I think they messed up a bit by having Price say that White Rose invented the Internet (assuming that we believe him).
The internet is probably the greatest technological change since the atomic bomb. Yet, they're saying that White Rose created the internet as just one step leading up to the creation of his machine. So, whatever his machine turns out to be will probably be anticlimactic (e.g. there is no machine at all, its all lies) or unbelievable Sci Fi superscience (Time Travel, Parallel Universes, etc.) It's the kind of problem that 24 always had. How can the end of a season top what has already happened, if nuclear bombs already went off half way through the day?

I actually suspect its some kind of super AI capable of running The Matrix, and either the world we're seeing on the show is a simulation, or they will imply that the show's world is the *real* world, and OUR world is the Matrix that White Rose created.

If they're going that way, I'm not so sure how I feel about that. :ld:

You don't think Time Travel or a Matriz type world is a technological step up from the internet?

No, what I'm saying is that the only way to step up from the Internet might be to step up so high you're in Sci Fi fantasy territory. The show might go from "Techno Thriller", past "Hard Sci Fi", and straight into Comic Book science if they start getting into time travel or parallel worlds.

It's hard to imagine a show changing so radically, so I'm thinking the machine is either a total red herring, or it relates to AI/Transhumanism/Virtual worlds.

great first couple of episodes

the 3rd personality seems triggered by thoughts about his mom

I'm also thinking that whatever White Rose did that killed Mr Robot also (intentionally or unintentionally) put this stuff into Elliot's head. Some kind of electromagnetic signal.

I think the mask theory is on point, but I would've preferred it being sam esmail or someone else under the mask rather than just elliot wearing it

The name of the group pulling the strings is called Deus Group.

whiterose told us he hacks time.

Deus Ex Machina, the latin term is “God out of the machine”.
In its most literal interpretation, this is when a godlike figure or power, with all the convenient power that comes with that, arrives to solve the problem.

“Back to the Future” references with Elliot and his pops, and Elliot with Trenton’s kid brother.

whiterose telling Angela that she is going to bring back her deceased mom one day.

Conclusion: The device is a time machine. :sas1::sas2:
It makes more sense for it being a time machine than anything else.

Brehs just dont want it to veer into the sci-fi territory but it's been slowly prepping us for the big reveal the whole time.

The third is not Tyrell, leon, or Angela as these are actual fukking people who get acknowledged multiple times in the show. Can we please stop asking that.

Saw a theory that elliot's dad was actually a pedo who abused Darlene. There are many references to the book lolita in the show that reference this. Darlene's screen name is Dolores haze, who was the abused girl in the book.


This would be a very shocking turn of events. Maybe it's his dad or hell, possibly his mom that abused darlene

I can see the mom being the abuser not the dad
