MR. ROBOT REWATCH, 1x01: "eps1.0_hellofriend.mov"

-Elliot: "Hello friend." That line is so iconic and so it begins.

-"I did not hurt anyone." You're selling child pornography, dude. What do you mean you didn't hurt anyone?!

-Elliot, I don't he cares about your dad dying, unless you're not gonna turn him in.

-What an opening to the show and introduction to Elliot's character.

-Oh my God, I forgot how annoying Angela's boyfriend is.

-I love Elliot's monologue that he says in his therapist office.

-Bro, Elliot doesn't like you. Please go away.

-Tyrell! I forgot he was introduced in the first episode.

-That first interaction between Elliot and Tyrell is so weird. I can't remember if Tyrell is already working with Elliot.

-Shayla, my love!!

-First mention of fsociety.

-Gideon: "Did you know I'm gay?" Gideon, I don't know if this is the right time to just come out to your coworker.

-The first interaction between Elliot and Mr. Robot.

-Don't be mean to Shayla just because you forgot there was a possibility she would still be in your bed. Also, who cares if Angela sees?

-This interaction between Elliot and Darlene is so interesting when you already know they're brother and sister. Like how does Darlene not realize something is wrong with him?

-I love this scene between Rami and Christian on the farris wheel.

-I love how Colby kicking Angela out of the meeting made Elliot do what Mr. Robot asked him to do.

-I love that Elliot takes Flipper away from that dickhead.

-This shot of Elliot looking so happy in Times Square is so iconic.

-Elliot: "Please tell me you're seeing this too." Another iconic moment and I love that Rami Malek said that when he won his Emmy.

Rewatching this after finishing the series and this line is making me INSANE. Originally I interpreted this line as "Society is a prison and I am helping you break free by destroying an evil corporation" but now I wonder if it's "You're in prison because you've forgotten who you are (the mastermind) and your true purpose (saving the world) and I'm breaking you out by putting you back on your intended path" or perhaps the option that makes me the most feral, he's not actually talking to this Elliot. He's talking to the Elliot who is quite literally locked up inside their inner world. Mr. Robot is telling the original Elliot, "You're in prison, but if I can help this rogue alter complete his original mission, I will be able to free you."

Hello, friend. Hello, friend? That's lame. Maybe I should give you a name. But that's a slippery slope. You're only in my head. We have to remember that.
