Not that any of it has been all that realistic, but that whole part is JUST SO WRONG
And now you know how I felt when Eliot announced "The rope just snapped". That... doesn't happen. Not out of nowhere.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

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.

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?

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.

it actually didn't bother me, because I lived through the Ally McBeal and The Practice years. I had to learn that if I wanted to watch the characters, I had to let the law go.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
But they called the PTO a judicial body! That's schoolhouse rock basic!
(and yes, I know I should let this go)

I know, but certainly not the worst. I remember in The Practice, two roommates who were opposing counsel would both work on the case at the dining table and discuss it.
But, I get it.
