Mr. Robot - Season 3 - Wednesdays on USA
- Thread starter RatskyWatsky
- Start date
That was Vera and his gang. He was a Season 1 villain who went on the run after Elliot busted him out of jail.

That felt so random but.... OK... I guess
Irving is amazing shame on you guys, shame on you.
FBI deliberately withheld information on his death (like w/ Joanna) because of the investigation. The event was random, but the cloud hanging in the air wasn't.
That was the point. The random nature of his death is what causes some of the characters to be delusional about its effects: Mobley thought it was Dark Army picking them off to cover their tracks, which prompted him to escape and compromise fsociety's effectiveness further (ironic considering his fate in season 3...). Darlene on the other hand, was delusional about how Romero's death didn't mean the FBI was onto them, meanwhile Romero's death was actually inconsequential in the grand scheme of things because the FBI knew exactly who were responsible anyway.
Think we'e going to have to wait a while for that to start happening, I think next series is going to continue to see more losses for Team Elliot.
I think something will happen - Darlene dying in an accident or something along those lines - that will force Elliot try and help see the project become reality. The project actually working as a finale is almost too good to pass up.
Fantastic season, one of the best this year. Cannavale was incredible as always, they actually explained quite a bit of plot this time and everything seems headed in a nice direction and on a satisfying conclusion. 5 seasons max is a lock now.
Also last two episodes of Oz, and season 2 of Master Of None.
S3 was the time machine. We even ended on the returning time traveling S1 character. Don't believe Whiterose's liesssss
lol no I don't want some symbolic BS!
I'm not going to lie, I thought season 3 was good but I also find myself less interested in wanting another season than I did before. I was really hyped for season 2 and 3 to come but now I'm not all that hyped for season 4. This show has been pretty good at subverting expectations so I'm still somewhat excited, but I feel like we know exactly how the rest of the show will go, whereas if the time machine was real....it could be insane.
Also, you can have a grounded tv show that includes a time machine. It's like the movie primer. That was done in a very grounded way and it was one of the best sci fi movies ever.
Irving is the standout of S3. I love his 'Uh-huh' whenever something goes catastrophically wrong. Big shout out to Dom as well for a great character arc.
The greatest asset for Mr Robot is having believable characters, despite unbelievable things happening.
I need to re-watch S3 now, but I'm not sure if the edge of my seat can take any more abuse. Incredible season of tension.

Damn, this show continues to absolutely blow me away. Darlene has always been one of my favorite characters and I've stuck with her for awhile now but damn she did Dom wrong. Irving was great, and the Elliot / Mr. Robot tug of war never gets old for me.
I finally caught up with this. What a fantastic season. I was not too fond of S2 but this one easily made the show into one of my recent favorites. Every episode was so much fun, but No. 5 was just in a league of it's own. Bravo Sam Esmail, Bravo!

I wouldn't be so sure. I think White Rose really is into some weird stuff.
What an amazing amazing season. So happy this is back to being S1 tier. just constantly gripping and it finally made the titular struggle with the main character fascinating. The Mr. Robot stuff this season was great. loved it all.
I thought at first that the man speaking to Darlene was Cisco but that isn't him. I can't tell if the characters are supposed to be known or not. Like are they a complete mystery or did I miss some detail of who they might be and who they are affiliated with?
Also not sure what White Rose's assistant said to Elliot before he died.
Spoiler for who the guy is:
It's Vera, the drugdealer from season one who killed Shayla and got busted out of prison by Elliot who hacked the prison network. Vera disappeared after that, and wasn't seen or heard from again up until that point. It's unknown why he's back or what he wants from Elliot.
I'm pretty sure Christian Slater has been nominated, not sure about anything else though.
Whoa! Awesome. Thank you! That is definitely an interesting development. I forgot all about those events.
Thank you so much! I've been trying to look around and find what he said but have been having a difficult time tracking it down. I wonder why it was omitted from the subtitles but either way I'm really happy to stop wondering and know what was said.
Finally caught up and finished season 3 last night. Good God.
This show is something else, and builds tension unlike anything I've ever seen. The moments in this show where it's just playing the repeating beat for an extended period of time in the background as shit is going down just puts me in an anxious state where I almost keep inching closer to the TV waiting for it to pop off. Just incredible.

god damn I want to watch primer again.
I watch it confused every time, despite knowing what happens.

I'm thinking that time travel is just a huge red herring and misdirection. It's a bit too goofy, even for this show. We are basically shown time and time again that there's gonna be time travel, so I'm thinking there won't be any.
It could easily be some kind of Matrix set up. Mr. Alderson and some of the specifics of how working in a cubicle is portrayed evoked some soft feelings of the Matrix.
Just saw the last episode. It's not as flashy as the first season, but it's still one of the best television, I've seen to date.

Super late to the party on this one, life kind of got in the way of me being able to digest this show every week. Thankfully I was able to pick up from where I left off and go from start to finish on Season 3 and goodness, what a good season this was. There is nothing out there quite like this show. Bring on Season 4 Sam, can't wait to see what other tricks you got under your sleeve!
Finally got around to seeing it, great season. I'd say it's on par or maybe even a little better than the first. I will say that the ending isn't as great as season 1 and 2's, though. The hook wasn't as inciting.
Also, Vera...I dunno. I'll have to be reminded of his character since it's been a really long time since I saw season 1 but it sorta feels like he might be really small fries for season 4. I mean, shit, we're dealing with the biggest terrorist attack and mothafuckin' alternate reality machines.
Also, did they ever explain why they completely changed the cinematography for episode 8? Was it to just tie it into the movie subplot of that episode? It looked so good that I was actually bummed when it went back to normal.

I just watched that episode and now only have two episodes left. Episode 8, with the kid and the movies/mosque, was probably the best one so far this season.
I'm going to try to finish it tonight. So far this season has been good. Definitely a big upgrade from last season, but not as good as the first, which was great.

It was awesome. And they capped it with a great use of "In Time" with Angela/Elliot. Made me tear up.
I was already a big fan of the show but the "In Time" scene solidified it as one of my favorite shows. I can't wait for season 4.
