    shouldn't donna be in for more punishment then just losing her job?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,996 ✭✭✭Duck Soup


    Am I the only one that has a suspicion that Donna didn't really shred the document? (a) It's way out of character and she's smart enough to know it causes a lot more problems than it solves, and (b) If she didn't shred the document - and produces it before the trial - then she has a way in to get her job back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,533 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Probably a good bet..... we never saw her shred it (just a few attempts!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,996 ✭✭✭Duck Soup


    shouldn't donna be in for more punishment then just losing her job?

    She might well be - which is why she's engaged an attorney and was pleading the fifth in the mock trail. That's if she shredded the document.

    Have to agree with the above, best episode of the series for sure!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,983 ✭✭✭✭expectationlost


    so all these dramatics are to trap hartman into something


  • Registered Users Posts: 579 ✭✭✭Kilkenny14


    I finally caught up with Suits, only yo find I have to wait two weeks for the flashback episode. At least Donna returned looking as good as always!

    Every site I look at (plus that youtube clip) says the next episode is next week (August 9th).

    i thought it said 2 weeks, must have been think of White Collar and Covert Affairs, watched all of them around the same time and their on the same channel so i just assumed all their shows would take a break together,

    my bad, but arent ye happy:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,084 ✭✭✭✭Kirby


    Dunno. I like the show I just wish they would stay within the realm of reality a bit more. No firm would conduct a mock trial like that. And we have had several. No room full of adults would have let Louis wade into Donna like that. I know it's just a conduit for some good story telling and compelling scenes for the viewer but it just takes me out of the show. It's too hammy.

    Suspension of disbelief can only go so far. More law suits please. Less fake trials. A smidge more Damages and a smidge less Ally McBeal. kThxBye.

    I'm sure law firms do practice mock trials, in order to test the viability of their argument. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mock_trial#Practical_Mock_Trials


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,084 ✭✭✭✭Kirby


    Yes, I know they do. But they look nothing like that. :)

    louis had to channel the firms opponent, someone who isnt gonna take it easy on any of them especially donna, and i would be highly surprised if law firms didnt do mock trials, sus out different scenarios that can pop up during a trial, push people around, cause if you cant handle your friends tearing you apart around friends then whats gonna happen in a courtroom full of people,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,084 ✭✭✭✭Kirby


    You are missing the point I'm making.

    Law firms do conduct mock situations but they don't look like that. And no court is going to entertain a lawyer screaming a line of questioning at a witness about whether or not they love a defendant involving an evidence tampering trial. The judge would tell them to cop on to themselves and any lawyer would just embarrass themselves.

    Yes, it's tv and all that but it just made me cringe a bit. I like the show so there is no need to white knight me here. I just think occassionally it get's too high school schmaltzy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,734 ✭✭✭Newaglish


    One thing that does bother me is that in the real world, you wouldn't be charging around into people's offices and making settlement deals in the space of a few days. You'd usually send a letter to the opposition's solicitors asking for information, and then wait a week or two for them to formulate a response. Then you'd probably send them another letter.

    Then I remember that would make a really shitty TV show

    US law firms work a whole lot faster than Solicitors' offices.

    i would not be impressed if i was paying a guy $1000 dollars an hour for my case to be dragged out for years, and that's probably low for top firms,

    i didn't realize so many people on boards had passed the BAR and worked for sullivan and cromwell:D

    Brilliant episode from last night - now begs the question wwmd? Rachel or Jenny? Jenny was stunning in last nights show, but Rachel is such a stunner...i dont think I could choose!

    And Donna is going to make a comeback. Is Daniel in a bit of a bother? Saw the preview for next week show too and its going to be a blast


  • Registered Users Posts: 202 ✭✭big dar


    Is there only ten episodes in this series ? Feel a serious cliffhanger coming for series finale


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,207 ✭✭✭miralize


    Yeah, hoping that doesn't happen. I'm just kinda pissed we might have to wait another year for one of the best shows on TV right now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 579 ✭✭✭Kilkenny14


    Only 2 episodes left and it keeps getting better. I wonder how the tin-opener and three dozen thumbtacks work together?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,996 ✭✭✭Duck Soup


    The Donna thing is weird. Does Harvey get Donna back because Harvey says he wants her back and they indulge him? (A bit like Mike Ross being kept on despite being rumbled because Harvey said he wanted him kept on.)

    The cliffhanger is obviously the board vote and that'll be resolved at the start of season 3. I suppose we're looking at who we'd be distraught not to come back for the third season and who we wouldn't miss. Every show throws a few characters under the bus to keep things ticking along - think of The Sopranos characters' body count.

    The next two show will give us a better idea of who's up for the boot. Funnily, I couldn't care less if both Jessica and Daniel lost out. Jenny and her dope-dealing ex-boyfriend, I'd be happy never to see again.

    In fact, as a huge fan of the show, I shouldn't say this, but I really find myself irritated by the Mike Ross background interests. Let him play footsie with Rachel and visit his Gran occasionally, after that who cares? That's screen-time that could be much better spent on Donna filing paperwork, flossing her teeth or doing just about anything.

    According to Wikipedia, this is a 16 episode season, not 10.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Suits_episodes#Season_2:_2012

    After a bit of digging around, I find that there are two more episodes - 16th & 23rd August 2012 - with the 23rd August one being the 'summer finale'.

    Then it goes on a break before coming back in January 2013 with the final 6 episodes of Season 2.

