I cringe a little bit whenever the writers feel the need to bandy about the names of various Ivy League schools in this show. Pop culture plays a very significant role in defining how our schools are viewed, and given Suits' popularity in younger demos, I worry we come across as constantly namedropping egomaniacs.

Ottobar's pretty amazing. I'd never seen a live show before I went to see Future Islands there in my sophomore year of college and it was amazing. Since my school's within walking distance of it, I try to go as often as possible now that I know of it's existence. 

Dark and prestigey Scandinavian stuff has been right up my alley lately, so I'll have to check out Call Girl. I also really enjoyed Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, so all the more reason to watch this.

I noted how unrealistic it was to get all of those season one people back for this trilogy, and immediately disregarded that fact due to the sheer awesomeness of a Farscape heist episode.

Very strongly agree with this. Most other genre sci-fi goes around world building in a very structured manner with the writers doling out bits a pieces of information within a somewhat defined framework.

This was bothering me too. I don't why that suddenly changed.

I'm with @eric827:disqus on this one. I think the show's intent is to say that by unsuccesfully shooting her sister's killer, Hank's left her unable to reach closure.

Can't be. He was with Sonya retrieving the girl tied up in the desert while the FBI guy was having his head chopped off.

The only notable exception being Loretta on Justified. I was so happy that she got out alive.

I got the impression that the controversy wasn't so much that Troels was gay as it was that he was secretly gay while also being married with children. The former I imagine would be perfectly acceptable. The latter requires a bit of explanation at the very least.

While I certainly feel that Kim was unfairly treated, he wasn't actually fired. He was simply reassigned elsewhere, presumably with the same pay.

The law school admissions storyline with Rachel is also infuriating. She didn't get into Harvard but she's going to get into Yale?

On the other hand, Rachel's dad had just made a joke and Mike is a poster child of privilege with the Harvard Law degree and fancy white shoe job in NY. As someone who's currently going to school with the Ivy League set, I can see how it would be easy for someone to have spent so much time with these people anything

I guess I wasn't clear enough. I love the big logo in all it's bold and sans serif glory. I think it's a fantastic and minimalistic alternative to the title sequence that you see in American television.

I have a small nit to pick.

I was initially expecting a murder mystery, but by the time we were through the opening sequence where the dad says hello to just about everyone in town, it was clear that this was about the town and not Danny. I would hope others who come across the show come to the same conclusion because as you said, that makes

As a plot device they're obviously red herrings, but from a character perspective they're also an opportunity to explore the communal and individual response to violent and tragic loss.

That was the worst. I understand that rape humor exists and provided its well executed it can be the right kind of self-disgusted funny but this one just didn't go anywhere. Putting joke in quotes is exactly right. It was using rape purely for shock value with no humor whatsoever.

I'd never seen him before and instantly disliked him. Maybe I'm just a pretentious snob, but I think being funny involves being a little more higher brain function than pulling down your pants and yelling "Right guys?."

I got the impression that he was genuinely pissed at the firecracker stunt Andre pulled. Not only is that kind of stuff is not safe in an uncontrolled fashion, it also exposes the show to some pretty serious liability. It wasn't very funny either.
