admitting to himself that is a junkie already.

As we learn much later, E Corp seems to engage in this on a regular basis when it comes to its employees. The Dark Army also utilizes this via incredibly cold calculus â€” i.e. murder, to guarantee precision, loyalty, and endurance. If all else fails, compromised members promptly commit suicide to preserve the organization's "sanctity."

Stage two is engineered within a vacant warehouse where Tyrell is also shacking up, away from public scrutiny. The offices of Allsafe Cybersecurity are barren following the 5/9 hack, with very little left of the original firm we remember. Elliot and Mr. Robot set up shop in these offices in season four, transforming it into another base for their campaign against Whiterose. The Washington Township Plant in "eXit", which is also Unexpectedly Abandoned. At least until Whiterose's Dark Army commandos show up, at which point it is made clear that they slaughtered everyone.

On the day of their child's birth, she threatens to leave him if he doesn't fix the professional mess he's made. She even gets a very subtle Scrubbing Off the Trauma allusion in a scene where she's scrubbing a stain off her dress while scheming with her husband. In spite of everything that happens to Tyrell and some infidelities on her part, she stays loyal to Tyrell and continues trying to advance his interests. Angela herself took over this position in season 3 when she started manipulating Elliot by working with Mr Robot. She helps him complete Stage 2 and motivates him to fight off Elliot, even if it means he will no longer exist.

Mr. Robot / int_1e7487cd	comment	Breaking the Fourth Wall: Elliot's narration isn't just an explanation of what's going on in the show. It's actually a one-sided conversation with the audience that has Elliot regularly asking the viewers for support and confirmation. At the end of the pilot, Elliot turns to look straight at the camera as his inner monologue directly asks the audience if they're seeing what he's seeing. Near the end of "wh1ter0se" after learning that Darlene is his sister and he has forgotten much of his life, Elliot turns to the camera and asks, "Were you in on this? Were you?" In the final episode, Elliot has a conversation with a mental construct of Krista, and she addresses the audience as well.

By season three, martial law has begun to sweep over the United States, with other countries experiencing civil unrest and utter chaos due to the global economic depression. It almost serves as an origin story for a classic cyberpunk setting, a tale of how our modern world can end up like that.

Elliot's personality and arc of vengeance against the predators who prey on innocent lives, specifically men and later on the Dark Army has some elements of a feminist revenge genre (but Inverted and less violent) like Lady Snowblood, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), Ms. 45, I Spit on Your Grave, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance and Film/MFA.

Eps3.5kill-process.inc ends not only with Elliot failing to stop the Dark Army's terrorist attack, but with SEVENTY-ONE buildings being obliterated by the UPS exploit instead of the one he has spent the entirety of season three trying to rescue.

It shows that how much Whiterose's brainwashing has turned her into a sociopathic jerk. Whiterose and her lieutenants engage in petty cruelty while carrying out the business with the worst example being organizing a terror attack with massive casualties purely out of personal spite. Ultimately, this behavior drives very much antagonistic characters like Elliot, Mr Robot, Tyrell, Price, Darlene, and Dominique to set aside their differences just to see Zheng being taken down. So much so that even selfish executives like Tyrell and Price are willing to die for this cause.

Mr. Robot / int_3b4f620a	comment	No Fourth Wall: The show is barely contained within its own reality; Elliot and Mr. Robot both acknowledge us, the audience, and often involve us in the action when the two are experiencing a power struggle. Elliot himself states right off the bat that we're just another construct in his head, and that we're only able to watch the show because he created us. Logically, the series ends once Elliot (revealed to be the Mastermind) relinquishes control, and Host!Elliot wakes up, thereby rebuilding the fourth wall and locking us out of his thoughts forever like the rest of his alters.

