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!

Time Squad I'ts go time! I absolutely LOVED

Mr. Robot Season 3 Episode 1 - Power Save Mode (Spoilers)

Mr. Robot Season 3 starts off a solid premier, by moving at a faster pace, delivering a thrillingly strong straight forward story, ending it with a shocking twist, making the rest of the season look very promising. The season starts off with a strange mysterious charcter, who is possibly an FBI diplomat (Bobby Canavale) ordering a milkshake. He then gets a call, hearing that Elliot was shocked. I really like the addition of Bobby Canavale in the new cast, as he portrays the mysterious character really well. Elliot wakes up in Angela's apartment six days after a gun shot wound, from Tyrell Wellick. Elliot realises that Mr. Robot is gone, so he decides to end Stage 2 by shutting down the backdoor, with the help of his sister Darlene. Elliot succeeds in this but is approach by this mysterious new character, a possible FBI diplomat  who tells them that Stage 2 is off. Of course Elliot and Darlene don't believe this. Wanting to fix what he did wrong, Elliot decides to work
