It's almost time to Suit Up!

Aka Suits will continue on January 28th! The goddamn series is so goddamn good that I goddamn cannot wait! I've been binge-watching the past seasons from the beginning and the awesomeness has hit me again. I can't decide who's the biggest badass on the series: Harvey "I-don't-play-the-odds-I-play-the-man" Specter, Jessica "You-woke-the-dragon" Pearson or Donna "Genius-of-Donna-is-everyday" Paulsen. Or do they all get "Litt up"?

There are three things I'm eager to see at some point:

1. Harvey has a brother named Marcus. I have got the feeling, mostly from what Harvey's been saying, that Marcus isn't necessarily as tough or cool as Harvey, but if he's even half of what his brother is, he would be interesting. I want them to bring Marcus to the show, I want to see Harvey interacting with his brother.

2. There's been a lot of talk about one quite significant person on the show, but not once have we seen this person even in the background. I'm talking about Louis's infamous secretary Norma. I'm picturing her to be a chubby fifty-year-old lady with a tight topknot and lacy shawl in awful colors like mustard yellow. Anti-Donna, so to say. If she doesn't match my mental image when we finally get to see her, I'm going to flip. But seriously, when are we going to see her??

3. Thirdly and most importantly I am dying to know the deal with the can opener! I'm all in for more flashback-episodes, especially if they would reveal us that. Well, the inventing moment for that ritual was already shown, so we are not gonna find out what they do with the can opener that way. Now please, make something big happen and show us what is it with the can opener!

Suits: expectations for season 3

Season 3 premiers in _three_days_ (!!!!), so i decided to share my hopes for the new season. Season 2 ended with all the Pearson & Darby merger fuss, Rachel getting rejected from Harvard, Scotty confessing her love for Harvey, Harvey confronting Mike and Mike telling Rachel he's a fraud and they having angry sex after that.

I wish season 3 picks up right where season 2 ended. I want to see how Mike and Rachel deal with the situation and what happens between Harvey and Scotty. I don't really care about the merger, it just brings along unnecessary tension. Now that Scotty was fired they could just wipe Darby's ass out back to England and be done with him for good and bring Scotty to work at Pearson.

I wish life at Pearson(-Darby?) will calm down so that there is more room to the witty humor they had in season one that was lacking in season two due to all the struggling with Hardman, Robert Zane and the merger. In the long-run I want more information about Donna and Harvey's past, how they got working together and what has happened between them. Also a flash of Harvey and Louis working as young associates would be interesting to see, too.

I'm kind of sorry they killed Mike's Grandmother already. Although they got good plot out of it they could've gotten a lot more out of her still being a part of the cast. One of my favorite moments from last season was her meeting Rachel and Harvey and Mike being all embarrassed.

What I don't want to see is Mike getting yet again in some meaningless relationship while he should hook up with Rachel (they're perhaps my favorite tv-couple at the moment). I also don't mind if we don't see Trevor or Jenny again, but I think Mike needs a buddy of his own age and stage. Some fellow associate might do, but of course then Mike should again wrestle with his conscience whether or not to tell about his non-existent Harvard Degree. So far we have seen a blink of Harvey's soft side, but in my opinion we deserve more, much more.

Tunnarit

Jokaisella loistavalla tv-sarjalla (ja leffasarjalla, ehkä yksittäisillä leffoillakin) on oltava tunnari, joka sopii sarjan henkeen ja tekee siitä tunnistettavan ja legendaarisen. Nykytrendi kuitenkin ainakin tv:ssä tuntuu olevan, että tunnari on muutama hassu kilahdus ja sarjan nimi välähtää nopeasti ruudussa, ja henkilökohtaisesti minusta se on köyhä tapa.

Muutama oma tunnarisuosikkini:
Teho-osasto: Kuinka voimakas tunnari! Kuvaa hyvin sarjan tunnelmaa kaikessa hektisyydessään. Tosin parille viimeiselle kaudelle se vaihdettiin juuri tuollaiseksi köyhäksi kolahdukseksi, mikä varmasti laski sarjan fiilistä. Alkuperäinen nostalgisoi varmasti monia.

Frendit: Kuinka moni taputtaa mukana? Tässä toinen esimerkki, miten tunnari voi kertoa sarjasta kaiken oleellisen. Päinvastoin kuin Tehiksessä, Frendien tunnari on iloinen (no onhan se sentään komedia), mutta ei välttämättä nostalgisoi ainakaan minua niin paljon, ehkä siksi että siitä puuttuu dramaattisuutta. Hyvän fiiliksen sillä saa taatusti.

O.C.: Califoorniaaa... Tämä on minulle ehkä nostalgisin, koska nuorempana katsoin sarjaa niin paljon. Tämä taas on itse sarjaa ehkä valoisampi, koska aurinkoisessa Kaliforniassa kuitenkin sattu ja tapahtuu kaikenlaista traagista. Silti sopii täydellisesti sarjalle.

Rillit huurussa: Sanoista ei saa mitään selvää ja vaikka tietäisikin ne, ei pysy perässä (mutta viimeinen BANG! täytyy hihkaista joka tapauksessa). Hauskuudessaan yhtä hauska kuin itse sarjakin.

Suits: Loppuun uusin rakkauteni, jonka tunnarissa on chilli cowboy-meininki. Kuvaa sarjaa, jossa ihmiset tietävät olevansa parhaita, vaikkei heidän tarvitse todistaa sitä vaan he voivat istua toimistossa jalat pöydällä. How awesome is that?