    How can the USA network not be already selling "You just got Litt up" t-shirts?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,015 ✭✭✭✭Mc Love


    Litt reminds me of the strange guy in Ally McBeal. I think if it comes to a cliffhanger - Jessica could possibly go I'd imagine


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,707 ✭✭✭CR 7


    Can't help thinking they gave away a bit too much with the preview of next week. Louis will surely finally get his big promotion too, after doing all the work for Harvey.

    There's 16 episodes this season, think it's just taking a break for a few weeks after episode 10.

    Step 1: Jessica loses the vote and is forced out.
    Step 2: Morena Baccarin's character on 'Homeland' gets killed off.
    Step 3: Castle gets cancelled.
    Step 4: Firefly gets brought back

    yeah they done that last season with white collar and covert affairs, air 10 eps in the summer and keep another 6 for later, they both dropped 25% of their summer viewership, and AFAIK USA are doing the same this season with suits being added to the rotation,

    and if i remember right they aired CA aired in november and finnished in december then WC started airing its back six in january, i dunno if their gonna stagger all 3 shows this year of what,

    I know from working in advertising that summer is just a plum lousy time for viewership. Ad spend tanks and there are countless repeats. It's very little to do with the shows themselves - pretty much all of them take a summer dip in numbers - more to do with people being out of the house more, on holidays etc.

    Conversely, January's a great time to capture viewers. It's cold, dark and people are broke after Christmas.

    The other thing I discovered when trying to piece the season airing dates together is that Zoe Lawford [the jury expert, brought in for the mock trial) is played by Gabriel Macht's real-life wife, Jacinda Barrett. So now you know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,397 ✭✭✭✭FreudianSlippers


    Something about "Harvey losing his way" reminds me of the end of last season when we were all chatting about what would happen if Harvey left Pearson Hardman. Could Jessica lose and a rival firm is set up?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,871 ✭✭✭Conor108


    I had no idea there were webisodes



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Aha! So that's what Mike was referencing when he was talking about Louis saying "Litt Up" into a dictaphone




    God, I love Donna.

    These shorts are actually excellent -



  • Registered Users Posts: 159 ✭✭thegoodgirl


    Just got into Suits this summer and it is instantly one of our favorites. I could watch it all day. Harvey is just so frickin cool.

    I knew he'd have to get Donna back eventually so it'll be good to see how he does it seeing as she has been totally humiliated in the office, it'll take some convincing.

    Can’t believe there splitting it up and we have to wait until Jan to see the 6 eps.

    It'll be some cliff hanger.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,015 ✭✭✭✭Mc Love


    Those shorts are nearly than the show itself


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,996 ✭✭✭Duck Soup


    Bubbling up into a dinger of a summer finale. It all seems to hinge on who Lewis is (a) more resentful of and (b) more scared of.

    Apart from that, Donna is the only character on TV that can start a riot just by walking out of a lift.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,283 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I'm sure if you took a vote on who had the best entrance between Lewis with his moves or Donna with her jiggle and her wiggle, Donna would easily win. :D

    Downer about Mike's granny. Though when he and Rachel were looking at that house, I thought something would happen and Mike and Rachel could possibly move in together.

    If Rachel got into law school, does that mean she'd have to leave the firm/show? If so, then that has got to be grounds for us to sue the show. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,015 ✭✭✭✭Mc Love


    Yeah I had a funny feeling that something was going to happen with the apartment story. Either Mike loses his job because of the takeover or his gran dies!

    Rachel and Donna were smoking in the episode!! Donna's entrance was unreal!

    Bingo!....the way she was dictating where the bed would go and the rug, girl had the house furnished in her head! ;)

    This granny death is a vehicle for Mike to shack up with Rachel, my money is on Rachel loses her appartment and Mike offers to let her move in, pretty obvious he'll tell her the truth soon, more bonding to obvious hookup time! ;)

    Btw...don't get the Donna love, she's not THAT hot!, Rachel is much hotter....she has that Olivia Munn look down ;)

    id say it was a way to get mike living like a proper lawyer, instead of him living in a slum, i thought it was funny he bought his grandmother a gaff 10 times bigger than his own, but you could see it coming, especially when he cancelled due to work, which no doubt will play on him that he didn't get to see her and show her the place because of work, preview
    wasn't he smoking a pipe in next weeks preview

    i can see something happening that mike will get found out and the firm will have to protect their ass and find some excuse to send mike to harvard, with Rachael of course:D, and then come back in either season 3 or 4 with both of them being lawyers and itll be 2 or 3 years later,

    I'm the same boat. Prefer Rachel, but Donna is Donna and if she didn't act the way she does, I don't think she would be as popular. I mean her entrance in this episode is one example of why she's liked, combined with personality.

    Think of it as Donna being the intentionally sexy, slightly older woman while Rachel is the younger, unintentionally sexy woman.

    So in short, I prefer Rachel but definitely would not turn Donna down, as I'm sure that opportunity will arise soon. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,795 ✭✭✭FortuneChip


    I think I'd take Rachel & Donna... Together, in a bathtub of skittles, listening to the Inception soundtrack


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    What an entrance by Donna!

    Yep, Mike and Rachel are going to move in together, you could see it as she planned out the room and then the long glances as she stood by the window


    I'm raging I saw that promo for next week at the end about the vote
    Waaaaaaaaaaay too much given away :mad:
