Chaka Khan, Missy Elliott, The Spinners & DJ Kool Herc & George Michael Were Inducted Into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame

youtube

Missy Elliott, DJ Kool Herc, The Spinners, Chaka Khan, George Michael, and Don Cornelius were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Elliott is the first female rapper to have the honor. Queen Latifah introduced Elliott before she performed a medley of her hits onstage at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn during the induction ceremony on Saturday, November 4th. Jazmine Sullivan introduced Khan, who performed "I Feel For You" with Common rapping Melle Mel's part. H.E.R. and Sia joined her while she sang "Ain't Nobody," "Sweet Thing," and "I'm Every Woman." Khan brought Tony Maiden from Rufus after she accepted her award. New Edition put on a well-choreographed show in tribute to The Spinners, while a Soul Train scenario played out in the background in honor of Don Cornelius. Andrew Ridgeley, who was one-half of Wham with Michael, inducted his later former bandmate. Miguel, Adam Levine, and Carrie Underwood performed some of Michael's classics, including "Careless Whisper" and "Faith."

My Percy Jackson Fancast

Before anyone comments, I casted based on what age they would be when they enter the series, so some actors may appear to young, but they will be the right age when that film were to come around. Also this is just my opinion.

Flora and Harry also struck up a relationship, and Flora tried to make friends with the others in her apartment block by keeping her door open and inviting them in. Unfortunately this often led to Elliott and Naomi breaking some social taboos on her couch.

also - rereading east of eden in bits and pieces - i’m jumping around because using it for research - and some of the descriptions of kate give me such dottie underwood s1 vibes - the plays innocent and stupid like a mask thing just hm dottie.

they’re entirely different, separate characters because kate doesn’t have the identity issues that dottie so obviously does - for all her assassin genius, dottie, when left alone, forms herself into the image of people who she thinks are...well, what she thinks of peggy is complicated (what was it bridget said? she wasn’t sure if she wanted to fuck her, kill her, or be her? so she played her as wanting all three?)--

either way, that’s not an issue with kate. she’s much more like rose in that regard. ish.

or, really, because cathy - kate - came first, they’re like her.

...which makes me think of bridget being questioned about playing villains and it’s - they want something and she doesn’t play them as villains but as people who are going after the thing they want and - hm.

bridget did you read this.

#musings #dottie underwood #bridget regan #cathy ames #speculation #although obviously some of those vibes would be the writers #but a lot of them i think are character choices that come from bridget #makes me wonder #briefly #but again - pure speculation #it's like amy elliott dunne makes me think of cathy/kate too #it's part of why i don't see aed as being a sociopath and why i see her as bpd (other than the symptoms lining up better)#(aed obviously idealizes the guys she's with - they're her fp - and they drop at a moment's notice #she shapes herself to be something for them #and she obviously has the fear of abandonment in relation to her mother #and then the methodical etc. is more a symptom of ocpd than aspd #but that's another conversation)#a n y w a y

Jenny, a ten-year old elephant, tries out the Giant Underwood Master Typewriter at the New York World’s Fair, 1939-40. The machine was displayed at the Underwood Elliott Fisher Exhibit in the Business Systems and Insurance Building. At 18 feet high and more than 14 tons, it was 1,728 times larger than the regular Underwood Master and took three years to build. Each typebar weighed 45 pounds; the carriage alone, 3,500 pounds. Letters were typed on “stationery” measuring 9 by 12 feet, and the ribbon in the machine was 100 feet long and five inches wide.

Review and analysis

SPOILERS AHEAD

At first, the show is seemingly about Elliot Alderson, cybersecurity analyst by day and vigilante hacker by night, and how he joins an Anonymous-inspired anarchist hacker collective, fsociety.

Their leader, the eponymous Mr. Robot, wants to target a multinational called E Corp to delete all their debt records and provoke "the biggest mass redistribution of wealth in world history". They want to recruit Elliot because he works for Allsafe, the company responsible for E Corp's cybersecurity, and also because he left their backdoor in E Corp's server. To execute their plan on a global scale, fsociety needs the help of the Dark Army, a violent Chinese hacker group.

