Mr. Robot: Hello, Elliot: Series Finale Part Two

“Come on, this only works if you let go too.”

Mr. Robot: whoami: Series Finale Part One

“Okay, this guy is definitely not me. And I am definitely not him.”

For awhile, I could not decide whether or not to write my thoughts on the two-part series finale of Mr. Robot as one gargantuan review or as two separate reviews entirely. But upon going over them again, I came to the conclusion that each of the two parts are so different from one another that it was best to go the separate route.

Mr. Robot: eXit

“It’s an exciting time in the world.”

Final three episodes in the series. Let's do this.

Mr. Robot: 410 Gone

"We just Robin-Hooded those motherfuckers!"

So who’s up for a road trip?

Mr. Robot: 409 Conflict

"All this over a little pipsqueak in a hoodie."

The very, very long Christmas night comes to an end.

Mr. Robot: 408 Request Timeout

“This secret was never mine to keep. And you deserve better than to spend so long in darkness.”

You'd expect this one to be a breather after the bombs that got dropped previously, but it turned out to be quite the opposite.

Mr. Robot: 407 Proxy Authentication Required

Elliot: He just wants a show. Let’s give him a show.
Vera: That’s right. I’ll be sittin’ right here, eatin’ my popcorn.

For a show that specializes in crafting a unique hour of television every week, you’d think it wouldn’t still be able to wow me after four seasons. Well, I’ve just been wowed again.

Mr. Robot: 406 Not Acceptable

"There it is. That sense of dread. It only happens when you cross a line you didn't even know existed..."

Although every episode this season has felt as if it were building up to something greater, this one takes the cake.

Mr. Robot: 405 Method Not Allowed

“It’s time we talked.”

This show has always known how to incorporate these clever little gimmicks. This episode is no exception.

Mr. Robot: 404 Not Found

“Wherever we’re walking towards, it ends with death.”

I was not sure how I felt about this one for awhile.

Mr. Robot: 403 Forbidden

“… You should know by now, if someone is asking for your patience they are asking for your surrender.”

The folks at Mr. Robot certainly aren't holding back with the surprise twists and long-awaited revelations.

Mr. Robot: 402 Payment Required

“Something inside you is telling you to stop looking the other way. That can start here.”

This show is wasting no time in emphasizing that sense of finality. Which is not to say it hasn't got any more surprises up its sleeve, oh no.

Mr. Robot: 401 Unauthorized

“Goodbye, friend.”

Endings can be sad, but I’d be lying if I claimed to not be intrigued to see where this crazy story is going to go.

Mallena's Best of 2017

Since I only saw a few movies, this last year, I’ll do an all television review. Nowadays, there are so many great shows and so many great ways to watch them, that I don’t even have to leave the house. I don’t have to pay big bucks for a tub of popcorn and an over-sized drink, either. Anyway, let’s begin, shall we?

Mr. Robot: shutdown -r

"History is finally coming for you."

This season really just came and went, didn't it?

Mr. Robot: eps3.8_stage3.torrent

"I just hope it doesn't come back to haunt us."

Time to plan a counter-attack.

Mr. Robot: eps3.7_dont-delete-me.ko

"Shhh. The movie's about to start."

This, I feel, is a rare episode of Mr. Robot.

Mr. Robot: eps3.6_fredrick+tanya.chk

"Nothing creates profit quite like global conflict."

Needless to say, this isn't really a happy holidays kind of show. That works out for me, since my holidays aren't particularly happy right now.

Mr. Robot: eps3.5_kill-process.inc

"Kill-process: When an unwanted process is running and you need to terminate it. I need to kill Stage 2 before it kills anyone else."

We have another race against time. As if last episode wasn't intense enough. Stage 2 has begun.

Mr. Robot: eps3.4_runtime-error.r00

"THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!"

Best episode evah?

I think it just might be.
