Suits (TV Series) Moot Point (2014) User Reviews

the play within the play...

[A_Different_Drummer · 7/10 · 10 January 2016]

Very risky script...

But after some uncomfortable moments they pull it out of the fire.

The risk is setting up a story about not one but two cases that have nothing to do with justice and everything to do with personal conflicts which goes against the very notion of a legal system -- think of two gunslingers in a western have a showdown ... just to make a point?

If the viewer can get by the above contradiction then the story does raise interesting issues about friendship, relationships, and honor - but not one of the best.

One of the riskiest scripts -- and not quite the home run the writers expected.

PHILOSOPHY

[Essay-Kun · 9/10 · 3 June 2021]

It's hilarious how Louis is always like a toddler.

Expectations , actions and revenge .

All are leveled up to the extremes .

Surely a guy you don't wanna mess with and surely a guy you wanna mess with at times xD I'm never in harmony with people who start it dirty .

Scottie did the same thing Katrina did .

The episode was about the long vision .

Some people are gonna be smart ass than you but you gotta keep looking at what you think is the goal .

It's always a shocker, but since the beginning.

The writers make it so, Harvey and Mike's positions go hand in hand.

Happiness as well as sadness.

Louis has asked for a favour which is tough, but he can't back now if you're a man of words.

Should Harvey tell the truth? Or should he play the situation?

Either way, he can't back down, otherwise, Louis is gonna litt up.

As for mike , it's about time he realizes until he quits and pursue law at any college , he can't climb the ladder no matter how talented he is .

Always will be behind the doors .

PS : I love how serious he's about the code with Mike . No unnecessary revelation about him even though the one asking is his used to be girlfriend .

The Snake in the Grass

[Hitchcoc · 7/10 · 12 August 2023]

Mike wants to give a gift to Harvey for all he has done. So he sets up a confrontation (in court), with his arch enemy, a scrawny character named Stemple, who has beaten him three times in moot court. This guy is a piece of work, a master manipulator, who lies with such frequency, he must himself believe it. In the second plot, it is all about Harvey and Scotty and their turbulent relationship. She wants to know what Harvey can't tell her but she keeps on bullying. This relationship is going to sink, I am sure. Harvey is loyal to Michael and makes a decision to put that first. Mike is giddy because things are working for him, but we know there is a fly in the ointment.

More verbose absurdity

[dierregi · 2/10 · 22 August 2020]

Under normal circumstances, people who start a new job tend to be eager to perform well, at least during their trial period. Especially when said people get the job because they sleep with a senior partner and everybody knows about that.

In this extremely byzantine episode, Scottie's first job at her lover's firm is to go against Louis. I don't know if things actually work like that in the US, but if they do I am really sorry for people who have to put up with this sort of relentless aggression.

Therefore, Scottie proves to be mean, arrogant, disloyal and petty. Apparently all useful features for lawyers, especially at Pearson-Specter Besides, Louis and Scottie are two grown-ups fighting like children in the kindergarten for the same toy or like dogs fighting for the same bone. Really professional... NOT.

Oh boo, and I have been LOVING this series

[xoffielepidoptera · 3/10 · 29 April 2023]

All previous reviews on this episode are pretty spot on, and it disappoints me too as I have loved this series.

Sure they have made continuity errors, unrealistic points, and have used poetic license fairly gratuitously, but none of that upset the fun and entertainment. What does? The Rachael law school invoice/bill.

So, she is hiding from her dad, wants to go it on her own, but is blind sided by the cost of law school at Columbia? Her first choice Harvard was obviously chosen due to how economical it is apparently.

Then we are supposed to believe Louis who agreed to have the firm pay it wouldn't know the cost? He manages ALL the associates out of law school, and his girl friend works for it.

FINALLY, her dad. He is a wealthy and powerful lawyer, and I get she may have wanted to go it alone or expects her to go it alone even for a life lesson. All both are fine and good, but you can't play the shocked card in those cases. You line up the debt, and gamble on yourself, and that is that.

There were just too many options to avoid ALL of the poetic license and unrealism in this part of the story line. I can even put up with Mike just waking up to the fact he is forever an associate lawyer. There was no reason for him to speculate that far ahead to the reality of it, there was reason to expect Rachael to not be a clueless ditz all of a sudden.
