This episode follows our Elliot's POV leading up to the shocking reveal at the end of 4x11. I loved the slow buildup leading to Elliot facing Felliot. I am absolutely shocked at Elliot apparently being a made up superhero by Felliot & then Elliot killing him at the end. Still so many questions left to be answered in the final episode, but WOW what a penultimate episode!!! Also, the end credits being a red screen was a great touch!

Do I sense a little bit of COHERENCE here?

Still the conversation part is totally mind blowing. This episode actually has slowed down the pace. After watching this first part of the finale, I still have absolutely no idea where it's going, but THAT'S the greatest part of this series am I right?
Don't judge me...

Best tv series ever
shanleahy23 December 2019
Put simply, this is tv that surpasses everything before it. From the first scene of series one, episide one, to the penultimate episode in the final series, this excels at every level. The writing, the acting, the cinematography, the music, the colour, the editing, the costumes, the characters -- the mise en scene -- it blows everything else out of the fu**ing water. Sam Esmail is a genius. A totally unstable genius. Brilliant!!!
How can you give to this episode lower than 10 ?

I can feel the seconds ticking down, and I still have no idea where we're going

To be clear, this is just a review of part 1. I have not yet watched part 2, and I will be reviewing it separately. It's taking all the willpower I have not to play it right this second, but I have to finish my review of this episode first.
This is probably the most frustrating episode of Mr. Robot since season 2 episode 11... mostly in a good way. Similar to that episode, we get little plot progression, and what we do get is incredibly obtuse. Most of the episode is spent filling in the other side of the final sequence from 411; we see what our Elliot was up to in the time between our arrival in this parallel world (if that is what it is) and the meeting of the two. As such, there is a sense that we aren't getting anywhere; we've basically seen this already. Still, despite the inevitable sensation of treading water, we do get some nostalgic thrills similar to last episode. And once we finally catch up to where we left off last time, in the last 10 minutes or so, the episode becomes amazing and crazy and dark and mindblowing.
Ultimately, my opinion of this episode rests entirely on how the next one goes; Sam has more to answer for than ever, and only a short time in which to do it. I have utter faith in that man, but lord how he vexes me.

Top 3 Episode of Mr. Robot

I don't know what I expected of this episode. Being the penultimate of the series, I knew it would be good, but this blew me away. The entire sequence took place in whatever fantasy world Elliot was in, and it was absolutely thrilling and emotional. In my opinion, this is either the 2nd or 3rd best episode, only behind 407 I think. I honestly think this episode should be more like a 9.8 rather than a 9.5, but either way it's amazing. So excited for the finale.
brilliantly foreshadows what we find out in 413

When Elliot talks to himself at the end, it basically explains who the real Elliot is and what this other Elliot is supposed to be. The foreshadowing to the full reveal is so brilliant it honestly speaks for itself. There are so many more connections I'm sure will be made in future rewatches through the series as a whole.
Disappointed in no hidden eggs

The absolute lowest point
TheKing223 July 2020
Overall the 4th season was clearly conceived to be able to bring Mr Robot to its end. This episode clearly marks an all time low. Writers being lost. We've seen so much alternate story lines since Star Trek TOS that it shows writers cramping for storyline. Mr Robot should've ended mid season 3. I pity the smashing cast that show a clear loss with this episode as well.
DOMO ARIGATO MR ROBATO!!

Best intro in the series.
This episode was absolutely perfect in my opinion, too bad the episode after face planted a bit.
Been waiting to hear Mr Roboto used in the show since it came out, busting it out like that while they're obviously doing a Back to the Future homage was just too perfect.
Very nice ending since EPS 011 everything going to great end :)

Rewatch, 10/10
dcdude-2698811 August 2023
I found absolutely no flaws for this episode. I am starting to take back what I said about Band of Brothers S1 being my favorite season in television, because there were literally 3 flawless episodes of this season so far, and I have no doubt that the last one will be the same. If you finished this episode; I want to congratulate you because you just made it onto the last episode of the series. Anyways, my favorite characters in this episode were Elliot, Angela's mom, and Elliot. My favorite things about this episode were the Protagonist, actually I shouldn't really say what the top 3 aspects were, because this episode had no flaws whatsoever. This show is a must-watch.
Confused [8/10]

My Reaction / Review for Mr. Robot Season 4 Episode 12: Episode 11 was good and I gave it a rating of 8.5/10. Two episodes left, I expect greatness. Are we still in the alternate reality/dream world? I have so many questions, what's going on? This collage Angela made with pictures of her and Elliot is so cute. I really enjoy watching Elliot talking to Elliot. Wait, Elliot number 2 just hit his head? Will he die? This keeps getting weirder. Will Elliot number 1 let Elliot number 2 die like that? That's dark man, he is trying to end him, that's nothing like Elliot, I hate it. Elliot says ''please don't judge me'', well im here judging. Overall a great episode, very entertaining but also very confusing. My rating is 8/10.
Who am I?

This episode deserves 10. First half of the episode was 9.5/10 and second half is easly 10/10. Second half starts when Elliot returns to the other Elliot's house and starts to "dig in his computer". And when he finally finds something, which was something unexpected and unexplained, the other Elliot returns home and sees our Elliot in his house. After that we see some more unexpected things and the ending is something more unexpected. I will not spoil the ending tho. Mr robot just makes every episode better and better. That's why I love this show and it's my favourite shiw out there. I will rank this 10/10.
Ah okay, now I understand!

Before watching the final episode, I ranked this episode as a 7 or 8, because I was worried where all this alternate reality storyline was going. It felt we weren't going to get the payoff the show deserved or expected. I was shouting, "Don't let this be a Bobby Ewing in the shower." Dallas. But I did say to myself, trust Sam Esmail and the writers, this is bound to be his mind playing tricks...
After watching the final episode, I can look back and give this episode more credit as it was putting in the groundwork for the finale.
I didn't really spot too many BTTF easter eggs but am sure there were - clearly Sam is a huge fan of it.
