USA: Mr. Robot
Premiered on Wednesday. Apparently the pilot's been online for a month, has all kind of critical acclaim, to the point that they gave it a second season before the pilot even aired. All I can say is go watch it if you haven't. It's pretty badass.
Full ep at the link or on demand http://www.usanetwork.com/mrrobot/vi...hellofriendmov |

The thing that really makes me think that is his appearance at Allsafe. No way some random stranger gets in there to sit at Elliots desk.

Ep 1.0 Slater knocks on the door to the secret meeting place and the guy only looks at Elliot when he opens the door. No other scene (that I recall) would naturally lead to Slater talking to anyone. Ep 1.1 Slater verbally interacts with the crazy girl but he steps in front of Elliot to do it and she never changes her focus from Elliot's face, Slater then announces to no one in particular that he's going to go sit in the back. These have the same feel as the transitions in Fight Club. And I like the idea that the rest of the club are Elliot's other personalities. Very nice. |

How does the drug dealer girl react when they find Marlene randomly in Elliott's apartment? If i remember right, I was expecting more of a holy shit response.

Slater is totally a voice in his head. No doubt in my mind.

I think she said something like "Nice.....I'll leave you to it" or something, like she's real. But I may not recall right.

I thought Wellick was a dissociative personality with the off the handle beating up a transient guy, and how he singled out Elliot. Then came the all-homo butt sex, and after that I knew he was a different character and not a personality of Elliot's.

I'm calling it now, Christian Slater is the mental manifestation of Elliot's Father.
"You betrayed his trust" then pushes him off the bridge like his Father pushing him out the window. ( Then he apologized, and said his Dad probably didn't mean it either) Then there's " I'll never leave you" comment in the motel when Elliot was going through withdrawals. Elliot has always said the only person he could talk to was his Father. Last edited by Tribal Warfare; 07-16-2015 at 05:03 AM.. |

He also interacts with other members of the crew and then they are seen out on their own doing things by themselves. EDIT: I take back the drug house thing because now that I think about it that shit never happened. He wakes up and was never shot. Last edited by jd1020; 07-16-2015 at 12:25 PM.. |

Been a long time since I watched Fight Club but I don't remember Durden carrying on a conversation with anyone but Norton. He made speeches but there wasn't return dialog, not that I recall at least.
