Did you know
- TriviaTyrell (Martin Wallström) and Joanna (Stephanie Corneliussen) don't speak the same language: He speaks Swedish and she speaks Danish. The languages are both so similar that native speakers normally can carry on conversations the way Tyrell and Joanna do (The closed captions incorrectly identify both languages as Swedish).
- GoofsWhen Elliot is changing his drug screen report, Marijuana is misspelled as "Marrijuana".
- Quotes
Qwerty: Don't be shy now. You can come closer. Unsettling I know, your pet beta fish chatting you up. But time's money, Elliot.
Elliot: You need something? Your water, does it need changing?
Qwerty: When you live in a fishbowl, ain't no such thing as change. My entire life's been spent in this thing, my whole world's on your side table. I look around. Same shit, different day. The lighting, the furniture, even the sounds. Always the same. I'm on a loop. And it won't stop unless my life does. I'm exhausted with this world.
Elliot: What can I do? I wanna help.
Qwerty: I think it's pretty obvious. There's really only one thing you can do for a brother in a fish bowl.
Elliot: What is it?
Qwerty: Move him to a god damn window!

If that was the only problem I may have given it a nine, but sadly it was not. There was a really big event that was hinted at throughout the episode that ended up never happening. Instead it was replaced by the hallucination sequences, which kind of made me mad because I felt like the show accomplished nothing.
However, unlike the last episode, they actually did the character development thing right this time. I got a sense of who these people are without them beating me across the face with it. The consistent strong performances of the ensemble cast help with this, along with amazing direction. Mr. Robot has the best direction of a show since Fargo. Overall this episode is good, but I am looking forward to an increase in quality in the next couple ones.
I give Season One, Episode Four of Mr. Robot a seven out of ten.
