risk understatement, ther television series ast or present — is like Robot.” e complexity and unictability of the USA work series’ first season ed it many fans, and abody Award plus two en Globes for best ision drama and coChristian Slater. It re-
boots both literally and figuratively as Season 2 begins with two episodes and a live (in the East) after-show Wednesday, July 13, with Rami Malek returning as technologically immersed loner Elliot ... who has become the main nemesis of a “change the world”-bent hacker team and its figurehead, known as Mr. Robot and played by Slater. “I think the whole show has been about Elliot’s
emotional journey,” says creator and executive producer Sam Esmail, “and I really wanted to focus on that (in the first season) and make it less about the plot. And so for me, the headline for Season 2 is, how do these two guys reconcile? How does Elliot reconcile the fact that he’s just become aware that he’s seeing this fantasy (of Slater’s character, who evidently exists only in his
mind)? That’s the struggle that is going to kind of take over in Season 2.” As for other creative twists that frequently have stunned “Mr. Robot” followers, Esmail maintains, “I’m not interested in ‘gotcha’ moments or trying to shock the audience — even though it happens. But I think it really happens because, first of all, Rami brilliantly plays Elliot in a way that draws you into his

psyche, so you’re learning it with him. As long as that’s organic, as long as that feels real, then I think the twists will come from there.” Movie veteran Slater made several earlier runs at television series (“My Own Worst Enemy,” “Mind Games,” “Breaking In”), and he recalls his initial take on “Mr. Robot” vividly: “I read the pilot, and I had questions about it. I thought,
‘Wow. This is very interesting,’ and it certainly was subject matter that I hadn’t really seen tackled in this way before. And I thought the Mr. Robot character was very mysterious, and I remember, I said to my agent, ‘Do you think that guy is really there?’ And my agent was like, ‘Oh, come on. They would never do that. The show is called ”Mr. Robot.“ It would be crazy.’ ”

With an eye on alleviating a losing proposition, the Hereford City Commission is taking a closer look at usage and rental rates for the pool at Josserand Aquatic Center Park. During the work session prior to their June 20 meeting, commissioners opened discussion on the topic after being presented a proposal for rate increases. The proposal shows minor bumps in daily rates, as well as increases in some membership plans and the elimination of others. However, the increase of most importance to commissioners and city officials revolved around parties at the pool. “We’re losing money on parties,” Hereford City Manager Rick Hanna said. “We don’t really want to and are not HANNA interested in [altering] rates for daily users. We want to go up on party rates.” The largest proposed changes to the rate structure surround parties. Currently offering six different summer party options and four for winter, the smallest group in each (up to 25 people) would be eliminated and the minimum party option would be up to 50 people. With current plans requiring payment on a per-person basis, revision calls for a flat rate – $150 for up to 50 people, $175 for 51-75, $225 for 76-100, $250 for 101-125 and $300 for 126-150 people during summer. Winter rates would be slightly lower and only encompass four groups – $125 for up to 50, $150 for 51-75 and $175 for 76-100. PLEASE SEE CITY | 3A
