Wasn't that Mary Stuart Masterson? She has been in a lot of things. My favorite performance of hers was in Fried Green Tomatoes.

Shock spoilers!

Alicia's life as a FT WOHM is so glam and DC so self sufficient. somehow can't see my 40s / DCs' teenage years as a WOHM quite living up to it in UK commuterville!

Also, no-one is ever shown cooking or eating. All svelte workaholic lawyers with young masterchef DC!

aliciaflorrick - yes, also watching at US pace and saw the latest episode last week. I won't spoil it for others but i'm still getting my head round it!!! absolutely brilliant programme! still am like Shock whenever I think about it!

Oh, just scrolled back to read earlier messages and see there's a few of you who have watched 'the' episode of the century (or had it spoiled for you). So glad i hadn't read the plot line - it's a fantastic episode. Step away from Google if you're tempted - it's not worth it!

overthemill · 31/03/2014 18:01

dozer but you don't need food if you drink a much as they do...

Dozer · 01/04/2014 14:11

True overthemill, the tequila, wine, work and sex diet!

SpanishFly · 02/04/2014 13:54

I'm very very confused. In the UK, Diane was basically voted out of the company and Will wouldn't ever forgive her. Yet she's back at her desk like nothing ever hhappened. What exactly did I miss??!

overthemill · 02/04/2014 14:25

No she came back after peter passed her over for the Illinois Supreme Court. It was a nice episode. Just seen ep 16 of current season ( am going with US schedule not IK). Suffice to say I cried buckets.. Xx

SpanishFly · 02/04/2014 16:13

I must have only half paid attention to that episode. Presumably it was partly because she discovered which clients were leaving LG?

overthemill · 02/04/2014 17:04

Peter dumped Diane because she hurt Alicia. Alicia stealing clients. Diane unhappy . Peter retaliates. Eli not happy, not happy at all! Diane goes to will, wi says you can come back but on my terms I'm taking the firm places!

anonacfr · 02/04/2014 17:18

Yes that was a v low blow by Peter. I was v annoyed they didn't show Alicia's reaction to it.
I found in this series she has been so sanctimonious and victim-playing when quite frankly she doesn't have a leg to stand on. She lied directly to Will for weeks when he asked her repeatedly if she'd heard anything about the associates leaving.
Then she was all flirty just when he'd resigned himself that they were just friends.
Then she walks off and gets her son to steal company files via cloud? (Totally illegal)? She's been really shitty this season.

anonacfr · 02/04/2014 17:18

Even her reaction to what's happened in the States has been shitty.

SpanishFly · 02/04/2014 18:26

Could someone pm me to tell me where I can watch the US ones free of charge...?

SconeRhymesWithGone · 02/04/2014 18:41

Alicia is not nearly as nice as before and Eli has become a more sympathetic character. I think this has made the series even more interesting.

diddl · 02/04/2014 18:43

I'm on my tablet, Spanish and can't see how to pmConfused

SpanishFly · 02/04/2014 18:56

Thanks for the message diddl. I'm firing up the laptop as we speak!

SpanishFly · 02/04/2014 19:09

and I've inadvertently seen what happens... Gah. Ah well, I'll just watch the UK episodes now!!

TheDietStartsTomorrow · 03/04/2014 01:16

I just skipped ahead and the next few episodes. All I can say is wow. I was actually shaking and my heart was beating so hard as I watched it. I had to stop and remind myself that it's only acting and is all made up but I'm still agog.

Excellent, excellent episodes though I must say.

Dozer · 03/04/2014 16:40

You are all very naughty

Bue · 04/04/2014 13:24

Shock I completely missed that the judge was Mary Stuart Masterson! She looks completely different!

I have managed to avoid the spoiler so far. I can't imagine what it could be. The Good Wife is usually so... uncontroversial.

overthemill · 04/04/2014 14:06

Ooh bye, post back once you do see it. Dying to discuss it with someone. Think I held my breath through all of ep 16!

minniebar · 04/04/2014 16:29

Loved last night's episode (UK), despite Mr 'Top of the mornin!' Professional Oirish. Please be gone asap.

I thought the scene where Will was trying to prepare his cross-examination was great - so much said with just his expressions. I didn't think the actor actually had that much range!

TheDietStartsTomorrow · 04/04/2014 16:46

I think the way Alicia treats Peter is really shitty. She barely talks to him and hardly spends quality time with him. It's as though she feels that she's bestowing some great grace upon him by being his wife. Peter is also such a pushover in front of her.

I think if the roles were reversed and it was Peter who was always giving Alicia the cold shoulder it wouldn't have been tolerated. I know Peter slept around but he's really been well and truly apologetic about that and has not looked at another woman since. But after Will, she doesn't really have the right to use that as an eternal right to look down her nose at him.

I wouldn't be surprised if Peter had another affair. I'm not at all saying it would be okay for him to do so. But I do think that he gets no love at all from his own partner and whenever you have a marital situation devoid of any love and companionship then one of them will inevitably start looking elsewhere.

Do they even sleep together? They never do any real couple stuff like sit down and have a cup of tea together, or curl up in front of the tele, or sit in bed and have a conversation about something, or ring each other or text to say when he'll be home. They don't even tell each other they love each other.

They probably don't.

BranchingOut · 04/04/2014 16:59

I think they live in separate houses still?

minniebar · 04/04/2014 18:08

They seem to shag each other more than talk to each other!

'Peter hasn't shagged another woman since' - OR HAS HE?!!
