Mike Ross Passes The New York State Bar | Suits | PD TV 

great band! sounds like something they'd play on the show

u still in touch with him?

what a privilege dude... very cool

I just checked out your band, you guys are really good. New fan here! 😂

@@baneous18 Haven't talked to him since then. Pretty sure I saw him in the crowd at one of our shows a few years ago though.

Omg yes😂😂😂

Yup

Louis character was the utter best

Made me cry laughing 😂😂

Gus and Shawn

Maybe, but Denny Crane and Alan Shore was better.

@@eddieardakoc7308 Oh I 100% agree - Boston Legal has one of my favourite endings in television

Denny Crane and Alan Shore :)

@@eddieardakoc7308 came here to say this exact thing Denny and Alan better than anything else they re freaking flamingos man you cant beat that

It’s THE original strong and independent woman concept. Until it was watered down sadly…

@@degosoft and there it goes!

You mean CJ from The West Wing?

Exactly

@@degosoft ok femi 🎉🎉

Yeah, ol Stackhouse is awesome in this. Be pretty amazing to have a bro of that calibre!

Yeah! For a moment I thought he should’ve become an actor instead! Then I felt a bit silly.

It was lame af, a predictable overplayed trope

@@Dexter-nw2fe much like the youtube comment section critic, isnt it? ^^,

@@Neeko90... well played

@@telofy Well it's true Harvey Spector is now just playing as Gabriel Macht

didn’t she move to chicago for a man though?

@@ThatDIYguy862 doing stuff for a man isn’t dependence. It’s relying on a man that is

@@ThatDIYguy862 a woman needs a man as he does need a woman, it has nothing to do with independence, it is team work and respect for each other.

@@ThatDIYguy862 Moving cities for someone you love isn't a sign of weakness.

That's why she's the head of the firm.

But that was part of the plot, Harvey being reckless, selfish, irresponsible, and dragging others down with him if it fails was his whole character in the beginning of the show. It wasn't until later on when he matured and grew a conscious BECAUSE of Mike. Had Jessica been there to help recruit, it probably would've gone down differently.

Not sure if you remember this but Mike actually passed to enter Harvard and was blacklisted or something because he was caught selling the answers to a certain math exam. Harvey and the firm probably won't be able to send him to any law school I guess

@@b1b2alpha He was in Columbia I think but was admitted to go into Harvard. The Dean who was forced to resign(Mike sold papers to Dean's Daughter) left but not before telling Harvard about Mike. But Pierson is a powerful woman in Suits so she has the ability to get him in. Since it's a show they probably would of made it some legal case argument. Still they have the ability to have done that.

it's a fictional show .... this wouldn't happen in any law firm

@@michaelbishop9157 He wouldn't be allowed into any law school much less get a law license with him admitting and serving time for posing as a lawyer. If Harvard in Legally Blonde found out that Elle posed as a lawyer to her friends ex husband, she would have been expelled and not able to get a license, and that was maybe five minutes.

Don't forget Louis, Donna and Rachel

@@theaccountant1295 To be honest I wish that Mike would be with Jenny or Katrina instead of Rachel. I can't forgive that Rachel cheated on Mike with Logan. I'm pretty sure that Harvey and Mike had a fight because he didn't want Mike to marry Rachel

@@Aidan_Au I hated Rachel from the beginning and the fact that Megan Markle left the show only leading the Mike being written off solidified my position

@@AmrRivers I thought that Mike's actor wanted to do something else or be on another show?

@@Aidan_Au yeah Jenny just seemed so much nicer and sweeter than oversmart Rachel

As the script writers make it so.

@@ghostl1124 yes, refreshing to see real women reflected on TV, happens so rarely

how is strong and feminine mutually exclusive?

@@FM-dm8xj You tell me, you just made this assumption whereas i described a character as having both, why ask me? So you go pointlessly debate with yourself about that and quit bothering people with your reading into sth they said too much and pulling out something that isn't there

​@@xbeex100 not "real" women, all women are real in the real world, i think the word you are looking for is "relatable female character".

Jessica ALWAYS protected Harvey. ALWAYS. and you're right ... ultimately, she was the one that could have, but DID NOT, fire Mike. it was HER sword to fall on .... not Harvey's.

Welcome to Suits

@@averystevenson7155 Even so, I don’t think it would be considered fair for a job applicant to be interviewed by someone who hates their guts.

@@averystevenson7155 don’t I know it.

