Well its ok for maybe 5 minutes but not over 15 thats the prob here. The laughter after things that were not funny was horror. And THAT differs from sitcom to sitcom but here it was only bad ^^. The look on Elliots face nonstop was also shit.
And during these 16 min after the "intro" I thought to myself: damn this really could be Mr. Robot. I would never ever watch this shit. Thank god it was only a dream a hallucination for Elliot and myself. At least I hope it was.

Can't hide those kinds of twists from the internet hive-minds nowadays.
But it was definitely not as obvious as the Tyler Durden one last season.

I didn't read any discussions of it online, and I wasn't actively looking for anything while watching the show itself (which is pretty rare for me, when it comes to "twisty" types of shows and movies), so it managed to sneak up on me.
I have to find a way to keep my mind distracted when watching TV in the future, since it allows me to appreciate stuff like that a little more  |
Haha! Same for me, sometimes I'm thankful that my detective skills are sleeping like a panda, and unless there's something obviously derp/inconsistent, I just like to go with the flow, embraced by the unfolding events. One could say it's naive, but surprises like this one get immensely better  |

I agree it wasn't as obvious as the Tyler Durden last season, but still was pretty obvious...
 Spoiler: |
The small dark bedroom, the basketball courtyard, the dull cafeteria, the ganged up skinheads hanging around the nearly all black courtyard, Darlene, Angela and Gideon all going to visit Eliott at the same table.
|
It was just too much
But still I'm glad they got the cheap gimmick out of the way earlier this time, so they can keep focusing on the good stuff 
BTW, I was assuming all along that Ray and Co. were...
| Spoiler: |
Guards in the prison, seeing as they had easy access to computers, isolated rooms, etc.
|
I wonder if they will show anything of that, though I would prefer that they be done with the twist thing for the rest of the season.

Ep5 (yeah I'm a few episodes behind): So that's two good episodes in a row, but it continues to be very disjointed. Great performance by Wong.

Ep6: The show is absolutely all over the place (and I'm not talking about the first 15 minutes of this episode) but all recent episodes are good regardless.

Ep7: ditto. Wow did the Ray thing go absolutely nowhere.
As for the twist that was as predictable as that of the first season's so I ain't mad about that.

Not nowhere;
It was just a side story of him wanting a way out and a plot device to get Elliot to embrace 'him'

And that's without mentioning that it was thanks to Ray that Elliot got access to a computer with internet.

I am glad they got the twist out of the way already, I feared they would leave it for the finale as the "big" twist of the season.
The twists being a bit predictable actually has a positive meaning for the show.
It means that it's structured and written well enough for people to pick up these things, ie. the twists are obviously planned and built up way in advance with everything happening in a realistic way leading up to them.
I like this alot more than the last second twists pulled out of the ass like in recent GOT seasons, where events are warped in unrealistic ways and characters make totally uncharacteristic decisions, just so we can have that sudden and forced twist.

Gave it a rest. Binged the last 3 eps, and its still a drift.
Someone tell me if Tyrell´s wife gets properly banged.

Imagine how'd you'd feel if it weren't predictable.
If they didn't follow the routine. If they didn't have the imagery.
It was obvious from e01. It just wasn't obvious which it was.
I like the reveal. It worked for me. A lot of people I talked to never really saw it, until they started looking at it. That's how we were here too.

I thought it was some crazy bullshit routine I never saw it as a prison. Good reveal but on the other hand not that important ^^

Ep8: Same high quality but disjointed storytelling.
edit: I mean, no, this time the episode itself wasn't disjointed, but no Elliot at all for a whole episode? That makes the whole season seem disjointed.

We still don't know what exactly happened at the end of S01, and what happened to Tyrell, I guess there is a big twist coming at the end of current season.

Ya, but it sucks that Tyrell will be at most in the 4 remaining episodes (and likely even less than that, eg in the final two) of this season.
Also the subplot concerning his wife has been going on nowhere so far. I'm sure it will eventually tie in with the rest of the subplots but again.. only in the final episodes.

Damn, whenever something finally clears up, we get obliterated by more industrial amounts of dafuq-ness. I'm just enjoying the ride at the moment, without asking any questions, but hoping that we get something similar to a convergence of all the subplots that re...*knock knock*
