Suits - USA Network *Spoilers*

Liked the fact they seem to be re booting and will be interesting to see mike working with the clinic lads. If it focus' on the clinic and growing their own firm and not internal bickering and random people trying to close the firm it could be good again... maybe have more of them v Zane in courtrooms etc

I actually thought the finale was quite good; the first really interesting episode in ages and, now that they can put this Mike B.S., behind them, they can get back to the COTW format that made this show interesting in the first place.

Was in downtown Toronto the other day and seen them shooting for the new season. 

Was pretty cool to see.

The show is filmed in Toronto and not New York if anybody didn't know.

Well, it's back, considering that I watched it at 5 in the morning I don't think it's fair to say anything (or spoil it) but when

Harvey, Lewis and Donna were in the bathroom and Harvey goes "you sort it our I've some sh1t to deal with" and walks into the bathroom was a laugh out moment for me, I don't know if it was intentional or not.

People... just been announced Suits season 7..premiere on Netflix UK today!!!
:):):)

I don't know where this dramatic music to a non story is coming from? It happened last season as well and it's annoying.

Why the fuss about

Louis being a d*ck to the associates? He always was cruel to them why the worRyan about getting suEd now? Because he'seven more cutting than before? Nonsense! It's a non story.

As for Donna Omg this partnership thing is a stupid move. She was good in her subordinate role. The last two series they've tried to morph her into the saviour of the firm. BUT SHE'S DONE NO LEGAL WORK TO SAVE THE FIRM! Here's what she is...a good HR manager!

Sorry it's all in black. Not sure what we're allowed post yet?

I did enjoy the banter with Harvey and Mike though! And the porsche of course!

Didn't he walk out and leave them in there?

Not unless there is a double entrance/exit (oooh matron) to the bathroom.

Another thing about Suits this season. How many ways are they going to contrive the future royal being in a loving relationship with Mike and never kissing.

In this episode, Mike scampily darts around Rachael "deliberately" not kissing her as a tease. Riiight. So, we've gone from her thigh wrapped around Mike sucking his face off (which probably helped somewhat to attract fair prince) to not even a peck on the cheek. :pac:

Season 7 - kiss watch :P

Mr E

I enjoyed that episode. Nice to see some positive character development for Donna (after digging her into a hole in season 6). Her as a partner will be much more interesting than 'The Donna' crap from last season.

Nice!! Thanks for the heads up. My American cousins are starting to complain that I’m not as in touch as I used to be. All down to more Netflix to watch.

Can anyone explain where Donna would get a half a million dollars?

I think Donna was paid significantly more than a normal secretary, with her salary significantly topped up by Harvey.

Plus a bank may lend based on her being a partner.

Oh, and most importantly... it's TV.

Zascar

Exactly, it's tv. If it were real life Donna would spend more than her monthly salary on clothes alone!

Is Donna known as another name at night? :eek:

Exclamation Marc

I know it's TV but it has to have some grounding in reality. One minute they're preaching about the firms reputation should they be dropped and the next they're making a corporate secretary into a senior partner.

I get that they need a powerful female lead but the show has tanked since Jessica left and this ridiculous thread that within a week Donna is now one of the most powerful people in terms of legal practices in NY is ludicrous.

But you weren't perturbed by a leading NY law firm taking on a non qualified acting as a lawyer?

I have to agree with this. I don't know why they've pushed Donna so far up the ladder of late. She's a good character. But making her a senior partner is just ridiculous.

And yes, it's just TV but pulling out a cheque for half a million dollars out of thin air when she's a secretary and Scottie was begging to waive the buy in because she couldn't afford it (IIRC) is just pushing the Donna agenda to silly extremes.

Also, aren't there only two lawyers, Harvey and Louis? Is Mike a lawyer now? I can't quite remember what magic they pulled last season. But if there are only two lawyers what do they need so many associates?

It's such a shame because the banter between Mike and Harvey is still there. The potential for Donna is still there. But it's like they got a new set of writers that are trying to completely rewrite the show. I'm all for a plot shake up, but there is something missing.

Maybe as the new episodes progress it will all make more sense.

In fairness, that was one partner trying to pull the wool over his firms eyes for this wonderfully talented prospect. Whilst I don't think it would happen, it's not comparable to making a secretary a senior partner, that's public corporate suicide. And in the same episode as 'showing the corporate world that Harvey Spector can publicly take the reigns from Jessica', this move makes no sense even if you suspend disbelief.

At least Mike was qualified to be a lawyer in ability and arguably all but college qualification, Donna simply isn't qualified whatsoever and to put her as Mike's superior and Louis' equal just rankles as panic scriptwriting.

How is Rachel over all the associates when she is only a 2nd year law student herself?

Positive Discrimination promotion. She's black, female and young. Tick, tick, tick.

It's almost like the writers are using poetic licence or something. :cool:

She's boning a Prince

It's clear they have 4 main characters and Lewis, they'll get Lewis get back with the Ex and then have the 4 main characters be happy out to finish the show's run.

Donna is on over 100 grand a year based on the hints they've given over the years. She may also have family wealth and a wardrobe budget.

I don't find 500 grand all that hard to believe. Did anyone check that claim she made about something percent of top law firm partners not being lawyers?

4 out of the 9 law firms not having lawyers as CEOs? Nope, didn't check

It was COOs. Regardless of if it's true or not, none of those COOs went from being a secretary to COO.

That time Harvey called to Donna's poky little NY flat? Yeah, not the style someone with $500k cash knocking about would live in. It makes Mike's and Rachael's place look like a palace...

Zero Boardroom experience, tick.
Secretary's salary, tick.
No ability to bring high end clients to the firm, tick.

At this stage we're just seeing the writers coasting along until the series is cancelled.
