When I saw the preview for this episode and it showed Elliot shaking the camera and asking us if we were in on this the whole time, I knew we were in for some strange use of the narration style this episode, but I had no idea what was to come. To answer his question, no, I did NOT see this coming.

Elliot talking to the viewer is nothing new. What's new is him realizing that the viewer may know more than him, and even taking on the role of the viewer briefly. And it's true, we see other people's story lines, so we know more than Elliot. These strange meta moments end up tying in to the BIG twist at the end.

I have to admit for a while I thought the big twist was going to be the same one as Fight Club, and the episode seemed to be supporting that. Then, it veered off in a completely different direction, one I never expected, but in hindsight seems obvious. I did briefly consider the possibility in the second episode, but ultimately dismissed it.

In other news, this episode contained lots of progress in the hacking, something that's been desperately missing these last few episodes. We finally meet Whiterose, and that did not disappoint. Tyrell continues to fall apart.

I only wish we had gotten to see the fallout from last week's episode.

Wow... I am just done watching this eighth episode and I need a moment to catch my breath. There was so much to digest at the same time it got me dizzy... But this is the kind of dizzy you get from a roller coaster - If you like those - it makes you want some more.

This episode starts in giving the viewer so many questions and no answers at all. White Rose's shadow is quickly engulfing fsociety members and the menace is taken seriously. Something must be done, the original plan must go on, but something else is being played behind the curtains, by whom? For what purpose? - Oh nobody knows (Sang)

I felt that this episode was really the river of the game - Poker term - and everything is coming to an end. Those with the best cards are going all in and I cannot wait to see who gets the highest hand.

Mr. Robot's appearances make us remember why the show is named after his character as not only the actor's work is good but the character himself is simply captivating. He is officially shown as the Alpha and no one seems to be superior than him. Not even...

Elliot's appearances are as always remarkable and enjoyable. But in this game of wits, is he truly another player? Is he the dealer or is he simply a member of the audience? - Oh nobody knows - he still misses control over things but could it be about to change?

Angela surprised me on this one. We saw too much of her in the last episode and now just enough. But as always she only brought more confusion. Meanwhile, Tyrell just keeps drowning into his need for power...

Overall, this episode is the kind that makes no sense until it makes so much. The second half reveals so many secrets kept through the season - some more obvious than others - but those last five minutes just blow minds. Everything is chaos until it unravel to some of the greatest plot twists of the season.

I give it a 10/10 because not only was it on par with the pilot episode, it thrilled me from the beginning to the very last second with overall the most captivating scenes/episode so far this season.

Oh and I just loooove that White Rose character!

I've been a huge fan Rami Malek for awhile now, I didn't realise what he was capable of playing this character that has a lot of stuff on his mind, this episode is why Mr. Robot was a unforgettable television experience, everything about this show is perfect.

I love that shows are doing this now. Using the medium to push boundaries of storytelling and filmmaking in order to achieve something original and creative. The ending just changes our perceptions so much and that feels so good

While providing key and jaw-dropping plotpoints, this episode clearly displays Elliot's inner struggle and directly addresses the watcher (the imaginary person Elliot created inside his head) to show his instability. This episode is definitely the best of the first season and leaves the watcher with the most impact out of any other.

Hands down, Mr. MALEK is an Spectacular actor. Hes inner speechesh are well written and the way how he act when he realized the thrut : wow!

An outstanding episode. It is not technically or cinematographically as impressive as episodes from the following seasons, but storywise and in what regards the scenario and the excellence of the actors, it's magnificent. The episode is littered with surprises and questions and make the viewers reconsider their notions about the whole story and Elliot. Of course, Rami Malek is phenomenal, as usual. But Carly Chaikin, near the end of the episode, delivers a perfect performance for an outstanding scene, in my eyes very difficult to play. She's a brilliant actress.

Wow!! His will Always be one of my favorite episodes, Brilliantly Acted with master class directing and editing. Love the last few minutes especially how the music in the background builds up and matches PERFECTLY with the tension and atmosphere as it all unfolds right before the credits hit and the music intensifies 😭 an absolute masterpiece of an episode.

It really annoys me that every time Tyrells wife starts talking Danish, they write: "in swedish" in the subs. Its Danish.

Tyrrell is talking swedish. And no its definitely not the same at all.

This will definitely most likely be the best episode of the first season after rethinking. Alot of things happen in this episode. There were parts where it didn't make sense but did after the ending. I was smiling the whole time because I was glad I was right about my mom being shocked. She said in exact words, "shut the f### up!". Anyways, my favorite characters in this episode were Elliot, Darlene, and Tyrell. My favorite things about this episode were the protagonist, the plot twists (definitely), and the acting (also definitely). Overall, this was one of the best episodes I have ever watched on rewatch.
