Tftnt Leonie I can't wait

My Kind Of Crazy

cant wait to watch tonight

~Leonie~

watching it right now, so I'm typing up stuff while pausing

Harvey going to Rachel: awwwww that was so sweet. I loved that interaction. Don't remember we ever had that before.

Louis looking over that IT guy's shoulder that was so awkward! Loved having some fun scenes in the episode!

I love that IT guy for staying at the firm! I want him to have more scenes for it he must a be great guy!


Rachel's speech!

Jessica being that open and vulnerable! It was sad, but I loved seeing her like that


Now for the rest I'll start talking about it in the character's threads
But I loved this first episode

It was really trouble The ending upset me a lot...

~Leonie~

It did? Why?

I've watched four times already, and I'll probably watch a few more times before next week's episode, because 601 "To Trouble" might be one of my favorite episodes of the entire series.

What stands out most for me are the small human moments that highlight the emotional depth of these characters. Harvey/Rachel, Rachel/Jessica, Rachel/Donna, Harvey/Jessica, even Louis/Harvey. It's easy to see why they often refer to themselves as family, dysfunctional though they are at times.

I read spoilers so I wasn't too surprised by the twist at the end but I felt Mike's surprise and shock. And earlier I felt his almost desperate need to connect with someone in prison. Unfortunately, he picked the wrong guy. (That said, pitting someone from Harvey's past against Mike is a clever way to maintain the Mike/Harvey connection while Mike's in prison, and I can't wait to see how the Dream Team works to survive.

This episode feels like a prologue for subsequent episodes, re-confirming existing relationships, establishing new relationships, and setting up the story that will drive the first 10 episodes of season 6.

Can't wait for 602!

~Leonie~

Didn't even look at it that way! But you are so right!!

Love your insights on the episode! But after watching it 4 times, they couldn't be anything but good

My Kind Of Crazy

jessica/harvey/louis and that whole mud conversation just had me laughing so hard. and that harvey didnt understand what he was talking about at first just made it even funnier.

im glad the IT guy stuck around too. hope he comes back for more scenes in future eps.

i feel bad about mike getting screwed over his first day in jail.

malcome jamal warner (from the cosby show) was great in this ep. hope he returns as well

~Leonie~

I already thought I recognized him!!!! He was from the Cosby Show?!!

DiamondGirl5

Malcolm-Jamal Warner has done a lot of good work since The Cosby Show, most recently in The People v. O.J. Simpson and Major Crimes but it's impossible not to associate him with The Cosby Show. He seems a good fit as Mike's prison counselor.

Really loved the stoned mud conversation scene. I've watched it 10 times and it's still cracking me up.

My Kind Of Crazy

yeah i havent watched those other shows, this is the first ive seen him in anything. and i loved what i saw. i really hope he returns and does more eps.

Glad this show is back, it just gives me good feelings.

I loved Harvey saying he missed Mike.

The lack of Mike was super noticeable to me though and while I loved the harvey/jessica/louis moments I fond the latter half of the episode a bit slow.

Rachel just annoys me. I realize shes sad about Mike and the wedding but come on, she knew this could happen, and 2 years isn't THAT horrible, not compared to some jail time other people have to go through.

DiamondGirl5

Knowing something could happen intellectually and actually living through it emotionally are two entirely different things. The entire episode took place less than a day after she and Mike had planned to marry, and she needs a little time to process her feelings, which include something akin to grief.

Ok, so my thoughts on the episode;

I liked that havery, jessica and louis worked together and that they got high. i found that funny. i'm glad donna knocked some sense into havery. i feel like that prison guy will use his power that he over mike, and i don't like that. and yes, i feel like the prison guard is a good fit for mike.
