Not ambiguous, but more like just vague enough to give plausible deniability. It's kind of like Jet's death actually.

Zhu Li's transformation from random background joke character to person with agency this season was great.

This isn't a serious question at all!

I miss Martha Plimpton's character. Hopefully now that Raising Hope is done she has some time to come around this season or next.

That was such a gut punch maneuver from the writers. In a usual episode that's the point where our protagonists usually bring in their decisive evidence to turn the tide for an eventual victory. Goddamn writers set me up with some hope only to snatch it away.

I believe the evidence tampering was from the lab attendant (the one who was related to one of Bishop's people) because Kalinda found a large amount of unexplained money in her bank account.

1. The devastating moment and then immediate cut to black move is always so depressing when done right. That is one bold ending to an episode. Now we all have to wait until next year though.

Yeah that 'Funnel, Adore, and Lookout' thing only made sense to me after the judge's questioning of the juror. I thought they were just going super jargon-y in a way that a juror wouldn't understand, overplayed for comedic effect. I actually forgot about it until you brought it up again.

Dan Savage's relationship advice column. (Known for tackling relationship questions outside your typical safe boring newspaper column.)

One thing the Alicia campaign plotline added was more stakes for the Alicia/Finn pairing. They've been really underlining how everyone's secrets could come out which makes the whole thing dangerous from Alicia's point of view.

The burger of the day in Bob's dream was the "sub-conscious burger (on a sub roll)." Even Bob's subconscious loves puns.

I mean, isn't it still a problem if "divorced" is a noticeable attribute? For example, none of us probably know which political figures play the clarinet, because that doesn't really matter, but if a political figure is divorced we will know. The amount of effect it has is up in the air, but I'd be willing to bet I…

1. The "to phone/to call" thing is actually a running joke about Robert King according to a Good Wife panel from a couple years back. The writers used to make all the characters say it in the early seasons, because they thought it was funny that Robert King would always say "to phone" instead of "to call."

It's essentially the same idea as "show, don't tell," a.k.a. the most basic storytelling rule ever.

I just remember the Sarah Silverman episode where she embraces her
polyamorous husband even though he was a jealous murderer because the jealousy "proved that he loved me" or something like that. Ugh.

I think Lupin was using "polyamory" as a general "non-monogamy" signifier. The FWB non-committed situation that Kalinda seems to want is definitely not monogamy, although its also not capital-P Polyamory. In Polyamory, consent is an important benchmark, you're right about that, because that system is purposefully…

Eva Longoria used to be married to Tony Parker, a basketball player on the many-time NBA champion San Antonio Spurs. I believe the joke is that Longoria hogs Parker's championship ring and never lets him wear it.

Eli said it was probably a "campaign tracker" though, not a journalist. Just someone following her to paint her actions in the worst possible way in other words.

I mean this is the episode in which Alicia seems to learn "image is more important than the actual reality so just do cynical photo-ops," but this is also the episode where Alicia takes on a pro-bono client who is a rape victim.

Maybe David Lee just took the "L" for himself?
