The halftime show was fine but generated a lot of controversy coz of Beyonce's performance. Her single Formation, released a day prior had its own set of supporters & critics.

not a fan of the song and i never will understand beyonce's fascination with the peculiar dressing style she has..
hmm.. i can understand why the filmmakers criticized it though

saw the half time video/..liked the Coldplay part..Beyonce vs Bruno mars was more of a dance off than a performance
a couple of questions..viewers are allowed to enter the ground?
why was the stadium more than half empty?



That controversy aside, Coldplay had earlier featured on Ellen show too -

Saw Suits yesterday - they are building up for Mike - Harvey disagreement. This might be good coz they will have 2 different approaches to beat her in her own game. If Anita Gibbs has a solid case, why is she doing things in such an underhand fashion? She possibly has a score to settle with Harvey or Jessica the way she is going after them every way possible. I can never tire of Mike turning things around, this time for Rachel. Jack Soloff is on his way up in terms of gaining good graces. He has worked with Mike & recognizes talent, not to mention the threat he received from him. He made his intentions clear by handing over his weakness to Jessica. If she could do so much for Mike, he might have chosen well. I liked that Donna & Rachel had a heart-to-heart. Last season, Harvey told Donna that he loved her & this episode he said he loved Scottie 😕 Who does he really love?

i didnt like this episode of suits as much as I have generally liked the others of this season..something was off..it had drama and tight situations alright but it was almost like they overdid..Mike for sure did imo..I get that Gibbs went after rachael and that got him worried but he was acting on the spur..so he comes to know that he is probably a major reason for Harvey-Scotie splitting too (if not the only reason)..Add that to Jessica-Malone..wonder if he will ever be shown to feel the impact of it..awhich is why maybe his high handedness annoyed me more just as his she is love of my life chant ..we get it..dont have to say it again and again..
apart from the circumstances being revealed to Mike wrt Harvey-Scottie, i dont see why they got her back (someone else could have imparted rachael the reality check..not that she got it)
and like you I am confused too as to whom does harvey love..the makers are making an unnecessary muddle of thing I believe..just trying to over complicate stuff to drag it out to next season..we have had absolutely no resolution to Harvey's ILU to Donna or her quitting ( in terms of theur emotions and current status) and now they make it seem like Harvey is taking therapy for Scottie (when he actually dreamed of Donna with Tanner)..the makers are going wrong here


The highlight of the episode for me was without a doubt, Louis's last scene with Sheila..👏

Rachael remains underdeveloped and unexplored..for someone who is supposed to be smart, she went with Gibbs (which in itself was foolish) and continues to panic , hyperventilate and whine (she had reason for the first and third but its so overdone that i have no patience for it),,,and then when Mike got her off the hook they acted like she had never panicked
and her behavior when donna comes...she is being shown as downright selfish..
and next epi we have pics of Donna and her sitting side by side on floor..so again she will panic/breakdown..i know she is an imp character..but they are giving her way too much screen time

lastly, Mike is getting too cocky..or he always was,,but is rubbing me wrongly

Sorry for the harsh criticism..it seems i really didn't like the epi..the makers have spoiled me ..so that i don't like mediocrity which is what this episode was


Thx for all the articles u posted for me. I was only aware of the Siachen issue.

interesting read on Siachen now with the debate on whether it needs to be dimilitarized
one of the US (I think) experts had commented that India-Pakistan fighting for Siachen is like two bald men fighting for a comb..they just wont get the importance..

http://youtu.be/JfzzLqzEf-I

Tom Hiddlestone vs Hugh Laurine..wow
i loved one as Loki and other as House...seems good

Didnt know Deadpool was so famous...also didnt think Ryan Renlds was a good choice..seems like he is proving things wrong

Superbowl - Not sure how the organizers do it but the halftime always has a musical production, so it is possible they either let the viewers in or bring in people from outside specifically for this purpose 😕.

I don't know if the stadium was half empty considering the tics were exorbitantly high but it was possible that spectators stepped away during half time to concession stands, restrooms etc. At the end of show, the stadium had a message "Believe in Love", so I guess that part was fully seated.

Suits - I had a disconnect with this episode myself and had pinned it to other reasons. I agree, Rachel leaving with AG made no sense just coz she flashed a legal paper that their conversation wouldn't be allowed in court. She knows what Mike's stand is on this but is she hedging her bets and leaving a door open? Mike getting upset with Harvey coz Rachel willingly went with AG was not fair. I guess that's why they had Donna comment that Mike doesn't make the right decisions when he is upset.

Looking at the pics before, I had thought that Scottie was being brought in to represent PSL as Jessica wanted. But this was something else 😕.

Yup, Louis did protect Sheila without hurting Harvey-Mike's cause. If Sheila had stayed and appeared in court, Harvey would have managed to cast aspersion on her proficiency and this way, she is out of the picture completely and not available to testify, same outcome either way.

F-16 sale - I only came to know about it by reading the article in TOI. Had no idea otherwise.

Grammy's - At one time, I used to watch the event but not anymore.

