I’m more interested in wtf happened with all the POC at Florrick-Argos who were oh-so crucial. That was the weirdest case of token minority on a show in recent memory.

I guess that's how Mr. Dipple who is now running Lockhart-Agos, likes it. It's also why clients who look for diversity in their chosen law firm will be flocking to Florrick, Quinn & Associates.  .And, I like Jeffrey Dean Morgan but that backstory about him being a lawyer who was disbarred for punching a judge and then he became a PI was quite far-fetched. And you'd think something like that would be known by many lawyers, and certainly a point that would come up with any online search done before hiring him.

I figured it was the writers aping that Florida judge who challenged a public attorney to a fight, apparently won off camera but not off mic, and returned to continue judging like he didn't know he was going to have to resign soon. Or get disbarred or disjudgshiped or whatever they did I don't remember.

This also does appear to be similar to the situation between Ms. Floric and judge Shooter McGavin. In that there is a judge being bitchy about the flow of his court to the detriment of the constitutional rights of the people in his court. http://www.news.com.au/finance/work...b-1226942798880 FetusSlapper fucked around with this message at 02:48 on Oct 28, 2015 |

I'm not sure what I think of Jefferey Dean Morgan's character. I mean, I love Jefferey Dean Morgan, but  And, yup, new love interest. Also, who pays Eli? It seems like he's Office Spacing his career at this point. But holy poo poo, he's such a devious little fucker.

I kinda wish they'd drop the old law firm entirely at this point. The Howard thing is funny but they can't keep it going forever and I really like the dynamic of Alicia's new ragtag band.

I think they managed to put a neat bow on it this episode, I'd be disappointed if next episode Cary finds out the sensitivity counselor was an actress hired by Howard to one up them & the feud is back on.

I don't mean that they're going to drag out the Howard thing, I mean that it's going to end and they'll need to come up with another reason for Cary and Diane to get screentime. I would prefer that they switch over to recurring cast rather than main and get used more like Canning, but that's probably not going to happen because of the way TV works.

Maybe Gov Florrick will have his own Whitewater and bring in Cary and Diane to represent him.

It seems weird that a woman who took a break from the workforce and found it very difficult that first year even with a law degree under her belt would disregard her daughter's need for higher education. Grace isn't going to college at all?

Casual racism on a show, especially from the characters whom the shown have lead us to like is fantastic and hugely important, but it's cheap when the writers occasionally just push a button to turn it on - the default being off.

The black characters on the show have always been one-note characters in the past. Lemond Bishop is pretty much an evil psycho. Julian was the most asexual and non-threatening black partner in the firm. Wendy Scott Card was annoyingly persistent and vindictive. Pretty much none of them are likable except Lemond Bishop dresses amazingly in every scene. And Matan Brody is a huge smug piece of poo poo. Actually when I think about it most characters on the show are lovely people. Mu Zeta fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Nov 9, 2015 |
