I wasn't quite with Parker's freakout over leaving the body, or the conversation that followed --I admit I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. But, I absolutely adored Elliot's spontaneous hug in light of the push-off at the beginning. Just so random, and like he thought he was doing a nice thing. Spencer is a cat who only likes to sit in your lap when he feels like it. Not when you pick him up and make him do it.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
they were actually filming on Mt. Hood in a freaking blizzard.
Jesus fucking Christ, that's pretty stupid and dangerous. I was wondering how they shot that, because it did look pretty real, but damn. Stupid. People die on Mt. Hood. My brother actually does some ice climbing, and he's cancelled climbs (on Mt. Hood, among others) because of weather conditions and avalanche warnings. Anyway. Sorry. Rant over. I'm sure they had emergency procedures in place and beacons and all that.
The story about them jumping out the window is still funny, though.
I also liked this episode of WC. The prom picture, the fight cutting a little too close to the bone, and Peter and Neal teaming up against Moz for his own good. Moz and El are so fun together. I'm so glad to get a chance to really appreciate Tiffani Thiessen.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It's sort of in character for her, though, to have freakouts over random things, triggers she doesn't even know she has. It's sort of in line for the backstory they gave her. Amoral, to a degree, unbothered by most conventions, straight-line objectivity. And then, random freakout over the unexpected.
The jumping out the window story is utterly charming.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think Suits may have just lost me in the first five minutes of the second ep, with the patent application thing.
Not that any of it has been all that realistic, but that whole part is JUST SO WRONG

OMG. They just called the Patent Office a judicial body
I think I am out.

And now you know how I felt when Eliot announced "The rope just snapped". That... doesn't happen. Not out of nowhere.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wasn't it cut?

He didn't say cut: he said snapped. If it were cut, it would be really really obvious.

Because books.
In the video at the end, though, Eric Stolz says his killer cut it. So Parker and Eliot thought it snapped, but it was explained that it wasn't.

But the end they held up looked really cut. I'd assumed that it was way convenient and that the Russian had done it. And that when Stoltz announced his had been too, that it was more evidence in that direction.
Easy solution is to just ask him.
eta: asked. We'll see if he gets that far down the questions. There are a ton welcoming back.
