Good for him indeed. The final episode of the season is so top-loaded with expectations at this point. Iām glad he got the credit before things could go off the rails completely.
Wednesdayās episode is going to be epic. Whether it is an epic success or failure is completely up in the air.
Right???
I havenāt finished the last 20 minutes of the next to last ep, and Iām not even sure I want to.
Frankly, Iām starting not to care.
This show got off to such an awesome start, but this current season has been disappointing to me, to say the least.
I just kept hanging in there, waiting for it to get betterā¦ which it did for a second, albeit marginally.
Now, Iām just kindaā¦ bored with it.
Youāre right; a lot is riding on that finale. but I just canāt bring myself to even get excited about it.
More anxious than excited myself. NSFW (Do we still do that around here?)
Yes.
I was anticipating the 2d season.
Watched the first episode sometime the week it airedā¦meh.
Watched the 2d and 3rd episode by the time the 6th episode was airing. Meh.
Heard a few things, so I soldiered through them. Got a little excited about it and now once again Iām at meh.
I think Iām through Ep11 so I guess I just ep 12? Maybe Thursday night Iāll get around to it.
Okay, thatās it.
#Fuck this show; Iām done.
At least Tyrell Wellick is a real boy. If they had pulled some sort of split personality crap there, I would have put my boot through the TV..
A real lackluster season.
This was not as hot a season as I had anticipated.
[Commences reading backlog.]
There is that, but I still donāt care.
All this drawing the exposition out needlessly and trying to throw in āclever twistsā at every turn has backfired as far as Iām concerned.
Itās not just Elliot thatās an āunreliable narratorā; Sam Esmail has become an unreliable director.
Not trying to keep you here. Iām still interested in seeing if season 3 goes somewhere. Not heavily invested though.
most of the ābig revealsā have been disappointing. Far too obvious. Some of the simmering sub-threads have held my interest.
Didnāt say or mean to imply that you were.
Iām just done; I have no problem whatsoever abandoning a show if it disappoints me too often.
I quit True Blood before it finally ended.
Ditto for Dexter.
And mostly recently, Teen Wolfā¦
You dodged a bullet with Dexter. What a stinker that turned into. 
Most television disappoints me. I am not a big time TV watcher. This show has captured my interest, despite the flaws. I prefaced my comment that way so it was obvious I am just talking about my own interest. Not trying to say āstick around and give it another chanceā.
Oh, I know.
I still read the recaps; and shit like what the writers pulled on that fandom is exactly why I have no problem bailing on a show.
Lucky for me, Iād found Breaking Bad by the time Dexter was in itās death throes, so I invested my energy into getting caught up in time for the finale of a show that was actually worth my time.
The writers of Dexter pretty much shat on their viewers, and I disavow any knowledge of anything after Season 5.
So I just finished season two, and although I can understand the disappointment some folks are feeling, Iām not sharing it.
The only reason Iām finding all the twists tiresome at all is knowing I have to wait a year to see where itās all leading, and then first I have to re-watch the whole thing to get back up to speed.
For mine, Esmail is pulling it off, and in fine style. Iām just not sure this show is suited to anything but binging the whole damn thing in one stretch.
The pacing (this season especially) doesnāt fit the weekly release schedule well.
For several scenes in āMr. Robotā Angela Moss reminisces likening herself and Elliot Alderson to Claudia and Jamie Kincaid, adventurous and precocious child characters in From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, a juvenile novel from E. L. Konigsburg.
This week I finished another Konigsburg juvenile novel, (George) in which a precocious twelve-year-old Benjamin Dickson Carr has an adult male personality/voice inside him, the title character. (George) becomes part of Benjamin when Benjaminās parents divorce. Not quite a dissociative disorder personality, as Benjamin doesnāt black out or have memory lapses while George āsteers the bodyā, itās more like Felix and Oscar from āThe Odd Coupleā quarreling in the body, and not always aloud, but in the mind. I did think of Christian Slaterās āMr. Robotā character, and wonder if the show has allusions to additional E.L. Konigsburg novels.
