Junior G-man posted:However, I suppose it's some sort of larger parable of Florrick / Agos is turning into L&G slowly. More like very suddenly, but also: I don't get why that's interesting, or why I should care. Alicia and Cary (and other fourth years) leave L+G to form their own firm, but when the dust settles it turns out that they still have the same clients, all the same staff (minus David Lee), and the same office space. It feels pointless, and a betrayal of the promise that the excellent run of episodes prior to and following Hitting the Fan had.

Go David Hyde Pierce. Niles has my vote! Carrie storyline is still pointless. And I'm glad they addressed the ton of office space they have now.

So I guess with Finn's departure from the SA's office, Castro will strike some kind of a deal with Bishop and will sell Kalinda to him. Castro will continue to pursue Cary. Bishop will retaliate by removing Kalinda, and he will also assume the control of both Castro and Alicia. Castro will win the SA's race. Cary, unable to cope with Kalinda's departure, will go into a meltdown. He'll start hating Alicia because he knows he can't sell Peter and will leave the firm. Finn will join Alicia & Diane. It sucks that Bishop might be the person who finishes Kalinda off, but if he, a common person, gets to control people in power, that's great. It's no wonder that in Bishop's absence in the past couple of episodes the writers have been keen for Alicia to reiterate 'I've been on both sides of the court, the justice system is there to protect everyone' campaign message. That very message will hit very close to home. The person who takes the ultimate winnings is Peter, other than his split with Alicia, he's been able to get away from everything thus far. How many episodes left, anyone?

Am I the only one who couldn't give the tiniest rat-poo poo about Finn Polmar, not least because of the name? I desperately don't care about him every time he's shoehorned into a plot.

Yeah it feels like the writers are really contriving to make him into her new love interest or something but he just sort of floats around and is inserted into storylines when convenient. OTOH he's a better character than Damian O'Boyle. What's funny to me is that I thought with him quitting and wanting to start his own firm (with no clients ATM) he'd be better off renting the much-more-affordable warehouse space that Florrick/Agos just renovated and moved out of.

The Good Wife has 22 eps per season, so we still have 15 to go.Binary Logic posted:But he and Alicia are BFFs ! Well, Alicia said she'd cut him a deal. Which I guess means that we can expect "did Alicia Florrick allow Finn Polmar to rent space at dramatically below-market rates in exchange for an endorsement?" to be wielded as a weapon against her at some point during the campaign.

So is this season just going to be Alicia's moral downfall and decent into gladhanding while still acting shocked and outraged that people are self serving in spite of her having been a high profile criminal defense lawyer? Like, she's shocked and disappointed about stuff and I just don't give a poo poo about her naive reactions, and it's making kinda boring television.

And what happened to Eli's daughter, I thought she was supposed to be at Alicia's side all day. Anyway...Kalinda's sex life is also strange, her and her federal agent gf have all-day sex marathons instead of working. Must be nice! Her character is so inconsistent; she used to be the best investigator in Chicago and now she's doing everything wrong. And their law office is weird. Supposedly Cary Alicia and Diane run the company, and there are bodies moving around in the office but they don't seem to interact with their partners and employees. Too busy doing non-work related stuff like running for political office and dealing with the case against Cary, I guess  also, is a "silent advocate" a real thing ? What is the point of having a rep at a tribunal or hearing if she can't say anything?! Binary Logic fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Nov 10, 2014 |

Presumably Castro dropped out because the polling results were putting Alicia and talk show guy at 40% each, with him as a distant 3rd. (numbers pulled from my butt)

I like the TV writer view of lesbian relationships: lounging around all day in silk pajamas, full makeup and styled hair mind you, drinking wine, sharing their feelings...a pair of pretty dolls with matching phones and ringtones.

I don't really care about Cary breaking his parole, nor do I think we need to feel sympathy for him, he's clearly in the right and what's being done to him is wrong. I wouldn't feel sad if he got caught breaking parole and had to go to jail, but it'd suck if he goes to prison. Alicia's not going to back out. She's VERY narcissistic and being fed by Eli and co. Or maybe his attention has finally open the floodgates of narcissism that we all keep in check.

Bellakitty posted:I didn't think I liked Robin. Me too. All of the Kalinda stuff is just too cynical and at this point repetitive. They apparently can't even cash in on the drama built up by the conflict with Alicia because the whole thing is actually about actor conflict? It's disappointing if all that is true and they can't just be professionals about it because it's hurting the show.

As for the show - Bishop knows so much, he's got to have someone on the inside of the investigation. Wonder if that person will be uncovered.

All sorts of stuff is going on and nothing really matters. Oh Kalinda's having sex with people for plot again. I'm with you on the Finn thing. If Alicia wants to bein a relationship great that's up to her, but this willtheywon'tthey-"oh but my JOB!" lovely poo poo is just dumb. Her brother should be more on the show.

I can't remember the last time Agos had a case or any billable hours. All he's done for the past 3, 4 weeks or more is cost his firm - the bail money, and now the bodyguard. And the time and effort Diane's putting into his case. And all the work Kalinda is doing regarding his problems. I'd rather see more of Ramona's law office and caseload. Also, calling something out in a tv show or movie doesn't make it acceptable. What I mean is, having Marissa (Eli's daughter) ridiculing how bad the political ads were, doesn't make them believable even within the show's context. They were as goofy as Elsbeth's imaginings.

So here's an observation: Prady told Alicia he would not attack her if she didn't go after him. Then he (or his proxy PAC) went ahead and launched the attack anyway. Compare that with Lemond Bishop who said much the same to Cary. So even though he claims he won't strike first I don't think a murderous drug lord has more honour or is more trustworthy than a politician. tldr: Cary should still be scared of Bishop!