We also meet Tyrell Wellick, an ambitious senior VP of technology at E Corp who is taken with Elliot and wants to recruit him to E Corp. Tyrell and his wife want Tyrell to become CTO and they will do anything to achieve their goal, much like the Underwoods in House of Cards. There is a cat and mouse game going on between Elliot and Tyrell. On this surface level, Mr. Robot is an anarchist criticism of capitalism.

However, Mr. Robot burries the lede. It turns out it and Elliot contain multitudes and minor plot points and characters are more important than they appear to be:

We hear Elliot's paranoid internal monologue as he adresses us.

Much like Dexter, Elliot hides trophies. Except that Elliot's aren't of kills but of vigilante hacks, which he keeps on fake music CDs. The first vigilante hack we see him do is to tip the police off to a pedophile.

Elliott struggles with a drug addiction and dates his dealer, Shayla, who is beaten by her possessive supplier, Fernando Vera. To protect Shayla, Elliot tips off the police about Vera's operation and gets him arrested. However, Vera develops an unhealthy obsession with Elliot's hacking skills and has deep connections. He gets Shayla abducted to blackmail Elliot to hack him out of jail. When Elliot breaks him out and Vera escapes, he discovers that Shayla had been killed earlier.

Jump cuts imply that Elliot loses track of time and when he kisses Darlene, a fellow member of fsociety, it breaks Elliot's grasp of reality, as she claims to be his sister. We then discover proof that Elliot has been misremembering events and that no one else sees Mr. Robot, because Mr. Robot is an alter ego and Elliot founded f society with Darlene.

The above elements are our first hint that there is more than meets the eye and that there are large gaps in Elliot's stories. It becomes clear that he suffers from DID, which is still a controversial diagnosis. This condition is believed to be triggered by traumatic events where the mind represses the event by splitting itself into alters as a survival mechanism. In this light, chosing a computer analyst as the main character is an interesting metaphor, since computers can also be split into partitions. I believe that naming his alter Mr. Robot and saving his trophies to CDs and burning the original motherboard hint to DID. At the same time, the show also uses real hacks and in this case a real-life safety procedure. A nice bonus is that the show's hacks were all vetted by security analysts, which is apparently rare. Following the QR codes, links and IP addresses also lead to Easter eggs when the show was broadcast.

The rest of the show is about Elliot struggling to break free of his Mr. Robot alter, especially after the 5/9 E Corp hack which he forgets since Mr. Robot took over to launch phase two of his plan.

Another interesting character from Elliot and Darlene's past is their childhood friend Angela. Angela got Elliot his job at Allsafe and their favorite movie is Back to the Future. Angela is attracted to men who treat her badly and Elliot is protective of her. What unites them is the leak of the Washington Township power plant, where Elliott's father, who had a computer repair shop called Mr. Robot and looks like Elliott's alter ego, and Angela's beloved mother were exposed to irradiated matter and subsequently died. Angela uncovers new evidence of E Corp's involvement and almost single-handedly manages to re-launch the class action lawsuit. Her gumption impresses E Corp's CEO Phillip Price and he offers her a job, which she unexpectedly accepts. She becomes his protege. Unbeknownst to Elliot, she has been helping his Mr. Robot persona achieve phase two. This is also why she got Elliot a job at E Corp, which he used to try to atone for 5/9 and try to prevent phrase two.

After 5/9 a massive FBI manhunt is launched to find Tyrell Wellick, believed to be the f society's leader, and the divide between poor and rich becomes even more marked. E Corp even launches their own bitcoin, so they profit from 5/9.

A key collaborator of E Corp's CEO is the Chinese Minister of State Security, who keeps pushing for a UN vote so that China can annex Congo as a quid pro quo where China would adopt E Corp's digital currency. We gradually learn that there is more than meets the eye and that this Chinese minister is actually the Dark Army's mysterious leader Whiterose, a time-obsessed transgender woman. Dark Army is also more important than we were lead to believe, as they have plants everywhere, including in the FBI. They had been hiding Tyrell Wellick since 5/9 and have nefarious plans involving the second phrase and moving a power plant to Congo. Whiterose kidnaps and radicalizes Angela by convincing her that she can bring her mother back from the dead. Angela is instrumental in phase two. During large protests, violent rioters planted by the Dark Army break into E Corp wearing masks in a scene reminiscent of Clockwork Orange. Angela uses the confusion to access the server room and insert malware that makes 71 server farms explode. She was lead to believe that there would be no casualties, but thousands of people die. Darlene visits her out of concern and she is in complete denial rewinding the tape to bring everyone back.

