#MrRobot, #ElliotAnderson, #Darlene, #HelloElliot, #HelloFriend,  “If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself”  –George Orwell,  1984 PART 1 “Wait, can you hear me again?” So begins the final two episodes of  Mr. Robot , as Elliot is once again talking to us, the viewer. He’s alive, and he’s amazed that he’s alive. He thought for sure he was going to die in the nuclear plant explosion. But something’s kept him alive. It’s Whiterose’s machine. It seems to have worked, and he’s back in Washington Township, but this time it’s a different Washington Township. He’s lying on the pavement in a parking lot where the nuclear plant should be. In this time and place though, there’s a community center in its place. Elliot can’t believe this is happening. He refuses to believe that Whiterose’s machine actually worked until he can find more proof. He leaves the parking lot as the show drops the needle on the song it  had  to eventu...

#MrRobot #SamEsmail #Elliot #FernandoVera #Krysta Jesus, Sam Esmail, save some for the series finale. There’s a telling moment early on in “Proxy Authentication Required,” when Fernando Vera explains to Elliot why he’s taken so long to confront him. After all, the meth-addicted con has been around for nearly two months—why wait until now to come see him? “This shit is bigger than  Frost/Nixon ,” Vera says with a totally earnest smirk. “I had to be ready.” The stage play metaphor is apt, for make no mistake, this is a play in five acts, a formalistic execution of the theater depicting four (technically five, but whatever) people on a stage, delivering dialogue and arranged in ways completely antithetical to everything that has come before on Mr.  Robot . It’s strange, it’s often absurd, it telegraphs its big reveal about a mile in advance, and it doesn’t care about being funny and fearsome at the same time. Those could sound like criticisms, but they’re not; this is on...

#MrRobot #AshlieAtkinson #DarkArmy #Janice (NEW YORK) — It may be the final season of USA Network hacker drama Mr. Robot, but the show still had time to introduce one last baddie. Ashlie Atkinson plays the show’s new favorite villain, Dark Army operative Janice – and she’s having a blast scaring the crap out of fans. “I just really loved the idea of someone who was an ‘order muppet,’ who is really into control and order but was a really joyous person — but a complete psychopath,” Atkinson tells ABC Audio. “I really liked that about her.” Atkinson, who was a huge fan of Mr. Robot before joining the show as a series regular, says she loves to see fans’ reactions to Janice online. Her favorite was the fan who dubbed Janice the scariest Mr. Robot villain after spotting her on another TV show. “Someone said, ‘Ashlie Atkinson was on Emergence and when I saw her face I straight up jumped out of my chair,’” she recalls with a laugh. “And I was like, ‘Oh good. People are afraid of me...

USA/Ringer illustration #MrRobot #Anonymous #RamiMalek #SamEsmail   After three seasons, Mr. Robot is getting ready to finish up. The show’s fourth season will be its last, according to a scoop from the Hollywood Reporter.  The fourth season will air next year and has been expanded to twelve episodes from the initially planned eight-episode run. Centering on an Anonymous-style hacktivist collective, Mr. Robot has expanded in recent seasons to explore an intricate Chinese crime syndicate and an alternate present in which much of the conventional banking infrastructure has collapsed. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Esmail framed the move as a creative decision arising from the writing process rather than business concerns. “Since day one, I’ve been building toward one conclusion — and in breaking the next season of Mr. Robot, I have decided that conclusion is finally here,” he said in a statement. “Everyone on the creative team, including the amazing people at U...
