Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
The way Mr. Robot thrillingly drew everything back to the start in tonight's Season 3 finale, you'd think it was the actual endgame for the series. I mean, it makes sense. Elliot was out to utterly undo the Five/Nine hack (not that he could ever bring back the thousands who died in the bombings), Angela learned that Phillip Price was her freakin' dad (a twist that deftly borrowed from another sci-fi classic, The Empire Strikes Back, and not Back to the Future), and Elliot learned that his father never pushed him out a window at all. All of this had the markings for a series finale.
Of course, there was still Dom being under the Dark Army's terrifying thumb now and Elliot being beholden to Whiterose and her crazy Congo scheme. There were still issues to deal with and evil plots to thwart, but the rest of the story had all the hallmarks of a final episode. The Rules of a Part 3, as stated in Scream 3 - namely "Whatever you think you know about the past, forget it" - came alive here, giving "shutdown -r" a nice feeling of closure. As if, perhaps, mastermind Sam Esmail wasn't sure about a Season 4. Mr. Robot is uniquely and wonderfully crafted, and mostly critically acclaimed, but it's never quite been a ratings smash. There was an undercurrent of uncertainty this season, especially given its "back to basics" approach to storytelling that leaned more into the suspense of Season 1 than the "smoke and mirrors" of Season 2.
