A lot is hitting the fan as the the latter half of season 5 begins tomorrow (Wednesday, January 27th). It's going to be rough sledding for Mike, but I'm glad the fake lawyer thing is out in the open.

Mike's dilemma has so many moving parts and hurdles but the eidetic memory and intelligence that got him into trouble may get him out of it. Great scene with the reciting of a serial number.

I feel like it would be pretty easy to prove that someone didn't go to Harvard if they, in fact, didn't go to Harvard. I don't see a way he gets out of this without the show a) ending or b) totally jumping the shark.

Solid, entertaining first 2 episodes. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

The problem he runs into with Harvard are the high merits that were put on his transcript, if he wasn't excelling at every class and part of the law review and whatnot, he could have remained a face in the crowd. "Did this student with a 2.5 GPA with no awards and accolades attend your school" is a whole different question than "Did this student with a (near?) perfect GPA and every accolade go to your school?" Professors and such aren't going to remember everybody 100%, but they would remember the top graduates.

Does anyone remember the girl that put Mike into Harvard's database? What high merits were put on his transcript?

The big one was an A in the class no one gets an A in

They can get away with it. Harvard can say he is in the database and therefore he went here. With being able to pass the bar, his rise to Jr Partner so quickly, and a big donation to cover the cost for his degree, Harvard wouldn't want to take a huge hit with a trial that big.

Why would Harvard lie for a student that defrauded their school?

The PR hit would be worse that someone was able to give themselves a degree and no one knew about it. It could put into question every degree from Harvard. Sometimes it is better to cover it up than to admit that you failed and you don't know how many of your degrees are fake.

I just don't see it. If someone hacks a major school's database, gives himself a degree, is ultimately found and prosecuted with the help of the school then I don't see how that would hurt the school's PR.

If the showrunners go with the story line of the whole Harvard university helping cover this up for Mike then that would fall under scenario b of my previous post. Totally jumping the shark.

The shows premise was ridiculous but plausible when Mike's secret was a secret. Everyone knows now. I can't wait to see what they do with this.

Re: Suits Season 5 (June 24th)

I doubt the powers that be at Harvard Law will be complicit in any cover-up, because Mike's transgressions are illegal and they're a law school. I'm pretty sure the top guys are lawyers, therefore they are "officers of the court".

I don't see how they pull off the "Great Harvard Deception" but I'd like to see them try. If the writers can't or haven't found a way to do it, I wonder where it will go?

Any Cheers fans notice Donna's dad was "Andy Andy"?

Bro, you are the show whisperer, how tf did you catch that guy lol. "You guys catch this guy that was in cheers 40 years ago?" Nah...we missed that. Lol

No idea how they will get out of it, I'm sure somehow they will, not sure mike will be a lawyer anymore. Then again, they could somehow win and then mike has to continue to work there so it doesn't look suspicious. This show has a history of letting characters go off the deep end with their actions then somehow return to business as usual.

LOL, I had seen "Andy Andy's" original appearance more than once. It was one of the best episodes of one of the best comedies in TV history. It was the voice that I first recognized although it had changed slightly from the age factor.

I don't know where they're going with this because at the end of last year's "summer finale" they bring in Trevor of all people to get preachy, and then Mike quits out of guilt for being a fraud. So the question is will the show go a more ethical route and try to get Mike out of this with no prison time but no chance of becoming a lawyer or will they do a Houdini where Mike gets over on the law and is reset as a lawyer in good standing for the remaining 1-4 seasons?

Yeah, I thought they might go down the road of Mike VS Prosecutor in a battle of legal wits, but they clearly took the detour to emotions and conflict. Maybe because of the unique nature of the case a lot of legal wrangling wasn't possible, but in a show about lawyers, the ball was at least bobbled, if not dropped.

Having said that, I'll be satisfied with a season finale that puts the "Mike is a fraud" thing PERMANENTLY to bed, and more than satisfied if they do it in a clever way. If another mess occurs and a continuance of this crap pours into next season, I will be very disappointed.
