All secrets out on the streets
Tell me, oh tell me is this worth the risk
Not believing in oneself, I regret
Will the firm deserve what it gets?
(I would rather you do not mind that prose up... I don't know, my mind is not working well)
SO!!! FIVE FREAKIN YEARS and it all went down to this.
To be honest I am pretty curious when they'll catch Mike as a fraud. Don't get me wrong, I love Mike and I wish I have his photographic memory and that charm to persuade people (yea, because I'm some introvert who doesn't do any socializing that making up a blog) but let's all admit that waiting five season for it to happen is enough.
So, let's breakdown 5B and what just happened... (because it all happened way too fast, and too harsh)
- They left us a frustrating cliffhanger last year by arresting Mike on the last scene (that's a bummer because we had to wait until the new year to actually know what happened after that)
- WHO THE FREAK IS ANITA GIBBS? Why is doesn't she have any chill? Why is she that mad? Why is she even on the show?!
- #Darvey 's back! Ooohhhhh yeeeeaaaa!!
- Okay, I understand Shiela Sasz and I forgive her for what she did but can you and Louis make up already?
- I think Gretchen got a little too excited by Mike's promotion, thus the article, but can you blame her really?
- When this Anita Gibbs went to Rachel and talk about her future, that was the time when I officially hated her.... again, why is she even on the show? I'm talking like any other lawyer could've prosecuted Mike, but nooooo, let's add another character without any back story whatsoever, why?
- For 'God's green earth', she's into journalism as well?!?!?! Wasn't there any 'contempt of court' law in whenever dimension they are? Okay, that was me thinking without any basis, but still there was no verdict yet and she's a lawyer so she would know that that 'editorial' is libelous, whether she put her name on the byline or not. (I am a Journalism major and I don't get why they have this plot, someone enlighten me.)
- Well, I missed the mock trials.
- Can we go past Trevor already? It's getting on my nerves already....
- And how sweet of Benjamin and Harold, like seriously these supporting actors are dope! Jimmy was cool too! That wink is just so cute!!
- I DON'T WANT TO SEE DONNA ON THE STAND EVER AGAIN! Seriously, it breaks my heart whenever she's on the stand. She is just so vulnerable on there, and Donna shouldn't be seen as vulnerable.
- Well, here goes the negotiations and stuff that half of the audience doesn't understand (but yea, they broke it down in layman's terms so we can keep up)
- I like the 'tick tock' scenes. I know it's like a direct hit to the episode's title but dang I enjoyed those scenes!
- It's frustrating to see Harvey broke down again, but it's a big feels train to my #Darvey heart! Like seriously, can these two get together already?
- I'M SO DISAPPOINTED IN YOU MIKE!! How can you not have faith in yourself? You with a photographic memory! You with the tricky mind! You with a persuading tongue! You with a pure and selfless heart! You with a lot to lose! You with a beautiful character! (Yes I know I'm not Rachel but 'Damn it Mike!')
- I knew it!!! I knew he was found innocent...... WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!?!
- And as Mike goes to jail, Pearson-Specter-Litt goes into trouble, but I love how Jessica is holding up. She is definitely the best leader.
- And we might be left with only 6 employees in the firm (Jessica, Harvey, Louis, Rachel, Donna & Gretchen... okay, maybe Benjamin as well, but that's just a possibility)....... :(
That was an intense season!
However, I think it is too intense this season. It's not like when Hardman came into the picture again, it's not like someone is catfishing them or Harvey being prosecuted again because of his past or whatsoever. It is the time when everything topples down because someone found out of about Mike being a fraud. It is the time when everyone involved starts on turning on each other. It is the time when we know who are loyal to the firm and those who are not. And it is that intense that somehow we all focused on the character's flaws, we all focused on who would take Mike's side or not, we all focused on that one villain who shook the ground, we all focused on all the negative things in this season that we can't even get a single laugh. Maybe that's why I loved that scene with Jimmy winking and stuff because it took a comedic spin (One scene Jimmy was so angry and insulted then he shows up at the trial winking at Mike and all)
I loved this season, however even though it's unrelated, I would love for some scenes to be on the light side. Even Louis' sassiness went off the radar this season and I hate not seeing him with all that sass and bitchyness. #Darvey feels are also minimal.
Everything was just so focused on Mike, I wonder how Patrick J. Adams handled the pressure of the character and how did he even direct several of its episodes.
There's no Season 6 promotional poster yet, but it's coming..... |
ALL IN ALL, I'M STILL ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT WAITING FOR SUMMER!
I simply can't wait how will everything turn out, though I'm pretty sure that 2-year in prison would be somehow cut in half or higher. And we all know Louis is genius in recruiting so Pearson-Specter-Litt would be up and running in no time. And since I'm thinking of all positive things here, Shiela Sasz and Louis Litt will end up together, as well as Jessica and her lovey-dovey, showing a empathetic side of Jessica and not as a stone-cold leader. Mike and Rachel will also have their happily ever after and THERE WILL BE A WHOLE SEASON DEVOTED TO #DARVEY LOVE STORY!!!!
