Remember someone in the Suits forum earlier had said that Gretchen was a lawyer & role playing. One of AK's ivs I have posted say that there is a twist to her character but she continues to be part of the show. Seemed they were not getting rid of her but an act like this would warrant her ouster immediately. I loved her fierceness & straight talk very much & will be disappointed if she is the one. She does not appear in the contest of who sold Mike out. But who knows? Jack Soloff's character will change too per AK's iv. He has also hinted that the snitch is someone who believes it's the right thing to do.

Feeling better to take on the world?

Oh I love Gretchen for the same reasons..but then she very well could believe it was the right thing to do..being a lawyer herself..and it may warrant her ouster from PSL but not from the show..just being the devils advocate here..though I think the idea of Gretchen being the snitch is far fetched and I don't think they would go with it..right now I see her ending up as Louis's sec


@take on world: not completely out yet..but getting there..slower than I would want but ah well


BTW coldplay new song..where sonam is present for all of 3 seconds..

Based on who is getting eliminated, I am changing my suspect regularly 😆...right now it is either Shiela or Prof Gerard. Prof Gerard himself did something unethical in the past but since the actors said they were surprised themselves, could it be him? Shiela is easier to see as the culprit. Jimmy is one of the suspects listed and can't place him either coz he has had very little to do apart from the one case he wanted Mike to fight. Wrt Gretchen,

What's the status of Gretchen (Aloma Wright) now that Donna (Sarah Rafferty) is working for Harvey again?

We like Gretchen so much, that we didn't want to let that character go. We will discover what becomes of her early in the next episode. She remains a part of our world.

Is it safe to assume that Louis (Rick Hoffman) is looking for a new assistant?

Louis will be looking for a new assistant, that's safe to assume.

Take adequate rest and you will as good as new 😉

I guess you are feeling weak too since it takes away a lot of energy. Working at the same time does not help recover quick...perils of modern life!
Seems like quite a controversy with Coldplay song. For me, it was a notch above the usual fare and goes with the theme of the song. It is speculated to be played during the Superbowl half-time where Coldplay is performing and Beyonce is set to join them.

Oh it has indeed created a controversy but that doesn't surprise me too much..anything and everything becomes a huge controversy these days with twitter and FB etc playing a huge role..its disconcerting.. So much so that controversy and hype have become a part and parcel of everything


I didn't really like the video..was too clichd IMO..and an onslaught and more than the sights and slums and taxis and children (I can see why they attract foreigners..it how they view india..at least a part of it and its not entirely untrue for those parts) it was Beyonce that struck odd..the whole heroine bit she played was weird.


Speaking of controversy, Oscars new list of presenters is a varied bunch..or different ethnicities..a reaction to the criticism over the nominations I believe..
Who is getting advantage of that..PC..she has been announced as a presenter..which in itself is huge man..I mean I don't think she has done that much breakout work to be given that opportunity.. Good for her


Managed to see airlift?


Feeling a bit better today..though u r right..completely zapped of energy

True that about huge controversy in the age of social media

Coldplay song - I guess the response has been varied for Indians in India & those living abroad coz the acceptance appears to be much higher here. Have to read up on Beyonc bit coz did not understand y she is made the target too. As someone said, if Aish, Sonam, PC etc. can sport western outfits, y not her in an Indian garb in an Indian movie? I just hope this backlash does not deter others.

PC is going places for sure...good for her.

Everyone is unanimously raving about Airlift but have not seen it yet. Will have to wait for the DVD release. Meanwhile Yudh (AB senior show) is on Netflix.

Suits - I don't see any activity on spoiler thread I started. I m thinking of not updating it coz don't know if someone even visits it. What do u think? Suits on FB has posted a new clip of tomorrow's episode & USA has released the description for the Feb. 17th installment of Suits titled "Self-Defense".
As time runs out before the trial, Mike wants to represent himself while Harvey wants to lead the charge. To decide the issue, Harvey challenges Mike to a winner takes all showdown, but the prospect of beating one another starts to overshadow their real goal - to beat Anita Gibbs. Meanwhile, Louis's attempt to get Sheila out of the picture comes back to haunt him and Jessica.

