Reply #5: It's so much better now [View All]

than it was last season--or the last two seasons.

Here is what I think will happen before the spinoff starts: Spader sues the firm for wrongful termination (with Tara as a co-litigant). Eugene, Jimmy, and Eleanor hire Bobby Donnell to represent them against Spader, who represents himself. Donnell loses the suit....hugely, because Linda Hunt returns as a judge for the episodes (she isn't getting enough work playing Alice B. Toklas, ya know). In fact, they lose so badly that the firm has to be liquidated and Jimmyhas to contemplate a way to buy suits at the big and tall man store without a lawyer's salary. He ends up in the last scene back at the bank he worked in during the first episode and he has the indignity of receiving Spader's deposit of the check from the suit.
