Ok - I love this show and I'll watch it no matter what. Yes, even when this one character that I don't particularly care for happens to show up. She was introduced last season and I have yet to figure exactly what her purpose on the show is, other than irritating the fuck out of Mike. And really, if that's her purpose? There are like a zillion other better ideas.

Spoilers for the above listed episode beneath the cut.



So, forget the bit where I just don't like her. Let's talk about how whiny she is.

Harvey stops in to tell Katrina to fuck right off to hell for being an immature douche about Mike. (For those reading who don't know what she did, she took a photo of Mike and looks like she used one of those 'upload ur photo to make a neat video' thing like the Elf-yourself one, but it's way more stupid - like, idek.)

Katrina then fires back with 'you hired me but then you don't give me cases and you don't say a word to me' - or some bullshit.

Let's stop right there.

Katrina - the reason Harvey doesn't give you shit to do is because:

a) his associate is Mike Ross, not you
b) he isn't going to spoon feed you shit - you're a goddamned FIFTH YEAR - which you have pointed out to everyone in the goddamned firm except Jessica
c) he doesn't like you b/c you blackmailed he and Mike to get the fucking job that you have now - the fact that you could spill some beans about Mike breaking privilege is mostly moot at this point
d) every time you open your mouth, you sound like a whiny, entitled child

See, Harvey Specter doesn't *give* anyone anything. They have to earn it. So far, Katrina, you haven't. In fact, you've done your damnedest to insult and berate and belittle anyone and everyone who doesn't outrank you. You play stupid pranks and steal people's work. Is that how they do it over at the DA's office? (No, I don't know why I'm addressing this *to* the character... shut up.)

I'm not sure what, exactly, the aim with this character was from the PTB standpoint, but OMG, is she annoying. I think what irks me the most - other than her stupid logic that isn't logical - is that all the OTHER women on this show are awesome and strong and could kick all the men's asses if they wanted to (and some of them have). But Katrina - she's written like the stereotypical 'strong woman' who's really just a heinous bitch that nobody likes. Yes, there are people like that, but she just gives off this 'we don't know how to write strong women' vibe that I *know* is bullshit, b/c there are 3 strong women in the main cast already. So, yeah, mostly - I'm just confused about Katrina. Oh - and I don't like her.

However? I love love LOVE the webisode videos over on http://classaction.usanetwork.com! (this year's version of Suits Recruits) XD
