    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Mr. Robot


    GalvatronType_R — 9 years ago(September 15, 2016 09:53 PM)

    It was completely unnecessary and overindulgent and it functioned solely to show Esmail's love of old school electronic gaming. I get that Whiterose is eccentric but I doubt that he would go to all that trouble and set up that entire situation just to meet a small fry pawn like Angela.
    As much as I still love Mr. Robot, Esmail had better be careful. Scenes like this and and that hallucinatory 1980s sitcom opening which was clever but dragged too long may be getting into jump the shark territory.

      This guy has just got way too full of himself. At this rate, the first episode of season 3 he'll probably rip off Memento. The season finale the episode will be played backwards.

        Oh please, The Leftovers makes much less sense. Mr Robot is very well written, and recycles films to create space for throwing up theories. Season 1 made sense mostly after every piece got to it's place, this'll make much more sense in a week, than now.

          Now that you mention it, leftovers is a much better show than mr. Robot.

            The leftovers craps all over this show. Season 2 of the leftovers is one of the best seasons in television in the last 5 years.

              Uh never mentioned or even seen The Leftovers guy so not sure why you brought it up. And one show not making sense doesn't detract from this show not making sense. If you call Mr. Robot 'well written' then that says it all. Its become overindulgent with paper thin characters.

                  It was not self-indulgent or trigger warning pretentious. It was magnificent! Mysterious! Philosophycal! Intriguing! It was Lynchian! Kubrickian! True Detective Season 2ian! You're like too dumb to get it, you know?

                    True Detective season 2 was so bad, they changed writers. Season 3 will be written by someone else. So, don't use TD2 as an example.

                        If you were being sarcastic, then we agree. But, try not to act like such a douche. Are you in the entertainment industry? Acting like that gets you nowhere fast.

                              It was Lynchian, it was even Kafka-esque. The very thing you find pretentious, I guess. Some people do enjoy Kafka, very much including Sam Esmail, I'm sure.

                                Jump the Shark? Just because of a scene involved Commodore 64 you have to be stupid to think because of that it jumped the shark.
                                Trolls need to stop using words like "Pretentious" or "Jump the Shark" because you sound like a moron because of using words without any sense what they mean.

                                  Then you totally missed the reason he needed to meet her, why he didn't kill her months ago, why he gave her this out. Not that Whiterose doesn't have yet further plans for Angela
