It couldn't be more perfect that Catherine falls in love with her mother's look-alike. Gary would never settle for anything other than the real thing, of course!

How about the girl at Sue's college with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, popularly covered in "The Golden Girls" two-part Season Five premiere "Sick and Tired"!

I definitely agree, though I'm sure someone with more knowledge of the law could perhaps come up with a few scenarios in which this type of transition would be allowed. And yes, even though the Kings often relish in exploring ambiguities in the law and loopholes, with only two hours in the series left to tie up so

Last night's episode definitely doesn't explicitly state it, to your point, but I thought it was implied. And after a little digging around, the CBS press photos (seen in the first link below in an actually captivating fan video, or through the second link to CBS Press Express website) clearly show Diane as Peter's

In a recent interview, JLD said the scripts are vetted by political consultants who worked in the White House on both sides of the aisle. That's not to say that they won't take some liberties for the sake of story, but I think they do take accuracy very seriously.

I was worried that Laurie wouldn't be returning this season, even though the character is more important now than he was then. It's great to have him back!

Kent correcting everyone's pronunciations in that scene was so simple, yet so hilarious!

I have to imagine that Catherine filming Ben's conversation with Bill about the pardon, which turned out to be a complete lie, will come back to bite everyone later in the season.

That's a good point. I had honestly forgotten that Grace decided to be a lawyer like Alicia, too. For some reason (perhaps because Sarah Steele has so much more effectively created a real character than Makenzie Vega) I found Marissa's decision, although somewhat out of the blue, to be more effective. Plus it was

I, too, loved that so many recurring characters had the opportunity to say goodbye to Alicia and the audience. It was particularly nice that they even gave us an idea of Marissa's future, wanting to become a lawyer arguably because of how much she admires Alicia.

It would have been great for Elsbeth to play a greater role in the second half of this season, but I'm honestly thrilled that Diane will be defending Peter in court. It plays more into the quasi-incestuous nature of the whole trial, plus with Kurt running the independent ballistics on the bullets that Peter took out

The penultimate episode is titled "The Verdict" and part of the official press release reads: As Peter's trial begins, Alicia works desperately to keep her husband from returning to jail.

I really thought that when Tascioni mentioned that he had the perfect investigator in mind and they cut to a different scene that we would get a great reveal later in the episode of Robyn or (as implausible as it would be) Kalinda. It was written and edited so purposefully that I have to believe they wanted it to be

Selina asking him if he needs help Googling "immovable" and JLD's ferocious clacking of the keyboard is one of my favorite moments from the show.

It was confirmed the night of the Super Bowl that this is, indeed, the final season. Only 7 episodes left.

"Vagary" = an unexpected and inexplicable change in a situation or in someone's behavior.

4. Diane took the case because her parents have $33 million in billable hours at LAL. Good enough reason, I suppose. Although I still don't understand why they put that case in this particular episode, other than having Diane make Jason ANOTHER employment offer.

They could have even used Diane effectively in this scene to leverage all of their shared history. If the scene came after Cary's offer to Alicia to rejoin LAL, Diane could have gone to her to mend fences and we could have really had a special moment between those two characters who have spent far too much time

I don't think Alan Cumming has an intention of leaving The Good Wife. In interviews about and in his tweets since production started for Season Seven, he has said that he thinks his material this season has been the best he has ever received on the series, and he has been excited and hyping the big reveal from last

I have a suspicion that they're going to time jump two months so when the show returns in January, Jason will be back in Chicago. Knowing this series, though, they could easily pick up from the very moment Alicia grabs Eli's drink, too.