Elliot is arrested for hacking Lenny Shannon when he takes Flipper to be examined by a veterinarian and unwittingly has the dog's microchip scanned in the process. It turns out, when you wipe out all records of debts owed to an enormous corporation in the aim of bringing down the top one percent of the top one percent and fomenting a revolution, what actually happens is the economy collapses and the elite you were fighting can still work the system to their benefit. Who would have thought? This one point ultimately becomes the driving arc for the latter two seasons. Being followed by the Dark Army, Elliot is unable to sabotage stage two at the hacker tournament. Stage two targets the other seventy-one recovery buildings instead of the one Elliot labors to save because of his decision to divert the paper records. Trenton and Mobley are made sacrificial lambs for the Dark Army once their identities are ousted in the national media. Elliot, Darlene and Price keep on trying to pull Angela away from Whiterose's brainwashing. But their attempts end up futile as Angela is completely beyond repair and continues to be stubborn, which eventually ends up to be her undoing as it causes her death.

Tyrell sleeps with a male secretary in order find information on the favored candidate for CTO of E Corp and later sets a dinner party with the man purely to gain leverage. Meanwhile, Joanna is shown to have put Tyrell up to some of these actions. Following Tyrell's disappearance, she begins dating a bartender so she can use him as a means to absolve Tyrell of a murder charge against him. It works, but it ends up leading to her own murder by the bartender when Joanna reveals her true love for Tyrell. Elliot and pretty much everyone else in Fsociety kind of have to be this to carry out social engineering for their hacks. Whiterose is the ultimate manipulator, having been responsible for Price's implementation as CEO of E Corp as well as supposedly having U.S. President Donald Trump elected.

This is softened by Darlene's presence however, and it is implied that she and Elliot will finally be able to reconnect and heal together. However, given Sam Esmail's assertion that most of, if not all of his shows and movies take place in a shared universe, along with its many direct callbacks and references to various events taken place in the show, Leave the World Behind implies that any peace and healing that Elliot gains probably isn't long for this world, considering that the movie ends with America in the midst of being taken over by a foreign power and in the midst of a horrific civil war, leaving an already heart-wrenching ending a lot more bitter than sweet.

Coming to NBC this fall." It's named SHIFT+CONTROL. During the same rant, as often, he also turns to face the camera and talks directly to it. "Payment required" (4x02) opens with montage full of jabs at very particular existing political and corporate leaders. Later in the same episode, when Price tells Zheng that the latter's Christmas tree is unbalanced, the reply is nonchalant admittance that it is unbalanced "to the left," One of the main criticisms of the show since very beginning was its one-sided political affiliation.

Angela suffers from insecurity due to the fact she doesn't feel respected in any of her workplaces, even in All Safe despite the fact Gideon is nice to both her and Elliot and feels stepped on after Terry banishes her from an E Corp meeting and Ollie cheats on her. The only person who respects and values her and loves her for who she is is Elliot himself. He has shown his kindness and caring to her and she was always amazing in everything she did in his eyes and appreciated her talents. When Darlene asked her to help her and fsociety in their femtocell hack against the FBI, Elliot advised her to not join them because he doesn't want to risk her safety and has been nothing but kind to her her whole life. Sadly, due to E Corp's influence and Whiterose's corruption, Angela lets her power and greed get the better off her and repays Elliot's kindness by using and bullying him for Stage 2, mainly due to the fact she was jealous of him being the Chosen One and decided to bring him down to her level and eventually gave up on him for good.

However, when Colby is rude to Angela during a meeting, it's the final straw that makes Elliot frame Colby for a conspiracy, which he knows will destroy Colby's life. Mr. Robot pushes Elliot off a pier because Elliot did not want to get innocent people killed in Mr. Robot's latest plan and tried to offer an alternative. After The Reveal, it's Elliot's guilt for ratting his father out making him do so. Elliot learns that Shayla is abused by her dealer, Fernando Vera, so he tips off the police and Vera ends up in prison. Vera retaliates by having Shayla kidnapped, threatening to kill her if Elliot doesn't break him out of prison and not letting Elliot know until later that Shayla was already dead. Tyrell angrily fires three of his E Corp subordinates when they unwittingly insult him (while discussing workers who sleep with members of the same sex for promotions) in a casual conversation they were having. When they ask him what they did wrong, he blithely responds: "Nothing." In perhaps the most egregious example, the episode "dont-delete-me" reveals Whiterose blew up 71 buildings and killed over 4000 people because he pushed back on helping her annex the Congo before acquiesing.

