Mr. Robot - Discussion

Many of you have probably been enjoying Mr. Robot as much as I have. Did anyone notice an enormous plot hole though? What genius hacker would ever buy from a dealer instead of a darknet market? The show pretty accurately portrays technology and IT security systems, but for some reason dnms aren't talked about. I wonder if it's the writers doing us a favor by not trying to popularize them?

Probably edited. 'USA' doesn't want to give a tutorial on buying drugs on-line. Maybe if I had a hot and dirty girl next door I wouldn't be circle jerking with you guys.

This has been discussed to death on the /r/mrrobot sub

If you can get your drugs from your hot neighbor vs some random off the dnm's, which would you choose? Most people will go with the hot neighbor.

Maybe he knows something about DNMs that we don't?

I think you guys are missing the fact that he was giving stuff away or something. Also cannaxpress000 also mentioned something fishy about Nucleus. But I guess that part is totally overlooked.

I wouldn't call that an enormous plot hole. It also wouldn't have allowed for the current story to play out like it has now. Also USA doesn't put out shows for 1 season and cancel them so DNMs could be part of a future plot development.

Elliot uses opiates. Which are fucking crazy expensive on DNM. What does it matter if he's a genius hacker? I work a similar job that he does at AllSafe, does that mean I shouldn't be buying drugs locally?

And how is this a plot hole??

I feel like they might've brushed on it? I recall he went into detail about forging doctor prescription pads... Maybe the complexity of Elliotts life dnm wouldn't be sufficient...? Brilliant show btw

If he did not get his drugs off Shayla we would not have the current ark we have that just started at the end of the last episode.

Anyway considering the last episode I can imagine the darknet will come up now. Seperatly everyone here thinks the darknet is some hidden thing nobody knows about, a movie called Dope was out recently that was about selling on the darknet, its not a hidden market anymore rofl.

I believe it was in the first episode, he had specifically mentioned TOR and said it wasn't as secure as people thought.

This isn't that bad of a plot hole. Way worse is the one about taking 30mgs of morphine everyday while using suboxone. Mate, im on suboxone and tried shooting 20mg oxy with no effect. no fucking way is this guy on self prescribed opiate maintenance and able to get high off 30mg morphine. Fuck even without the subox!!. 30mg of morphine everyday is still 30mg morphine. It would take a long time to build up a decent tolerance but it would still happen. Jesus wtf.

Great show. Love it. But lol.

I take it this is a TV show, had not even heard of it? AMC,HBO,Netflicks..??


[1 Points] None:

the non-dnm method, in that show, is safer than dnm, especially for elliott


[1 Points] escalat0r:

It's a show first, that means that they need characters and how would they introduce her character when he's a loner? She needs some connection to him and this is why she is his dealer in the show.

Partially for plot lines, hell they just killed off the chick and the supplier should be gone for now. But he could always come back for help.
