I've been biting my tongue about the Alex's story line until everyone caught up so now I can FINALLY talk about it and not feel ashamed for liking her :)

*raises hand slowly*
I'm only four episodes in but I disagree that this season isn't as good as before. Did the first episode seem a little rushed or jam-packed? Yes but I understood the method to the madness.
I stopped watching this show regularly after Sara died because I could see where it was headed. Apart from a few episodes here and there, reading recaps and watching the finale, nothing I've seen has made me regret my choice.
"I have more confidence that Emilia Clarke films her scenes with real life dragons on Game of Thrones than that Archie Panjabi was allowed to sit that close to Julianna Margulies."
On the good faith of the brilliant first few seasons, I will watch S7. If it ends up being The Alicia Florrick Show, I will check out before mid-season and never return.
I feel like I'm repeating myself every time I comment on The Good Wife. They have all but reduced the supporting characters to weird/nonsensical versions of themselves. Kudos to the actors for working with the sub-standard (for this show) material they've been given this season and good luck to Archie Panjabi, she…
Did anyone else feel like this was almost a recap episode? I'll need HBO to start giving me my full hour again please.
Don't get me wrong here, compared to other shows, TGW still has more going for it than most but I base my criticism of the show on the standard it set for itself and that standard has dropped.
I guess I'm in the minority here because I'm with the reviewer and mostly agree with her grades so far. Cary, Kalinda and Diane HAVE almost disappeared as meaningful characters and the SA storyline is not doing the show any favours in bringing back the quality that was once in this show.
As someone who watched and commented from the very beginning, I'm actually with the reviewer here. I've said it before but this show has seriously gone downhill from what we got in it's first season.
I've been beating this drum for awhile now but I'll say it again. This show may be about Alicia Florrick i.e. The Good Wife but her co-stars/supporting cast always had more agency to them. For the last season and a half or so, one by one, those characters have lost what made them, and the show, more than just "The…
Well that's because Adrianne Palicki actually looks like she could beat the shit out of you whereas Katie Cassidy doesn't? Not to worry, Arrow will try and change this by having her train with Nyssa for a few episodes.
It's a clusterfuck alright. And that's mostly because whoever's in charge (apparently that's Marc Guggenheim while the others are in charge of other shows) wants to make certain things happen:
When the moments in this show landed, they landed hard! My head was spinning by the end of the finale. It felt like all the pieces where being moved into place and the stories weren't given enough time to breathe.
I've reached the point of actively wishing ALS would hurry up and kill someone. Those are the depths that Lucious Lyon has brought me to.
Season Grade: B
Season Finale Grade: C+
Just wanna say, Octavia broke my heart (after watching Clarke's face shatter when she realized what Lexa had done). She's not a Sky person and now she's been rejected by the Grounders. Where does she belong? :(
I was right there with you. I was looking around for a sword so I could go fight too.
Something doesn't add up here.
