One of the Mr. Robot stars was stuck in sleep mode when the USA Network drama picked up a half-dozen Emmy nominations earlier this month.

In fact, it was no less than Lead Actor in a Drama nominee Rami Malek who wasn’t awake for the big announcements, the actor confessed to Michael Ausiello at TVLine’s Comic-Con studio presented by ZTE.

They then get to promising answers (at least to some dangling Season 1 threads) and teasing the “badass,” film-like Season 2 finale (even revealing at least one person who is in the very final scene).

Oh, and to be sure, they share their take on the twisty theory making rounds, about what Season 2 is really about. (Skip 3:30-4:15 if you wish to remain speculation-free, as their theory does affect viewing of the episodes.)
