It just occured to me that in Season 1 Episode 3 of Mr Robot (da3m0ns), while Elliot is going through withdrawal Mr Robot has removed his jacket and has his trademark shirt with the sleeves rolled up. In these scenes he resembles Edward. He even tells Elliot that he wouldn't leave him. A call back (or in this case foreshadowing) to the scene where he tells Elliot in the graveyard, standing over Edward's grave that he will never leave him. And again the car scene we are privy to where Edward tells young Elliot he won't leave him. In the withdrawal scenes he is sticking by Elliot's side while he is sick and while he goes through something very taxing on the body. Almost a mirror of the sickness Edward went through with leukaemia. This show is like a time machine. The more I watch it, the more I uncover and in an order that is both disordered and almost perfectly placed.

Sometimes I wonder if Sam is aware of the comfort Mr Robot brings so many people and the irony of that. I don't think he ever expected it to affect people in the way that it has. Sure people were bound to relate in some way but to find that so many people can relate with the darkest parts of your work must be pretty astonishing.
