    • Goofs
      Elliot exploits a vulnerability to get a copy of a server's password file and then runs a password cracker on it, but the password file he receives is shadowed (it does not include the encrypted password strings), so it is useless to a password cracker.
    • Quotes

      Elliot: How do we know if we're in control? That we're not just making the best of what comes at us, and that's it? Trying to constantly pick between two shitty options? Like your two paintings in the waiting room. Or... Coke and Pepsi? McDonald's or Burger King? Hyundai or Honda? Hmm. It's all part of the same blur, right? Just out of focus enough. It's the illusion of choice. Half of us can't even pick our own... our cable, gas, electric. The water we drink, our health insurance. Even if we did, would it matter? You know, if our only option is Blue Cross or Blue Shield, what the fuck is the difference? In fact, aren't they... aren't they the same? No, man... our choices are prepaid for us, long time ago.

    Will you fight?
    The second episode of "Mr. Robot" is not as amazing as the first, and the flaws are more clearly seen, but is an enough good episode. We repeat the same mistakes as in the first episode: way too "smart" people that seem to live above everyone else. Sadly, it all becomes a little bit repetitive, as the story barely advances. Mr. Robot does an "offer you can't refuse" to Elliot and that's basically everything that happens. The cliffhanger from the pilot is dealt in a very childish way (let's come here, Elliot, I'm going to talk to you in private and show you a whole new world...). That Elliot seems to be able to say "no" to all the offers he is getting is the best part of all.

    The other part of the episode, the "lonely vigilante", is quite lame. That Elliot is a great hacker seems obvious. But all the story and how is dealt with reeks of laziness. A "Sherlock hacker" deserves better.
