The Good Wife- run, Alicia, run! [edited by MNHQ to say NO SPOILERS PLEASE]

[BOFster]

Anyone watching?

I'm hoping that tonight's episode clears up my confusion quickly!

I hope this week progresses the Alicia:Finn UST (unresolves sexual tension) storyline, if only to give us all a flash of metaphorical ankle.

This is a really good episode. All those horrible men !

Good Alicia:Finn progression there - potentially. Working together would create lots of opportunities for chemistry.

That sleazy old man is urggggh, though. Grim.

I'm wondering if MNHQ should go with "all options are open to us and we'll get back within 48 hours'

It's a useful holding statement, for sure.

DH and I were quite annoyed by this episode - lawyers, of all people, would know not to put incendiary stuff like that in e-mails. So in that sense, it was way more unrealistic than usual.

Yes dustbunny that's what I thought. You could print ally work emails for years and find only find vague moaning occasionally. I nor my colleagues would ever write anything so inflammatory!

I agree List but at the same time, I do think there's such a degree of arrogance with the lawyers on the show, that those emails really wouldn't surprise me .

Good episode & totally agree re horrible men.

Love the holding statement - need to practise that one!!

Eli was fantastic in tonights episode. I love it when he goes apoplectic.

Yes Eli is the best. I love him!

Yes, they have electronic voting in Illinois.
Fill in the ballot paper, then it is scanned.

I think they also have an early voting system and you can vote 15 days in advance of the actual election date.

Thanks for that travelled! It's been annoying me!

I loved this week's episode. I agree that the emails were unrealistic but I loved the comedy it added. David Lee and Julius played it well! And Howard always makes me laugh/cringe!
Eli was brilliant and it was interesting to see how Alicia will have to learn how to handle people differently again. I'm pleased that Marissa is staying as I really love her character.
Alicia and Finn could be a good team but then are they too similar work wise? I think this will be one thing where she bows to Eli's judgement and it could cause problems for the personal relationship with Finn.

I think I'm a bit too invested in this programme!

I think it's just such a great, well written programme with such complex & likeable/fascinating characters & really fab actors we all get sucked into the whole 'what-if-ery' because the writers & actors are doing such a good job of getting us to care about the minutiae of the characters & storylines. I'm going to miss it when it stops

Completely agree the emails was a silly storyline, no-one of any intelligence puts anything inflammatory in a work email. The closest we ever get to putting something inflammatory in electronic form is sending a chat saying 'I've got gossip, come to my office'. Good fun though.

Did anyone notice last night when Kalinda was in the lift with whats-his-name, when she was in shot her hair was tucked behind her ears, when he was in shot, it wasn't. I know they do seperate/multiple takes for these things, but that really bugged me throughout the whole scene, and I'm not liking Alicia getting close to Peter again, and why does he always have to come in and save her?!

Well that was a busy episode! Can someone remind of what Petra was involved in on the show in past series? I remember seeing her before and her causing problems but can't remember exactly what she was after. Was she involved in the Peter vote rigging story? Or was she trying to out them as having a fake marriage? Or something totally different.

I found it interesting that Kalinda went to Finn. How is Alicia going to feel about Kalinda and Finn now having secrets between them after how she reacted to Kalinda and Peter? Although that was obviously a bit different as it was sexual.

I loved that Diane got more screentime again. I love her! I think that thing about her being possibly disbarred/ imprisoned is so unfair! Although it is quite ironic that she could be jailed for something she presented to save Cary from jail.

Also-you've got to love Eli and his eyebrows!

Missed that as I was typing my previous essay!

Yes- I agree about the Peter thing. Although I did like Petra's bumbling as she realised she'd been fooled by Eli. Her comeback made quite the statement though!

Yes I do love Diane getting a lot of screen time outside of the courtroom or her office, she is easily my favourite character, I'm a bit worried for her with this whole evidence thing! It was nice to see a bit more of Finn again too.

This season has been quite ploddy, but I'm guessing it's going to kick off big time for the last few episodes and they'll all have to rally together, as the usual cast have all been very separate this time around.

I quite like the Reese character. Diane needs a sparring partner.

Finn was looking very hot in this episode. Kalinda is screwed.

I wonder if Eli has been messing with the ballots again. There was also lots of Eli action today which is never a bad thing. Was missing Jonny though as he is almost Eli's sparring partner.

Not sure I agree with this at all. Firstly, Kalinda's husband was the worst character ever in the Good Wife. Secondly, Jonny was hot. Secondly I quite liked his character.

Halle - what is that link? It's coming up as blocked spam on my iPhone.

Its a link to a blog that came up when I googled Johnny leaving GW. I don't think its dodgy as it was one of the top results....

Interesting. I'll try again tomorrow.

Sorry, haven't read the whole thread. I'm just watching the last episode. Was that a Scientology advert? Was that real?
