Eh?

Whatever happened to being a little subtle? Well, I've never disagreed more to an article. And I feel horrendously, horribly awful that this was the SECOND search option when I googled 'Suits usa'. :(

We're supposed to believe Harvey would endanger his career because he thinks he can use Mike's abilities to advance his clients' interests and because he sees something of himself in Mike. (What you may see is the vague outlines of White Collar, a far superior USA series.)




But the idea never takes hold because there's nothing in Macht's Harvey that convinces you he would risk so much just to serve as a mentor, or anything in Adams' Mike to make you think he's worth the risk.

As far as I saw(and as dumb as I may be) Harvey was tired of the Harvard geeky guys, and wanted a change, which I find perfectly believable to lie for, considering he's a lawyer and considering his character. And though I hate (hate) to admit it, White Collar does have a ton of flaws here and there, which of course I forget about because of Tim and Matt and Willie and all the other cast, and because YOU CAN'T BE ACCURATE IN THESE TYPE OF SHOWS. What, do ppl want to see the long dragging trials, and a typical FBI case? 

And I really enjoy Harvey, and Mike's adorable. 

People think Suits is like White Collar. Same network. Two guys are the main cast. So? 

Neal and Peter have a formal relationship. They get under each other's skin, they care about each other, but I'd still say they respect each other. Harvey and Mike are 100 90% informal, and their language is nothing like WC.

Fist Bumps!

I wasn't feeling that good after yesterday's bombings, so I took my time and tried to look at all the fist bumps between my favorite characters.


These two do it often, too.


Hee! This is close to the best!


Cute! 

Fist bumps have a history, too! So cooler than handshakes.

Mumbai attacked. Again.

Even though you think you’re safe in your house, the weird, insecure, sick feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you find out a major city in your country is being bombed right 'now' is dklanscklncjsd;kncklnas.

On November 11th, 2008, more than 10 bombing and shooting attacks were coordinated across Mumbai by Islamic terrorists. The locations include The Taj Mahal Palace, a five-star luxury hotel next to the Gateway of India; the Oberoi Trident, another pair of luxury hotels, and the Cama hospital, a major hospital for women and children. 

That day, my senior, who was in twelfth grade, and I, in tenth, were listening to the news over the radio in the hostel. They were attacking live,bombing and shooting. In Mumbai. We were in Chennai.

Worse?

I called my parents because I was feeling torn up. My Dad seemed a little broken himself, and it was believable with the type of emotional guy he is, and the way the death toll was rising with nothing to stop them.

When I asked him if that was why he was feeling bad, he told me that they were in Mumbai. And the phone, as if on queue, got cut.

They were safe. But the amount of shock I went through cannot be expressed. The distance, the pressing uncertainty that you think they're just lying so you won't feel sad, and a million of other feelings put together - it'll make you nauseous. 

Today I saw in the news that three bomb blasts occurred in Mumbai again, and the Union Home Ministry says it's another terrorist attack. Makes one sick. 

Death toll is rising. I wonder when the world will become a safe place to live in. *shakes head*

Veiled Threat and what it did to my head - White Collar.

As if I already didn’t love Peter Burke. This episode made me DIZZY. *sways* SO much of guh-ness.


And for the record, Sara Ellis has officially grown on me. Yeah. Guess I just can’t hate a person my whole life. She’s good for Neal, and she makes him happy; maybe she’ll even become a reason for him to stay, so I guess I don’t really mind her anymore.
This definitely was a nice episode, thanks to Jim Campolongo, the writer. Very entertaining. Very awesome.
I mean, Peter TANGOED. 


I can’t even. *heartfluttersdamnit*
I was horribly spoiled for this one, so when I started, I assured myself that I’m not going to like it that much.
But I was thankfully wrong! To me, this filled the void I felt when Sara was around – some weird, weird feeling I felt during almost every single episode after 2.05. Something I couldn’t place my finger on. I remember the day I saw that promo featuring Neal and Sara in the archives of Ellis island. I even remember being pissed off a lot, because I kept thinking, come on, even you? in the middle of classes. (yeah. Chemistry classes.)


