Harvey Specter, Meet Mike Ross | Suits

bro, seeing how much louis phisically changed from s1 till the end is incredible, even his face was completly different

[@hddragon]

Because he muds

[@savegas2008]

S1 is the exception. S3+ is his normal look from all his previous roles. Your perception is he grew rounder. But reality is he shrunk to very skinny before filming this. I remember a part he had in one of the CSIs in the 2000s, he was more round then, than S1 suits.

[@imogenonscreen8054]

True I'm sure if Harvey had Jessica meet Mike she'd have agreed to hire him as a paralegal too and after he proved his skills at the firm with all of Harvey and Jessica's connections you'd think getting him into a law school wouldn't have been a problem.

[@nemdenemam9753]

Yeah, thats pretty much my biggest strife with the show. It added so much unnecessary drama that I think really hindered the show. The best parts are when Mike and Harvey work on a case, not when the nth person finds out their secret so they have to scurry again

It was the gloves. I don't know how I never spotted that, but it was the gloves. The hotel employee at the entrance, pushing the cart, was wearing gloves. It's therefore reasonable to assume that all employees are required to wear gloves, this being a high-end hotel. Which makes it deeply suspicious when one of the employees of this high-end hotel - which is reasonable to assume is very strict with the employees to assure high quality service for all customers - doesn't wear gloves. Everything else escalates from there. Mike suspects he's not a real employee, so he asks an innocent question. Any employee would have known the pool facilities are closed, so the answer gives him certainty this isn't an employee. So he asks for the time, knowing the movement would reveal any gun hidden in an obvious spot.