@@averystevenson7155 actually yes it does

@@boomds5602 does it

That's QUITE LITERALLY what Jessica said ... without saying it aloud. and that's precisely WHY it worked. and why Jessica DID NOT fight her losing her law license. cuz Anita KNEW that if she didn't comply ... Jessica would without question take her out too.

and, now that I think about it .... this is ALSO why her disbarment was swept under the rug until that other guy put it back under the spotlight a year later. cuz she wasn't actually disbarred at the end of this episode.

So instead of inviting her into the house to let Anita Gibbs take her coat off they just turned up the temperature

It wouldn't surprise me if there were two scripts to that scene. One with him in and one with him out. And the only person who knew which one was the right one was Gabriel Macht ... right before the scene was filmed. The goal being to get that extra surprise with the delivery from the cast. I mean seriously, other than Donna's line about getting Champaign every other line could have been used if the decision was the reverse.

Me neither ❤️ 💙 💜 💖

Suits Scandal Person of Interest The Sheild All Great Entertainment

Mhmm..

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Lol

I remember I was there!

@@commondirtbagz7130 I also remember, I was the bar

? It is a soap opera.

It's also not very realistic. No one impersonating a lawyer for years would get admitted to the bar.

@jamesrawlins735 No one would be impersonating a lawyer for years to begin with. The whole premise of the show is just stupid and this is why I never watched it, the premise was too ridiculous for me.

@@jamesrawlins735that’s why it’s a Tv show , not documentary.

@@BlagoPyou always have opportunity to watch reality shows with all brutality. Some of us prefer a fiction.

It’s a TV series. If they did the show ends… duh

Their firm was a jail cell.

A lot of really guilty people never spend a day in prison. If you got the right connections you can get away with a lot. Of course this is a TV show so they can get away with it because that’s what the writers decided on.

Have you seen the US lately? Trump, Pelosi, Gaetz etc. they all are corrupt, cheated or did something illegal for sure, and they are remaining free as birds….

They got lucky

ro the discovery of suits on netflix was the kind of binging situation I've ever experienced

The show was over when Mike Ross wasn't in the final season. It didn't have the same flare. It would have been nice to see some crossover when he went to Seattle.

It's not very good.

@@alphanerd7221 Thanks for your input, honey.

@@dirklerxstpratt2112 Tedious.

Nah

They actually gave her a spin-off series - Pearson - about her navigating the dirty politics of Chicago.

I agree. She's much calmer, calculative, strategic n powerful. I really admire her as the chessmaster. She's always 3 steps ahead of everyone who's trying to challenge her.

the turning point for me was when louis found out about mike and started treating rachel, donna and mike like an absolute swine (that he is). he should've been begging for their forgiveness on his knees after all the things he said and did to them in that period (especially rachel and donna) but as far as I remember he never even apologized

When Mike left the show, it made me lose some interest. Ended up finishing it up on Peacock anyway.

​@@phenix1947 That's the entire plot of the Luis character. He is a dick but he is so good at his job and making up, that people forgive him

Even I lost interest in the show at the time. But let me tell you, take a break for a few months and come back to watch the remaining seaons. The witty humor and dialogues are still there and trust me there are some hilarious Louis scenes you do not want to miss.

​@@philipchouliaras5879ye, not good enough. Always hated the way the writers always let Louis off so easy. It got better towards the end but up to him finding out and the resulting fallout was really annoying to watch.

It is. I watch it on Netflix. For the third time.