Then there is an intermezzo where we are introduced to several colorful Dark Army assassins and two FBI agents.

One of the assassins is Irving, a mustache-wearing pathological liar, who is a budding writer and enjoys barbecue. He enjoys his job as an assassin but wants to retire to write his book. In some ways, he's like Colin Farrell's character in the Gentlemen. What makes him interesting is that he also has a friendly demeanor and often give the other characters good advice, although he keeps lying about his background story to put them at ease. Irving hides Wellick and also kills the FBI plant when he becomes a liability, which saves the main characters.

The other assassin is Leon, a cool black man who loves pop culture and literature references. Leon also does not feel a deep allegiance to the Dark Army and later becomes a gun for hire. Among other things, Leon debates the injustice of Knight Rider not having recieved an Emmy since it anticipated our modern relationship with technology, while Frasier recieved many.

He's right that the title song is hard to forget (you're welcome):

Leon does this while seemingly driving two fsociety hackers, Trenton and Mobley, to their death in the desert. He however helps the protagonists on multiple other occasions.

A character who illustrates our relationship to technology particularly well is the insomniac FBI agent Dominique DiPierro, who replaces human contact with her Alexa. Dominique has an unshakable moral compass and has been on the Dark Army and fsociety's trail for a long time. Her chief is revealed to be a Dark Army mole, which explains his reluctance. She becomes linked with Darlene's story when she catches her after Darlene's boyfriend is assassinated in front of their eyes by the Dark Army. Darlene refuses to talk, but Dominique shows her the extent of her investigation and manages to turn her into a criminal informer. After Darlene is no longer an informer, the two get drunk together and have a one night stand. When her chief is murdered by Irving, Dominique is blackmailed to take his place. She resents Darlene for her involvement, since her family is threatened and her moral values are compromised. She finally gets a good night sleep on the plane to Budapest, where she was supposed to escape with Darlene. However, Darlene thinks Dominique abandoned her and has a panic attack in the airport's bathroom where she decides that she doesn't need anyone and she can be fine on her own. This resolves her character arc.

Two remaining character arcs concern Whiterose and Elliot, whose moral arguments are also interesting. However, before we discuss that, we need to delve into the cause of Elliot's DID.

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️

If you have PTSD or experienced trauma in the past, I suggest that you skip this part.

At this point, it has become clear that Mr. Robot is an idealized version of his father that always says the right thing. Though flashbacks we realize that Elliot's mother was very mean and we also see that he and his sister aren't close to her. During his visits to his psychiatrist, Krista, Elliot reveals that he jumped out of the window to escape his father. This does not match the flashbacks where Elliot and his father are close. Elliott's sessions are cut short when he reveals his Mr. Robot alter and his involvement in 5/9, which scare Krista.

However, they are forced back together by an unlikely third party. Fernando Vera comes back after he conquered the drug market of his native Dominican republic. He has grandiose plans of taking over NYC with Elliot's help. After seeing a photo of Elliot interacting with Krista, he decides that she will help convince Elliot and abducts her. He then forces her to reveal Elliot's file in breach of her oath. When Elliot turns up to save Krista, he reads Krista's notes to manipulate Elliot and forces the two to continue their therapy session and keeps interfering. Krista protesting that this is not how therapy is supposed to work and apologizing to Elliot, but Vera does not care. However, they keep going because Elliot also desperately wants to understand what happened to him. Krista then asks about what lead to Elliot jumping out of the window, what he remembers and finally if he was abused by his father. A tearful Elliot doesn't know how to go on and Vera consoles him to manipulate him. Krista then stabs him in the back and the two escape from Vera's henchmen. Knowing this allows for the appearance of Elliot's child alter who he apologizes to for not protecting him. It is unfortunately very common for survivors to blame themselves. It turns out that Elliot hid the key to his room, so he did actually attempt to protect himself. We also discover that Mr. Robot, child Elliot and a mother alter meet in a skyscraper in Elliot's mind.