@coldplay: naah the issue isn't with Beyonce playing an Indian heroine..atleast not for me..bt it was weird seeing her play that when they had sonam too (for what I don't understand) ..also the portrayal of heroine in itself was weird..
But yeah I agree to ur observations.. Indians living in India had more issue than the ones abroad and yes..hope it doesn't deter anyone

@airlift: a couple of my friends found it to be too documentarish..and yeah in a way it is..not much masala but I think it's def worth a watch..
Are u going to watch the AB show?



@suits: I guess people aren't very active on suits forum..even less than 5A where there used to be more discussions
I love the spoilers u post..but somehow don't feel like Commenting there..hope u post them here atleast even if u stop posting it there


@mike-harvey mock trial: I have loved suits mock trails..they generally are high drama..but not sure how I feel abt Mike vs Harvey..I like the bromamce..not sure if their will to outdo each other will go down well..def a plausible situation but its been long time since we have seen them together and this will prolong it

On another note, I hope they don't end his story line in this season..coz them it will seem half baked..6 episodes is too less time for something so huge

Haha...good luck trying to figure out videos of songs! A few I watch don't make much sense to me. Lean on video is one such example. Beyonc's presence I could understand since she sang the song with Chris Martin but from her presence, I felt only half the time she was dressed as an Indian. The remainder part even though attired in an Indian fabric, her gown, cape & crown were more western. SK's part was the odd one out but if she is a fan, why not?


For Airlift, remember seeing a headline where AK said the intention was to make a documentary to begin with. Documentary or not, it appears to have been liked by all. It is on my active list to watch. Trying to watch PoI s4 on Netflix & failing miserably. Will get around to Yudh some day 😉.


Will post the spoilers here for u. Clip from e12 - http://tvline.com/2016/02/02/suits-season-5-video-donna-versus-anita-gibbs/

Jessica/Gina said that there is no closure by end of this season in one of ivs I have posted, so we will have a spillover in next season. Folks r suggesting not watching e12 recap if it's someone from a much older episode.

This mock trail should be good coz Harvey will put all his might on the line (coz GM said Harvey feels guilty for putting Mike in this position) unlike s4 when he had to go against Mike, while representing Logan. He was dragging his feet and was so torn when he went to Walter Gillis with Mike's past. He absolutely hated it but had no other option to protect Mike. At the end of the day, Harvey & Mike work best together & I hope they will realize this from the exercise. AK also said Mike won't be able to claim not being a lawyer coz it would make others look guilty now. This is another interesting twist to the tale.


Edit - just saw the episode ... the reveal happened & the episode was fast paced with chilling turn of events.

@red: didnt get u there

as for closure..the article u posted..the hollywood repirter one..AK says it wont end of season 5..so i am confused..coz its like a huge mess right now

saw the episode...damn
that went downhill so fast..all before the subpeonas
everyone had their tussles in heat of the moment..and how small things by everyone led to where they are now..inlcuding gretchens article
ofcourse they were in the wrong..and have commited fraud but then we have come to care for them..
Jeff-Jessica scene at end probably hinted at a not so favorable end to the whole professional part but a shot a another chance on personal front
Scottie is back next week..wonder if that will have an effect on Harvey-Donna's personal equation, not that now is the time

Rachael continues to grate me..though i dont explicitly fault her..but something doesnt seem nice


As much as Anita Gibbs is a bitch...the character is strong and worthy of being an opponent

The snitch was not really completely surprising considering we had speculated abt everyone and eliminated most others...sometimes i feel too many spoilers are bad
though i wonder why she came forward at the end


i dont see how they will clear this out..someone ( practical choice being Mike) will have to take a fall..otherwise it would look impractical

they have def dialed up the drama/intrigue in back half of the season
