That’s right, friends! We’re in the home stretch now. The fourth and final season of USA Network’s Mr. Robot premieres tomorrow, but we have the final two days for you today!
It feels like Christmas! …oh wait. It is Christmas – at least in Mr. Robot land.
Before we get to our final two “gifts”, we have a quick recap of what all we’ve gotten so far from Mr. Robot’s tree of commercialism, in festive rhyme, of course.
Start with Day “Eleven” and you’ll get “Silver Bells”.
Day “Ten” shows Zhang and Mr. Price, who sounds like he’s in Hell.
Day “Nine” gives us cast photos, posters if you like.
Day “Eight” saw Dom interrogated, try as they might.
Day “Seven” was a holiday card, from F-Society.
Day “Six” presents trinkets, Funko POP! figures we all need.
Day “Five” is a sweater to keep you toasty while you’re hacking.
Day “Four” peeks behind the scenes, perspective we’ve been lacking.
Day “Three” delivers throwbacks, in Christmas sitcom form…
(…a happy family together, something Elliot mourns)
Day “Two” has more interviews and a look at the season.
Day “One” has Angela Moss, loyal to Whiterose… but for what reason?
Yes, Day “Two” was very reminiscent of Day “Four” – we got another behind the scenes interview/ look ahead video. This “special features DVD extra” is titled “This is How it Ends”.
While Day “One” brought us a clip of a conversation between Angela and Phillip Price where she is winding him up and trying to convince him that Whiterose’s plan should be trusted.
Uh-oh, somebody is still drinking deep from the Dark Army kool-aid. Spoiler: it’s Angela.
She really sounds like that one family member who joined some crazy cult like Scientology and is now trying desperately to convince other people [and themself] that it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Not convinced it is? Maybe because the Dark Army is still totally a terrorist organization. Oh, Angela. Sweet Angela, how did you get reality so twisted around in your mind?
Oh, right. Probably because Elliot and Darlene and your terrible ex-boyfriend dragged you into this hot hacking mess of an underground world. Oops.
Can this be how the countdown event ends? I am rushing the gates for this premiere – the content was nice, but now it just feels like we’ve been inundated with so much that I can’t take it anymore.
Another behind the scenes? Great, add it to the pile. More pictures? Awesome, didn’t know what to do with the first dozen, I’m sure another will be the key to their usefulness. Oh, you have the entire cast show up at my door with a Christmas feast? Rad. I didn’t clean the apartment, but I guess they can sit on my living room floor.
I don’t mean to be a grumpy fan here, but it just seems like the hype has topped out, for me at least. I have been so excited for this, and I almost feel fatigued with all the promo content and trailers and sneak previews – how much is enough, USA Network?
I’m not saying I don’t want any, and the advent countdown is for sure a cute and very on brand idea, but it’s just a lot. I mean, we get radio silence for years between seasons – even once the season is in production, we get basically nothing official. And then? A month before the season drops, we start getting flooded with content.
You already had us on board, USA. We’re loyal, and we can only get so hype. Trust us, we’re hyped enough.
…But if you do have any more fun trailers or clips, we’ll take those in the next couple days.
