This is definitely one of the most underrated episodes you will ever watch if you get to this. This shows alot of very important scenes and information that helps throughout the storyline if this show. My favorite characters in this episode were Mobley, Trenton, and Leon. My favorite things about this episode were the Antagonists, the action, and the ending. I personally believe this episode should be higher rated on this app, because this was incredibly and emotionally put together at the same exact time. This was another episode that showed how good Mr. Robot season 3 and 4, or the whole series in general, is.
Again, Sam Esmail brings us an amazing Mr.Robot episode. Was toned down a notch, not as good as the other two episodes, but still a 10/10 from me. The opening credits alone left me so hyped for the episode, and I was as hyped when it ended as I was when it started. The cinematography was, again, with no surprise, excellent. The soundtrack was beautiful and the climax of the episode was sad and depressing. It has come the time for me to say this show has surpassed Game of Thrones. In my opinion, it has more to offer as an experience and if you liked Breaking Bad, which I love, you're gonna love Mr.Robot. You can tell Sam Esmail got inspired by Breaking Bad when making this show, and even he said BrBa was his favorite show. Getting a bit off topic now, but overall, this episode has a lot to offer, and it's the perfect episode to follow up the two masterpieces that were episode 5 and 6.
Dark, intense and sad episode. We are seeing the consequences of first and second season. The photography of this episode is really great - no surprises here. A lot of theories (time travel, parallel universes) now bites the dust. All the characters are in a breakdown state. The show is being more realistic than ever.

This episode started with a bang and went on to be a mushroom cloud of all episodes before it. The intro, the awesome Knight Rider references and Joey Bada$$'s acting were next level. He is so good you can only do that if you mean it, Marlon Brando style! So much is going on in this episide, you need to rewind a few times to grasp the new realities. The acting, the story, the sidestories, the music, the filming (desert scenes especially), they were perfect and brough out the extremes/limits of the characters. It's hard to say 1 specific favorite episode of show if you like it, but this one was worthy of an award!
This is the first time since Game of Thrones' Red Wedding that something on a TV show has disturbed me so deeply. I genuinely do not feel okay after watching this episode. The reveal and denouement at the end of this episode is one of the most shocking things I have ever seen. Normally there's some joy in the reveal of a twist, but this... this is just brutal. It's going to take me a while to recover.
Mind you, when I mention how disturbing and intense it is, I'm mostly talking about the ending. The majority of the episode takes the pace down a notch, instead luxuriating in the atmosphere and catching up with the characters in the aftermath of last episode's big event. Angela is shell-shocked, Elliot is madly searching for answers, Dom realizes she's just a cog in the machine, and Phillip finds himself backed into a corner. On paper it's quite slow, but in execution it's mesmerizing and powerful.
But even as the episode takes the time to catch up with all the characters, it's already slowly building the tension and setting up the next phase of this story, which comes to a head at the end of this episode. I've already mentioned how surprising and disturbing it is, but it also didn't come out of nowhere; in retrospect there were a great many things setting it up earlier this season, lines from Whiterose that now have new significance. There's also a very real (almost too real) layer of social commentary to it, making the whole thing all the more visceral.
In summation, this is a stunning, brutal episode of Mr. Robot that will leave you drained, depressed, and even more amazed at the brilliance of this show.

- TriviaDeleted Scene: At 5:39 pm, Angela (Portia Doubleday) continues to sit in front of her TV and watch news coverage of the attacks. Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) knocks on the door, startling her and demanding to be let in. She does so hesitantly and he demands to know who changed the plan. She denies any knowledge, although he insists she and Tyrell (Martin Wallström) had something to do with it, despite Angela's insistence that she spent the weekend with Mr. Robot. The news anchor grabs his attention, telling of a supposed second attack coming in 24 hours. Mr. Robot wants to meet with Irving, demanding Angela's form of contact. She retrieves a phone he gave her, after asking him to not touch the TV. As Mr. Robot uses her laptop to trace Irving's location to the car dealership, Angela becomes transfixed by the news. She rewinds a moment when the anchor puts the recent death toll at 3,817, playing it again and again and repeating the number aloud. Mr. Robot finds it strange and leaves.
