Very well put! As for Esmail's denial of a Sci-Fi twist, would you mind sharing with me the source? I'd love to check it out.

There’s only one season left to wrap it up so it would be hard pressed to get too non-linear at this point although there can always be some pulp fiction style out of sequence scenes that could mess us up. There were a lot of similar theories during S2 but S3 pretty much cemented things back into a linear timeline and Sam has straight up denied anything Sci/Fi like time travel although we learn at the end of S3 that White Rose is definitely trying to do so alternate universe stuff but Price says she’s a lunatic. Forgetting Darlene was a side effect of the compartmentalization of Eliot and Mr Robot’s overlapping territories.Īs for the loop theory, who knows. The reason he chose to forget is the same reason he created Mr Robot, to do the things he knew were necessary but his conscience wouldn’t let him do. He then hacks himself and says “I don’t exist.” Reddit searches are hard.Īfter he kisses Darlene he goes back to his apartment and asks how he could forget her and says “why do I avoid myself? Because I’m afraid.” He looks in the mirror and we see a montage of faces, his, the mask, mr robot (and very quickly Sam Esmail). Robot? When do you think this happened? Will it happen again? Or maybe you don't agree and think the Dark Army was behind it, or someone else.ĭiscuss :] Alternatively, please refer me to other posts/threads where this line of inquiry has been pursued. What are your theories on why Elliot chose to "delete" his father/Mr. It remains to be seen how tenable this interpretation ends up being, but it's interesting. I've been attracted to the idea of the show being a loop and the final season serving to complete that loop. Robot), and oblivious to the fact that Mr. Prior to the blank CD revelation, Elliot is both unaware of the appearance of his father (as indicated by his failure to recognize Mr. Robot as a concomitant), or vice versa(?). So assuming the truth of the seemingly simplest explanation, i.e., that Elliot created the CD, this would imply that he chose to forget his father Edward (and Mr. =] I'm new and haven't thought about the show nearly as much as many of you have.) It's not beyond the realm of possibility that someone else planted it to trigger false memories or something of that sort, but I'm not aware of any convincing argument to that effect. It seems to me that the reasonable assumption based on evidence presented in the show thus far is that Elliot created the blank CD, just as he presumably created all the others. There are plenty of mysteries one can fixate on when it comes to this show, but I've become especially drawn to the story behind the blank CD which leads Elliot to remember his father.
