I now realise .doc stood for documentary.

u/Eapie_314 avatar

Damn, I didn't even pick up on that. Nice observation to all who noticed.

isn't .doc an extension from Microsoft Office Word?

u/Eapie_314 avatar

it is, but in the case of the dec0d3d.doc it's probably short for documentary.

u/Tenacious_Dan avatar

no its probably not. the titles of all the episodes end with a random file type extension like .mkv or .mp3 or .mov

.doc is the extension for old versions of ms word.

Calling for a Bill Harper spin-off.

Anyone else find it annoying as fuck that they constantly said "Coming up next ___, ___, ___, and ___" and "now that we've told you ____, we're going to tell you ___ and ___." I feel like these phrases made up half the fucking show. Stop telling me what you're going to tell me and just spit it out FFS.

Yeah I found the documentary had a lot of fluff. Pretty mediocre overall.

It's the american format.

Commercials.

u/pandaSmore avatar

Absolutely

any links? didn't know about this.

u/skyarm avatar

I feel like the only thing I got out of the documentary is that "This is Mr. Robot... Decoded!"

Geez you guys have soooo many ads in the US, so happy I don't have to deal with all that.

They are really hyping up this preview of season 2, even the short few seconds of new footage they are showing us is really awesome.

Snowden? That was different footage right?

u/kip_chelly avatar

yeah that was footage from citizen four

u/Louisfallieres avatar

DAMN i was over here thinking that they found him for an interview

u/Unknown_sniffer avatar

John Oliver found Snowden. I mean he does AMA's all the time. I got alerts setup for when he does do AMA's and he answers a lot of posts with good to know shit.

u/whitey_sorkin avatar

He did a god damn TED talk, not exactly hard to book.

u/WeTheBold avatar

Could anyone make out who the woman was when they were watching Obama on Tv and Elliot enters the room

[deleted]
[deleted]

Is that his mom?

u/WeTheBold avatar

that's actually what I thought too, but I wasn't sure. She was wearing like the purple/blue-ish thing that we see her always wearing too

u/thootly avatar

That would make sense since Elliot is staying in his mother's house at the start of S2.

More replies

That looks very much like his mom, and I think it's been confirmed that he flees to her house for the start of the season. The only question now is whether or not she's really there.

u/WeTheBold avatar

Where has it been confirmed?

u/everydaycopy avatar

Is that the same woman that was in a towel?

If the narrator didnt say "mr. Robot" at the start and sometimes the end of each sentence i think that would help.

u/c-a-thulhu avatar

Wow I didn't even know this was today. I was watching RAW and then this just went on

u/hachi-seb avatar

Anywhere to watch it online? I'm from Argentina, no american broadcaster likes us here.

6 years later, you probably don't know another way to watch that, right? I just finished 2×07 and found out that this existed

More replies

You could use vpn and watch it online.

you can watch in on USANetwork.com, if you have an account through them. May not help much, considering you're in Argentina.

The narrator is mediocre, but it's good so far.

u/nighkey99 avatar

I've been reading over a lot of people's theories about who/what/where/when, and I have two observations that I'm hoping to hear thoughts on.

The theological innuendo between Price and Whiterose in the after credit of episode 10. The harp and absolute calm of the place while the rest of the "world" is in chaos. Price and Whiterose are the "invisible people" running the "world".... Price ($, root of all evil) and Whitrose (pure) and how it's all in the "timing"; her faraday room which is completely untouchable.....

And on a related note, Angela is repeatedly presented with a "choice". The wallet that was dropped (and she chose to had it to the theif and not the lady - which struck me as odd but in after thought "the pathway to hell is paved with good intentions"); the disk Ollie had - which she stole and uploaded to AllSafe; when she goes for a run at her father's house, she literally stops at a fork in the road; she chose to go to work for EVIL Corp... And that last conversation she has with Price (who for some strange reason is smitten with Angela), the look on her face as she realizes that Price is actually a horrible man but she can't leave... I do believe Angela is being set up to play the true antagonist, and not Elliot.

Also, did anyone else notice that Elliot tells Joanna his name is Ollie when she asks who he is in episode 10? Why would he say that? Why? That was a pretty weirdo thing to say, even for Elliot...

I had no idea where to put this so I replied here. K

Also, did anyone else notice that Elliot tells Joanna his name is Ollie when she asks who he is in episode 10? Why would he say that? Why?

Elliot's excuse is that he "works with" Tyrell, and -- considering the partnership between E-Corp and AllSafe -- technically he wasn't lying. Ollie is another employee at AllSafe, and Elliot probably gave that name because he thought Joanna might know, or have the means to find out, the exact employee roster at AllSafe and catch him if he invented a completely fake name/person.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Is this season 2 ep1, or is at episode in between? Also how long will the episode be?

Sounds like more of a discussion of the show and behind the scenes stuff.

u/FCDallasBurn avatar

Neither just a discussion, recap, preview

Season 2 Episode 00 recaps the first season, teases you and gets you hype for Season 2 Episode 1

Looks like more of a recap of season 1. Hopefully we'll get more than just a two minute teaser for the season.

So, it's worth seeing?

If you're really into the show and want to get more hyped for season two, yes.

Did it show a lot of behind the scene stuff?

u/skyarm avatar

Nah, not that much. They were just interviewing some tech consultants on the show.

Ah thanks. That might be interesting.

I noticed that they are blaming Tyrell for the hack. They show his mug on a wanted poster and Obama mentions him and fsociety are responsible.

Yeah. I want to know what keeps him (if anything) from ratting on Elliot, should he get caught. And how this blew up in his face. Not where I expected the show to go, so soon!

Season 2.0 is going to be the Empire Stikes Back of Mr. Robot.

u/imthejuan avatar

Any thoughts or predictions for the upcoming season after watching this?

u/Unknown_sniffer avatar

hello friends

u/flip3fence avatar

From what I can tell, thats definitely Elliotts mom when he walks in to Obama's press conference on the TV in that one scene.

So therefore, I think Elliot goes to live with his mom for a little. She realizes that he is truly insane, and that she sends people from a psych ward to come get him

What was it? Was it part of season or sometnig? Was it full episode?

u/jpthehp avatar

Well shit, I had no idea, I came here since there were so many ads on Raw. For those that don't watch wrestling, the show almost always goes over time so don't expect an on time start

Overall thoughts and takeaways from this? Anything new that you learned, whether about the show or its applications to the real world? It was a lot to take in for me and I need to hear other people's idea on this.

u/WeTheBold avatar

I thought that too. I'm guessing she'll turn even more insane this season.

just watched....so pumped for season 2

Am paranoid, d3c0d3d

Edited

There were no S02 peeks, so a bit of a waste of time. And if those crackers said anything remotely interesting(pun intended), odds are they'd be put in prison. So not very interesting.

"unpredictable plotlines" I disagree.

Don't get me wrong, I fucking love this show. Very well written, directed and shot. But def not inpredictable thus far imo. I called all the major plotlines. Many after only watching the first or first few episodes. It still fucking rocks. Don't get me wrong here, predictable doesn't mean = shit.

The only plot twist I did not expect was Darlene being Elliot's sister.

Yeah, if you can say you called that then you're just BSing yourself and everyone
