Mr. Robot, Season 1

Bitch, I figured Mr. Robot was Elliot's dad almost from jump. Okay, not from jump. Like I was really believing the whole Elliot's dad died of cancer thing and Elliot misses him and has a ton of daddy issues and all this blah. But something was making me suspect occasionally that ~Mr. Robot~ was his dad? Maybe it was because prior to watching, I found out there was some "twist". So I went into this show like, prepared to figure out the "twist". So I'm on high alert and trying not to take everything at face, and it's like, yeah, sure, Christian Slater is Rami's dad. But like why did I just jump to that? Was it specific--yeah, like the way Mr. Robot acted towards Elliot was very fatherly-esque. I think especially when Elliot was trying to save Shayla and working to hack Fernando out of jail and Mr. Robo was trying to stop him. I thought that was like...weirdly...him caring too much about Elliot or something? And it just made me squint my eyes at him. But the more I was suspecting Mr. Robo was Elliot's dad...like the more I kept going back to that time he pushed Elliot off that railing at the boardwalk. I mean, it's not like a father couldn't do that to their kid...but...like, Elliot ended up in the hospital? So I'm thinking it was just way too extreme for a father to do that to his son and the "twist" was something else. I also suspected Mr. Robo was maybe the leader of those dark army people? And then also I was thinking Mr. Robo was working for Evil Corp?? And then I started thinking he was all these things lol. I was really going through it ngl. 

So, fucking finally! When Elliot was going through his photo album, I was like yaaaaaas. Wait, lol, first can we talk about how the pics in the beginning at first made it look like Mr. Robo could possibly be Elliot's gay lover? I feel like the show did this on purpose? lol like what were those pictures of Mr. Robo just alone, sensually lying back on a chaise lounge? Am I remembering wrong? lol I distinctly remember like a photo of him in like a mint green t-shirt smiling like whoever was taking the photo was the love of his life? Maybe Elliot took the pic? Maybe Elliot is the love of his life?????? Yo, lowkey, I totally support a father/son love story like this. Not, like, a creepy incesty one, but Mr. Robot and Elliot being the loves of each other's lives. In a non creepy incesty way, okay?? 

Wait, bitch, but let's talk about how Mr. Robot being Elliot's dad wasn't even like the biggest ~reveal~, but that Elliot's crazy ass is even crazier than we thought. Or, at least than what I thought. Bitch, you know I hate an ~amnesia~ storyline. Like no other. But I guess I'm fine with it here, in the context that Elliot is a legit lunatic with possibly a thousand different diagnoses. When he tried to kiss Darlene and she acted overly disgusted, like so disgusted you would have to kill yourself after such a reaction lol, I was like OH BOY, BITCH!! I was actually annoyed--lol like I really hate an ~I forgot who I am Memento 50 First Dates~~~~**~ type of storyline, omg I really fucking do!! And then the last two episodes Elliot is going around trying to figure out who he is and trying to fucking summon his ghost dad. I was here for it, but at the same time, not. What I wanted, when I was suspecting Mr. Robot was Elliot's dad, was that I wanted him to reveal he faked his death so he could start fsociety. And he like got facial surgery or something lol so that's why Elliot doesn't recognize him. No, that's even dumber than what they actually laid down for me. No, actually, it was a pretty good reveal eventho I guessed part of it. I wasn't here for the ghost dad thing, tho. It's like overly sad for no reason. And then Elliot trying to summon his daddy demon back...I want to cry and die. 

Hmmm, I still don't know how I feel about the reveal and the series finale. I was both over and underwhelmed. It got me excited for season two, though. Like, first, is Mr. Robot/Christian Slater sticking around? I guess? He'll appear as sporadically as he did for season 1? Okay, I can see this, maybe. Also, if Elliot forgets who he is all the time, will it happen again for season 2...will he forget Mr. Robot is his dad/a ghost? Okay and like where is my booboo Tyrell? Look, I prob shouldn't love the shit out of Tyrell Wellick, but bitch I do! He is so creepy and unnerving and adorable pleeeease!! His wife, too. I hope Tyrell is not dead, but if he is, if Elliot's crazy ass murked that Swedish negrum, maybe that means his wife will glo up in that missing character spot? I'd be here for that, she's a total Lady Macbeth. Wait, but can we talk about how when Tyrell was choking that bitch up on the roof and FKA twigs' "Two Weeks" started playing? Bitch, why was I cheering? That blonde freak better not be dead I was rooting for his messy ass :(

So, excited about finding out what the fuck happened with Tyrell, nootttttt as excited to watch Angela cross over to the evil side and become a part of the cog. Or was she always? But it's crazy that she listened to that dude who was all, you can change things from the inside~~ Like, girl. And then after that dude killed himself on-air, in front of her??? And she continued to not go anywhere?? AND THEN when she was buying new shoes and that shoe salesmen was comin' for that ass and she stood up like "I DON'T KNOW WHOM YOU ARE SPEAKING TO BUT I'LL LOOK AT THE PRADAS NEXT". Biiiitch. On the one hand, yes, like...who did that shoe guy think he was lol. Like, is this the way to sell shoes? Is this what they taught your ass in training? Probably not! But Angela's attitude...omg I can just see her becoming some important horrible figure at Evil Corp in no time, oh boy. It's lit but it's not, you know? 

Waitwait...can we. Wait. If Mr. Robot is a ghost...how were we seeing scenes with just him and Tyrell, or him and Romero? I think the show almost explained that with Elliot at the internet café, but it didn't fully explain, because obviously I am sitting here like did this show really throw in these scenes to make us think otherwise purely for the purpose of maintaining their "secret" even though it doesn't add up with the reality of the universe created in the show? I'm just going to decide that it was actually Elliot talking to Romero at his greenhouse and Tyrell in the--BUT I FEEL LIKE WHEN TYRELL CAME TO VISIT ELLIOT AT THE END HE ACTED LIKE THEY HADN'T HAD PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS ABOUT ELLIOT'S ~SECRET~. Like when Tyrell was in the truck talking to "Mr. Robot" he was all ~i know ur secret i know what you're doing~~~ and then when he came to Elliot's apartment wearing his hobo-beating gloves, why was he saying the same shit? Does he say this every time he sees Elliot? Well, he's a weirdo, so.......

In conclusion, I lowkey ship Elliot and his shrink so that better happen in season two if you're not going to fully explain those scenes where Mr. Robot was talking to anyone besides Elliot, sweetie:)))
