Mr Robot Season 3 Episode 2 - Undo (MAJOR SPOILERS)



2 episodes in and so far this season looks promising. Another solid episode that was so well paced, filled with so many shocking and thrilling moments to take in. So much was packed into this 45 minute episode and already in the second episode of the season.

The opening montage of Elliot working at E-corp with "New Sensation" playing in the background was engagingly brilliant. I liked his opening monologue on how he was evolving and his plan was never about destroying E-corp, but making it better all along. It features a strong character development moment for Elliot, but also at the same time, brought back some of the season one elements by bringing down corrupt CEOs through hacking, which was good to see again.

Elliot's loneliness came back, something that hasn't been brought up since the pilot. He goes to Krista his therapist for help, making it Krista's first appearance in season 3. I like the story Elliot told Krista about the snowman, Kevin McAlister that him and Darlene built when they were kids, that happened the same day that Elliot's father pushed him out the window. What shocked me about this scene, is that in the pilot Elliot told Krista that his father pushed out the window, but Krista doesn't recall Elliot ever telling her that, making it possible that could've been in Elliot's head.

The scene when Elliot transitions into Mr. Robot to Krista was breathtaking. Christian's Slater acting was amazing throughout the whole scene. What makes it even better was Krista's reaction after Mr. Robot transitioned back into Elliot. From that, it's possible that Krista might be playing a bigger role this season, which I hope she does.

Another good character development moment in this episode was Darlene's decision in helping the FBI, by gaining Intel from Elliot (good to see DiPietro again) about Stage 2. It was also good to see the development between Elliot's and Darlene's relationship, by Elliot wanting Darlene to stay with him as he was lonely and reminising about Kevin McAllister, the snowman they built when they were kids, but sadly was ruined when Mr. Robot shows up and freaks out Darlene.

Joanna's death was probably the big shocker of the episode. I wasn't expecting Joanna to die so unexpectedly, being shot to death, in the car with her baby, especially with it happening so early in the season. I wonder what Tyrell's reaction to this will be when he finds out.

The confrontation scene between Philip and Whiterose was an intense battle, both actors did a great job, gave me a Littlefinger/Varys vibe. What surprised me was Whiterose's plan afterwards that they'll unleash Stage 2 on the day of the UN vote, meaning that Stage 2 has a completely different purpose then we thought.

The ending of the episode had me shocked when DiPietro received an email code from Elliot that turned out was for the FBI as well as Elliot (or Mr. Robot) showing up on Darlene's doorstep, leaving me in suspense and even more excited for next week.

8 Overlooked Cartoon Network Shows

Whenever we talk about Cartoon Network Shows, often that is mentioned are Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Regular Show or beloved Childhood Classics such as Ed, Edd N Eddy, Dexter's Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls, etc. Here is a list of underrated Cartoon Network Shows. Class of 3000 This show was great. I remember playing the Class of 3000 Funkbox game on the Cartoon Network website. This show ran from 2006 - 2008 but unfortunately it was cancelled due to a lawsuit filed by Timothy McGee on alleged copyright claims against Andre 3000. Well at least we have the Funkbox game, if that, still exist.   Mike, Lu and Og This show is so sadly forgotten. A lot people found this cartoon boring, but not me, I actually loved it! But of course, the last time I saw this show, I was six, yet I remember some episodes like the jujubombs, rollerskates and baseball. Tell me again why people thought this show was boring? Time Squad I'ts go time! I absolutely LOVED...

Mr. Robot Season 3 Episode 3 - Legacy (Spoilers)

Season 3 so far has been outstanding. With three episodes in, this Tyrell centric, all flashback episode that finally giving us answers to what happened on the night of the hack and what happened to Tyrell, as well as providing a backstory for the new character, Irving. Honestly this show really confuses the hell out of me sometimes, but that's what the show is supposed to do. Which is actually one of the reasons why I like this show. It's so different compared to other shows that I've watched. That being said, I was left pretty confused after the season one finale and wondered what happened on the Night of the hack and Tyrell. I assumed dead, until towards the end of the second season, but like Elliot, was wondering if he was real. I feel like I can understand Tyrell now, after going through such great character development. It reminded me a bit of Jaime Lannister's journey back to King's Landing with Brienne of Tarth. What I think is funny is that ...

Narcos Season 3 - Entertaining, Engaging and Addictive just as the first two seasons

Even without Wagner Moura's portrayal of Paolo Escobar, season three of Narcos is still just as entertaining, engaging and addictive as the first two seasons, that unfolds the Cali Cartel and The Godfathers' reign in Columbia during the 1990s. Season Three started off slow. The first three episodes were slow, but episode four was when the plot thickens. Gilberto's arrest, being a game changing moment for the Cali Cartel as Miguel Rodriguez and his Joffrey Baratheon/Ramsay Bolton like son, David started killing off men that failed them along with their families. This was the definitive moment for Jorge, to make the risky decision to secretly work with the DEA to save his family, keeping us on the edge of our seats. While the complexity of Pena is still being in play, as he often reminds everyone that he is no hero, referring back to what he did in last season, where he went to Los Pepes to aide them in capturing Escobar and the Median Cartel. This time, Pena is car...
