but i gotta write it down.
oh my god. they’re going to erase not only the history of all land property, but whiterose is going to literally hack people. everything is going to be erased so there won’t be any history of power. everything will be reset. it’s going to be a massive reset and there’s some sort of renewal that will change everything. i’m not sure what yet.
the power outages are really important and the broadcast on angela’s tv at the end of the last episode points again at the power outages. there’s more to them than what it seems. the more people are chipped, the more mental energy is produced.
angela, when she’s at the lawyer’s place, flickers the light on purpose. her emotion is power and it’s strong.
elliot, when in the hideout with tyrell, flickers the light when he’s about to get into the elevator because he doesn’t have control over it. the emotion is confusion and it is very strong.
darlene, when walking through the cubicles, also flickers the lights. she’s feeling powerful and in awe, and probably also scared. but it’s a pivotal moment. she’s seeing how much of an effect she’s made and the emotion is strong.
tyrell and elliot also have a moment where tyrell is like “its a good thing they gave us these computers in lieu of the power outages.” either that’s whiterose sending a message through the lights flickering, or whiterose is running some kind of tests behind the scenes that need a lot of power.
regardless of exactly what it is, the “power outages” is really integral.
sam literally never does anything in scenes unless there’s a reason. he wouldn’t have the lights flickering at those moments if it didn’t mean it wasn’t important.
there’s a reason why it’s called mr. robot.
