AND!!! (We knew there was going to be an and....) when Gideon is talking to Elliot about "taking time off" after "shayla's death" he says, "I'm so sorry she was taken away, Elliot. But, don't let her death close you off entirely. Find someone you can be your honest self with." This is the ONLY TIME any other person mentions Shayla's death. THAT IS WEIRD. Perhaps Gideon is the "Creator" of Elliot's simulated world and that's why he's tried to be a sort of "fatherly" figure... honestly, everyone is focusing on Tyrell right now, but his role and what he means will come in season 2, I think. The first season is about Gideon, Shayla and Vera and "US" - Elliot's imaginary friend. this is, Truman show meets fight club meets inception meets shutter island. AMAZING. EVEN THE DOG'S NAME IS FLIPPER. COME ON. Also, Romero isn't on the "team" because he wants to be.... Mr. Robot is forcing his hand. This could be important. Ok. Ok. Ok. come along with me on this weird journey.... In episode 7, Elliot is dealing with Shayla's death... And then Tyrell (very surprisingly) kills Shannon.... What IF, it's like a video game (a theme we see OVER AND OVER, the hack den is legit in an arcade you guys), as a rebuttal.... Like, Tyrell and Elliot are on the same team, and because Shayla is killed, the "team" takes down Shannon.... Just a thought This is a GAME. Gah. AND AND AND AND Krista. her office wallpaper looks like code. And she watches "anal" porn - much like the male proclivities we've seen from Tyrell (and I think, eventually Elliot). Krista wishes her mother was dead (like Elliot probably does). And Krista doesn't take her meds, like Elliot doesn't. And Krista feels alone like Elliot feels alone, he says.... What if Krista and Elliot are the same person; like Krista is who Elliot becomes when he needs to ground himself.....

OR!!! What if this is like Shutter Island and everyone is simulating a situation so that Elliot will come terms with reality... Honestly, that would be way better than a fight club scenario.... AND in the flashback sequence with Shayla in the opening of episode 7, her first words (as she's banging on Elliot's door are, "Open up! I'm bleeding all over the hallway! This is a life or death situation out here!" And she brings him a FISH. this cannot be a coincidence... i have no other hobbies. ?

I am rewatching season 1 right now. At the end of episode 6, when Vera takes Shayla, and Elliot and Darlene walk into the apartment and find the phone in the middle of the floor, Vera says something along the lines of the universe keeps bringing the two of "us" together. And in the opening of episode 6, Shayla says, "this doesn't feel real." And Elliot tells her she should eat. ... Shayla again (for the third time in the series) talks about the importance of keeping promises. Mr. Robot also puts a lot of emphasis on promises which is interesting.... When Elliot talks to Vera after Shayla is taken away, Vera talks about being locked up (much like Elliot's real memories) and that he has to get him out tonight, because people want him dead. And then he tells Elliott he loves him and calls him brother (in almost the exact same way Darlene tells Elliott she loves him in episode 7, which I thought was very interesting). I kind of don't think Shayla is real. And the flash back in the next episode where Shayla moves in and gives Elliot the fish is totally random and not anything like the rest of the show.... idk, something is up with Vera and Shayla for sure though.... also, the dream sequence in episode 4, when Elliot is going through withdrawals, I think there is a LOT of information in that sequence that will be important. For instance, the shooting at the squatter house. It's in the background and we barely see what's going on or why or how it started until the girl sitting on Elliot is shot and then Elliot is shot as well. Could this be indicative the trauma that caused Elliott's dissociative tendencies? any thoughts? Also, in every single episode, there are MULTIPLE references and pictures of fish, fishing, baiting. im starting to wonder if Elliott was in some type of accident where he's in a coma or trapped inside his mind, and this is all some sort of program to try to bring him out of it. Like, Inception or something...