Mr. Robot / int_5ce7dbb9	comment	Central Theme: So far, there is one that can be deduced for each season: Season one: Exposing truth, and ousting those who are pulling the strings. The general plot revolves around hacking the economy and revealing it for the "sham" that it is, while also detailing that Elliot himself is a personal victim of manipulation by Mr. Robot. This ends up becoming the plot arc for the last four episodes. Season two: Control is an illusion. For the entirety of the season, Elliot tries to take back control from Mr. Robot but ultimately fails, Darlene is unable to keep fsociety together as a group when the chips are officially down, and Angela learns that all of her hard work in attacking E Corp from within was for nothing. Season three: Accepting the truth, and ridding oneself of denial. Elliot's plot stems from his realization that 5/9 was a mistake, Darlene has to come to terms with her brother's mental illness, Mr. Robot has to literally be lectured about how his "revolution" was already decided for him, and Angela has to be explicitly told how much of a pawn she has become to Whiterose as well as how ridiculous her agenda is in the long-run.

He snaps out of it upon going free, despite Elliot himself disagreeing, going as far as to doubt that Tyrell is even real. Angela spends all of season three slowly entering what can only be described as a permanent fugue state. She hides in her apartment, slowly obsessing over resurrecting her mother, Elliot's father, and the innocents who have paid the price for the revolution. Her paranoia reaches a breaking point, and eventually she voluntarily abandons her apartment to live on the streets, disguised as a vagrant.

Mr. Robot / int_62f9d08e	comment	Freeze-Frame Bonus: A few can be found when Elliot is hacking, such as Krista's brutally honest dating profile and Gideon's emails about cookies. Some of these are implied to be created by Elliot's subconscious and reflect on his feelings about them. When the camera is following Susan Jacobs around on her jog back home, you can briefly see Darlene watching her. Pausing when the camera skims over Elliot's journal reveals some funny entries, such as him trying out potato latkes for the first time, and an entry stating that "Obama is pretty hot." When Elliot is receiving a beatdown in "h4ndshake", you can briefly see that Mr. Robot is taking the hits for Elliot. Viewers can get a glimpse into Irving's eclectic personal life from a few blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments in "eps3.2_legacy.so", like the various jokes on his collection of cheesy portable mugs or a page from the novel he's working on in which the protagonist is beaten over a misunderstanding. In the episode "401 Unauthorized", Elliot and Mr Robot are discussing Angela's death. One frame briefly flashes a picture the Dark Army sent Elliot, which depicts Angela's corpse with a gunshot wound to the head. Irving finally finishes his novel Beach Towel, and the back cover can been read in "410 Gone". The plot summary involves the protagonist being manipulated by a criminal mastermind but eventually turning the tables on them when they discover their true plan, and involves themes of "political corruption and income inequality" with "a twist ending you won't forget". Does This Remind You of Anything?

Mr. Robot / int_66907f54	comment	Hourglass Plot: One of the main parts about this show is how Elliot's path to self discovery and healing parallels with Angela's path to darkness, loss of humanity and self destruction. Especially since their goals were similar, but their motivation was different: Angela wanted power and revenge for her mother's death while Elliot at first wanted revenge for his father's death, but also wanted what's best for the people he serves. Elliot started off as a lonely broken person who was a morphine addict while Angela was a confident woman who had an amazing social life and a boyfriend (who turned out to be a cheater). But notice how their Character Development become polar opposites of each other, especially in Season 3. Elliot remained humble and kind throughout the series as he realised his mistakes and wanted to make things right and redeem himself. He even tried to protect his loved ones from any danger and wanted to improve his relationship with them. While Angela joined E Corp which caused her to slowly let greed and power get the better of her, which is later made worse when Whiterose brainwashes her and turns her into a cold power hungry sociopath who will hurt anyone who gets in her way of her goals, especially Elliot. The end result of all this is that Elliot retained his humanity, gained profit (which he and Darlene later gave back to the people) and victory from the Deus Group hack and even gained emotional support from Darlene, Mr. Robot, Krista, Leon as well and possibly Dom, despite dealing with the trauma of finding out about his dad's sexual abuse, while Angela lost her sanity, status, friends and eventually her life due to being to committed towards Whiterose's project and her declaration to take it down by herself.

