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

[BOFster]

Anyone watching?

I know whether or not Finn is back in next series. Too much of a spoiler to post it?

I'm interested to know. Let's see what the others say.

I'm interested to know too! Will be upset if he isn't, getting a bit bored of Alicia denying herself happiness with another man that isn't Peter!

Yes I'd like to know too

Just google: matthew goode season 7 good wife

All will be revealed.

Just googled it Dust. Thought the related article about Alicia & Kalinda not filming the final scene together was interesting as when I was watching it I thought that they weren't together.

Me too owl!

Yes had my suspicions about that final scene with Kalinda .

I'd love to know what their beef is about, but they are doing a good job of keeping it under wraps.

Me too Dust - until this thread I hadn't even noticed they'd not had a scene together & not read anything about it at all.

I feel particularly unobservant now, as one of those articles said they hadn't been in a scene together for several years!

As a complete aside, did anyone else see Archie Panjabi making a complete horlicks of the award she was presenting at the BAFTAs? She was either very, very nervous or impaired by drink etc. She started reading from the results card before they'd even started the showreel with the nominees & clips. It was cringeworthy.

I thought she seemed nervous rather than drunk tbh but totally agree it was a mess!

Apparently Archie Panjabi knew she was leaving two seasons ago, it must have been a hell of an argument!

Totally agree chipped - would love to know as seems very strange for professionals to not be able to sort it out!

Ok Archie Panjabi is brittish right? She must spend sometime in this country? Maybe we can collectively track her down and corner her until we find out what the argument was about because I HAVE TO KNOW!

Just watched the last episode. There is no way Alicia and Canning can go into partnership if Alicia is serious about setting up some sort of moral law firm where they work to do good.

I don't think she is finished with Cary yet, there is still a strong working relationship there and I can see them back together.

Whatever happens I hope Alicia and Peter go public that there marriage is over next season.

I think Peter will go ahead with his VP bid, despite Alicia saying she didn't want to do it. His ego is certainly big enough to think he can railroad them through. I think you are right that she may blow the lid on their separation.

I agree Dust - he'll do whatever he wants as he's a selfish individual through & through.

I'm a bit about that whole season. I can't even see what the point of the campaign bid storyline was as it's all been for naught! And I was looking forward to Alicia shaking things up in the SA's office. I think her one one side of the law and Agos-Lockhart-Lee-Whoever would have been interesting.

Colour me extremely unobservant because I also hadn't noticed how long it had been since Alicia and Kalinda had shared a scene. They pulled the wool over my eyes with those phone calls they were always having!

My other burning question is, how have they managed to keep the Peter-Alicia separation a secret for this long? I get that it makes it easier to hide since technically he is meant to live in Springfield away from the family (although why is his office in Chicago??), but really, NO ONE has blown this story open yet?

I liked the SA storyline as I thought it did well at depicting just how corrupt & cut throat politics actually is & goes some way to explaining how Peter is - there's no room for niceness & it's a case of 'joining' rather than beating them. Not making excuses for him, but think it shows that if he were any different, likely he wouldn't be as successful. Horrible!

Have caught up now.

So Finn hates failing so is trying again with his ex. He still fancies Alicia so can't work with her.

Kalinda got off the hook as she played Lester a bit.

Canning hates the remaining partners and wants to get revenge.

I thought Alicia and K weren't in scenes together because of the whole Peter thing I didn't realise about the actresses falling out.

I wonder if Robin will be in it more next season.

Its not been the greatest season but still love it. Niles was great. Eli was a legend and under used in some of the lady episodes.

Perhaps the Peter thing was cooked up to explain their antipathy.

getting a bit bored of Alicia denying herself happiness with another man that isn't Peter!

Me too! For God's sake stop being such a martyr, Alicia. Mind you, to be fair I think she was actually gearing up to get over it and make a move on Finn if he hadn't suddenly gone all coy on her.

I thought Archie P was sweet at the BAFTAS, and nervous rather than pissed. I did wonder if she hadn't been briefed/rehearsed though.

I quite like the idea of Alicia and Louis working together. Worlds collide.

I agree that Peter will go ahead with his VP bid and about his ego. I'm sick of him and Eli pulling Alicia's strings and I badly want them to get their comeuppance.

Sadly, I suspect that it won't happen; this show is too good at being equivocal and nuanced and not just simplistic and black and white, dammit.

And please no more Lemond Bishop in the next series.

Just thought isn't Finn playing Lady Mary's new love interest in Downton??? If so is he still going to be in TGW?
