Poor Louis, rattled and trolled by Mike, and then eviscerated by Harvey :smith:

Mike has a point though, nobody else actually cares about what's going on other than just numbers to tick up.

Now Rachel is in love with a person who she changed into being good.

And Louis is retiring. Haha. I wonder what out of context conversation that was taken from to put into the 'next week' teaser.

I want Louis to see a shrink, realize he's out of his element and start hanging out with low-income D&D nerds so that he has a stable, fulfilling personal life and gets his mojo and emotional stability back.

We've sen Louis do his thing for three seasons now...How much more breaking point does he need?

I mean, unless his house burns down killing his newly purchased Arabian long haired show kitten and ashing his designer mud, and Harvard Law revokes his degree for reasons, I really don't see what else there is.

The thought that Louis might get his day to one-up pretty much everyone on the show is the only reason I watch Suits anymore. Goodness knows that all the other characters in the show are pretty insufferable. Harvey is obnoxiously cocky and almost never gets truly humbled by anyone other than Donna, who is more deus ex machina than character. Mike was never interesting to begin with. The female characters are all very weakly written and Suits probably won't ever pass the Bechdel test. Even Katrina snatched defeat from the jaws of victory once they 180'd her personality into Louis' oddball sidekick. Really, all this has going for it is that almost everyone is incredibly good looking. In conclusion, I hope Louis takes a fat dump on Harvey and Jessica's desks and starts a new firm with Harold completing his Harvey-Mike duo in a legitimately better spinoff series.

I mean I want him to get to the point where he puts his foot down and does something about it and somehow styles on Harvey and/or Mike in a way that actually has consequences for them instead of in a way that's quickly patched up within two episodes

Yeah but the whole investment banker thing, which on other shows would have been resolved already, is sticking around and doesn't look like they're ditching it any time soon to have Mike just rejoin P-S.

This season is my favorite of them all so far. I'm loving how everyone is slowly realizing that Mike is a worthy opponent. The only thing I'm waiting for is somebody to point out that Harvey and Louis are getting their asses kicked because Harvey mentored Mike so well.

They'd probably rather have him working for them than against them. He readily handed Harvey and Louis their asses and they're two of the top three lawyers in the firm. The only one he hasn't beaten was Jessica and she's not involved in the case. Every time Harvey tried to get the upper hand, Mike flipped the script and beat him. It really looks like Harvey has no other way of beating him without resorting to something like hurting or threatening Rachel to get Mike to give up.

I think he made it slightly harder for Harvey, but in the end he shot himself in the head.

Did Litt's actor get fatter since last season or something? It seems like there was more neckpouching going on. Or maybe that was his angry and aggressive pouch display, in order to scare off other, more dominant males?

It's not like he can't just come up with some magic solution that will let him keep his job if that's the direction the show wants to go. Hell, they can even get lazy with it and just have Mike's weirdo boss decide that screwing him over was some badass investment move and give him a promotion. It would be just as goofy as the way they've portrayed the whole company Mike works for.

Painting investment bankers as absolute lunatics might be the only accurate characterization in the entire show.

Take a look at him in the pilot and now. He was pretty skinny in the beginning of the show, and looked kinda lovely. He needs the fat reserves to litt people up, duh.

I've been marathoning this and am now into the middle of season 2 (and I've watched all of season 4 so far on OnDemand -- I don't care about spoilers), and the thing that I'm most surprised to find I enjoy is how....like....law-centric this show is. I feel like I'm actually learning a lot about civil law, especially what it's like, day-to-day, to be a civil lawyer. None of the other courtroom dramas I've seen (which, okay, is not many) have covered the actual nitty-gritty logistics of what it's like to work in a law office in so much detail, and I appreciate that about Suits.

Are there any sites that talk about how accurate the legal stuff on this show is?

I'm also really enjoying the power dyamics in season 2 with Harvey acting as Jessica's rottweiler on a leash relating to Daniel, given how iffy his deference to her has always been. He makes a point of being subservient to her in front of Daniel because he's mostly loyal to her and he hates Daniel that much that he'd never help him, but at the same time Jessica doesn't trust him 100% to remain her #2 and neither can the audience because we know he always has to come out on top. It's such a tense setup and the show-runner was really smart to take the characters in that direction.

Also, anyone who doesn't love Louis has a wind-up clock for a heart.

Heh, I mean you get to see people doing the boring poo poo like filling out paperwork and moving through the steps of a lawsuit, as opposed to L&O-style "lawyers live in a courthouse and single-handedly try every case in the county" glossing over stuff, plus you actually see the staff and associates doing their jobs. I don't know, I like seeing it, don't harsh my mellow. :colbert:
