Mr. Robot [SPOILERS]

I think this is the first episode and scene where someone else interacts with him. Hope they don't do a flash back thing, like Fight Club or any of the countless movie/series...

I think the series is partly and 'visually' narrated by Elliot, Mr Robot is both real and his alter ego. In the case that Mr Robot is truly real, who is he?
 
Got a call from a friend of mine yesterday to ask if we had anything to do with the production of Mr.Robot currently playing on DSTV as he swore he saw our E logo on some the PC's on the TV series , Thank heavens for DSTV catch-up and decided to watch it and was pleasantly surprised to see that they used the exact E logo :D

Anyone else noticed this ????

Had been mentioned back during the pilot episode discussion. The American audience believe it is a play on the Enron Corporation (also an tilted E logo, like Dell and Esquire), an American energy, commodities and services company. The creator later agreed, to quote Wikia,

http://mrrobot.wikia.com/wiki/E_Corp

During an interview on Google, Sam Esmail, the creator of the the series, stated that E Corp's logo is actually the Enron logo. Enron was an infamous energy conglomerate that went bankrupt in 2001, after irregular and fraudulent accounting procedures, leaving thousands unemployed. Like E Corp, Enron's holdings included a large broadband and online streaming division. Enron's CEO, Kenneth Lay, was a leading contributor, and close friend to then-sitting President George W. Bush. He was convicted of 10 counts of fraud, but died on a skiing vacation in Colorado before he could be sentenced.

Good show very reminiscent of Fight Club in its social commentary about consumerism.

New sickness seems to be social media. Some Person of Interest and Dexter thrown in as well.

Smart and witty voice over.