Well, for one thing, I could compare myself to Madchen Amick’s character in the one aspect that she liked honesty and the truth more than the fake charms some people brought just to impress people. I’m not a very honest person myself in some issues, but I do look for that in a person. So if I was her, I definitely would have done the same thing. And that’s what Peter always was, right? Lovable for his awkwardness and special ability to impress.
El was amazing to assure him that his chances for winning weren’t slim. She was amazing to say that she would marry him as many times as he asked. They’re perfect together. And every time that lady turned her back, I could see her eyes drill holes into her.


He was amazing in that scene with Selena, where the bachelors had to go to every table. As embarrassing as it is for me to admit it, I was horribly moved that there was actually a character who could say that he liked being caught off guard at a place like that. 

"Most of these women are only interested in small talk, so..."
She: Well, what are you interested in?"
He: *surprised for a while* Being caught off guard. Having a conversation that goes beyond the 'what you do' and 'where are you from'.
Something in her eyes go all <3. Doesn't even seem like an act. To me - not cliche. Because that was what Peter would want. Something smart and not just usual, simple flirt-talk.



And he didn’t even want her to pick him. He assumed she would pick Neal or Jones.


<3ed the whole surveillance Neal-Diana 'decent meal' thing. 









With the electric candle! Hee!



People on twitter said this was a very Peter/Elizabeth/Neal episode? I couldn’t see anything of that sort. I’m not a fan of the ‘OT3’ thing many, many people seem to love.
Mozzie! It was so ‘Mozzie’ to barge in without even noticing those two, and then to be the wedding-whatever(not familiar to Christian weddings) for Peter and Elizabeth. And the money! Aw... *remembers that awesome day Tim tweeted*

I want to see Peter's marriage. The first one. :) Including the bachelor party. Man, the women were crazy! :D 

Snapshots of the second marriage:




Me: *intears*






Whatever was missing in my head in the WC dept was filled up by this episode. :) It was nice to not bring up the whole, 'ooh-he's-the-look' thing between the two(although I don't mind that a bit, this is so nice of a change), and have an episode without the back story to distract us. 
<3. Definitely.

So.

Guh. It's that time I hate. ONE WHOLE WEEK for the next episode.
I hate Wednesdays.

um.. neva been good with titles.?

Infiltration

Usually people just barge into concrete walls with some explosives or driving through with an armored vehicle, however, it attracts a lot of unwanted attention. A subtle way to do the same is by using a water jet cutter. You could cut through a wall while a guy is sleeping on the other side of it. :D


Shock n awe!

According to Hitch(the movie; character), this method is used to draw the attention of the one you like towards you by standing out from the rest. But its the other way round here. In case you want to stop your enemies from functioning against you,  the simplest way is to handicap their senses. A couple of flash grenades come in handy here.
The sound it creates, disables them from moving voluntarily(ears are responsible for the balance of the body, when hindered, leaves the person unstable). The bright temporary flash blinds 'em, so they cant shoot, if they do, they might hurt their own people.

Obstacles

If you are not willing to kill people, focused on the jackpot, then to deal with the people who escape the above play can be dealt with bean bag shots.
(Left-Before projectile;Right-After projectile)
When shot at a close range(10 feet), it can break the ribs and cause concussion elsewhere along with agony. Hence it impairs their thought process, giving you enough time to bind them with plastic loops(cheapest, most effective; if you aren't a spendthrift).

Extraction

Opening steel crates can be a drag, using an explosive can damage the content, so here's something that might help.
Jaws of life - Hydraulic rescue tool

These tools are used by fire fighters to open jammed doors, crashed cars. And it is very powerful, hydraulic physics :| Anyway, steal it from a fire fighters training institute, use it. ;) [hsshh.. Don't tell anyone that I gave you this idea :| ]

Outdoors

As much as the cowboy fights, loud gunshots and machine-gun maniacs seem fun, it isn't a smart way to deal with the enemy. One of the safest, smartest, most accurate and lethal way of doing that is by sniping. A sniper rifle is a long, heavy gun with an awesome range.
A scope used to aim
A real view of a target through the scope, notice the distance.

