once they break up I see that jealousy kicking in and Harvey could very well be right when she tries to use it against him | ||

And Harvey's jokes about bad teeth and other jibes were pretty cringe-worthy as well, seems like the writers have a hardon for hating the British. Other than that a really good episode. Yeah but do you think anyone in america acts remotely like lewis? | ||

I have some trouble judging who's right and who's wrong in all of this (in the relational sense, if I may say so). I'll just be completely biased and just root for Harvey and Louis :D Jessica is kind of getting on my nerves recently. She seems to indeed have some trust/authority issues. | ||

I'd say it's quite the opposite... she is the authority, and everyone except for Harvey has been pointing out how she isn't doing a good job controlling him... so she's trying to get him back on a leash. Harvey really had to lose this battle so that the merger would work for the good of the firm, even if Jessica looks like she's abusing her power a bit. Harvey needed to be humbled a bit; he's too good at winning, but he's not Jessica's superior (or even equal). As much as I love Harvey, he's not the boss. | ||

I dunno man, when the boss blackmails the associate with serious jail time to get the partner 'on a leash' that seems like there are some serious issues... | ||

She is like a Greek god ready to strike down with a lightning bolt to whoever wants to defile her, that huge eye stare of her's is what Torres shines at putting fears in her enemies' eyes. You can't blame her. | ||

I don't think the character has anything to do with a general portrayal of the British in the show. They've put down the bossman Brit down as a pretty cool guy but they just wanted someone from the other firm to be a nice opponent for Lewis. Considering the firm is British; the guy is British and he's as big as a twat/douche as Lewis is for the subplot to have some meaning. Harvey was making stereotypical jokes yes, but that doesn't say much about the writers prejudices, it's just character writing because they've written Harvey to be someone that hates everyone around that British firm so he's gonna make lame jokes about what they are.

You can't blame her. Gina Torres is the exact same character as in Firefly except that she's now not second in command ;D. | ||

Yeah well that's what I meant when I said I found trouble judging this kind of things :p I see how Jessica could be in the right and Harvey seem too cocky. And I fear that she might try to discard him in the future. | ||

In fact the entire reason why this show is attractive is because of its dramatic situations where a character is put into an unthinkable surrounding and he/she have to maneuver out of the snare. So if that ever comes in the near/distant future, by all means, they should proceed with it. Harvey Specter is superman, he ALWAYS finds a way out and that's why we love that about him. | ||

Is that really any different than the 2 ethical violations Harvey did to even get that far? Also not really sure I like the edited version of the show, specifically the part where they cut out the fact that Darby knew Harvey was lieing about Scotty. | ||

"I don't want anyone else's name on the door, just mine, or my life is worthless, and I'll destroy whatever I need to do it." I burst out laughing when Mike gets all all super serious, ready to bare his soul and his darkest secrets, and the words he actually utters are: "I never went to Harvard." It makes for good drama but it'd nice to have a character on the show with some perspective, even if all they do is look bemused at everyone around them for a second. "He out-mudded me." | ||

 its sad that we have to wait another 6months for another episode thou  </3I don't think it was a racist review of the english? it was just an exaggeration of the truth which made it more comical I don't understand why some people are taking such offense lol.. Harvey deserves his name on the door imo, Jessica is just gold digger :O | ||

That's being a little over sensitive. There are two English characters and one of them is a bit ridiculous, you can't conclude to racism. Plus, all English are not known for queuing and politeness, although most are. You have prejudices (if that's the correct english term) assuming that all the English are polite. As to Harvey's jokes, doesn't he often diminish people around him using clever responses and witty phrases? This is a clear case of taking things personally. | ||
