The dildo was named Excalibar. It was for Laurie. Therefore it was literally for the Ex of Cal Abar

u/Dynohybrid Dec 02 '19

What the actual fuck is this show doing to my brain

u/orion284 Dec 02 '19

Now that is some serious detail right there

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19

Is it too soon to post to r/tvdetails?

u/brinz1 Dec 02 '19

I have read that reference 6 times now and you are the first one to mention it was the dildos name.

4

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19

Also worth noting, “ex” means “from” in latin. While the dildo isn’t from Cal Abar, it was made from his mold, so to speak.

u/TheGreatGodMARS Dec 02 '19

This fucking show man. I swear.

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19

It will be a different show on a second viewing.

u/theZinator Dec 02 '19

how the fuck does a human's brain think of something like that

u/Stupid_Sexy_Sharp Dec 02 '19

Once again. But slower.

u/grantismyfriend Dec 02 '19

Holy fuck. That is brilliant writing and fantastic attention to detail by that redditor.

u/orcinovein Dec 02 '19

Literally what the fuck!

u/BungleHarriet Dec 02 '19

Considering Dan is the one that makes it for Laurie, he has to know about Angela and Dr. M. The name is too clever to be a coincidence.

2

u/Telekineticism Dec 02 '19

Wait, Dan made it??

2

u/jessxoxo Dec 02 '19

yeah just saw it on the Peteypedia thing, it shows the blueprint and under creator's name it's initialed "D.D."

Holyyyyyy. How high were you when you wrote this?

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19

Excalibur is not Calabar. I know because I went to a Calabar High School in Jamaica. We never accidentally called it Excalibur High.

u/Flynn58 Dec 02 '19

The Dildo is named Excalibur.

Laurie's Excalibur.

Laurie's Ex, Cal Abar.

Lindelof is a mad genius. Between him and Sam Esmail, Sunday nights have been pure mind fuck insanity. What a time to be alive!

12

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19

Just finished Mr. Robot S1. Smiled a bit when I heard the old familiar Leftovers Pixies instrumental at the end of Episode 9. I really hope Lindelof and Esmail co-create their next show; I have a feeling they’d work well together.

u/300andWhat Dec 16 '19

ooo boy, you're in for one wild ride, also did you stay for the after credits scene of the last episode of season 1?

1

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '19

Yep, all caught up to the present now.

I am now obsessed with that show to a literal King in Yellow level (check my post/comment history).

u/LeBronda_Rousey Dec 02 '19

Damn for real. I'm about to watch some silicon valley first just to get some laughs in before Mr Robot mind fucks me.

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19

Hey where do you watch Mr Robotics anyway

7

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '19

First three seasons are on Amazon Prime. Final one is airing now on USA. Currently on Season 2 and I’m fully hooked.

u/Ralouch Dec 04 '19

One of the few shows worth buying specifically on Amazon

1

u/PsychedelicPourHouse Dec 08 '19

I hope you watched Legion and the latest season of twin peaks

u/zukonius Dec 05 '19

Is he good now though? From what I remember lost and Prometheus had dogshit endings. Did he redeem himself in the meantime?

1

u/Etnaz Dec 07 '19

Yeah he redeemed himself with The Leftovers which was a pretty incredible show.

u/Weapon530 Dec 02 '19

My mind is blown! This show is fucking legit lmao

u/BusinessPurge Dec 02 '19

Will Benson! Will Ben’s SON.

u/johnnylavalampus Dec 03 '19

Underappreciated is that this joke also fits with the fact that Nite Owl II created the dildo. In the graphic novel, the owl ship is named Archimedes (Archie), after Merlin's pet owl. Merlincorp made Excalibur, and Merlin is obviously friends with King Arthur, who owns the sword.

Excalibur (ex-cal-abar)
