Drifter posted:I like to think Rachel just lets herself down. On the bright side, Rachel finally realized that Mike did something dumb. Too bad she ended up apologizing for Mike being dumb. The particular dumbness was Mike making a promise to her (wait for verdict), breaking it (rear end in a top hat!), but breaking it was proper (OMG, let's gently caress), but it was actually wrong (wedding bell time). It was nice to have some logical and strategic thinking thanks to Jessica, and.... Amanda Schull put in an appearance! Yum. paradoxically, I'm thankful that Katrina left the screen before the writers screwed her up too. Can't wait for 12 monkeys. There's a chance that someone who knows a little law is back to consulting for the show. I was groaning at the dumbness as Harvey says he'll stop Mike's deal, but then Mike tells him he has no choice because it is Mike's deal to take. Yes! Finally some legal reasoning! It was also nice watching the DA slap Harvey around by telling him that he's poo poo for using evidence of murder as a bargaining chit. Yeah - Harvey came out of all this looking like total crap. It's a little sad to see Harvey's character arc. From unbeatable litigator because he's simply the best to guy that wins by threatening everyone. For example, when he wanted to undo Mike's deal the DA said the deal was negotiated by competent counsel. Who? Mike? Competent Harvey should have jumped on that. Oddly, if Harvey had been in the room while Mike agreed to the deal in spite of Harvey's tantrum, the deal would be solid. Saddest of all, the DVR is still set to record new episodes. I still don't believe the law offices were empty. The staff was around the corner with a cake or something. Maybe. If it really was empty, no Rachel? Was she there? I don't recall.

Okay what if Season 6 just forgets about Mike, Rachel's in law school and has no time, and it's just Jessica + Harvey + Louis + Donna being a small scrappy team trying to rebuild?

USA would never go for it because they'd still have to pay both of them to keep them on the show for a potential season 7. If it were a confirmed final season I could see them letting both actors go, but since it isn't Mike and Rachel will both be back.

Two year time skip would have been interesting. Maybe Mike works on getting a legit law degree in jail, firm is in shambles, and so on. Instead they'll find some sneaky way to get Mike out of jail early. My guess is he helps the DA with a case and gets time off for it.

Is there any chance that Mike would ever get admitted to the bar given his record? They made a pretty big deal about the fact that he won't be able to ever practice law again, so it would seem rather comical that he can just take a correspondence course during his time in prison and come out as a lawyer. He could potentially work as some kind of super paralegal though, where he gets another lawyer to do the official lawyering stuff.

Yeah he's super done as a lawyer, unless the show just totally says gently caress it. But considering that we're apparently not getting the whole jailhouse lawyer thing next season it seems like they're going another direction with it. I do wonder what they're going to do with Pearson/Specter/Litt though. Like the firm is super hosed, but I don't know if the show will really follow through on that. I mean it would be comical if they managed to ever get a client again considering how apparently Mike being a fraud suddenly became the world's worst kept secret despite the fact that no one had any reason to doubt him at all. Then again the show's also kind of ignored the fact that the firm has gone through some insanely quick changes in management without really blinking an eye so maybe they'll just pretend that this is a temporary setback.

GaussianCopula posted:Is there any chance that Mike would ever get admitted to the bar given his record? Sure, this is Suits.... Mike uses his super power to run a hedge fund and is destroying the competition. The whole time, Mike keeps saying he'd rather be a lawyer helping the poor. The other hedge fund guys gather up. Soon, the Governor pardons Mike, the Chief Justice calls Mike into the halls of the NY Supreme Court and swears him into the bar. tada! Meanwhile, Mike promised Rachel that he'll protect their money and her entire family's money that's in the hedge fund. MikeMike decides to become Mr. Pro Bono and represent the down trodden for free. Can he tell Rachel his new big secret? Can he tell Rachel that he's a lawyer? Who can he tell? Will they keep his secret? Episode after episode, Mike pretends to be an investor but he's really prosecuting cases, using his pretend position as a ruse for leverage and forcing settlements. Every episode a clever maneuver to keep his secret identity: Mike, Esq.

Was surprised the show actually went all-in at the end and had Mike actually go to jail (for now) and PSL employees bounce. I was half-expecting Jessica, Louis and Donna to find the rest of the employees congregated somewhere in the offices showing support and solidarity. When they weren't there I thought maybe they were at the jail to give Mike a farewell. Thankfully, none of that happened.

