Re: TV: Mr. Robot (USA)
Yeah, I know. I was just being a brat. Similar characters don't really bother me so much. There isn't much in the way of an original character any more anyway. And if we didn't have things like archetypes, theater would have died with the Greeks.spike wrote:i just mean that i feel like we've seen these characters before. that being said, i have confidence in this show to pull it all off.durdencommatyler wrote:How many movies/tv shows have pit Tyler Durden against Patrick Bateman?spike wrote:amazingly derivativedurdencommatyler wrote:That... that sounds AMAZING.spike wrote:caught up on this show last night, and i agree that the latest ep was the weakest. little worried i'm watching tyler durden vs. patrick bateman.

Also, I don't think our lead is all that much like Tyler Durden. I mean, kinda. I can see why someone would make that connection. But it feels.... thin. But I haven't seen this most recent episode.

Re: TV: Mr. Robot (USA)
There were scenes in episode two or three where I said to Mrs Rangi - 'Oh, so that guy's pretty much Patrick Bateman', and then that scene where Elliot's in his boss' office looking like he's just been beaten up that whole thing looked and sounded like it could have just been lifted from Fight Club

That pilot was definitely the best episode so far, unfortunately. I'm still watching this though.

I'm just a few eps in, but noticed that the bartender didn't seem to notice Christian Slater at all during the apple-tini scene. Ugh.

Re: TV: Mr. Robot (USA)
I don't think this is the case. But I do think that the Slater character isn't the true "Mr. Robot", but rather a messenger/communicator for whoever/whatever is. This show is still really good. This and Humans have been a nice treat this summer. Glad to see both coming back for season 2.15showsandcounting wrote:Is this the case? If so, I'm out.
