Wait...I had something for this...
SUITS might finally make Mike interesting! Did they hire a decent writer. They do banter well but characters like Rachel, Mike and douche mate from season 1 have dragged suits down oh and Harold.

We just Need Harvey, Donna, Jessica, Lewis and this new Mike and I am happy. Mike knows all Harveys moves but since Mike cares about people and there feelings Harvey can never predict him!

I feel like I just read a facebook post; wouldn't this just make Mike MORE predictable?

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.

Rachel is never going to pass the Bechdel test. The writers don't seem to know what they want to do with the character aside from the gratuitous shots that bunch of other female actresses get as well.

It seems you dont know what the Bechdel test actually is because Rachel passes it. She talks to another woman (e.g. Donna, Jessica) and not only about men (e.g. making the deal with Jessica about her education).

That doesn't change the fact that she is the weakest character on the show after she no longer functions as Luis' helper and "friend". The ballet episode was one of her strongest.

I feel like The Bechdel test should be less of an "it happened once, therefore it passes" like you say and more of a "this happens at greater than a 2:1 ratio of passing versus not passing" for each character.

Rachel doesn't pass given her overall involvement in the show. But I guess the two times she talks to someone and doesn't mention how she's stressed out by her man she passes.

I think it was Season 2 that started a little too on the nose with that Gotye song that has the line "You're a fraud and you know it."

New episode tonight: "Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner"
A takeover battle pits Harvey and Mike against one another and the situation is only complicated further by Mike's relationship with Rachel. Elsewhere, Louis partners with recent SEC defector Jeff Malonein.

Everything's about Rachel in Rachel's little world. I think the strained jealous little dramas is really stupid between Mike and Rachel. Right now you could remove Rachel from the show and the show would be a little bit better.

edit: I love Litt, though. :allears:

edit2: I like the new Mallone guy. I hope he stays.

I feel kind of cheated that we didn't get Louis' head photoshopped onto a dragon out of that. Like, the show owes us that now.

I'm kind of worried that they might write Katrina out since she got cast as the lead of Syfy Channel's 12 Monkeys TV series.

I really wish they'd stop being all over the place with Harvey's character. It's like they pick and choose when he grows a conscience based on when it's interesting for the plot.

I am the sexiest poster in the world!
I like that Harvey has steadily become a worse person as the show's gone on. At the start he's beating people mostly straight up, now everyone's point is that he'd be doing sleazier things than his existing sleazy things if he wasn't up against Mike.

I'm starting to think that Mike got out just in time, and I'm looking forward to his basically inevitable victory over Harvey. Although, if he lost, got fired, and had to come work for Harvey again that'd be pretty rad too.

Seriously though Mike, if you're offered $70 million in pure profit to walk away from a deal, how do you not take that? And in what world is that kind of deal for a few weeks work a "double" and not a "home run"?