Season two in particular primarily focuses on their dynamic as two personalities fighting endlessly and accomplishing nothing in the process. While they do put their differences aside to stay ahead of the authorities, this cease-fire doesn't last, and season three brings them back to square one as bitter enemies who fight over the execution of stage two. "shutdown-r" ultimately seals this conflict for good once Elliot and Mr. Robot finally understand the futility and pettiness of their war after getting a front row seat to the real danger of the Dark Army's power and subsequent wrath.

Mr. Robot / int_6b2b3b59	type	The Reveal
Mr. Robot / int_6b2b3b59	comment	The Reveal: Darlene is Elliot's sister. Mr. Robot is Elliot's father, Edward Alderson. Mr. Robot is Elliot's hallucination of his father, which acts as his split personality. White Rose is China's Minister of State Security. Leon is a member of the Dark Army. Elliot has been in prison for all of Season 2. Angela is working with Mr. Robot. Mr Robot isn't the only alternate personality inside Elliot's mind, with two based on his childhood self and his mother Magda along with an mysterious third male, who is revealed in the finale to be the Elliot we've been following throughout the series. Elliot was sexually abused by his father as a child. Mr. Robot is an idealized version of his father that Elliot created in order to protect himself from the abuse and pretend his father was a good person. As the series finale shows, the Elliot that the audience has been following since the start is another personality, created by the real Elliot to deal with the rage and anger that he had towards the world.

Mr. Robot / int_6bda9a30	comment	Meaningful Name: Alderson loop is a term for an infinite loop that would normally have an exit condition, but because of the current code implementation, such an exit is impossible. Elliot's current "code" prevents him from exiting the infinite loop that is Mr. Robot. It gains an additional meaning in season 4, when it's revealed that Elliot put his "real" personality in an infinite loop within his own mind. A ridiculously wealthy CEO named Phillip Price. The white-dressed Angela Moss, who ends up manipulating Elliot. Moss is also a flowerless green plant without any true roots. Vera believes in these. When he escapes prison, he tells Elliot he plans to live up to his name, which means "brave traveler." Gideon is the name of a minor but heroic biblical figure. Gideon Goddard is a minor character, but is one of the most moral and honest characters in the series. Tyrell is the name of the primary megacorp in Blade Runner, which produces replicants (androids) that are "more human than human."

He was abused physically, emotionally and mentally by multiple people, survived multiple near death experiences (getting brutally beaten up, getting shot in the stomach, being forced a heroin overdose, getting trapped in a nuclear meltdown), he loses his loved ones including Shayla and Angela, gets kidnapped multiple times, nearly gets raped in prison. And this is all the while he is dealing with multiple mental illnesses, most notably his DID and Depression. It isn't easy for Dom either. She survives two shootouts, her interrogation is stonewalled by her boss who is a Dark Army mole, she gets kidnapped and is forced into replacing him with the threat of hurting her family, and then gets captured with Darlene and during interrogation Janice punctures her lung.

Elliot then leaves as cops storm in, acting on the anonymous tip he made just shortly beforehand. Tyrell shows his true colors when he pays a bum to let him beat him up. E Corp CEO Phillip Price first shows the audience that he's not some ignorant goober when he fires Tyrell. He takes great relish in it and talks about how he'd been looking forward to seeing how he'd react. When we first meet Leon, he fearlessly squares off with another man at the basketball court, establishing that, Seinfeld obsession not withstanding, he's not someone to be messed with. This foreshadows him carving through Elliot's attackers and revealing that he's been protecting Elliot for the Dark Army this whole time. Irving is introduced complaining about the loyalty card policy at a restaurant, before casually taking a life-or-death call mid-conversation with little concern, establishing him as a Bunny-Ears Lawyer-type Fixer with a flippant attitude toward his violent line of work. Janice appears Affably Evil just like her predecesor Irving while talking to Dom outside her mother's house, before threatening to kill Dom's mother and throwing in a Country Matters as she does it, demonstrating that she is going to be a More Despicable Minion than the other Dark Army agents we've seen.

