Donna and Jessica, i love them so much. non love interests and insanely complex ladies in their own rights. I only caught the first half but i'll be watching the rest soon.
I saw some fic them donna/jessica as a side pairing. It was sentinal!Mike/Guide!Harvey and they were the other major s/g pair in the firm. *grin*
Mm, Rachel is really cool. It just seems like all of her scenes rotate around her relationship with Mike, whereas Jessica and Donna's scenes are all their own. Maybe that's part of it. I find myself disliking women who are there to be love interests. It's just a weird prejudicial quirk of mine that I need to get over.
I have the same issue. Mostly because i really do prefer ladies that dont' revolve around their love interests. Rachel is very awesome when she's not all about that love triangle. Jenny's getting on my nerves. Mike's trying to get away from things, and what i saw? she wants to drive him back INTO the drama in the worst way.
My first fandom was wonder woman, and her life was her mission, not her guy. She had the dude in distress so early and i loved it. I couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 when i saw the Lynda Carter show reruns in the 80s. It's kind of influenced me in my lady super heroes and female characters in everything, ever since. So seeing women being written as only love interests/non plot drivers annoys me. Even in such a good show as Suits.
Okay, great to know I'm not the only one. Sometimes people tell me I don't like the love interest because I have my own ships and she's 'threatening,' and it's like, um NO.
This might be the reason Jenny got on my nerves too. There's this sense that Mike 'saved' her from Trevor and subsequently 'won' her, and I'm not even going to TOUCH that mediaeval 'save the princess' concept.
The cast has hinted that Rachel will have more of a role with Donna in the future, and I'm looking forward to that. I just hope it won't be like this episode, where they were just there to talk about her relationship with Mike. Bechdel test much?
