"Mr. Robot" Season 4 Official Thread

[CookDat]

Elliot's been going to war with the most powerful people in history to avenge a man that doesn't deserve it

You really hate to see it.

[StatUS]

I dunno. I don’t like this twist

I was hoping for a 3rd personality reveal and instead Mr. Robot is a pedophile

Though, this really does change things quite a bit. I’m very curious to see what happens next

 

[Auger]

Oh my God, I think that was the best episode if television I've ever seen.

We don't deserve Blessmail, we don't...

Infinite loop - Wikipedia

Alderson loop is a rare slang or jargon term for an infinite loop where there is an exit condition available, but inaccessible in the current implementation of the code, typically due to programmer's error. These are most common and visible while debugging user interface code.

A C-like pseudocode example of an Alderson loop, where the program is supposed to sum numbers given by the user until zero is given, but where the programmer has used the wrong operator:

sum = 0;
while (true) {
printf("Input a number to add to the sum or 0 to quit");
i = getUserInput();
if (i * 0) { // if i times 0 is true, add i to the sum
sum += i; // sum never change because (i * 0) is 0 for any i; it would change if we had != in the condition instead of *
}
if (sum > 100) {
break; // terminate the loop; exit condition exists but is never reached because sum is never added to
}
}

The term allegedly received its name from a programmer who had coded a modal dialog box in Microsoft Access without either an OK or Cancel button, thereby disabling the entire program whenever the box came up.[3]

Yo when Elliot told Angela

he was quoting Marcellus Wallace.... the same line Marcellus said after he got molested by Zed and friends

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

Mother was abusive, Daddy was a molester no wonder Young Darlene wasn't trippin' when she got kidnapped.... it was better than being at home

Darlene may not have been kidnapped. It may have been CPS

I'm not sure why people think this rules out a 3rd personality. Who you think told krista in the first place? The 3rd is probably some fukked up incel version of Elliott that took his sexual abuse out on the world. There is a difference in the elliot that planned the attacks and the one that wanted to reverse it. The 3rd could be the guy that was exposing pedophiles while this current elliot is the one groomed by mr. Robot. All the bad shyt the 3rd does is hidden by Mr. Robot.

Elliot and Vera this whole episode

 

[Oville]

Yo this reddit post from two years ago was dead-on and may contain more information that might reveal itself.

 

[TheNatureBoy]

I just finished watching this episode, left me with a combination of and .

I did not see that twist coming at all, until Krista started down her line of questioning . I remember the window incident being a big mystery point in the earlier seasons, but when Darlene told Elliot he jumped I assumed it was him dealing with mental issues from her a young age. To think Elliot's dad would have been the root cause of that, along with drug dealer Vera being the one to ultimately pull the truth out.

I definitely see why this episode was commercial free and I hope Emmy voters remember how special this show is come nomination time.

I really don't know what type of head space Elliot will be in for the remainder of the season.

 

[The War Report]

This explains everything. Darlene and Elliot had some really shytty parents.
