They could've just as easily given Louis more screentime by actually having him be competent at his job like they constantly say he is instead of bringing Hunky McLawyer to humiliate him for no reason other than to gently caress with Jessica.

This was really the first time Louis went into ragemode and not pouty angry/angsty angry. I really liked it - you can tell this poo poo is building up to something.

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. An investment banking firm where they know they can get poo poo loads more money if they win.

Holyshoot posted:An investment banking firm where they know they can get poo poo loads more money if they win. Well, actually the show portrayed it like Mike was stupid/"a good guy" refusing the money to walk away. How the money would be valued in "the real world" depends on the size of the investment fund he works for, how much time he spend on the deal and how much capital he used but evaluating this deal by real world standards is stupid in my opinion because the show-investment "cases" are even more absurd than the law cases. But the most absurd thing about the last episode for me was that Mike's "secret" still hangs over his head as something that will endanger him. I believed that his whole reasoning for changing trades from lawyer to investment banker last season was that his past would be no big deal and he therefore can take on a more prominent role. It's not like "mean guy who banged Rachel" is the only rival he will ever face that might get the idea to send a PI.

He used his ability last episode when he went to that brussels sprouts place where Harvey goes to blackmail bankers. Sure it's far less impressive but my guess is that the writers meant it to be Mike's "power".

Imagine a situation where there's a foreign witness in a court case. Mike can literally come back the next day fluent and not need a translator. Imagine the opposition side has an expert in some field, Mike just needs to get a university reading list for that subject and within a week he's also an expert.

Like, you're REALLY not understanding his 'superpower' here. It works in the law field because all that is is groups of people trying to one up each other based on poo poo that happened in the past - "precedent". It wouldn't work all that well in other places. You're not going to learn to speak and understand a loving language even remotely fluently because you can remember vocabulary. Like everything, it just takes time. Just because you can remember the pictures in a book doesn't mean you're an expert in the book's field. You're very confused. He was doing well in the law and SAT tests because those are pretty straight recall based and rote. Drifter fucked around with this message at 17:15 on Jul 1, 2014 |

It works in the law field because all that is is groups of people trying to one up each other based on poo poo that happened in the past - "precedent". I thought Mike's superpower is that he immediately memorizes, retains forever, and magically integrates information. "Integrate" means some kind of West/Lexis/Nexis/whatever style indexing such as that at the heart of legal research and just about everything not requiring muscle memory. So, given that Mike can integrate all knowledge, it follows that he should be able to readily integrate vocabulary, grammar, slang, and cultural references. Maybe he can't speak and listen in any language after a few minutes, but he should be able to read and write it. Fluency should follow within a few days, perhaps after scanning some Chomsky. Now - returning to the show, Harvey can only win by coming up with a whole new set of tactics. Kind of like Commander Riker after the Battle of Wolf 359. I predict that Harvey will trigger Mike's martyrdom subroutines and then watch the explosion from a safe distance.

It works in the law field because all that is is groups of people trying to one up each other based on poo poo that happened in the past - "precedent". That's how it's been retconned but in season one he can read something once and never forget it. He can remember new details about things by just conjuring up the memory in his head - he remembers Louis' nephew's name from a picture hanging in the office at Harvard, he reads and memorises the notes that Cameron Dennis dropped on the floor, he gets kicked out for memorising and distributing answers to a mathematics test - not a recall based subject, he recites verbatim any line from any book he's ever read. He could easily use his skills to become an expert in every subject that would be useful in a case, and I have no doubt it would take him a really short time to learn any language he wants as long as he had a dictionary for that language. I'm pretty sure I've heard of a guy who claimed an 'eidetic memory' who used to read dictionaries and learn languages like that. If he can read a foreign language novel, he'll probably be fluent within a few days. The same Hollywood eidetic memory that the guy from Limitless has.

Limitless was a completely different thing. And you're very very wrong. You're wrong about what an eidetic memory entails, as well. There is only a super loose correlation between 'intelligence' and memory. Mike could make a really good doctor, as well, perhaps, due to his ability to recall. I don't understand when you say he got kicked out of memorizing the maths answers - not a recall subject. If he is distributing answers to questions very clearly it's a recall thing. And maybe he's good at math, or maybe he was able to remember the questions and look up the answers online before distributing the answers or a slew of any other things. He's not magic, he's clearly not Rain Man; he just has perfect recall. It's super useful, but it doesn't make him this weird Animal Man-esque character you are pretending he is. Perfect recall doesn't make you able to process and utilize all that information in real time any faster. At least not that he's demonstrated in the entirety of the show up until now. Maybe he can cross-reference related bit of information the same way we can remember a recipe after thinking about it for a second, but me knowing a recipe and how to use a knife (  mad chopping skills) doesn't make me Gordon freaking Ramsay.

Drifter posted:Limitless was a completely different thing. And you're very very wrong. But that's exactly what he's able to do, he can recall things instantly and he understands it. He's not just a perfect memory, he's intelligent too. Passing the bar isn't just recall anyway, he needs to be able to interpret situations in creative ways - divergent intelligence. He could be a passable Gordon Ramsey if he watched enough YouTube videos and read enough recipe books. It really is magic, you're downplaying what someone with his abilities could actually achieve if they existed.

Back this week after skipping last. "Leveraged" Mike initiates a hostile takeover of Gillis Industries while Harvey and Louis work feverishly against his efforts. Elsewhere Jessica and Malone meet with Sean Cahill who has the weird of the SEC behind him in bringing down the firm.
