    I don't actually think he is at his moms. It's weird how everyone visits him, he does not go to them. They also always meet him at the same table, like that is where people meet. The schedule he is on and the fact that he eats with the same person everyday makes it seem like he is in a hospital of some sort. Maybe a psych ward. I think a lot of this is happening in his head. The way Ray was able to get him out of the hospital so easily after the beating is probably because he runs the hospital and/or psych ward.

    No one ever says that Elliot is with his mother.
    We pray for understanding as we all occasionally request back door action by accident, when we tried to call an electrician. It happens, it simply happens.

    A lot of people are saying Elliot isnt with his mom, or hes in a psyche ward, so on. Personally I dont really buy it and Id be super, super disappointed if they are like SURPRISE, HE WAS IN A COMA THE WHOLE SEASON or something.

    Interesting take on the potential impact of this all being a delusion, pros and cons. The date on the article appears wrong tho, its talking about things that happened recently..

    Regardless, it touches on the 'metal fatigue' threat of a huge 'he was in a hospital all along' gimmick/reveal.

    That said, after reading all the points they lay out, I do feel its more possible than I did this morning, but really when you look at shit like his sister basically taking over an eCorp directors apartment to use as a staging base for attacks, gauging the chances of something being real or not in this series seems flaky somehow.

    But yeah, if Ray turns out to be a fucking doctor/orderly at Bellevue, Im going to have to downgrade this series stock.

    If it led to a remake of the Disorderlies I'd probably let it slide

    I really am not a fan of these types of 'twists'.

    been reading the trade reports and it appears im not alone in resenting that the show wasted about 7.5 hours of my life on a dream sequence.

    his response honestly made me angrier than anything else.


    just own your shit and say you had a vision and you stuck to it.


    its a gorgeous show, i still adore it, but its fucking far from perfect and thats just one of several cringe items on my list.

    But, he said he would never do it again.... It wasn't all a dream sequence... he also says that everything actually happened.

    Pretty sure either Elliot or his sister end up in that incinerator by the time this is wrapped up.

    Just binged watched this show all the way up to 2.09 inclusive

    Started off thinking this is really weird but somehow here I still am, hooked

    Episode 2.07 left me feeling cheated (hadn't been reading this thread until now on purpose) but it has loads of potential

    Season 2 far better than 1 imo, a friend tried to tell me nothing happens but it's far more intense and addictive than first

    Next episode on thursday then...?
    BALLIN'!!
