The episode opens in a flashback some time just after Oct 28, 1994. That is the latest release date the 3 movie titles mentioned & when all 3 were in theaters at the same time. Pulp Fiction (1994), Sept 10, 1994 - Timecop (1994), Sept 16, 1994 - Stargate (1994), Oct 28, 1994.

Elliot (Rami Malek) uses VMS (virtual machine software) to view his father (Christian Slater)'s old pictures in Windows 7 based platform. He also uses the software when he hacks the jail's network in the car in an earlier episode. VMS is widely used even today by most of software engineers.

In the train scene, different stickers of fsociety can be seen in the background.

Timecop (1994), one of the films mentioned in the flashback scene, stars Gloria Reuben, who plays Elliot (Rami Malek)'s psychiatrist in this series.

Music:

  • "Hug from Dad" composed by Justin Hurwitz, from the Whiplash original sound track (2014). Plays during the flashback montage of changes the Mr. Robot store, and Elliot's conversation with Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) in his apartment.
  • "Where is My Mind" recorded by Maxence Cyrin (2009). Plays over the closing scene in the episode, in which Tyrell (Martin Wallström) forces Elliot (Rami Malek) to take him to fsociety's headquarters.

Origin of the Title:

  • In computing, mirroring is publishing an exact copy of a data file or a link to an identical copy of a file.
  • In the context of the episode is referring to the fact that Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) is in reality just a copy of Elliot (Rami Malek) subconsciousness.
  • The extension: .qt is a Quicktime file, developed for use by Apple computers.

In the opening flashback scene, Elliot (Rami Malek)'s father (Christian Slater) is reading the newspaper and asks whether or not he can take Elliot to go see Pulp Fiction (1994) in theaters. Later on in the episode while on the train platform when Angela asks Elliot if he is ok, Elliot responds "I'm pretty fucking far from ok". This is the same line spoken by Ving Rhames' character Marsellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction.

This episode ends with an instrumental version of "Where Is My Mind?" by Pixies as the soundtrack to the final scene. This song was previously used in the ending of Fight Club (1999), which also has a plot point centered around creating economic equilibrium through anarchy.

In this episode it's revealed that Mr. Robot (Christian Slater)'s real name is Edward Alderson, it is written on his tombstone.

In the episode 9, where Elliot (Rami Malek) finds out that he and Mr.Robot (Christian Slater) are the same person, the episode ends with a cover of "Where is my mind" which is the song that plays when the movie Fight Club (1999) ends, which is the inspiration to Elliot's situation.

In the Opening scene Mr. Robot says "Pulp Fiction? Never heard of it." Pulp Fiction (1994) was written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, who also wrote the screenplay for True Romance (1993) which starred Christian Slater.

My goodness this show is making me crazy .. so happily insanely crazy .. last episode boom "it's your father" this episode KaaBoom "it's all been you!! you are the one who started it all".. you know that moment of "Edward Norton" "Brad Pitt" criss-cross in "Fight Club" !! for a minute i felt that here.

In this episode the whole thrill/Action/Drama/Mystery blend together to present a surprise after another.

The writers seem like don't get enough of plotting many secrets right from the first episode and revealing them one by one till it all blows up in the 9th episode..

and i can't believe that this episode is still not the finale of the show ,, if this was a finale i'd surely rate it as one of the best finales i'v seen on TV ... but wait it is not !! so imagine how the finally will go !!

now with the evil Swedish suit guy team up with "Mr.Robot" project :D things are gonna get so much fun and i can't wait to see the next surprise to come .

This Episode was just another Masterpiece of Confusion. If you thought the last episode would blow you mind, this is another step to participating the madness of the protagonist.

In the last episode we got all answers. At least it seemed like that - Elliots father didn't die, his half family seemed to be involved into fscociety as an act of freeing and saving the World from Evil Corp. The suspicion that Mr Robot and the whole fsociety thing cannot be real becoming more and more unlikely. Everything made sense somehow, it was like the solution of the puzzle, the way out of Elliots personal maze.

But this episode was the complete opposite of all the things above. All answered questions are open again. The combination of a Fight-Club like plot twist and a Sixth Sense like view on Mr Robot confuses more and more. We are in the middle of craziness without noticing the way to it. All the speculations has been compromised on the way to this episode and now they are all real.

This episode was insane. It's the sort of episode that makes it UNBEARABLE to watch week to week. I want to watch the next episode right now! It threw everything into question, and yet answered so much.

