Finally got around to watching Season 9. This is how I would imagine Donna and Rachel's phone call from the beginning of episode 1 going in the real world had Rachel actually picked up

Finally got around to watching Season 9. This is how I would imagine Donna and Rachel's phone call from the beginning of episode 1 going in the real world had Rachel actually picked up.

Donna

The more I see of Donna the more I am convinced that she is the most arrogant, over-rated character in the series. Also, for all that self-styled I-am-the-greatest-reader-of-people, she can't for sure speak two straight and right sentences under pressure, especially in the court.

This is mildly ruining the experience while watching the show, every time a file is given to a character, they take a look at it for 0.5 seconds, and know everything about it, every single detail. Is it really that hard to take 5 seconds to look at the damn file?

The music

I ended up looking up songs from certain episodes, and I really want to know who chose music for the show...

End Of An Era

Just finished the series for the first time! What an exceptional show 👏🏾 I'm glad they closed off all the storyline and made true the wishes we had for each character.