Used for assassinations and also as your back up, just in case someone tails you. 
The longest kill recorded is nearly 2.5 kilometers. o.O Imagine that!

Hollow point


hollow point is an expanding bullet that has a pit or hollowed out shape in its tip, generally intended to cause the bullet to expand upon entering a target in order to decrease penetration and disrupt more  as it travels through the target. It is also used for controlled penetration, where over-penetration could cause collateral damage (such as on an aircraft). In essence, the hollow point bullet has two interrelated purposes: to increase its size once within the target, thus maximizing tissue damage and blood loss or shock, and by remaining in the target to expend all of its kinetic energy in the target, some of which will be lost if the bullet continues through the target.


Am sure most people don't know what "hollow point" is when it comes on tv. :/

History


I don't know if you observed a finger missing, if you didn't, look at the picture again. Centuries ago, some assassination brotherhoods used this hidden weapon. In order to utilize it, they had to sacrifice their ring finger. Later the system was improvised, facilitating them to use the blade without chucking out the finger.
In the hands of an assassin, the blade is the most deadly weapon. With the knowledge of human anatomy, an accurate stab into the coronary artery in the neck or next to the heart or the liver or the kidney or the femoral artery, the options are wide, each of which are lethal.
Yes, a bullet to the head from a silenced gun gives the same result. But if you are looking for vengeance, a crime of passion, use a blade. Perk- Untraceable(though untraceable guns are available, a blade is very much affordable) 

Miscellaneous

When you find yourself in an un-armed close combat and your opponent is big n strong, you can still win.
First, the weak point. Cripple them by kicking the knee.
Second, know what you are doing. The coronary artery carries blood to the brain n it is located on the side of the neck, wrap your hand around the opponent's neck n crush the SIDE! If you crush the throat, they'd suffocate n die, and you don't want that. =_=" If you hold that position irrespective of your currently ripening opponent(their face will turn red, usually) for 10 seconds, the person will black out. B) And in that lock, the opponent cannot really do much to free themselves.
So if you end up being locked in such a manner, there's not much you can do. Although, if you are sharp, the moment you realize that your opponent is going to do that to you, pull their arm away from you the moment it starts to wrap around ya. You got a chance.

Suits. Episode 2.

Wow. 
I'm loving this show more and more by the episode. It's amazingly original, and the dialogue is awesome. Nothing is cheesy or cliche.
Yeah, sure. I KNOW it's not accurate, however a rookie I am in the law department. But it's entertainment, and the show wouldn't stand a chance if each and every detail of a trial or a typical day for a lawyer was put in. Like in White Collar. So I'm not really going to be pointing out mistakes, even if I see one.

The two of them, with a client named Wyatt, walk to a room with lots of people, and Harvey turns around before Mike enters, blocking him.


"Whoa, wait - where do you think you're going?


Mike: Into the room, with the big people.


Harvey: Wrong, that's the adult table, and you haven't earned the privilege yet. 


Mike: But[!], I played air hockey, with them-
Harvey: You need to go back to the office and file a patent for the phone.


Mike: *eyes the room and laughs* A patent? But I don't know how to file a patent.
Harvey: *shrugs* Figure it out.
Mike: Can't we do that, after -
Harvey: No. And if you keep talking, I'm going to start billing you, and my time runs at a hundred dollars an hour.


"Yes, but isn't this 'our time', Mr. Hand?"
Harvey smiles at him for a while. 



"I stand corrected." he says. And I think he's going to let him in, since I have no idea what Mike had said.

"Your Fast Times at Ridgemont High quote, that - proves, you belong at the adult table." 
He turns around.


Mike: That's a great -


"- movie, and it spoke to a generation!"




And the elevator scene was somehow PRICELESS. Mike kinda gets high.







ding.





ding, ding. 
:D
