725396, I just wonder how they could reign in where we've gone

The world got much much weirder; like in the background we went from us in 2015 internet hacktivism in season 1 to effectively a dystopic near future...we kinda already went sci fi in a way.

Obviously time travel/parallel universes...etc...is gonna be one hell of a ship to land if they actually go there(and trust me, I don't necessarily wanna go there...there are plenty of shows that mine those themes).

But I don't know if they can go back to hacking..they gonna have to get weirder and im there with them. While the Elliot stuff was slacking (perhaps intentionally so) I still found season 2 endlessly entertaining so im giving em the benefit of doubt.
