But, does this mean no more Mr. Robot (Christian Slater)?
I think he'll continue to play a role. I mean, Mr. Robot is not Elliot's father, but rather who Elliot idealizes as a version of his father that never existed. So ultimately Mr. Robot in his own way just didn't ant Elliot to know the truth because he knew it might break him. I'm sure Elliot is mad (and will be mad) at Mr. Robot for a while over all of this, but they are ultimately intertwined (and have been since he was a child) so the rest of the series won't play out IMHO without Mr. Robot as a part of it. They still 'need each other' for lack of a better phrase if they want to stop White Rose and the Dark Army.

Damn, I really miss watching Portia Doubleday.

She's not my main type but I think she's cute AF.

I just wanna pick her up and tell her it's all gonna be OK.

If this were a lesser show (or if Elliot knew more people, or Christian Slater wasn't a "draw" as an actor) it would actually make sense for Mr. Robot to take the form of somebody else in order for Elliot to cope - at least for the next few eps.

But this is Blessmail we're talking about.

Elliot's gonna have to literally stare his demons in the face for another half a season.












































Elliot ain't gonna make it outta the finale alive, is he? How can he. Something has to relieve him of this pain. He's lost too much, done too much, and in Angela, lost 1 of the only 2 people who matter to him.

He was on the subway platform with what looked like the kid version of Elliot in the promo for next week's episode.

It's possible that being one of the three, he stands in for Mr. Robot for the meantime - at least until we meet the potential third personality perhaps :leon:

I don't watch previews or trailers. I go in cold, but this would make sense.

Yeah, I stopped looking at previews and the previously on parts when I was watching Mad Men.

The previously on will throw a character in there that's been gone for 3 seasons and then you're like "Oh, I guess he's coming back :beli:"

And on Mad Men, the previews always framed shyt one way and it would be completely different during the episode.

No. Cause he never knew until right now. And his narration is done by his own brain. So it’s nonsense.

follow me. Elliott gets raped by his dad. He then creates a nice version of his rapist Dad, to help him get by the fact that his dad was raping him. He didn’t know his dad was raping him UNTIL LAST NIGHT. So everything he did, was him, and the reasons why he did it, was his reasons.

tonight he learns his dad raped him. That does not change the dad in his head. The dad in his head had been protecting him the whole time

so what changed? Now he knows the image is a fake? That doesn’t change past actions. YOU thought him up. Maybe it changes how you operate in the future. But again. Dad is dead..............



oh I see it now. He’s gonna realize White Rose is not the enemy. They will team up. White rose will show they are on the same side by drumming up that shyt about his dad and how he was a monster. It’s gonna go left. Watch.


He did know it was just repressed memories. Mr Robot knew and was protecting him.