Mr. Robot / int_80a247a9	comment	Breather Episode: Each season has one, usually following intense, consecutive episodes. Season 1's "v1ew-s0urce", in which we see Fsociety having drifted apart following the Dark Army's abandonment, and a largely absent Elliot, still dealing with Shayla's death. Season 2's "succ3ss0r", despite being viscerally intense, is more of a breather episode for your mind, considering the jaw-dropping plot twist in the previous episode. Season 3's "dont-delete-me", which follows three back-to-back episodes of non-stop panic and turmoil, is entirely focused on Elliot as he tries to find the will to live in the wake of the Dark Army's terrorist attacks. Season 4's "410 Gone" is a Day in the Limelight episode for Dom following the successful hack of the Deus Group, which gradually reveals that the Dark Army is no longer after her. It comes after three extremely tense back-to-back episodes, which included The Reveal of Mr. Robot's origins, The Caper to hack the Deus Group that has been the focus of the season, and the deaths of Vera, Janice and Price.

Mr. Robot / int_82accf22	comment	Gainax Ending: The final few episodes become so bizarre, it's almost impossible to figure out what's going on. It starts off with Elliot entering an alternate world where there's another version of him whose better off in life, engaged to Angela, and has a successful career at Allsafe. Eventually, it's revealed that our protagonist is not the real Elliot Alderson, but an alternate personality who took control and never let go, and the Elliot who lives inside this delusional world is the real Elliot. Somehow, things only get more convoluted from there.

Mr. Robot / int_8430699a	comment	Alternate Universe: Whiterose waxes rhapsodic about a universe where 5/9 never happened. The FBI investigation into 5/9 is called "Operation Berenstain," possibly a nod to the most popular of the Mandela effect's examples. A worker at the Washington Township plant discusses the possibility of parallel universes during a tour of the plant's facility. Angela's mother alludes to this, speaking of "another world out there" where she and Angela can still be together. "eXit", "whoami", and "Hello Elliot" mostly take place in what appears to be the parallel universe that Whiterose sought after, with everything in Elliot's life being perfect. It's an illusion.

Elliot enters the show with a grandiose and immature vision of toppling the plutocratic elite and redistributing their wealth to the common people with fsociety. However, when he actually manages to cripple E Corp, the effect is to drive the world into an economic depression, which deeply hurts the common people, makes the city into a near-dystopia, and the elites not only survive, but use the crisis to gain greater power. Irving makes this explicit in season 4, stating that nothing is going to stop the powerful from staying in power, and that Elliot's revolution only happened in the first place because someone with power allowed it to happen.

It doesn't help that Continuity Lockout is also in full effect, meaning that by missing just parts of one episode, certain details later on will be lost on you, and those details by themselves usually end up being important to the plot in some capacity. All in all, good luck watching without taking notes or looking up at least one recap video to stay on top of everything.

Mr. Robot / int_8d630561	comment	Simultaneous Arcs: Season 4 does this a few times. 406 ends with Elliot being Kidnapped by Vera and Darlene and Done being held by Janice. The next episode 407 involves Elliot and Krista being held by Vera while 408 focusses on Dom and Damlene being held. Both the arcs have different formats, as 407 feels more like a stalker/stockholm syndrome thriller a la Berlin Syndrome and You (2018) while 408 is more similar to 310. Though we do see the aftermath of Elliot being held by Vera in 408 so they don't quite match up. However eXit plays this much straighter as it and the previous episode start in the same place, with Elliot and Darlene saying goodbye. 410 shows this scene from Domâ€™s point of view while eXit shows it from Eliot and Darleneâ€™s. From there the two episodes go in different directions with Darlene and Dom heading to Budapest in 410 and Elliot heading to Washington Township in eXit.

Who would have thought? This one point ultimately becomes the driving arc for the latter two seasons.