Deadpool - It is rated "R" here which means that kids under 17 have to be accompanied by an adult. A friend's parent accompanied them. Movie seems to have been a high grosser even though RR also appeared as Green Lantern hero before.
Edit - don't know if I posted this for you before on Suits
e16 synopsis states as the judgment draws closer, it threatens to shatter the lives of people closest to Mike and faced with an uncertain outcome, he makes one final play 😉

Hmm..makes sense that people had gone out for refreshments..just that the people around the stage in centre..I didn't see any security..doesn't it become risky

@suits: what other reasons had u pinned it to?
Donnas explanation to Mike not making right decisions when updmset..doesn't that go contrary to what we have seen so far..when backed into a corner..he sort of comes out wih a solution..IMO that statement was a shitty attempt to justify the poor drama they tried to create..both Rachael and Mike didn't end up looking good in this epi.. As much as I believe Harvey is at fault too .I felt bad for him

@epi 16 spoiler..I hope they make it realistic..Mike pulling a rabbit out of hat at last moment is becoming stale faster than I thought..

I am surprised Gibbsis going to go after Donna first in the trial

@make in India: sounds like a really good initiave by the govt..one of the few postives right now given how the country is embroiled in one controversy after other
The latest one with JNU is leaving a very bad taste in my mouth with the antinational flavour

@deadpool: hoping to catch it now that the reviews are good

Have to catch Daredevil last few epi before I start the new one


Edit: saw the pics..so Mike will fight his own case and not Harvey
Don't think I like it..Harvey might not have faught a criminal case in ages but Mike never has..
I think I should stop over thinking coz Mike is annoying me..😆

I was distracted due to personal reasons and didn't enjoy this episode as much as the others.

but Mike himself or his situation not been placed in a dire situation. It has been a client. Here the stakes are high and he himself is under the gun. What he stands to lose is way more than what he had before.

Harvey, with his experience, is maintaining his calm at least on the outside.

Seems to have done well in India too...

Edit: saw the pics..so Mike will fight his own case and not Harvey
Mike and Harvey feed off of each other, so Harvey will play a very important part. Just like Harvey said when he got Mike released that they would have to go on offensive and in the next episode, Mike's strategy was the same for subpoenas. Pics do not give us a complete picture and maybe Harvey will fight the case. Did you recognize the crying woman? Was she in an episode before?

Yeah but that has been in the past too..I mean the situation where he is about to lose everything..I think he did cross the line

both Rachael and Mike didn't end up looking good in this epi.. As much as I believe Harvey is at fault too .I felt bad for him

It's getting worse..and the worst part of this..people are forgetting the main issue at hand..that a handful of students did raise antinational slogans which needs to be condemned

Going for it tonight

My first K drama was boys over flower..predominantly fluff..but was nice

I know I have been vocal abt disliking Rachel but I usually don't finds her actions reasonable..if they are henceforth..which I do read they will be..she will be fiercer...I will admit it😆

Boys over flower is available in Netflix 😃 Would u recommend it? Any other ones?


Have come across behavior like Rachel's in real life, so can understand why she behaves the way she does. It is not necessarily right but we all happen to be a product of our upbringing, experiences & environment, to name a few factors 😉.


My thoughts on Suits episode are posted in the Suits forum till u watch it.

Boys over flowers only if u want to go for fluff..there isnt much depth to it but i did like one of the 4 main boys in the show ( not either of 2 main lead guys)
there was another show i had liked..something sun..lemme remember the name

i do get that there are people like her..but her behaviour in season 1 was totally different from the ones later...she was shown as smart professional not a wimpy girl.. her actively going after a married man was a big sore point '
I think the writers in general ( not for Suits specifically) have a hard time writing good layered female characters in general..and of the show has more than one important female characters..more often than not, they mess up

My thoughts on Suits episode are posted in the Suits forum till u watch it.

Posted my views too..u might not agree 😆


@Oscars: i get the whole premise..but as long as the best actor for that year wins ( even if its not a personal best performance) i guess its ok..there are some years where the performances, no matter how good they are dont match up to others where everyone had their best

I do agree though..having to undergo intense prep for a character does play a big role in building an opinion on who the winner should be




Neerja is getting rave reviews..even Sonam..looks to be the first sonam movie that everyone will like


Govt is making hoisting of flags in central universities mandatory..not people have problem with that too..I wonder why..they are govt of India funded universities..what harm can come of hoisting a national flag there

Let me know when u remember the name of kdrama. This one is mushy too & the thing I don't like abt them is that u can't listen in & have to watch to read subtitles & know what is going on. Finished watching s1 HoC.

How was Deadpool? Liked it? Going to watch Neerja?


I see nothing wrong in hoisting national flag in govt. universities. Here govt. buildings, including even elementary schools (K thru 5th grade), have national flags.

I remembered..itwas called Master's Sun


I liked deadpool ..it was different from the usual superhero movies and I am pleasantly surprised with Reynolds.. One thing I really liked was the opening credits..they didn't give any name..instead had descriptions...
There was a lot of censoring of language though despite it being given an A certificate...it was frustrating..


Mum saw Neerja..she loved it..Shabana azmi was fantastic acc to her and even sonam was decent (that's a huge improvement for sonam)..I will be able to catch it only next to next week as am heading for vacation on Tue


@orphan black..damn..I am behind on that one too


@suits: will reply in forum as soon as possible

Meanwhile finale promotional pics for u..
They have potential spoilers in terms of next Epi..so check it if u r OK..
There is one pic which I really really liked..I am sure you would know which

Master's Sun is not on Netflix right now. Stuff at times comes & goes, so will keep an eye.
Am including Neerja on my list. Deadpool continues to do well here. Benedict C is also to star as a Marvel superhero, Dr Strange.

Enjoy ur vacay...where is it this time & when r u coming back?

Wrt Suits promo pics, that pic has to be my fav too 😃
& now this -



I thought DP was VD's sole love interest in the movie -
