[Mr. Robot] S2E12 "eps2.9_pyth0n-pt2.p7z" - Post-Episode Discussion

"There was no action in this entire season" "We're getting blue balled every week" "The show's gone downhill" "Season 2 was pointless" Bitch I'm sorry but shut the fuck up. Sure, the finale was underwhelming, but are you seriously saying the entire season sucked just because of it? Did an underwhelming finale make you forget about how the show ingeniously used Ray's plot line to subtly develop Elliot's relationship with Mr. Robot? How it introduced Don as a forgettable antagonist character and turned her into probably one of the most fleshed out, if not the most fleshed out, character in the show? Speaking of characters being fleshed out, throughout season 2 we see Darlene go from background-character-turned-love-interest-turned-plot-twist-device to a compelling, sympathetic, and sometimes downright scary deuteragonist. Am I the only one who remembers watching Angela become a full-fledged antagonist, only to be pulled into Fsociety and not being able to keep my eyes off the screen as we saw her life spiral even further out of control? The disbelief when we realized that Reddit was actually right for once, and that Elliot was in a hospital, you don't recall any of that? Was I the only one who had their heart pounding as they watched Mobley pacing around his apartment while the FBI waited outside? Was it just me that had an almost cartoon-like grin on their face during the mind-boggling 90s sitcom sequence? For the love of god, people, was nobody else thinking about that AMAZING long-shot of the outside of the restaurant used when DarkArmy came to kill Cisco? This season was so crazy and suspenseful that people were legitimately theorizing that phase 2 was time travel. This season had Joey fucking Bada$$ playing a Seinfeld-obsessed bodyguard/hitman for cyber-terrorists. Our main character just got SHOT IN THE DICK, but you're angry because a plot point that literally got introduced half an hour into the finale wasn't resolved in the next 20 minutes? It's like you don't even watch the show. You need action every single minute of every single episode and a plot line that doesn't need any thinking? Stick to the last 10 minutes of Suits. The rest of us will sit back and enjoy seeing wherever Sam Esmail plans on taking us when season 3 arrives.