Elliot benefits a lot from the slovenly approach to password safety of the people around him, but to the non-tech savvy the passwords they choose might actually seem reasonably safe, such as his therapist using the name of her favorite artist combined with her birth year backwards (Dylan_2791). The most straightforwardly moronic password (Angela's boyfriend, with a password of 123456Seven) is used to emphasize that he is, indeed, kind of a moron.

Mr. Robot / int_a86069f	comment	Alternate History: The show exclusively takes place in 2015, in which the Five/Nine hack destroys the world's economic stability and sends it careening into an unprecedented global depression. During this time, the world seems five minutes away from becoming the typical Cyberpunk dystopia with disorder in the streets, political tensions between the United States, Iran, and China, and corporations capitalizing on the chaos. This all changes dramatically when Elliot's reversal of the Five/Nine hack ends up "resetting" the show more or less with everyone seemingly forgetting that the hack even happened and things proceeding as normal. Once fsociety expose the Deus Group, redistribute their money back to the people, and destroy Whiterose's project, the historical impact is not lost on the world by the year's end.

Mr. Robot / int_ac4ac8e5	comment	Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Season 1's episodes end with a different video file extension, and the file name portions of the titles make liberal use of Leet Lingo. For example, the pilot is titled "eps1.0_hellofriend.mov". The second season uses encryption file extensions, such as ".tc" for the now defunct Truecrypt, ".p12" for a PKCS12 file usually containing an RSA public key and an X.509 certificate, ".hc" for Truecrypt's successor Veracrypt, and so on, and the file name portions of the titles themselves continue the use of Leet Lingo. Season 3's episode titles drop the Leet Lingo and end in various semi-obscure file extensions ranging from ".h"note a header file necessary in programs written in C/C++ or ".ko"note a sort of file serving as an extension for the core functionality of a Linux-family operating system, to ".torrent" or ".gz"note a type of compressed file common in Unix-family operating systems. The final episode, "shutdown -r", bucks the trend by being a command. The first ten episodes of the fourth season are titled after 4xx error codes used on internet pages.

However, after he gives her money to buy new shoes and following her Out-of-Character Moment in the shoe store, she does return to Evil Corp in time for the press conference wearing black heels.

Elliot experiences one of Mr. Robot's takeovers as Mr. Robot's shirt and jacket replacing Elliot's hoodie. Mr. Robot's appearance reflects his legitimacy and how much control he has over Elliot. His strongest is when he sports his hat, scarf, and glasses, but when the two become disintegrated in season three, he loses hit hat, glasses, scarf, and slowly becomes more grungy. Elliot passes by a sign advertising Omni Consumer Industries. The name and logo are both references to Omni Consumer Products from RoboCop.

Following Edward's ignominious death from leukemia, Magda became physically, emotionally, and verbally abusive to both of them. However, the most damaging memory for Elliot was when Edward pushed him out of his bedroom window after he told the rest of the family about Edward's leukemia diagnosis. This incident ended up irreparably damaging their relationship. However, in a gut-wrenching twist, it is ultimately revealed that not only did Edward not push Elliot out of the window as he once believed, Edward was also sexually abusive towards him. This abuse in question was the true impetus for Mr. Robot's creation, with that day being the first time that he manifested to protect Elliot and by extension Darlene from Edward.

Mr. Robot / int_bd0230fb	comment	Ambiguously Bi: Despite being in heterosexual relationships, Angela and Shayla share a rather searing kiss. In a "blink and you'll miss it" moment, you can see that Elliot has written "Obama is really hot" in his journal as he flips through the pages. Strangely, this line is not found in the Red Wheelbarrow book. Tyrell has sex with another man with the sole intention of hacking his phone, and later professes his love to Elliot. Dom's physical sexual relationships are exclusively with women. However, in episode "404 Not Found," she engages in cybersex chatrooms with men. Darlene seems to be predominantly heterosexual, as demonstrated by her relationship with her boyfriend, Cisco. Some time after Cisco's death, Darlene seduces Dom in an attempt to obtain her FBI access card, and at one point says "I said I wasnâ€™t a lesbian, end quote. I never said I wasnâ€™t into girls." It's unclear if Darlene is at all sexually attracted to Dom or if she did it just for the access, although in "406 Not Acceptable," Darlene admits her feelings toward Dom were genuine.

