Featured review
I can feel the seconds ticking down, and I still have no idea where we're going
To be clear, this is just a review of part 1. I have not yet watched part 2, and I will be reviewing it separately. It's taking all the willpower I have not to play it right this second, but I have to finish my review of this episode first.
This is probably the most frustrating episode of Mr. Robot since season 2 episode 11... mostly in a good way. Similar to that episode, we get little plot progression, and what we do get is incredibly obtuse. Most of the episode is spent filling in the other side of the final sequence from 411; we see what our Elliot was up to in the time between our arrival in this parallel world (if that is what it is) and the meeting of the two. As such, there is a sense that we aren't getting anywhere; we've basically seen this already. Still, despite the inevitable sensation of treading water, we do get some nostalgic thrills similar to last episode. And once we finally catch up to where we left off last time, in the last 10 minutes or so, the episode becomes amazing and crazy and dark and mindblowing.
Ultimately, my opinion of this episode rests entirely on how the next one goes; Sam has more to answer for than ever, and only a short time in which to do it. I have utter faith in that man, but lord how he vexes me.
