After the completion of the first season, I started to think of the show differently. At first, I believed the civil disobedience to be resistance against the unfair banking and credit systems that run our society. The show's creator expressed his motivations being from the Arab Spring. I'm starting to see the parallels when looking backwards at season 1. Elliot appears to represent the varied nature of the masses. Not all who want change are willing to commit such extreme acts. To me, Elliot represents that by being both the most revolutionary and quite neutral. In a way, it gives the show's creator a moral pass by showing Elliot as both the instigator of bad things and as a passenger just watching it happen. From a moral point of view, Elliot is not really a good guy, but it is hard to hate someone who is so deeply broken. I'm starting to agree with you. From a personal point of view, I'm starting to tire of this neutral zone that is entered by Elliot's inability to take a moral stand.