Mr. Robot / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: In Season 1: Angela shows up with a DVD of Back to the Future Part II, which she says is Elliot's favorite movie. Whether this is true or not is unconfirmed. Elliot seems to have no interest in art or culture. In the eighth episode, we see a picture of Elliot and his father cosplaying as Marty McFly and Doc Brown, respectively. Shayla shouts "Keep the fish ya filthy animal" to Elliot minutes after she gives him Qwerty. One of the games found in the arcade is called Intergalactic Planetary. The ninth episode, in which Elliot learns that Mr. Robot was a hallucination of his dead father and he was responsible for all of his actions, ends with an instrumental version of "Where Is My Mind" by The Pixies. Mr. Robot asks Elliot if he wants to see Time Cop or Stargate, but Elliot chooses Pulp Fiction. When asked if he is okay, Eliot responds "I am pretty fucking far from okay," a memorable line from Pulp Fiction. The masks worn by Fsociety and its supporters are an obvious allusion to the Guy Fawkes masks worn by Anonymous, who themselves were inspired to wear them by V from V for Vendetta. The use of a talking fish in the withdrawal hallucination sequence, and the use of Time Zone's "World Destruction" during the season finale, both shout out to The Sopranos. In the final scene in the 1% gentlemen's club, while Price and White Rose discuss the hack, a harpist plays "Nearer My God to Thee," purportedly the last song played on the Titanic before it sunk. Appropriate. Angela loves the book From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. She later uses the pseudonym Claudia Kincaid, a character from the book. The book inspired her and Elliot to sneak into a museum together as kids, and season 4 contains scenes of them doing so. Elliot also gifts Angela a signed copy of the book in season 4. In Season 2: Elliot's Seinfeld-obsessed friend is named Leon. Dominique says that she's one of the few people who love Romy and Michele's High School Reunion. An FBI agent gives a shoutout to its own network's slogan, their "blue sky" ad campaign, and one of their biggest shows when he tells Darlene things aren't going to go like they do on TV: "There are no blue skies for you. This isn't Burn Notice. Characters like you aren't welcome here." An E-Corp employee in "init_5" has the password "holidayarmadillo". At the end of "pyth0n-part1", Tyrell makes a Humphrey Bogart impersonation : "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." There are a number of references to the William Carlos Williams poem "The Red Wheelbarrow." These continue into Season 3, most noticeably with the Red Wheelbarrow BBQ shop that is a Dark Army front. In Season 3: When they were kids, Elliot and Darlene once made a snowman that they named Kevin McCallister. Leon has moved his 1990s sitcom commentary to Frasier, which he doesn't like because he finds Frasier Crane to be unbelievable as a Kavorka Man. In Season 4: The expository montage that opens "Payment Required" is ironically set to part of the soundtrack of the montage-of-modernity film Koyaanisqatsi. In a nod to Christian Slater's role in Pump Up the Volume, Dominique chats with happyhardonhenry806 in a cyber sex chat room in "Not Found," Leon says that he needs to find a rest stop and "steal some mirrors." This is a reference to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions, in which the narrator ponders the slang phrase "take a leak" and invents the phrase "steal mirrors" to mean the same thing.

Combined with the arcade being stuck in a legal limbo of sorts after the odd number of tragedies that befell its previous owners and Romero siphoning electricity from the city's power grid, it made for an ideal safehouse. After Five/Nine, fsociety abandoned the arcade and went on to take over Susan Jacob's house as their new HQ.

