That he doesn't learn anything enough to rehabilitate himself and then realizes sometime after his release how much of a mistake that was. I think this will hit him the most when he tries to figure out his new place in the world. I hope I'm right about this. If not, then the writers only have themselves blamed for Mike's continued lack of growth. suncore598https://www.blogger.com/profile/06361019904917951002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-85799818694352619952016-09-10T02:27:05.878-04:002016-09-10T02:27:05.878-04:00Mike Ross was like two days in jail, ha!

I don't understand what happened to the character, what happened to the writers' vision of this character. It's like its development is stuck. To me, Mike's motive isn't clear. He knew he committed a crime, he chose to go to prison as part of a deal to protect his friends but suddenly (after a few hours with his girlfriend) he wanted out. But he wanted out but not without demanding things from Harvey every episode. Meh. The prision arc could've been so much better in terms of personal development (for every character).Rachel inZanehttps://twitter.com/tmusingsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-15174439145901322322016-09-09T08:21:26.195-04:002016-09-09T08:21:26.195-04:00I guess now Harvey is going to get in trouble for ...I guess now Harvey is going to get in trouble for all the shady things he did to get Mike out and that he's going to suffer for it during the final episodes this season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-36795579047432590532016-09-09T06:03:39.778-04:002016-09-09T06:03:39.778-04:00Great review as usual.

He really deserves something good at this point, after all the heartbreak and stress of last two seasons. <br /><br />About Mike's prison time, Patrick said on Twitter it was about three weeks. Not enough to learn anything from the experience, unfortunately. Honestly right now I feel like he doesn't deserve all the struggle and the efforts Harvey had to go through to get him out. Hope there will be a reality check in line for him, soon.

Yes, Harvey did all of those things. But he did everything this season for one reason -- to keep Mike alive and get him out. He shows remorse and guilt for thinking about and/or doing all those things you mentioned (except maybe almost punching Sean Cahill and threatening Gallo). He doesn't want to do them, but Harvey's always been about the bottom line. But the difference I see this season is that he's going through it with a team. Yes, he and Sean colluded, but Harvey softens up when Sean tells him the story of his mother (I think it was his mom, right?). So I'm not saying he's suddenly the moral high ground in this show, but that he's realized being a one-man army against the system is not going to help Mike at all. He needs to do things he doesn't want to do and work with people he doesn't want to work with in order to get the job done.<br /><br />Is it right that his bottom line almost lets a sociopath on parole? No, of course not. I'm not saying that everything Harvey did this season is right and morally pure. But his selfishness drove him toward people and plans. He and Cahill literally pretended to be mad at one another to get what each of them wanted. They put on acts in front of Sutter. They played their parts. <br /><br />The growth part is that he actually went to Jessica for help, stopped barking at Donna long enough to listen to her, and warred with Cahill but eventually learned that working with someone was better than working against them when they both had the same goal in mind.<br /><br />Mike, on the other hand, I argue this season has been entirely reckless in his pursuit of what he wants. He goes over Harvey TWICE in this episode in order to get what he wanted. It's never enough for Mike, which is his problem. It wasn't enough that he got out -- he needed Kevin to get out too and was willing to almost die to make that happen. Mike's reckless because he relies on himself, first and foremost, because he thinks he can do it all and knows it all (which is why I have a problem with Rachel, in her worst moments).<br /><br />So no, you're totally right: Harvey isn't a saint. But this season he at least learned that if you're gonna get a job done, go through it with a team. Keep them in the loop. Plan everything out meticulously. Mike, on the other hand, wings it all season and is lucky he makes it out alive.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11696902354009598893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-32056602917973133782016-09-08T11:12:16.904-04:002016-09-08T11:12:16.904-04:00Harvey has threatened to put a bounty out, kill a ...Harvey has threatened to put a bounty out, kill a man, put multiple people "in the ground", was willing to collude, drugged Mike and framed Frank for it, was willing to perjure himself, and was also willing to set someone he deemed a sociopath capable of murder free on the street. He's also gotten physical with Frank, and was seconds away from punching Cahill (who went above and beyond for him) in the face. Harvey has been crossing lines all season, not sure how that translates into not being reckless and showing growth let alone being a "precious snowflake". Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
