![]() ![]() The weird plot and frenetic pacing of the story is what drew me into the show, but it also does more to convey emotion with camera tricks and editing than any show I can remember since Breaking Bad. ![]() In the aftermath of the kiss and realization, the camera work on Elliot as he careened into madness was really incredible. It also explains why Darlene and Angela met to do ballet and were chatting like old pals about Elliot earlier in the episode, although, if we’re being honest here, the “Darlene is the type of person who does early morning ballet” thing might be as big a shocker as the sister thing, because I REALLY did not have Darlene pegged as an early rising ballerina. That way, when she said “I love you” and Elliot leaned in for a very non-sister-y kiss, her horrified reaction - especially because this appears to be, uh, not the first time Elliot has forgotten Darlene is his sister - served as a trap door we all fell down, into a room with the truth painted all over the walls. At the time, I filed all of this under “Huh, I guess Darlene is just a poorly adjusted brassy hacker who is developing an itty bitty crush on Elliot,” which appears to be exactly what they wanted us to think. ![]() She had always been very forward with him and all up in his business, to the point that she’s invited herself into his apartment and put herself at great personal risk to help him with his jailbreak. This actually makes so much sense in hindsight. Robot is, uh… something father-y!įirst, the Darlene thing. Short version: Darlene is Elliot’s sister and Mr. Robot now.Īll of which brings us to the last 10 minutes of this week’s episode, when things went from zero to NUTS on the show. I am, apparently, very passionate about Mr. Robot was imaginary that I released an audible, involuntary gasp when he bumped into a person at a bar. At one point, I was so convinced that Mr. Robot trying to Fight Club us?” Elliot was as unreliable a narrator as you could possibly have, and there were plenty of scenes early on where other people in the room seemed to stare straight through Christian Slater’s character, so leaping to the conclusion that it was all in Elliot’s paranoid, drug-addled brain - either as an alter-ego or a figment of his imagination - wouldn’t have been too out of line. One of most pressing questions over the first seven episodes had been what, exactly, the hell was up with the relationship between Elliot and Mr. Robot might be the best show on television right now. And yet, here we are in the middle of the season, and Mr. Robot.” It has no excuse to be this good. I mean, again, it is a USA original series about computer hackers that stars Christian Slater as a titular character named “Mr. I brought it up when I reviewed the pilot (and every time I’ve mentioned the show since, because I’m still not entirely over it), but the degree of difficulty on the show was basically incalculable. Robot has been a pleasant surprise this summer is kind of like saying the ocean is a little blue and wet. You can also twist cuffs, cockring-ballstretcher-combos and many other things out of these ties.Saying Mr. Of cause the bondage aspect is not limited to attaching subs to furniture. I especially like tying someone to shower rails (Please check if the rails can handle a wiggling sub without getting ripped out of the wall before you tie someone to them!) because if you tape off the gap between the padding and the hemispheres the ties are waterproof. I usually have a pair of these with me when I am on business trips because I can ties someone onto furniture in a hotel room without having to carry around large quantities of rope or leather restraints. It takes a bit of practice to find the right technique to make these twists soling and inescapable but it is worth the effort. ![]() You fold the rod in the middle and twist it around a rail (a bed post or shower handle for example), than you place the wrist of the sub onto the twisted part and twist the rod again two or three times tightly enough that the hand cannot slip through the loop. However once you mastered this toy it is a quite nifty bondage device. Ties twisted around furniture ready for attaching a sub. ![]()
