WHAT…A…FUCKING…EPISODE
I thought we were in the clear, and then that last 20 minutes happened. This might be the best season yet. I only say that because i was never a louis fan until this season, and now im like, nooooo, he wasnt ready. Plus i love the tension between louis and his assistant, but mostly that she is ride or die. We had mike ross whose assistant was annoying, but seemed ride or die. Turned out she was just as shitty as we thought she was, and still annoying and condescending. Now we have the true og ride or die assistant, who harvey guaranteed she would make it nowhere, holding it down for the firm.
This is the shortest season so far too. The first season was even 2 more episodes then this one.
Yeah, i expected mike to cave, but damn. I think the show would have been better off with mike and rachel not getting back together, creating another donna x harvey. Mike is taking some heavy heat since he got on the show, with only mild bad behavior from him. Yeah, he was fucking his bestfriends girl, but his bf fucked that up, and who cares, bitches be crazy. Also yeah mike was fucking a married chick, but whatever. Mike was given the greatest job ever for a man in his position, and has risked his freedom more then once, bailed out his friend from thugs, dealt with his grandmas death, dealt with his girlfriend cheating on him with the worst possible person she could choose to, tons of opposition from work, and has generally saved the firms ass more then anything else, regardless of his default badness.
We thought mike finally might get a break with his new job (most of us knew that was gonna fail actually. investment banking? the captains of shady, yeah right). I think suits might be running its course, and not because its bad, but probably scheduling issues, as actors want to venture out and get more roles, while usa isn’t paying that top dollar to keep them on deck for solid full seasons. I wouldnt be shocked if its announced that seasn 5 is the series finale, but maybe its a perfect series that people can do their other shit, but come back and knock out 12 episodes, and keep it moving.
I finally kinda want harvey and donna to have a thing again now. Not a long term thing, but an end season fling, to a next season cool out (on good terms of course), i think would finally end that saga on a good note.
I said this before, but i wasnt ready for the wild ride the writers took me for, but i think season 5 finally should be about getting back to the case by case drama, and less of the big hangover sagas of drama with the firm. Try a season with more case by case, with little drama until the last few episodes to setup season 6. I just think enough is enough. Dead the mike ross harvard shit, end the louis shit, dead the relationship tension, and lets get back to kicking ass, with the largest problem only being the issues with mike ross, and at the end of the day, thats easily dealt with. The only way to authenticate mike ross even more, is too get him a hard copy in the file room of the ex of louis, which quite frankly is a silly issue, but i get it for the sake of the plot and what not.
A fun episode next season where mikes hard file gets slid in there, probably by louis, who has found out mike is a fraud, but for some reason is letting it rock because mike saves his ass in season 4, would be great. Dont make it too serious. Just a fun mission impossible episode with louis and mike, with everyone else off to something new.
Rachel gets too many do overs in this show. It’s time she finally hardens up, loses mike, finishes school, and becomes a junior associate. There is no way rachel isn’t the least popular character on this show now, and for obvious reasons. Its time for her to wrap up the mike saga, and the college saga by next season. MIke and rachel are just annoying to me. They are like mayo on a breakfast bagel. You can do it, but why would you, and its gross.