First of all, I loved the opening scene. It made excellent use of time lapse technology fpr a truly memorable ending to the scene. It was also our first real flashback. Plus, it contains an awesome mention of my favourite movie of all time. I don't really like the kid they have as young Elliot, though.

Then, things start barrelling along at quite a pace. Everyone is unhinged in this episode; Gideon's whole corporation is falling apart, Tyrell is losing his job, his wife, his life, Elliot is questioning everything he thinks he knows, and things are starting to fall apart for Angela too.

***SPOILER SECTION***

It turns out that it was the twist from Fight Club all along. When I first thought about the possibility, I thought it would be really cool with the way they've set it up, but at the same time it would be disappointing since the show's already quite similar to Fight Club. However, they did it in a way that is ultimately very different.

This explains a lot, such as Mr. Robot's erratic behaviour. Part of the reason that I love that opening scene so much is that the twist makes you realize that it's the only time we'll ever get to see the real Mr. Robot, making that scene even more incredibly sad.

However, it does definitely open up some plot holes. For example; when Elliot is in withdrawal and Mr. Robot helps him to get drugs in episode 4, the guard talks to Mr. Robot and Elliot separately, telling one to stay and the other to go in. Also, Someone had to have rescued him when things went south; he was in no state to leave of his own accord, and I seriously doubt that the other hackers saved him, since they left before he made the decision to do that. Maybe the whole thing was a hallicination? That would be kind of lame. Hopefully this will be adressed at some point.

There's a common element for both Elliot and Tyrell this time, both of them are steadily crumbling apart. These are two people who, in some way need to be in control, yet they are gradually changing as things unravel against their will. Without spoiling much, Elliot discovers fundamental flaw of himself after the last episode. For a usually quiet man, he has become quite volatile as he tries to cope with the revelation.

The episode takes a tour on the city and surroundings with gloomier tone, visiting his memorable places and hearing his personal confessions on the past. It's all done in darker shade and away from gadgetry, a more down to earth approach in contrast with recurring high tech theme. Rami Malek gives an emotional performance of the character that is nearly dysfunctional.

Meanwhile, Tyrell's mistake turns into a snow ball, practically ruining his life. The air of composure around him is gone, instead he's shown a more desperate aggression. We've seen him dishing out assault, verbal or physical, yet it's how he takes the punishment that will make him into equal polar opposite of Elliot. Darlene and Angela join up for a few brief moments. They might not be as engaging as Elliot, but they still give a decent chemistry and serve well as anchors.

With finale closing in, it's fascinating to see whether this peculiar version of beautiful mind executes his plan perfectly or falls apart and self-destructs.

this is a show I loved from the get go. a highly intelligent socially awkward sociopath, yes please. but it couldn't stop at sociopath now, could it!

the show gets out of its way to introduce you to Mr. Robot which was a cool character that I wanted to know more about, but not like this.

I felt that in the last two episodes Sam Esmail just decided come up with the most shocking twist but that was after he wrote the first 7 episodes. I wouldn't mind the twist if it made sense. but it does not at all!

the writer took inspiration from Fight Club but he didn't watch that movie I think. that movie adds up. when you watch it again, it makes sense. here, however, it does not. no one is that crazy and smart as the same time to imagine a father having a conversation with a sister that he doesn't know she's his daughter because he forgot she's his sister and they have a conversation together the 3 of them and the rest of the Fsociety at one point, at another, he's inside a building while still in van giving instructions to himself and the group on both ends. are you following? thought so.

this is truly the most disappointing twist I've seen in a long time. it reminded me of M. Night Shaymalan descending into garbage halfway through The Village somehow.

I was compelled to write my first review ever because this episode is just that good. It is stylish and mind-bending, and its homage to Fight Club is flawless; the cover of Where Is My Mind that plays as Tyrell looks upon Elliot's hideout and learns of his exploits basically smacks viewers in the face, making the show's similarities to Fight Club painfully obvious. I enjoyed the pain, though. I wonder whether the song foreshadows that their relationship will come to resemble Jack's--or Joe's, if you happen to be a Palahniuk snob--relationship with Marla, but without all the sport copulating, of course.

I've read some reviews that express disappointment that Elliot is Mr. Robot, but I was overjoyed to learn this--as well as anxious to discover whether the other members of fsociety actually exist, aside from Darlene, who simply must exist (right?). If I wasn't hooked before, I am now.
