Mr. Robot: Hello, Elliot (2019)
Phenomenal Season. With slightly LOST vibes at the end.
What a great second series finale to this show with 4.09 being the first. But I slightly got LOST vibes again. (Lost spoilers ahead)
Ending his character arc that way felt epic. So the whole show, we see mastermind interacting with mr. robot, while real elliot has to lay low in his dreamland loop. To give us that puzzle peace at the end feels right.. but was that really what season 4 was leading up to?
If you break it down through the seasons, all the hacking stuff arround evil corp and the dark army was building up white roses township plant machine. I was kinda hoping we would never see this machine in action. I didn't want time travel or dimensional travel in this show. I always thought white rose was building a new kind of gigantic atomic clock. Since his obsession with time. It would be kinda dumb but plausible. :D
Now we get to the LOST part.
Imagine you stand in front of a child, hiding something in your left hand. You build up a big mystery arround it and right before you seemingly will reveal the inside of it, you open up the right one with some choclate and the child goes "wooow". Forgetting everything about the left hand.
This is how the show LOST made me feed. "Heeeyy, we changed the past so the plane never crashes and guess what, we show this all in the last season with FLASHSIDEWAYS." And in the very last episode its revealed that it were never flashsideways, but a glimpse in the afterlife. I felt cheated.
Mr. Robot took a similar route. "Heeeyyy, this is my big machine. Do you want to travel in parallel dimensions? Stick arround." OMG! Parallel Dimensions! "But do I have parallel dimensions in my left hand? I don't know.. but I have the third personality in the right."
I get that in order to make the third personality (the real elliot, which technically was the fifth) reveal more interesting, you can make it look like white roses machine actually worked. But some may feel a bit cheated.
Including my fifth personality. ;p
But other than that. Season 4 was a phenomenal blast. And I guess I will restart this series soon.
