You shouldn’t feel pity anyway. I mean I guess because he can be likable but he chose to enter the job in the first place knowing the potential repercussions.

They’re big boys, they know the consequences for getting found out. Pity is wasted on those who know that.

462

Well guys, you got what you wanted. Time for Mike to do things elsewhere.

463

Either it won’t last and Mike will become a lawyer again, or he will do some investment/financial stuff involving the firm. I hope for latter to happen since that would change the show’s dynamic to some degree.

I just don’t want the formula to become stale because the majority of every episode being about keeping Mike’s secret or interoffice betrayals. I want change, I want see to some different cases being brought up, and I don’t ever want to become bored to the point I actually stop watching.

464

Well it’s simply an inevitability that eventually something will happen to make the show stale. The only way to ever avoid that is to finish the show in a timely fashion. And usually a good 3-4 seasons is ideal.

But the thing is…while yes, seeing Mike constantly in danger of being found out gets old really fast…seeing Mike with absolutely NO tension in his life makes things even more boring.

Basically, I like the show but I know that they really have only one more season of decent interest left in them before things fall apart creatively. If the USA showrunners are smart, they put a lot of resources into this next season and treat it like the final season. I don’t want to see this become another show that runs too long and suffers heavily for it.

465

While a lot of it has been Mike’s secret and interoffice betrayals, they’ve also set the stage for a lot of stuff. People who hold grudges in Tanner, Harvey’s old boss from the DA (forgot his name), this new black guy (though he’s not REALLY that formidable, just a pain), that former partner Jessica was talking to in the last episode, etc. IMO, they have enough ammo to last 2 more seasons with mini arcs, filler eps, and you know they’ll do one or two more flashback eps.

The company’s past is far from spotless and there are a lot of people holding grudges. Plenty of old enemies and definitely new ones to pop up.

Side note: I really have no idea why Katrina is there other than being Louis’ lapdog. Louis is has been likeable for awhile. She doesn’t add anything to the show or the dynamics of the characters.

466

Suits future aside, I don’t know what Katrina brings to the table. I’m glad she’s not another love interest for Mike, but she would make for a great rival to him instead (which I thought was the initial reason for her being). The showrunners seem to be stuck on using her sparsely for whatever loose reason they feel like bringing up.

Her and Rachel are getting off to a better foot though, maybe we’ll see more development for her on that end. Pair her with everyone else and see what works best.

It was a season finale!? Sure didn’t feel that way.

469

Honestly it felt more like a midseason finale than anything.

It’s like the two halves of the season got switched.

470

great episode. did feel like a bit of a mid season ender, but i liked that it went out with a fizz, and not a super bang. we have been overloaded with hits to the face this entire season. time for suits to get back to some “fun in the sun”. i expect before mike ross leaves, we will get a couple fun episodes of his last moments as a lawyer. i wonder what mike is going to do with his new found power and money. he is making almost mid 100k now, and hes about to be a millionaire at his new job. i wonder if theyre going to downplay his new riches, or put a hault to him at his new job before it even gets started.

honestly, i could see jessica stepping in soon to let mike go anyways, if he didnt leave. mike is too much heat, even for his own self. lets see if mike is too good for his own good again at his new job. donna was looking good this episode too. im surprised harvey told scottie about mike, that is going to bite him in the ass later somehow, and was fairly unecessary unless she stays. i wouldnt have told her shit, scottie can always kick rocks. i disapprove of harvey being head over heels for this broad, its embarrassing.

471

My guess is that Jonathon Sidwell ends up being underhanded and shady thus inevitably pushing Mike back to Harve. (although technically he never left). Sidwell isn’t a confidant, just a partner, and he only cares about profit and prestige in the end.

Something about Donna this episode made her look even more attractive than usual.

472

Donna has always been super fuckable/balls-deepable/Iwoodn’tevenpullout

Or, it could just be me and my thing for redheads. She’s always been the hottest on the show for me shrug.

473

It’s coming back in June so it’s more of an extended break rather than a true season finale. Donna is the best.

474

Agreed. Donna is hottest. Rachel has her moments, but Donna has the attitude, looks, and personality.

I think it’s funny how they are all treading but never really stepping on their ethical lines, but are fine with hiring a fraud. Jessica especially forces her “I stay within the confines of the law” even though everything Mike does is illegal.

475

Define “fine with it”. Most people who know about this just came to terms with it because in the end it made Harvey a better person.

476

Coming back soon, and it seems we’re going to get Mike vs Harvey for real, legal battle edition.

478

Damn, Sidwell is a hardass.

479

What a fucking episode. I literally could rewatch it right now back to back and still be hype. This is going to be one hell of a fucking season. Suits is the god damn truth. (passes out from hype)

480

Before I get into the nitty gritty, I gotta say this first- Mike deserves to be cockslapped for trying to claim his secretary is better looking than Hot Donna. Initially, I was looking at Rachel in season 1, but now she might as well be invisible with Donna around.

I knew Sidwell was going to cause ethical problems for Mike, but I didn’t expect the issue mounting in the season premiere. I know he will be the season’s mid-final boss though.

The moment triple P’s brother said " I always heard you were good…" to Jessica, I already knew he was banging her. Speaking of which, Laurence Fishburne is a lucky bastard, that body of hers is rockin’. Dem hips don’t lie.

The season has started strong, and I’m glad that it didn’t devolve into another Mike v. Harvey issue. Let’s start looking outward.