Mr. Robot / int_d6b5863	comment	Driven to Madness: Mr. Robot attempts to do this with Elliot while in prison by actively tormenting him and mocking his confused exasperation at his blackouts. His efforts prove unsuccessful in the end once Elliot accepts that he is still very much himself regardless of Mr. Robot's influence. Scott Knowles gaslights Joanna by sending her miscellaneous gifts and calling her, trying to sell the impression that Tyrell is still alive and maintaining contact with her. Joanna ultimately realizes the truth and confronts him later on. Angela is made into what can only be described as a Manchurian candidate by Whiterose, who instills within her the (false) belief that her mother can be resurrected by the Washington Township project. Price has to snap Angela out of this fantasy by admitting his parentage of her and revealing that the project is a giant lie. Angela herself tried to do this with Elliot after being brainwashed by Whiterose. She exploited his mental illness and was working with Mr. Robot behind his back for Stage 2. And when he doesn't remember anything about it, she gaslights him so that he doesn't remember any part of it. When he finds out, she tries to weasel herself out of it and taunts Elliot for his DID.

The shootout at the hotel in China is also done in one take, starting with Dom descending a flight of stairs. "eps3.0_power-saver-mode.h" has a sequence that follows Elliot and Darlene through the CTF tournament. However, this is given the illusion of a single take, with cleverly hidden cuts. The entirety of "eps3.4_runtime-error.r00" takes place in real time, but, much like the above, is just post-production sleight-of-hand.

Mr. Robot / int_f5a3e496	comment	Suspiciously Similar Substitute: The mask worn by Mr. Robot in his public addresses as well as the logo of fsociety resembles a certain other anarchist anti-hero whose image has been taken by certain other anonymous computer hackers. Midland City is pretty much an amalgamation of darknet markets such as the Silk Road and Black Market Reloaded.

In the aftermath of all the pain, trauma, and loss he endured since fsociety began a year ago, Mastermind!Elliot learns his true identity: another of Elliot's personalities. Accepting his fight is finished, he gives control back to the real Elliot to awaken in a newly liberated world.

Notably averted on other occasions, such as early in the series when it's a major plot point that E Corp's backup data is safely tucked away in Steel Mountain, forcing F Society to rely on good old fashioned social engineering to deal with it.

The delirium combines with a fever dream to create a twisted, chaotic step into Elliot's mind. This is later played straight when he overdoses on Adderall, although it is fairly brief.

They are indifferent to the upheaval this would cause if they should actually succeed, which is something that Eliot is not comfortable with. Whiterose. She truly believes her machine will make the world a better place for everyone, and there's no line she or her henchmen won't cross to get it operational.

Mr. Robot / int_ff9e9dde	type	Once a Season
Mr. Robot / int_ff9e9dde	comment	Once a Season: So far each season has ended with a post-credits scene that begins on a lingering shot of a Cadillac, with the passenger always being a big reveal. Medication plays a significant role in Elliot's life each season. Season one followed his addiction to morphine, season two featured a brief experiment of overdosing on Adderall to stop Mr. Robot, and season three shows that Elliot is finally taking sertraline: a proper medication and anti-depressant that is prescribed by Krista. This last example is depicted as the most negative of the three; Elliot is at his worst, even after suffering agonizing withdrawals and intense hallucinations. Each season builds upon the relationship between Krista and Elliot, and dedicates a decent chunk of the plot to their continued development. Season one established Krista and Elliot's relationship while showing their revealing interactions as the two learn truths about themselves. Season two examined their relationship after much of Elliot's life and his consequences on Krista's life are laid bare. Season three revealed a major twist in their relationship, with Krista finally meeting Mr. Robot, who confesses his and Elliot's involvement in 5/9. Krista attempts to report Elliot but is denied based on hearsay and coincidence.

Mr. Robot / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
Mr. Robot / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: All over the place. The series is famous for this. The hacking piece of the story is incredibly well researched compared to virtually any other series. One of the first plot threads emphasizes that hacking is time and research intensive. The series prefers basic Unix terminals to flashy graphics. It features Kali Linux, and while obviously an in-story advertisement, it is a real operating system designed for IT security tests (hacking). In Season 2, Episode 7, it shows FBI agents walking around in a large room with a massive monitor suspended from the ceiling, inside Ecorp. To the casual observer, it might seem oddly artistic and clashes with the grittier feeling of the show, but its actually really accurate to what a high-end emergency management office would look like. Considering that season 2 is essentially a season long emergency response, it makes perfect sense the FBI would spend a lot of its time there.