Pearson, Specter, Litt stand in their atrium wondering what to do. In walks Harvey's half sister, none other than Rhonda Rousey (celebrity athlete cameo). She needs representation in some bizarre contract/sponsorship/escort deal that only Mike could understand. Mike, through some mystery, joins the Muslim brotherhood and thereby cements his status as non-racist. He sits with his brothers and spends a week hate staring across the prison yard at Forstman. Forstman smirks back and adjusts his junk. A lot. Meanwhile, Forstman has bought out the company bargaining for Rousey's services and offers her a fantastic deal but only if she fires Pearson Specter Litt. Harvey gets pissed off and gets up in Rousey's face telling her that he won't let her take the deal. Rousey drops Harvey with an arm bar and Jessica kicks him in the skull.

Mike hides his missing teeth. Mike immediately understands Rousey's strange negotiation. They hatch plan. Next, Harvey talks to Forstman.

Forstman smirks, opens his hand, and reveals Harvey's missing testicle. Harvey threatens that Forstman will never leave prison unless he amends a clause in Rousey's conract. Forstman smirks and spins the ball seeing if it will balance on one end like a real egg. Harvey blows up and is dragged from the room, broken arm forgotten.

That's the second best Suits fanfiction I've read. The best was the combined ravings of lots of goons (myself definitely included) when in a thread about making up T.V. show names and premises I came up with Suits, the leverage-style good guy criminal show, where each of the four leads represented a playing card suit, and everyone just kind of started throwing out goofy ideas for that show. Spade was the leader/idea guy, Heart was the charmer/talker woman, Club was the fighter dude, and Diamond was the sneaky lady thief. They would up with a giant hidden base, and the episode titles were all card game terms, like types of games or poker hands, things like that. For instance, "Full House" would have them pulling off a job at a crowded party, "The Turn" has them betrayed by a former ally, "Solitaire" would focus on what each of them do on their own during a day off, "Shoot the Moon" has them pulling off a truly impossible job, or maybe just has them using the moon in a scheme somehow, etc. There were actually a lot of fun ideas tossed around, if you have archives you should be able to track it down. All of it was a moot point since this was well after Suits the lawyer show was an established thing, and of course I have no hollywood connections to allow me to steal the ideas of others and combine them with a few of my own, but a good time was had by all. It'd be in TVIV, I can't remember how the thread title started but I know it had something like "AKA Suits thread" in it somewhere, and the thread was generally about coming up with T.V. show titles and one-line pitches. Just for fun, I'll try to come up with playing card-based titles for each episode this season. The last episode of the previous season is easy, it'd be "Fold." For the premiere I suppose... "Go Fish" with Mike being the new fish in jail. Maybe I'll think of a better one after it airs.

I give them credit for surprising me on how Mike's Cellmate was betraying him. I was expecting some weird thing of the guy working with the prison to get Mike in trouble for using a cell phone, set up the prison authority as just a bunch of assholes screwing with him, but instead we got Morgan Freeman from Shawshank-level prison connections guy out to screw Mike and people he loves to get back at Harvey. I mean, the odds of this being the case and shaking down this way are super low, but that's never stopped Suits plots before. I'm calling it now, there's no way the last lines of the show aren't a movie quote exchange between Mike and Harvey, literally every character is obsessed with quoting movies and it's hilarious. That's always been there, but when you got that back and forth between Mike and the random prison psych guy now it's just way off the deep end. Also, Louis being rich as hell was super obvious, but still fun to see. Harvey and Jessica admiring each others finances after getting high and eating some chinese food is kind of a dick move during Mike's first night in prison. As much of a jerk and idiot as Mike can be, they really don't deserve his dumb self-sacrifice at all.

So I saw there was another season of this show and the only way I can explain what happened is that the show started out a dudes show, smart dude, smokes weed, mercinary dude, is merciless and then as time went on and USA figured women were into the show, they slowly tailored it more and more to be "for women" and its ll loving whiny and relationshippy (holy poo poo is that where that awful shipping word comes from?) and awful now. gently caress, I cant believe I thought this show was good during the first season or two because it seems awful now... something awful.

The show is really bad now. The three of them smoking pot was funny but that's about it. The premise of the show was that Mike was supposedly some genius. Except Mike is one of the dumbest human beings on the planet. He spills his life story and gives his girlfriend's number to a complete stranger he meets in prison. This minutes after he somehow thought the white collar prison he was going to was going to be like Shawshank. And instead of the show being about lawyers doing lawyer poo poo, it's about them getting bent out of shape by slights even a teenager wouldn't care about. Every single character is unlikable.

The show has been dangling between average and garbage ever since they dropped the episodic format of season 1 in the first episode of season 2 for overarching dramatic plot-lines which go nowhere. Go back and watch that poo poo like I did, there's a complete tonal shift between season 1 and 2.

Second episode was alright... I'm getting really tired of the following type of conversation though. Character A brings forward a lawsuit or some sort of threat. Character B retorts back that it won't work, blah blah. Character A reveals another tidbit that renders B's retort meaningless. Character B *sad/serious face* *cut to commercial*
