 USA's best dressed show is back for its 3rd season  Tuesday July 17th at 10/9cThe Cast:  Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) Headstrong and talented Harvey is a senior partner at Pearson  Mike Ross (Patrick J Adams) An aspiring law student who was expelled for cheating Mike bounced around running scams taking exams for other people. After accidentally running in to Harvey while he was reviewing applicants for a new associate Mike impressed him with his eidetic memory and understanding of the law. Mike quickly proved himself as a brilliant lawyer but his empathy and naivete sometimes get the better of him with clients.  Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres) As a black female managing partner of a prestigious law firm "strong willed" does not even begin to describe Jessica Pearson. Extremely ruthless Jessica will do anything to win a case. She mentored Harvey, bringing him up through the ranks and getting him in to Harvard.  Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman) Another senior partner at the firm Louis Litt oversees the first year associates and is Harvey's rival. Louis had to recently prove his loyalty seeing as he backed the losing side in the recent civil war within the firm. An egomaniac, Louis is one of the most fun characters on the show.  Rachel Zane (Meghan Markle) A paralegal at the firm Rachel has had an on again/off again relationship with Mike. The daughter of a high powered attorney Rachel recently had her application for Harvard Law denied and her dreams of a future attorney at the firm shattered. At the end of the 2nd season Mike confessed to Rachel that he wasn't actually a lawyer.  Donna Paulsen (Sarah Raffety) BEST CHARACTER Donna is Harvey's secretary and totally has a crush on him. She's worked with Harvey since his time at the DA's office and is willing to do anything to protect him, including (as we saw in season 2) covering up for him when she thought he had committed a crime. Season 2 summary (taken from Wikipedia) quote:Founder Daniel Hardman (David Costabile) returns to the firm, and Jessica and Harvey fear he wishes to return to his former position as managing partner. Because of this, Jessica allows Mike to continue working, despite discovering his secret. Meanwhile, Jenny confronts Mike about his feelings for Rachel, and when Mike hesitates in his response, Jenny breaks up with him. At the firm, Travis Tanner (Eric Close) accuses Harvey of burying evidence and is determined to have Harvey disbarred. Donna finds the missing document and realizes she had signed in the document and then lost it; she panics and destroys the document. She is fired by Jessica shortly after. Hardman is able to blackmail Tanner into dropping Harvey's disbarment from the settlement, and Hardman's decision to settle or Jessica's decision to go to trial is put to vote. With the partners' evenly split, Harvey, who has the deciding vote, and realizing the trial will jeopardize everyone at the firm, votes to settle, unwittingly siding with Hardman over Jessica so the firm can move past the lawsuit. This causes Hardman to call a partner vote and challenge Jessica for the position as managing partner. Soon after, Hardman promotes Louis to senior partner, and both Harvey and Jessica fail to definitively win Louis' support. Hardman becomes managing partner, but it is short lived as Mike and Harvey discover that Hardman forged and planted the document that Harvey and Donna supposedly buried. He is voted out of the firm, and Jessica regains the managing partner position. Immediately after his grandmother's death, Mike tries to start a relationship with Rachel, but she is reluctant. Mike then begins a romantic entanglement with his, now married, first love and childhood friend Tess (Elisabeth Hower) who was in town for the funeral. Rachel, who has now decided that she was willing to have a relationship with Mike, discovers them together. Mike ends the entanglement. While I don't have an episode description the first episode back is titled "The Arrangement" Also looks like we're getting another Game of Thrones alum as Michelle Fairley (Catelyn Stark) is joining the cast, presumably as part of Darby's UK firm.

I take issue with this statement.   I have a whole folder of these. Don't test me. e: Another thing the OP missed was the uncomfortably long file room sex scene that occurred after Mike admitted to Rachel that he never attended Harvard. So for at least the first ten minutes of season 3, they will be in a relationship. Baronash fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Jul 2, 2013 |

Ha ha you just got Litt up Seriously I might kill to marry Donna, but Lewis is just the best character. Please someone needs to post some shots of Lewis as different presidents of the USA. 15 days to do a rewatch, excellent. Hoping the season does something good/new/characterization/send him to England for the whole season with Mike. Harvey to remain coolest person on TV though!

muscles like this? posted:A man with flexible morals, Harvey worked his way up from the mail room muscles like this? posted:Donna is Harvey's secretary and totally has a crush on him. I completely disagree with these two statements. Harvey has unquestionable morals, he just doesn't let emotion sway them back and forth, which bites him in the rear end when someone appeals to pity in a desperate situation. Donna doesn't have a crush on Harvey, she just respects him immensely and is comfortable around him, and I'm completely expecting this season to bring a love interest in for her to prove that point (especially after the dust settled from last season). What's everyone's go-to theory on the merger? Are we going to be stuck for 6 episodes wondering when we'll actually see cases as opposed to people being pushed around thanks to paperwork? It'll suck if there's an episode where Mike and Rachel have a falling out because "work is forcing him" to do something he doesn't like. That's already been beaten to death in a much better way.

The problem with the show is when the writers decide to tread water and turn it into a ho-hum procedural of office politics that literally no one gives a poo poo about. It doesn't help that Varys is literally a series regular. The characters, actors, and dialogue when the writers decide to put effort into it are more or less unparallelled.

This is my favorite show on Television and I watch pretty much every show currently on. Donna is amazing. She's funny and beautiful and Sarah really plays her incredibly. She keeps Harvey grounded and she's a lot of fun on screen. But Louis is the best character.

New episode tonight: "The Arrangement" New partner Darby assigns Harvey to a high-stakes case. Elsewhere Mike tries to make things right with Harvey and deal with the fallout from his revelation to Rachel. Also if you're recording making sure to take into account that it runs almost 10 minutes over.
