S05E11 'Blowback' - Reviews?

From Mike looking straight into Robert Zane's eyes and saying "I won't do it" (point finger at Harvey) or Rachel's "I can't do that" (give up on Mike) to her father and Harvey's "...break through the door" to get to Mike, the episode was a great comeback after the hiatus. From Mike's argument / discussion with Rachel about the deal offered to their hug at the end after the Soloff win, faith sustained. From seeing Donna brought back into Harvey's path to Scottie walking away from him, one can't help but be delighted to see Donna twice in his apartment.

Anita Gibbs won't fight clean and has laid herself bare very early. She is going all out from the word go. Though this wasn't her episode, she is bound to come trumps up at times against Harvey & Mike. Even though she is still in the nascent stage of her discovery process but has figured out the Robert Zane - Mike equation and is pressing the RZ pressure point atm. Will the hunter become the hunted? Look forward to finding that out as well.

loved the episode..

and it was so good to see Harvey and Mike together..I know it was important to show them working with others so far, but the two of them working together is just so good

they have dug themselves into a hole (well that happened the moment Harvey hired Mike) and as of now even though they think they have things somewhat in balance, there are too many variables..threatening Soloff to not reveal that Harvey is back, trying to be a step ahead of Gibbs, Zane Sr threatening Jessica..its seems like it is going to give soon..

i am kinda sad that they will probably resolve this in only 6 episodes..by season end

i wouldnt mind it being carried over to next season ..its a huge thing after all

loved the tiny Donna-harvey scene..these two need their own screen time and resolution..in due time..once the crisis passes off

Louis was endearing when he let Donna go..and the LoTR reference with jessica at the end 😃

Rachael is not as annoying as she used to be till last season..that in itself is a big feat for me 😆

now if only she would tone down her overreaction and hyperventilaion to everything..ah well

waiting for next episode

PS: for once Jessica's dress with that bow was weird

The blue bits were my favrt parts of the episode. I love the loyalty that Mike & Harvey for each other. I want to see Harvey fight really hard to save Mike.

Loved Donna reassuring Rachel (& the viewers) that Harvey makes things right. Her laying herself on the line, "I don't care" or "if they are going to come for me, they are going to come for me" was Donna all the way. She is selflessly with them. Her first concern when Louis asked her to sit down was to ask if Harvey was in trouble. Way to go Donna.

Louis changed his mind for the umpteenth time! Need Mike to tell me how many times it is by now coz he is "always good at math" 😆

Mike does what he does best by placing the Federal Marshall correctly, being one up on Anita Gibbs with violating his rights to an attorney and resolving the issue of Forstman not finding out Harvey at work. I look forward to him pulling out his aces going forward. Way to go Mike.

I saw this on twitter - "photographic memory FTW" 😆 being smart just comes naturally to him

Also agree about Rachel. She's always been my least favourite among the main six but at least at the beginning she had something more to her character then being Mike's love interest. I liked how she'd tried and failed at the LSATs in spite of being smart and how she still tried to make it on her own and refused her dad's help. But in the last couple of seasons it's like all she does is whine and cry around Mike. At least in this episode it was understandable. But I hope they've given her some more stuff to do in these episodes. She IS supposed to be smart after all, a lawyer-in-the-making. She's got Robert Zane as a father. She's got to be of more help than just crying around. :/
