I only remember one episode in season one where they didnât sensor. (I think it was the first one.) I donât remember if they bleeped them out or just silenced them last year. The bleeping was really heavy in the âsitcomâ episode, but that was obviously intentional. Not sure if itâs more swearing this season, or a thematic bit.

Being on the phone with someone with a heavy accent is sheer hell. $5 to the first service that provides live CC phone transcriptions.

Letâs just assume that in the 80âs $2 was as $5 is nowâŚ

Do you also use body language to infer meaning, or are you good on that front?
I believe a âlikeâ is approximately 2 80s-Dollars, consider yourself paid in full.

It was once, perhaps⌠but due to their current abundancy there is a corresponding deflation in their value, thus the relative value of a single âlikeâ has crashedâŚ

I donât read people well. Sometimes, but not consistently, and definitely not people I donât know well.

It was weird looking at Madame Executioner Susan Jacobsâ inbox and seeing the same word of the day as was in one of my tweets six days before the episode.

Sadly my ISP (which is also a cable provider) wonât let me stream it until tomorrow, so thank you for using spoiler tags.
You didnât actually miss too much, again.
This show is kinda starting to irk meâŚ

Itâs starting to irk others as well. This got massively negative feedback from a lot of the âhackerâ / âsecurityâ folks that have been following the show:
I know thatâs probably not what you were referring to, as youâve stated whatâs important to you in a show in other threads. Still, itâs a bit depressing.

I thought that there was narrative traction tonight. Is there some specific thing that you want to happen?
We didnât even see our âunreliable narratorâ at all in this episode, and he was only verbally referenced once. Thatâs some problematic storytelling IMO, because once again, the audience is âleft hangingâ with very little in the way of any actual payoff for all the âunexpected twists.â
I donât have an issue with sliding door narratives, as long as thereâs some kind of balance between multiple plot arcs, and they eventually coalesce back into the same tapestry of a story.
Thatâs not what it feels like thatâs happening with Mr Robot.
The pacing is abysmal, and the arcs donât feel at all cohesive, despite occupying the same exact literary space;
Kinda like trying to listen to two very different songs by the same singer simultaneously.

HP (both halves) is just a freaking hot mess right now.
Every commercial I sew of theirs makes me want to cringe.

Okay. Maybe not all. I still agree with the review that stated the unreliable narrator device works better in formats like movies where thereâs a definite end point and you can go ruminate afterwards, and falls flat in a series where you need trust to be drawn back in repeatedly. The last episode really punched a lot of the right buttons for me though.
Side note: @falcor voluntary ban for 90 days please. I have a BBS problem, apparently.

Angela is totes an allusion to an evil Neo from the Matrix. After the conversation she has with White rose she is directly pointed out as being the special one, she can make things happen by wanting it, and has motivation fueled by revenge and not altruism. She is the most interesting character in the show.

At a certain point I started to wonder whether Elliot and Darlene might be the same person.
You canât rely on anything with this show.
This episode really strained my suspension of disbelief.
The Voigt-Kampf test was cute. I got the reference but didnât really see the point.
I hope things return to the high standard weâve come to expect next week.

So, Rami Malek won an Emmy last night for his portrayal of Elliot.
Not that I watch award shows, but good for him.
