Where the heck was Tyrell Wellick (Martin Wallstrom), the ex-E Corp wannabe CTO who joins Elliot’s cause to take the corporation down at the end of Episode 9? Plot-wise, this enabled Elliot to come toe-to-toe with Tyrell’s Lady Macbeth, his wife Joanna (Stephanie Corneliussen), who ultimately will become a formidable foe to Elliot next season. “Her motivations are a little murky this season, but they will get clearer next season. We’ll see her rise,” says Esmail, who considers her “the hinged version” to Tyrell’s nemesis.

However, Tyrell being MIA speaks more to Elliot’s mental condition. Esmail reveals: “Elliot has lost his sense of time. When did he lose time before? He created fsociety but doesn’t remember that. He’s had conversations that he isn’t even privy to. We’re going to explore that dynamic. When can you trust yourself? Tyrell is the first big mystery into that. He is missing. How does Elliot figure that out?”

Adds Esmail: “The show is about a guy who has this disorder in real time that we’re discovering with him. What do you do when your alter ego has acted as you? How do you deal with that emotionally and practically on a real-world level?”

His original name was Elliot Rodgers (changed because of the murderer), so if there's a deeper meaning to his name it's likely on his first name, not last.

 

I'm going to take my response to the Anticipation thread since it's not a spoiler.

We now have a new topic, a spot to discuss Season One as a whole; Mr. Robot Season One: Where Our Minds Are Twisted Upside Outtop. And back again., since now that the season is over, spoilers will not be happening much for awhile.

 

Enjoy!
