If you have not watched every episode of Mr. Robot or read Red Wheelbarrow this could contain spoilers *Spoiler Alert*

God Is In The Details

No one who has been emasculated by crushing or cutting may enter the assembly of the Lord — Deuteronomy 23:1

Last season I took a ton of grief from Redditors who would get mad when I suggested that Elliot had committed many crimes, caused many deaths (as the result of 5/9), and that he had probably shot Tyrell Wellick with the “popcorn gun.”

After tonight’s episode, I take back my apology. I was mostly right.

E-Prime, in the form of Mr. Robot, did in fact attempt to shoot Tyrell and but for a pistol malfunction, Tyrell would have gone down for the dirt nap (nice suit and all).

Elliot wasn’t entirely wrong to feel guilty about having shot Tyrell during Season 2 (he just had a faulty memory of the actual events).

Even more interesting:
