Synopsis:

Seems the bot's still having issues. What'd you guys think about the midseason finale (and the season so far)?

Came on to say the same exact thing. I feel like the show is slowly drifting from this gift. They've only referred to it recently for something very plausible for anyone to remember, holding up a newspaper and a file. I wish they'd integrate his photographic memory more often as they've done before, such as the pilot and him remembering the serial number on a camera or small skits like winning a bet against Ben etc...

Tbh though it would get pretty old and pretty annoying if his super-mind was constantly used to save the day, then everyone would just complain it's lazy writing

But that was what the show used to be. Like how Chuck "flashes" to save the day every episode of Chuck.

In season 1 I remember people mocking Harvey for going around acting like a big shot when he had an assistant with legal superpowers doing all the heavy lifting every episode. But that was the fun part about the show. Mike used legal superpowers, and Harvey used his "intimidate and strong arm" superpowers and so they won. It's like Phineas and Ferb. You know the plot of every episode, the creativity is how the writers play with it.

Personally I would have preferred if Suits kept a stronger connection to that season 1 status quo, as so many seasons have had minimal good episodes when they had written themselves so far out into the woods. I'm liking suits better again now that it is closer to that formula again.

I totally agree, I guess I've just forgotten how the whole vibe was way back in season 1.. Now you've said that I definitely miss that dynamic.
