Also, when Elliot and whatshisname-Christian-Slater were in the Allsafe office, and later in the bar, nobody engaged with Slater at all. Not in the office, where he was yelling and making a ruckus, and not in the bar where the bartender only spoke to Elliot.
Elliot said in the first episode that he thinks of that company as "Evil Corp" so strongly that no matter what he really hears or what it really says, his brain hears it as "Evil Corp". So the company is not actually called that, that's just the way he sees it. All the time.

And there is no doubt Mr. Robot is in his mind. That was clear after the first episode, and made even more clear since.

Interesting series. I'm going to stick with it a while and see where it goes.

The jury's out on whether Mr. Robot is in the guy's head or not.

graves disease - Yahoo Image Search Results

I only know about that because daytime talk host Wendy Williams talked about it since she has the same condition and she works really hard to squint her eyes so the viewers don't notice it.

If the actor that plays Elliot has the same condition that would explain his bug out eyes.
I was re-watching the Twilight Breaking Dawn 2 movie on Sunday and he's in it and he looks just like he looks on Mr Robot (but with a more happy demeanor ) so that's not make-up.

Yeah, he's also in the Night at the Museum movies and looks just as creepy in them as well.

There is no doubt Mr. Robot is in his head. Watch any scene with him, and you'll notice no one, NO ONE, ever looks at Mr. Robot.

For example, in the bar this last episode, when the bartender comes over to take his order, he looks only at Elliott. He never even glanced at Mr. Robot sitting next to him.

The thing about that is, they are leaving that question unanswered. It could very well be that Elliot is Mr. Robot, and it could very well be that Mr. Robot is real.

This very edgy series continues to take risks. The hallucinating scenes last night were very arty and bizarre!

I will HAVE to rewatch last night's episode because it was very confusing and at the same time very deep when he was going through the withdrawals.

The ads were really deceptive, I assumed that the main character was some sort of robot since he looks and acts weird but its a show about a talented hacker trying to take down capitalism. I really loved the first episode, had a great deal of philosophy and moved along nicely.

I just rewatched the first episode and Elliot actually said that "everyone refers to it as Evil Corp" (it actually is just called "E Corp"). It isnt just him.
