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

[BOFster]

Anyone watching?

They have to have MJF appear at some point, maybe next week when Diane gets her hands on the offices.

I love Elspeth but not sure if we saw her every week she'd be as fab. Willing to give it a go though, and YY to more Robyn, love her episode last series when she made herself indispensible.

Elspeth would be irritating if full time character.

Who was the one who had a baby? What happened to her?

I love the show. Not sure if I love Finn.

I can't remember the character's name, but the sly lawyer with the baby was played by Martha Plimpton. Great character.

I've been wondering if MJF has been more unwell as there seems to have been lots of scenes that he could have been in IYKWIM...

Same here Kondo.

Patty Nyholm is the crafty attorney.

I love David Lee so much. The one where he's wearing the Admirals outfit, and the scenes following Will's death. Fab!

I like his character, but he is a bit too much the pantomime baddy to be a credible character. A little more light and shade would not go amiss.

Seeing him shut himself away to cry when will died did show a bit to him, albeit briefly!

Thanks MorrisZapp & Northender on your recommendation I've downloaded the Alan Cumming book onto my Kindle...

I love Alan Cumming. I loved the High Life (saucy sitcom set on an aeroplane) in mid 1990s I was a mere child no idea he has such a dark past, bless him.

As for Alicia - I agree she's becoming all Politician now - think they are trying to turn this into "Scandal" (anyone watch that?)!

I love Elspeth, but agree she would be overkill every episode and lose her whackiness, I'm worried her relationship withAlicia will have been damaged tho, I like her as an ally.

Agree on Cary Argos' hotness, but he's too short... that said I'm a MJF and Tom Cruise (the Top Gun days) fab so height isn't really an issue when admiring from afar.

I'm all for an Alicia/Finn situation.

Haven't read the whole thread yet, but just found you and am marking my place.

I want an Alicia/Finn 'situation' too!

Just remembered the "Highlife" catchphrase - "it's a potential death trap"...

Niche.

Sorry

Love Patty but she would drive me mad!!!

think they are trying to turn this into "Scandal" (anyone watch that?)!

I hope not, as I also watch Scandal (though I am never sure why I bother). Scandal is like Wotsits - all fake flavourings, bright colouring and no substance. The Good Wife is Kettle Chips - a much classier, more substantial affair.

Ahhhh, Elsbeth and Dale Cooper!

I am a bit behind but OMG Kyle Machlachlan looks like an oompa loompa he is SO orange.

I can never forget him in the "Sex and the city" scene with the porn mag...

Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala!

Is this Elspeth woman a lawyer?

I too love Elspeth but agree that she would drive us nuts if she was in it every week. Great in small doses though. I also think the same about Eli's daughter.

i can't get over the religious thing though and how important it is in America. i don't give a toss if our politicians go to church.

I remember Kyle McLachlan in Twin Peaks, which is showing my age.

It's strange about religion in America, whereas here politicians are quite private about their faith and would rarely be questioned on it!

I LOVED him in Twin Peaks!

I know she'd grate every week, but Elspeth and Kyle's character were comedy gold this week.

Ah ha, so Alicia and Diane are the new Will and Diane!

It's weird I think Joy Grubick the pretrial service officer person, looks like army judge Leora Kuhn!

Poor Carey, he has got a point about them being back where they started!
