  1. I enjoyed the pilot. I have mild CP and a bunch of other disabilities (dysgraphia, fine and gross motor dysfunction, and underdeveloped muscles to name a few) and I liked the portrayal of JJ. I knew a guy in HS who was similar to JJ, but he used a walker with leg braces. Reminded me of him. JJ's AAC was interesting, definitely seems more durable than an iPad. One thing I kept asking the whole episode: Why wasn't the school providing the para? Why did they have to get the woman from a (i'm assuming) private organization? If the school is wealthy enough to have a planetarium, they can spend the 45k on salary + benefits for a para for JJ. I'm wondering how they'll (or if they will) portray some of the other aspects of special education - like an IEP meeting. IEP meetings can be hellish, i'd imagine they'd be rather annoying in a district that greets a student who is wheelchair bound and nonverbal like that. Unless by Minnie Driver's character saying "No more special ed, JJ!" meant he'd no longer have an IEP - but then they wouldn't be able to get him a para through the district. Though if his last district couldn't provide LRE for him, then the old district would've had to have paid for tuition in either a private school of their choice or local public school. But, this super fancy sheltered district probably wouldn't have accepted a student like JJ, they wouldn't want risk their stats, despite not knowing the student.
  2. I think if they do it right, they can maintain it for a few seasons. I think the first two eps back-to-back helped a bit, the first episode wasn't much by itself Tahani is there because she started a charity to detect and disarm land mines, I believe
  3. It was interesting, but i am unsure - I'll give it four episodes.
  4. The hook of the show was good, they just needed to give it a more visible Blue Skies attitude - like making Mike a consultant from the start, or have Mike go to undergrad & law school while working for the firm, then when the secret is discovered, Mike helped so many people that they decided to hide it because reason.
  5. I watch the first few episodes of The Catch, bored me - I normally like the Shonda popcorny shows, too. I really hope that season 6B is okay and that 7 is the final season of Suits, however.
  6. Jeff's actor is busy with Lucifer, so they couldn't have gotten him back They could always have Jessica come back
  7. Gallo was transferred to Danbury because of his informing at the previous prison he was at. He had served time for racketeering - they weren't able to get him on the murder charge because of the recording being out of the chain of custody for 20 minutes.
  8. They ended PoI on a high note, at least. Unlike Suits, which will never end.
  9. Oh no, drinking twice whenever Donna says she's awesome will result in liver failure like 20 minutes into each episode. Harvey doing something illegal: Take a sip. Why? If you take a drink, or if you have to chug for x seconds, you will be blackout drunk at the end of every episode.
  10. I fanwanked it so that they just said Sutter was going to visit Kevin - it'd make sense if he was on the list of approved visitors. Harvey being in there too? Sure. Mike being in there made absolutely no sense.
  11. I wanted Louis revealing his feeling to the designer chick to end with her saying "Oh. Sorry Louis, but I don't think my wife would be okay with this."
  12. If his inmate tells him what he is in for, it means he trusts him. It's building trust between them.
  13. Yeah, the drugging Mike thing was ridiculous. Why not just do something a bit more plausible like "Well, Pearson Specter Litt decided to hold a 'Mike has been gone for 2 weeks' party and they wanted Mike to cut the cake!" or "Let's put Mike in solitary, but release him to the custody of this federal prosecutor and not his lawyer, because that is a stupid idea." Rachel's Innocence Project case will lead to one of a few things: 1. She learns a SECRET about her father's/mothers/Jessica's past. 2. She learns something about Mike's cellmate that she'll be able to tell Mike so he can leverage him to spill the beans. 3. She learns that Columbia is actually Harvard.
  14. Monk season 7 was.... painful. I loved Monk through season 6. 7 was just horrible with the treatment of Disher. 8 was okay, though. I love Psych through the end. Suits is a shaky show for USA - it is between their Blue Skies period and the "sodark" period, where they tried things like Rush and Saisfaction. So Suits has had a bit of a rough go at things. Harvey does need a hobby, though. Have him collect doilies.
  15. Exactly what I was thinking. Also... why didn't Harvey just tell his plan to Cahill from the start - he probably would've agreed that was a good way to get Mike to talk.... since apparently Mike has no willpower and needs to see his fiancee after 2 weeks in prison and acts like he hasn't seen her in years.
