Buffistas

Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

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

I wasn't quite with Parker's freakout over leaving the body

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.

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

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.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Yeah, that bugged. It made Elliot look incompetent and dumb. If it was cut and he was just lying, is Parker someone he really needs to hide the truth of their situation from (if it were actually cut)? Could the rope have been sabotaged (and I'd still expect the break to look differently than it had if someone had nicked it) ahead of time hoping it would fail? As is, did anyone know what Parker and Elliot were setting off to do that early on?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Even without knowing anything about filing for patents, that was a thoroughly annoying episode of Suits. I'm gonna give it another chance next week because I did like the pilot, but it's on notice.
