Just watched Suits--I am loving the law company chess match this program is. Luckily, probably, I don't know what's realistic and what's not (although, thankfully, they did lampshade Jessica's outfits, so my suspicions there were borne out), so I can go along with every scenario they set up--even if the factual issues are wrong, the emotions are engaging.
And, seriously--great move by Daniel there at the end--I don't believe that Harvey did the wrong thing, but he pretty much gave Daniel the ammo he required, even more than if there hadn't been both the holdout and the subject. The only way he couldn't have called for that vote would have been if she'd gotten them to decide to go trial. Unfortunately, what Harvey needs internally is at odds with what Jessica needs, while Harvey is the
person
Jessica needs to most.
Rifts upon rifts at crosspurposes.
And, seeing Gina Torres play a decisive, incisive lawyer at trial (even mock) is pretty hella cool.
I'm liking Suits more and more all the time.
great move by Daniel there at the end
I was a bit disappointed that, given how well everyone else played everyone else this episode, that Harvey didn't see that one coming. I did.
I especially likes the use of Donna this episode. I love the actress and thought she did a great job as the less polished/confident 'civilian.' She has many more freckles outside the office!
While I hated Lewis last season...by design, of course...I'm really enjoying him now. He's odious, but that character has excellent internal consistency.
The mock trial was appropriately squirmy, but I was disappointed by the "
Do you love Harvey?
" derivative of
A Few Good Men
. Primarily because I don't think it can go anywhere satisfying and, therefore, will probably be dropped.
I saw the actor playing Daniel Hartman play the EXACT same character on another cable show. And, by exact, I mean same expression, inflections, wardrobe, dialog. I seriously had to check to see if it was a cross-over.
I wonder how he feels about being being typecast as such a limited-use character.

Cosigned.
I laughed at the dress lampshade, but I actually look forward to her wardrobe every week. It's a highlight of the show!
I am PARALYZED with love for Leverage right now. "Two good ol' boys behind the wheel, chasing down bad guys in Lucille"
I want the chase music for a ring tone.
YES.
Oh my god, the Men in Black outfits.
Willie Riker! With Jonathan Frakes directing, of course.
I've been dancing around the kitchen singing "Two good ol' boys behind the wheel, chasing down bad guys in Lucille"!
I would have liked it better if there had been an admission on Kanack(?)s part. Maybe if the con had been the aliens wanting the jet engine and so he confessed that it wasn't his idea. I don't buy that he suddenly fell apart so spectacularly after one night, and that the buyer of the engine just suddenly discounted all of the information about Oren's breakdown just because Kanack had a meltdown.