  16. Maybe she is going to take it another semester. Though I have a feeling law school tells you the exact courses to take each semester with no flexibility
  17. Don't wish for Harvey to get laid, please. We'll get more angst and probably an awkward Donna plot. Let's have Gretchen and Donna go to law school and get a degree in like half a season because well, that's how this show works - then it is just Louis, Rachel, Jessica, Gretchn, and Donna: Attorneys at Law Then Harvey and Mike go become lawyers on an island somewhere.
  18. They should just have whoever writes the decent Louis be the writer dedicated to Louis scenes. Louis, in his best episodes, is portrayed as an excellent lawyer who netted the firm a whole lot of money, with some eccentricities - like mudding Also, i'd like if they had like 3 episodes that took place over, let's say, 6 months, where it is just Louis, Jessica, Donna, and Rachel rebuilding the firm. They'll have Harvey appear in each episode over Skype, taking a nice vacation or journey to learn about himself, or whatever and Mike will be serving his time in prison. At the end of these three episodes, Harvey is due to come back and Mike is due to be released. The four sit down in a room together and go, "Goddamn shit, Harvey goddamn Specter and his goddamn pet Mike Ross are coming back tomorrow. And look at how well we did while they were gone!" I had to try to capture the Suits dialogue.
  19. I want more of this. It's a guilty pleasure that is a whole lot of fun to watch when I feel horrible on Friday nights. fyi going to have any more shows in the vein of Arranged or Teenage Newlyweds that isn't Married at First Sight start soon? Also, Hailie's parents moving to Utah was a bit creepy, but I chalked it up to "Well, they're Mormon."
  20. Through sheer force of will, Gallo made them appear. That's how much he hates Harvey.
  21. The answer is simple: Boris is a bond supervillain The only thing left was for Hank to stumble in on Boris with a suave British man strapped to a table with a laser slowly moving to kill him, then since it is Royal Pains, the British man starts to have a medical emergency and Hank saves 007. So, I just caught up on the series because I was bored. Before starting the episode, my parents made some predictions, some out there, some not so. 1. They will end up being royalty (Somehow... ended up being partially true) 2. There will be a severe medical catastrophe that only Hank can solve, maybe the start of the zombie apocalypse (Damn, not true) 3. The series will end with a flash forward (Easy one to guess) 4. Evan and Paige will adopt those kids (They have been saying that since the episode those kids were introduced) Also, my version of Boris' story, completely off of my memory: Boris is from a vaguely Bavarian family with super old money, like Rothschild old. Every man in his family has had a DEBILITATING GENETIC CONDITION. So Boris tries to cure it with sharks. It suddenly gets worse, Hank runs some tests and figures out it is poison and not the genetic condition. Boris is relieved. Boris has a child with a Cuban doctor and it turns out BORIS HAS THE CONDITION OH NOES! However, Boris has been funding research into this disease. A lot of people don't like Boris, so he hides in family. People try to kill him a lot, sometimes relatives, sometimes a Russian guy who is his half brother(I think?). One time Boris fakes his death (So they sell off stuff. I think Paige and the guy she works with sold the stuff?). Then in this last season everyone wants Boris' DNA so they can prove he is descended from the Tsars, because they want him to take over Russia. If they want to prove his heritage... why not get some DNA from his son. He probably sees a pediatrician They can just take a diaper
  22. They should just have Mike help the prisoners with appeals using his legal knowledge, no need for drama with a prisoner with a grudge against Harvey, just have someone who is angry at Mike because... I dunno, one of the pro bono cases Mike took is getting retried and the prisoner's family was a part of it. Then just have the Warden push for mike to get paroled because he is such a nuisance helping all of the other prisoners that he is getting inundated with paperwork
  23. Danbury is known for being the prison that Martha Stewart requested she stay at. It seems to be a popular real prison to put fictional characters in. I think Nancy Botwin from Weeds was in it. It is a low security prison. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Danbury
  24. Can every episode this season have some prison employee just shoot down every one of Rachel's "i'm a precious snowflake!!!" BS statements
