Just caught up - what's the card?

Also what happened to the blonde investigator?

TheOnlyOliviaMumsnet · 20/03/2015 18:18

IS the card not a tracking device??

Postexpatlimbo · 20/03/2015 21:27

Bloody Kalinda and her I'm so tough and sexy act Angry cant they do an mn focus group to see how much we hate her and find her unsexy? Is she banging the director or something?! is that why they're written in? Such a weak link in an otherwise fab programme.

HalleLouja · 20/03/2015 21:50

I didn't get why she destroyed the card. Maybe she loves her. Can we get rid of the whole Kalinda and Cary thing?

Loved Finn in his casual look. He is beating Cary in the swoon department.

ClearlyMoo · 21/03/2015 08:24

I'd assumed the card was a GPS sim tracking device. So if she snapped it it might still work. I half wondered if she would flush it as they seem to do that a lot in films.

Kalinda has almost become like the fool in a Shakespeare play... IMO an annoying interlude.

When Alicia was washing up I was thinking she must've had a vest or Camo on under that ridiculously ugly jacket.

Cary is getting more good looking but I'd choose Finn any day and Cary's storyline is surely going to end with him in jail.

I think Niles Crane how has no one yet commented that Frasier's little brother makes a good tv star? will win the SA election.

I get confused now they are back in their old offices.

I love love love MJ Fox.

Postexpatlimbo · 21/03/2015 08:30

Agree, love MJ fox also- bet hehas a ball playing that role. And yes, Cary now does it for me, getting much more attractive with age men are lucky bastards

northender · 21/03/2015 09:00

Surely this is building up to a sticky end for Kalinda? I can't see her surviving against Bishop. Then hopefully we'll see more of Robyn, the other investigator who seems much more watchable. Saw a trailer for the next ep last night, bring on Thursday I say..........

Pooseyfrumpture · 21/03/2015 10:24

Let's hope Kalinda doesn't last until the end of the series. When Finn was on the phone to her, didn't he realise it was her? Are Trey and his cousin really dead or just in witness protection? That seemed a little convenient.

DustBunnyFarmer · 21/03/2015 23:50

Loved Finn in his casual look. He is beating Cary in the swoon department.

Agreed.

BitOfFun · 21/03/2015 23:56

It's all going a bit Ally McBeal at the moment, with Alicia's imagination sidetracks. And the visions of the wacky Elspeth.

I'm not sure if I like it.

ClearlyMoo · 22/03/2015 08:58

Yes I found the imagination stuff weird. Out of place!

You don't really all think Kalinda will die do you Hmm

DustBunnyFarmer · 22/03/2015 16:18

You don't really all think Kalinda will die do you

Probably not, but it doesn't stop me and DH hoping.

Bue · 24/03/2015 12:28

Awwww poor Cary, he's in love with Kalinda.

Any more advances on the card thing? I don't think it's a tracking device. Kalinda's face registered a sudden look of recognition, so she obviously understands what it is and it appeared to be very, very bad.

I am Angry as I have inadvertently found out a terrible spoiler. I don't know how it will pan out though.

Agreed on the weird imagination sidebars. Not working for me.

DustBunnyFarmer · 26/03/2015 21:50

Ooh, lingering moment with Finn. She had sin on her mind right then...

And her lecture for Peter - priceless!

TheDietStartsTomorrow · 27/03/2015 06:34

I think I'm the only one left that still thinks Alicia and Peter are great together. They're actually very alike in many ways. Yes, problem is she just doesn't love him any more and isn't the slightest bit excited by him which probably means they absolutely shouldn't, but I can't help wishing they would get back together properly.

northender · 27/03/2015 09:59

Bue after inadvertently finding out the Will storyline ahead of time last year, I'm not looking at anything Good Wife related apart from this thread!

Things seem to be building quite nicely now. Felt last night left more questions than answers though.

HalleLouja · 28/03/2015 06:49

She should have just shagged Finn. What was she thinking. I was wondering if Peter was the Intern's dad as Alicia thought they had been shagging for a long time. ... I did laugh when Alicia was playing the doting wife in front of the Intern's mum. Then the whole thing about the dress was funny. I am missing the court scenes though. The whole Cary thing is going on too long. He made me laugh slagging off Kalinda 's girlfriend though.

DustBunnyFarmer · 28/03/2015 07:44

I've said before I think the intern might be Peter's daughter. I'm even more convinced now after Alicia asked if they were bonking whilst she was pregnant with one of the Florrick kids. I reckon this'll be the betrayal that tips her over the edge so she hits the nuclear button on their marriage. I also reckon it'll all come to a head at a crucial point in her campaign & might win her enough public sympathy to win States Attorney.

NeverTalksToStrangers · 28/03/2015 08:04

This is the first series I've watched religiously. Agree kalinda is annoying. She's like that twat ariana grande, wtf is with the only one hairdo??? Everyone kalinda shags has so far been much better looking than her yet they make her out to be some kind of babe.

As an aside... I used to love cary in Gilmore Girls (aka Logan). I was 30 and pregnant, he was playing a 18-20 year old. It was all a bit wrong. I even very nearly called my ds logan.

He's not as hot in this now though (even at the start of gw). Maybe I only liked him v young.

oneowlgirl · 28/03/2015 19:25

I thought that was a great episode & loved Alicia lecturing Peter. I a disappointed he's shagging the blond one though - I honestly (stupidly !!) thought he'd changed. Never thought about him being the interns dad, but you're probably right.

Completely agree the Cary storyline is going on too long now.

Not sure if I want Alicia to be the States Attorney - quite like Niles in this, especially as he seems honest & would therefore nail Peter & anyone else in authority for wrongdoing!

I love The Good Wife Grin

ClearlyMoo · 29/03/2015 00:28

Oh. Cary was Logan. I hadn't noticed. Stupid. He seems short in this.

Well looks like Cary is the one who might die. Or Kalinda.

I'm a bit sad they've lost their focus on cases though. It's frustrating me a bit. Although all this campaigning is better than silly internal LG politics and members voting for things so that's good I suppose.

The dress thing was silly.

I get a bit confused about Alicia and Peter and all this marriage of appearances stuff. They hardly see each other so how could they possibly care if they live separate lives and all that extends to. She can't tell peter to dump the blonde one minute (blondie lost my respect sobbing in car), and then go off doing weird moments with Finn he's getting hotter by the episode the next.

Nice wine pouring and drinking in pyjamas.

I think Niles I like how we are calling him that now gave her the box to stir up her emotions.

SuzanneCrazyEyes · 29/03/2015 07:56

I agree, we less Cary and Kalinda stuff and more courtroom action.

I love Judge Lessner, (In my opinion) and want to see more of her, and Nancy Crozier too.

honeysucklejasmine · 29/03/2015 08:08

DH and I have binge watched GW in Netflix and am now up to date on C4. What a great show! Shock

We like Kalinda, but we are bored with her shagging around.
Cary is great and we hope the case falls through, and are getting frustrated with it too.
Niles is awesome, good character.
We were devastated at Will's death, didn't see it coming. We thought the kid was going to kill himself.
Colin Sweeney is fantastic, with his bonkers wife Inara
MJ Fox was annoying but now we love him, same with Nancy.
Finn is very dishy and much less of a dick now.

We are missing the court scenes though, and can't understand why Alicia would want to be States Attorney. Can she still take her draw from Florrick Argos? Would it not be a conflict of interests if they defend cases against the SA?

DustBunnyFarmer · 29/03/2015 08:35

Seeing as the death penalty is agreed at state level, I'm guessing the SA gets to set sentencing policy for the whole state, which would mean the post has considerable clout.
