1. I try to keep politics discussion to twitter and to face2face, but if you're really frustrated and pained by the level of bullshit that's going on, take care and you're not alone

Oh, Mike. At least this time, I'm less nervous since instead of "MIKE YOU'RE GOING TO DESTROY THE LIVES OF YOURSELF AND EVERY OTHER CHARACTER" it's more like "Oooh, Harvey is going to be PISSED."
Feel free to squee on the XMen movie - I am not finding many people who loved it :) I loved Pietro, I thought this Jean was the best yet in the movies, I LOVE that Raven had to deal so very uncomfortably with being a role model, so many things.
True, but he's also kind of risking being disbarred, and I think it's the cumulative effect. He said he learned from prison, but he just keeps on doing shit. He's got more lives than a cat at this point.
YES Pietro was absolutely awesome. I loved all of it. I really enjoyed how they showed the true expansive nature of Charles and Erik's powers and how devastating they could be. I loved the way Erik switched sides and helped put the mansion back together. I loved the whole beginning of Erik trying to live a normal life, and knowing all the police people as friends, the poetic symmetry, oh my heart. Yes, I loved Jean. And Raven.
Yes, Charles and Erik's powers were great here. And the moment Charles told the whole world to protect those without power - AMAZING. I really wanted more of a reaction shot from Erik. And the way Raven and Charles wanted to help Erik as soon as they found out what happened.
I agree on Mike that he's not changing - like he knows now that he cares about justice and wants it to be his priority, but he wouldn't have lied to Harvey like that in the past. Anyone else, but not Harvey. Also he just seems so comfortable lying now, like you said, and I think that's why Rachel is so worried.
Oh YES DEFINITELY THAT MOMENT Charles saying that was so wow and yes, there needed to be so much more Erik reaction. And yes, them wanting to help Erik straight away was so touching and Charles' conversation with Erik, so wonderfully heartbreaking.
Yeah, it's like lying has become his default setting. It's like the lesson he's learned is he will always be able to get around things and get what he wants. He's trying to do good so in his mind the ends justify the means.
Yes, suits is awesome. Love Mike, but he is so so ridiculous, he never learns.
Oooh fics!

I think I need to rewatch really.
