Television Suits

Last two episodes have been boring but I thought Trevor's speech to Mike was quite good and convincing. It wouldn't be the worst if he really quits as a lawyer and goes to work somewhere else, that way the "Mike's secret" storyline can be buried once and for all as well.
 
I think I've forgotten something but why couldn't he have just gone to law school earlier on when he was an associate? Done it part-time like Rachel or something.

It would've exposed that he had been practicing without a law degree, so he would have been disbarred/gone to jail anyway. Think Rachel is supposed to be a paralegal/summer intern not a full associate.
 
Caught up to Ep8 … See what you mean: the Mike thing will never really get anyone anywhere and it's getting to be tenuous now … 12 million people in NY and one chick he slept with is now fronting cases at Pearson Specter and still assuming every lawyer she meets is him tough call … by episode 11 Donna will be back!
 
Great episode. Intriguing ending IMO...

Any guesses to who turned in Mike? I think it could be Robert Zane

That EP was so bad it made me laugh several times :lol:

Yeah, let two people who look like they are 30-40 years old have a fight because one is leaving home :wenger:

That dialogue between Donna and the therapist was great comedy, only they they made the actors look serious.

The stuff happening at the very end makes for a great cliffhanger and some drama, but I doubt they'll find a decent way to keep going from there. It would've been a great ending for the show as a whole though.

I found Mike's haircut as a youngster the most absurd thing :D

Well if we look at what happened in the last few EPs there are only a couple of people who would make sense
a) his ex had a change of heart - would be bad writing
b) one of the Zane's, trying to protect their daughter - not that plausible imho, since him getting caught could hurt her too legally and definitely emotionally, I think the Bunk would've given Mike the choice to walk away if it was him
c) Hardman or one of his friends, we saw Solov getting some envelopes, maybe one contained proof about Mike, showing him that the firm was doomed either way - seems plausible. Exposing him earlier would've damaged the firm they were trying to take over, so they had a reason to hold on to the information, but now that they lost they have the freedom to pull out the dagger.
d) the priest - not that likely, since mike using the confession to protect himself and all that crying and stuff
e) Trevor/Jenny got jelly - seems possible, but that would be extremely bad writing

I think it's probably going to be (C). They never explained what Hardman had over Solov, but if he somehow found out Mike was a fraud and then showed Solov that (and that Jessica knew), it would explain why Solov was so keen to get rid of her.

On the other hand, Hardman could have just started telling everyone, but I think he wanted the opportunity to take the firm intact, rather than have it break up over the Mike affair.

Yeh the most plausible explanation is that somehow Hardman found out and used it as a revenge attack for losing the takeover ruse. My only gripe with that is it'll obviously mean next series is the legal battle to keep Mike out of jail and I don't want another season oh Hardman as the chief antagonist.

I think it'll all be resolved this season. There's still six episodes to go.

Why would he though? It's between Mike and the authorities now[.

I have a better theory though. Those guys weren't cops but male strippers dragging him off to his bachelor party
 
Stop using spoiler tags!!

That was pretty crap, the flashback scenes were shit which is usually something this show gets right.

I'm guessing it's Hardman/Solof who've found out about Mike and turned him in.
 
I think potato head could have slipped that information to save his sister... and its a typical resource used in the show. So i wouldn't be surprised.

make believe Louis is finally friend with everybody, just do some stupid shit and he will be enemy again for the whole season. they have being doing that since season 2.

fecking hell imagine that :lol: That would be a right twat of a move.

I'm done with this show if that happens.
 
It just hit me how fecking difficult it would be for him to get out of this mess. I mean - they are now going to look into him and shit. There is no way Mike/Mike's lawyers will be able to prove that he went to Harvard when there's that much spotlight on him. Given how no one at Harvard would recognize him and stuff.

Interesting to see how he'll inevitably get out of this mess.

Didn't he implicate himself though when he became name partner?

That's my biggest problem with the cliffhanger (aside from being bored by the threat of exposure being used every other EP. I just can't see them turn this around in a plausible way.

Yeah, he'd be royally fecked if it went to trial. I have a feeling though that it's all a big ruse and that it has nothing to do with the fact he didn't go to Harvard. If it is because of that, the writers will have worked themselves into a tiny corner.

It's probably for a different fraud that he's done at some point in the show. It'll be a bit of a middle finger to the viewers but can't imagine what else they'll do.

Edit: yeah I changed my mind from earlier.
 
I liked the episode not going to lie, Some of the flashbacks were questionable but hey.

Going to be interesting to see where they go with this angle now. Could Harvey set up a new company with Mike working there in another role? (That's if he isn't in jail of course)
 
I assume what's going to happen is, now that Harvey's resigned, the next six episodes will be him representing Mike to get him off. Meanwhile Jessica and Louis will (yawn) fight vs Hardman and Jack. Everything will work out perfectly ok for season six with Mike and Harvey somehow being back at the firm.
 
The haircuts were absolutely terrible and the flashbacks weren't on par with the ones we usually see in the series, seemed a tad rushed.

I think an interesting twist would be Rachel doing him in because she didn't want to marry him and was looking for a way out even before the confession.