In the real world none of this would have happened because what Mike Ross did is NOT considered cheating, at least not at any of the four universities I have worked at. So since the cheating didn't happen Mike Ross went to Harvard got a law degree and aced the bar and just got hired the normal way, no suitcase full of weed involved. Remember what Mike Ross did was tell someone the questions he could remember (which is all of them) and his idea of the correct answers (probably the actual correct answers too) on an exam he had just finished writing. The prof. apparently did NOT change the answers from different sitting of the exam. The prof is an idiot who violated university policy and would be reprimanded, the students did would be fine. This is NOT an academic crime. They did NOT sneak in notes, steal answers, or anything. We expect students to talk about exams after they have written then. We expect they to ask each other "what did you put for question 13? I put a, did you put a?" This has been true for decades. Now we also expect student to put it up on social media. "OMG that was SOOO hard WHO EXPECTS STUDENTS to solve a WHOLE 4 atom molecule in 3 hours! H2O2 is CRAZY hard! ... so many symmetries! I don't think anyone actually finished!" The fact that Mike has a prefect memory so he is the best student to ask about the exam does NOT change the rules, just like you could ask a dumber person what they could remember and they can answer means Mike is free to reconstruct the whole test (also the prof probably KNOWS has has a student we near perfect recall in his class, you notice that type of thing, so he is doubly dumb). Obviously everyone talking about the "morning exam" gives any student writing the "afternoon exam" an advantage, which is way exams happen at the same time for everyone. It's even stronger then that, people CANNOT leave the room for the first 30 minutes after the start to allow for late admissions and no one can began an exam after someone has left. Some one leaving the room means the exam contents are "out" = know to the public and NO ONE WRITE AN "OUT" EXAM. This is basic proctoring at a university level. If exams/test/mid-terms CANNOT be scheduled at the same time they are changed from one seating to another, (make-ups are different tests! We have to make up a different test for you - BE NICE ABOUT IT) but this is discouraged because while answer to individual questions are not spoiled, general subject weights are (ie people would know to look at material in chapter 8!). I only know of ONE time when a student was allowed to write an unaltered test after the rest of the class, and this was because the his Dean made a BIG mistake with this student's schedule and created s BIG conflict with the test time, We gave the class ZERO restrictions, but that student was required to keep himself in the dark (so a Mike Ross in this case wouldn't have done anything wrong by exercising his free speech to speak about the exam), with the crazy schedule the dean put the kid on, that wasn't likely to happen anyway and it was just a few unit tests (no way would that have happened for an exam).

@@maggiemakgill Did you even watch the show? He went in with the ID of somebody else, identified as that person and then took the test. How is that not cheating? He also never past the bar as himself, which is required according to the show to work as a lawyer. How is that not cheating if he says he passed and never did? He also told everybody at work he graduated from Harvard, where he never even attended, because he would never have been hired without graduating Harvard. How is that not cheating/fraud?

@@maggiemakgill I'm not fully following as to what you're writing but it's only just a TV show. I'm only sharing an opinion based on my views. Because in the law fraternity being ethical in your approach to law is crucial for best practice and what Anita Gibbs portrayed is quite unethical and represents a serious conflict of interest and her rationality is compromised. But thanks for your essay.

@@degosoft Did YOU even watch the show? The whole using someone's ID thing That's what Mike does for money IN THE PRESENT since getting kicking out of college when he was pre-law and about to go to law school. "This is the dialoge Harvey: You want this job so much, why don't you just go to law school? Mike: When I was in college, it was my dream to be a lawyer. I needed some money and Trevor convinced me to memorize this math test and sell it. Turns out we sold it to the dean's daughter. I lost my scholarship, I got kicked out of school, I... I got knocked into a different life and I have been wishing for a way back ever since." My point is that if this had never happened or if only got the prof got in trouble, which is the more likely (why I open with "In the real world none of this would have happened because what Mike Ross did is NOT considered cheating"). Mike would have just gone to law school and had a normal career, no cheating of lying.

@@maggiemakgill Yeah and if his parents didn't die, he wouldn't have lived with his grandma and hear the bad lawyer offer a payment and never wanted to be lawyer in the first place. He might be flipping burgers, because that's where he could relax his mind. Going back to a single line in the entire 10 season show and changing that, is just strange and I didn't even consider that's what you were on a bout. Everything he does in the show until he goes to jail is either based on lies, cheating or fraud.

I was late too. Three months ago I started to watch it. Now I watch it a third time. If I don’t see an episode a week , I miss it.

@@utahdan231 …currently on Season 2…I try to watch 2 to 3 episodes a day🤣

Yeah, it’s laziness from the writers. This is one of the worst shows on TV. Its popularity baffles me.

@@dmjdmj then why are you here?

@@censor9832 To emphasize how terrible the show is. My intentions should be obvious. Maybe your perception is as bad as the writers of this show.

@@censor9832 to critique bad writing so they can improve

It's called deus ex machina.

Please don’t. Spare us from bad TV.

In Virginia. New York is a whole other beast.

HOLY CRAP

wasn't mike banned from harvard, which was the main problem with that?

@@PalmaCoconatto I think they could have called in some favors and make it work, due to the good realtionship between Harvard and Pearson&Hardmann

@@PalmaCoconatto you tell me their firm don’t have the leverage or connections to get this sorted out ? Come on. But that would kill the whole gig of the show so, not necessarily a bad thing.

@@rihcur And consultants can argue in court?

No Rachel, please.

I found it, Guiltfree by Bootstraps! 🎉

What about the Royal family destroyer wanna be?

@@owensmith3995 Forgettable. That character could have been played by anyone. Mediocre ability, you could see her 'acting.' The writing of Jessica's and Donna's characters was much better, as well as the two women's performances. Those two were so much better it was laughable.
