This was definitely one of the most hated episodes of all time. I can give you that this was definitely confusing on first watch, but when rewatching it, it makes so much more sense. And when you come to a conclusion to think about it, this shouldn't be last place in all of Mr. Robot. Anyways, my favorite characters in this episode we're Elliot, Mr. Robot, and Leslie. My favorite things about this episode were the Protagonist, the action, and the acting. I can admit that this episode definitely wasn't the best, but yeah, it was still very good. Definitely deserves its 8.1 star rating back to be honest.

This episode is 100% a masterpiece on rewatch, at least when it comes to Elliot. Tyrell and Angela's subplot is fairly dull like the rest of the early episodes, but Elliot's is a standout. The dream sequence is probably one of the best trippy sequences I've ever seen, with the best part being when the song "Queen" by perfume genuis comes in. Besides that, this episode has a phenomenal soundtrack. I don't understand the low rating though, I loved this episode even on my first watch, I understand that some people don't enjoy Anglea's and Tyrell's plot but my god Elliot carried this episode wonderfully.

When I first watched this episode, I was THIS close in dropping this show. I dont mind metaphors, imagery, all that figurative language we learned in Literature but this episode had too much. Yes, in retrospect, this episode makes sense. It makes sense when you're halfway into watching the 4 seasons, but as an early episode? It sucks. We dont know much about Elliot yet to care about him. What do I care about his house not knowing the significance of it? What do I care about his trauma when we dont know much about his history?

This episode, as-is, is OKAY. But placed in context relative to its placement on the season, it is bad. The illusions and dreams would have been better as a penultimate or a finale for Season 1. If you came here to see if you want to continue this show: continue. It is worth it, even with this tiny bump on the road.

A lot of People saying this episode is trash or skip this episode, but do not skip this one, because it is important, why it is you will understand later in the final season. For me this is one of my favourite episodes of Mr. Robot.

As some people said below, this episode is the foreshadowing of the finale..

Thanks Sam Esmail for perfection, and to Ramo Malek for increadible performance throught the series..
