Really good this series I think!

Why is she not all over Will? Why is she keeping him at a distance when for so long she a relationship with him?

Is it too obv to say I think the tutor will start a relationship with the daughter?

I don't get Eli's role in the firm. I like him as a character, I just get where he fits in?

I don't know about the tutor she doesn't seem like a 'baddie' its very confusing! And why don't people know that's she split with Mr Freakishly-large-head when it would be so justifiably ok!! I don't see why in any sensible RL law office they would subcontract Eli, its bizarre and makes NO sense. But I like him being there. Have serious lady crush on the detective (am v bad with names...)

Kalinda! and so I do, but mine dates back to her ER days Blush

Grin @ Freakishly-large head. I thought I knew why it was a secret but now you've mentioned it, I can't remember .... Is it because of his position as SA?

Cary was looking v. gorgeous in this weeks episode I thought!

I think it is to do with his job but who gives a fuck! What's that to her?? Kalinda makes me want to wear shiny boots and little skirts, but I would look like a transvestite hobbit prostitue :( I'm already confused by tonights, damn mumsnet.

I'm so behind, I watched last week on catch up, and just realised there is another on today! Sorry for being so useless

HurricaneBawbag · 23/02/2012 21:45

I loved the first series, haven't managed to get into this one. Started watching Suits instead.

HurricaneBawbag · 23/02/2012 21:46

Think I got bored after the 'will they / won't they' turned into 'they did'!

I am going off Will. He looks a bit pathetic. Not sure why. Before he was all manly or summat.

He's going a bit childish and surly rather than manly and suave...odd. Possibly too distracted with MN today but did not enjoy that ep.

Lovefilm is a postage dvd rental service -
(usual HQ disclaimers apply)
I am a season behind I think...about 1/2 through season 2

Bue · 26/02/2012 15:18

I thought the last two episodes were great. Unfortunately they just don't seem able to craft a decent storyline for Grace and Zack - it just meanders between Grace and her Christian thing and now this random dancing tutor bit - I mean, what is that all about? It's all pointless and never goes anywhere.

Am enjoying Caitlin though and I always love when that dippy but brilliant female lawyer makes an appearance!

Bue · 26/02/2012 15:20

hookaduck, Kalinda wasn't in ER! You're thinking of the woman who played Neela, I think, who was also in Bend It Like Beckham!

bettyboo83 · 26/02/2012 15:22

I love this programme! My DH, ahem, acquired the current series so I'm a bit ahead of you lot but I won't spoil it. I also admit to having a girl crush on Kalinda!

TracyK · 26/02/2012 15:26

I think Caitlin is angling to get Will - don't you? She seems a bit the hand that rocked the cradle type.

Agree that the Grace thing is clutching at straws - she was watching the nutty christian guy on the web last series - why drag it back up now??

They should keep to the story lines that are of interest!

beeny · 26/02/2012 15:26

Good I can have Will he is gorgeous

hookaduck · 26/02/2012 17:57

I have inadvertently revealed two girl crushes Blush

And it would seem I have a type ...

quickhide · 26/02/2012 18:04

Ooh I love Good Wife! Definitely more into Cary than Will this season. Love Eli's character, Alan Cummings is fab in this. But does anyone else think it's absurd that he is supposed to be straight?! Maybe I just watched too much The High Life as a teenager...

beeny · 26/02/2012 19:00

Caitlin is definitely after Will but he is mine

cybbo · 26/02/2012 19:35

LOve the good wife

I like the way you have to REALLY LISTEN or you will miss something crucial

Llareggub · 26/02/2012 19:41

Sod Will. It is Eli all the way for me, though I think the female partner who was in Mamma Mia just has the edge. She is definitely my girl crush.

Love The Good Wife. I hope it continues past this season.

Finbar · 27/02/2012 21:59

Love it to bits!
Eli is brill. Cary is known as the Sixth Former in our house -sooo young!

Did anyone else's heart jump when Alicia's phone went off that inopportune moment? "Mummy Pick up. Mummy pick up."
OMG!

OMG you are all ahead of me I think
