*4 episodes left
|
where tffff does it go from here with that much time left?? I guess it's gonna be all about Elliot's internal struggle from here on out + surviving White Rose's wrath (assuming she survived the...scuffle at the end).
Honestly, it felt all too neat and easy but I think it was supposed to if that's not gonna be the actual climax. If it was, I'd be p disappointed. Either way I think it's p silly that they'd literally have ALL their money in one bank (plus I guess I don't know quite enough about banks but I kiiinda feel like pulling billions of dollars out of an account would take more than a two-factor authentication)
Super intrigued about the hints dropped about the 3rd personality, I think it IS just gonna be 'evil Elliot' after all
|
I read someone suggest that what Elliot is hiding was sabotaging Washington Township (in some way) in order to kill his dad, which of course kills a bunch of other people collaterally. He's stricken with guilt over this and buries that part of his personality/sets up eCorp as his father's killer for something to chase. Kinda MEMENTO-ish in a way
And on top of that, IF White Rose's machine is actually real (which I'm leaning towards yes with every passing week), I think Elliot's gonna end up wanting to use it after all when he finds out the truth about himself |
I'm so convinced about the first part of that especially, I'd almost be disappointed if it's anything else but we'll SEE. Only thing is idk how that'd contribute to rewatchability since I doubt there's particular scenes you could point to if that's the personality |

Damnnnnn that was good. Def one of my favorites this season
DOWN GOES PRICE :( . He's been doomed all season but you could feel it come right away in this episode. Kinda wish they subverted expectations there but it played out how it probably should've. So glad he got to gloat and watch Whiterose fall. The upside down shot of him dead and basically smiling was great
I agree that it could've been more intense/involved to take down Whiterose. I would've liked to see more of a her vs. Elliot battle of the wits with Whiterose slipping and Elliot getting the edge. But I still liked what we got, the group being exposed and trapped was fun. I loved the music throughout all of that. The hacking scenes still prove to be very cinematic
Kinda think that's it for Whiterose tbh. That's a Night King exit if so. Who's our DANY?! I thiiiink I know!
Four episodes left is crazy especially if this is the end of Whiterose. I'd like to see Whiterose get out of this but I kinda doubt it. What a great character

That was different!
I thought FOR SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE that plane was gonna blow up. And that the whole romantic ending was gonna end up being super tragic as Darlene dodges a bullet and Dom walks right into it. Would've been a huge jolt to these last few eps if it was revealed the Dark Army was still pissed and still after them. That would've been crazy
Esmail still put a classic Robot twist on it by having them miss each other but still, I thought there'd be more there
Irving's appearance was great and unexpected but I would've liked him to show up in like any other capacity, not just some weird coincidence (assuming it really was a coincidence?)
LEON's appearance was even better tho. He's the best. I hope he's helping out Elliot more in these last episodes
Also I kinda wish Dom just died the other week tbh. I guess it is nice that they aren't just snip snipping all these characters after their big episode (Tyrell/Vera/Price) and had her survive but idk. I'm just surprised they used one of the last eps on Dom and Darlene's relationship, who rly cared |

hey the error code this week was "Gone". Wonder how that tied in!
Yeah that was...definitely not what I expected. I didn't hate it but I feel like this would've worked better as a B-plot while Elliot continues the main plot? Felt like way too big of a detour with so little time left
It was well done though. As someone who still thinks Dom definitely should've died (not just cuz her character arc was basically at an end, but the internal logic they set up with the whole "15 minutes to live" thing got completely thrown out the window with her surviving), I feel like this QUELLED that enough for me. If I took this episode out of the context of the season I did like it and felt for them
Leon AND Irving showing up made me so happy. I'm not sure what to think about Irving, I'm not totally convinced he wasn't lying to get Dom on the plane. It COULD still go down next week. It just seems like way too big of a coincidence for him to happen to show up there. With Leon escorting them there and making clear that he's just in it for the money, I think he could've been playing both sides and leaked to Irving that they'd be there |

loved seeing Leon and Irving. By far my 2 favorite characters. Nit a big fan of this episode. Seemed like filler and maybe it’s a quiet before the storm type of episode. It seems to be Dons farewell as she’s off to Budapest as Darlene stayed behind.
Also! This episode reminded me of the stranger things episode when eleven met her sister. Just a waste and could have done without. |

are you kidding that was nuts
|
only weak point for me was the sequence with the text adventure game and the plant melting down, that fell a BIT on the silly side
White Rose/Elliot meeting before that was amazing though and definitely my fav scene, maybe of the whole season. DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!
Still not totally convinced the alternate universe stuff is legit even though I FULLY support it if that's the case. I think it's equally likely that this is in Elliot's head and this is how he finds his third personality. Although I'm not rly sure how that'd help him stop the Township meltdown if that's the case. IDK!!! |

damnnnn, good ep. INTERESTING ep! I'm really not sure what to make of this right now but I'm fully along for the ride
Elliot and Whiterose meeting scene was the best, I agree. Some series best acting from Malek and Wong | |

Side note while I still process
M83's Outro (one of my fav songs) over the clear 2001 influenced projector sequence was so cool to watch because I once edited that song over the actual 2001 sequence. That's all |
