During last night ’s Mr. Robotseason one closing curtain , Gizmodo and io9 shared ever - so - quick appearance during a mini - montage of on-line medium outlets the independent fictitious character reads in a crisis . I had no approximation it was make out and it made me interview my reality and sanity , kinda . SPOILERS .
If you ’ve seen the show , particularly last Nox ’s episode ( which chronicled the long - awaited end of megarich Evil Corp via an larger-than-life hack ) , you ’ll do it that the show ’s subject matter straddles fact and fiction . In this scene , Elliot and the crew had succeed in taking down the biggest corp in the Earth , but he has no store of it . So he ’s disentangle the intelligence to fill in monolithic chasm in his memory board . In real life , we ’ve had no shortages of huge hacks lately ( Ashley Madison , Sony , Anthem , etc . ) , so Mr. Robot ’s game is semi - plausible , at least .
Well , that line of credit between illusion and the real existence was smudged crowing sentence for me , as I was madly typing musical note during the show for today’srecap , only to see my employer ostentate across the whole silver screen for a one - Mississippi bit . I was watching Gizmodo on Mr. Robot as I was drop a line about Mr. Robot on Gizmodo . Who and where am I ?
on the face of it , USA had make out to my boss , Annalee , and they were all like , yo , can we show Gizmodo and io9 in the finale really quick . And clearly we were all like , aw hell yeah . ( Other issue that seem in the show last night were BuzzFeed , CRN , Wired , and Business Insider . )
So , what befall when spiritualist outlets appear in entertainment mass medium like this ? Well , in this pillow slip , they reached out asking for permission , but could n’t vouch it ’d actually make the concluding cut . Other time , it ’s the media electrical outlet who reach out out to the studios or net instead , ask for a plug .
And then other times , no conversation is had at all , as was apparently the case in an episode ofSilicon Valley , in which Giz could sort of be made out on a monitor lizard in a setting , as pointed out by a reader to my colleague Kate Knibbs :

Anyway , it was cool . The only matter , the bylines used in the show belonged to no genuine human being workings here , which might be a effectual thing . But hey , I ’m beginning to interview what ’s real at this point . Maybe “ Stephen Beatrice ” will become the phantasmic Christian Slater of my own mind .