⚠️ END OF TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️

What motivates the primary antagonist, Whiterose, becomes clear in a flashback. In the 80's, she successively negotiates a large deal with the US on behalf of the Chinese government. In her room, her interpreter is revealed to be her lover who she comes out to as trans. They want her to become ambassador to the US, because their love is forbidden in China. However, the deal is so successful that she is offered a better post in China. She takes it, hoping to change goverment policy. Before that happens, her lover kills himself before his wedding to a woman, since he lost hope. This sends Whiterose on a path to get her lover back. She forms the Deus group, a large conspiracy between the one percenters headed by E Corps' CEO. This somewhat vindicates Elliot's paranoia, but the most interesting part is what she is using her influence for. We already know that she pushed for China to annex Congo, but why? She wants to move her power plant in Washington Township there.

This power plant is shown to be a VLHC (Very Large Hadron Collider) a hundred times more powerful than the one at CERN. It is also heavily implied that Whiterose believes it to be a time machine or at least a machine that can link parallel worlds, which explains all the references to Back to the Future. This is where the show veers from realism into scifi, since the technology presented in the show is normally realistic (save for the simultaneous translation engine Darlene used, of course).

After the E Corp riots, Angela wants retribution. She discusses this with Phillip who reveals that he is her biological father. This also explains why Allsafe got the E Corp contact and why he wanted to make her his protege. He revealed this in an attempt to protect her, but since she won't back off, the Dark Army kills her. This motivates Phillip to help Elliot avenge his daughter by taking down the Deus Group and Whiterose's plant. After Elliot and Darlene steal the Deus Group's funds, Philip is killed by Whiterose. She is then hunted by a SWAT team, but manages to escape thanks to her security detail who overpower the FBI.

This leads us to the events at the Washington Township power plant. After Darlene and Dominique escaped, Elliot is captured by the Dark Army while attempting to hack the power plant. He is then lead to Whiterose who attempts to convert him like she converted Angela. Their different outlooks are especially interesting:

- Whiterose believe herself to be the good guy, since she wants to use her machine to erase all the events that went wrong.

- Elliot, on the other hand, believes her machine to be dangerous. He is afraid that the machine isn't stable and she will kill many people when she launches it.

This makes Whiterose laugh in disbelief since she points out that Elliot named his group f society. She also believes that that have much in common. She ultimately tries to prove that she is right by shooting herself, since she believes she will be brought back once her machine starts. Elliot tries to stop the machine but then blacks out.

He wakes up in bed, but nothing is quite as it seems:

Elliot has a completely different demeanor and it is revealed that he is the founder of Allsafe. He convinces a more introverted Wellick to give Allsafe the contract with F Corp. He is about to marry Angela who's parents are together - Phillip retired. Elliot's parents are also both still alive and married. Surprisingly, they are great parents. Elliot gets home and we see our Elliot at his keyboard. We then see the same events unfold from our Elliot's perspective. He leaves the area where the power plant was and it doesn't exist. He sees a 50's billboard going into town which is likely a Back to the Future reference. It is revealed that Darlene doesn't exist. It becomes clear that he is more introverted than this Elliot. They compare lives, but then the other Elliot hurts his head during an earthquake. Our Elliot hides the body in a self-storage unit, which I found rather funny. Unfortunately for Elliot, this world isn't real. He created it to store his primary self in an ideal world. This is also why Darlene doesn't exist, since she is his tie to the real world. Elliot has to come to terms with the fact that he's just another alter. He then watches his life unfold in a cinema like the one he went to with his father as a child. The camera zooms out to reveal an eye that looks like Whiterose's particle accelerator. We then view Darlene welcome the real Elliot when he wakes up in POV. This makes sense, since he became a bystander as a result of his condition. It is left ambiguous whether he time travelled or not, but I believe it was all just a clever metaphor.

I enjoyed the show overall, especially:

the level of attention given to coding

the stand-alone episodes like the ones with Trenton's brother or Elliot and Darlene's heist

the pop culture references

I am also a fan of time travel stories, so the last few episodes and references to Back to the Future were an added bonus.

I'd love for more people to watch it. Unfortunately it's also hard to recommend due to the heavy themes it goes into.
