Wow. So many good ones !

Yes, Marisa, of course ! I left out a lot. Another moment that I'm just now thinking of : Eli's face when Natalie Flores tells him "I have a boyfriend. He's a contortionist. He's a French-Canadian contortionist."

Oh yes, that moment between the father and the son at the window. "You can do anything, you lucky bastard, you're alive !" (Had to look it up to remember) I'm with you on the importance of this show in my life. It was everything I wanted in a show (and I didn't know I wanted it before watching it) and one of the most…

Just for fun, because I’d like to end this ride on a positive note, here are some of my favorite things and moments of The Good Wife:

Yes. There can never be enough Richard Jenkins. Nathaniel Fisher was such an important part of the show. There is an episode, very early on (I think the second episode), where David, Nate and Brenda take THE bus and David sees his father waving at him through the window, and starts crying. Such a perfect moment. The…

Oh, yes. It is still an excellent show. I think TGW is a good example of the "I'm mad because I care" argument.

I agree that the ghost thing didn't work here. Too easy. But it can work. Six Feet Under actually has some of the best "talking to ghost" moments.

I had stopped commenting on TGW for a while, because I was starting to like the show less. I'm really happy I came back and started writing again. Lately, I've come here every monday, excited and fascinated by all the insightful comments, giggling at the fun stuff, engaged in the conversation. It's been a pleasure and…

Yes. It was kind of insulting to what was a complex relationship. I wish they hadn't touched it.

And she knows it. There is a moment there, after the slap, where Alicia realizes who she is. That's my interpretation. It's like the slap actually wakes her up and for a second, she seems to think :"Wait a minute, I'M the bad guy."

- I had missed Josh Charles a lot. So seeing his face was good. But making Will come back was a mistake. It cheapens their relationship. The only piece of new information it gave me, seeing them together again, was that Alicia didn't deserve Will. I know that now. Well, in my opinion.
- It was time to end the show if…

Ahahah. I like the way you think. I stopped reading your post just to go check the picture above. Nice catch ! I think I will try to jump right from Anger to Perpetual Skepticism. It is a good idea, a truer and lighter way to handle the demise of this particular beloved show. I hope I will not disappoint, though, as I…

Yes, while watching the scene with Cary, I was actually reminded of "Hitting the Fan", when Alicia, about to be ejected from the building, tells Will "This was never meant personally." I remember thinking that, while I could understand her desire to move on from Lockhart/Gardner, there was no way she didn't see how…

Still with you on this one. To cheer up a little, I went back and watched the episode “Hi” today, where Cary is, well, high on mushrooms. The fun Cary! At one point, when Alicia asks him if he’s on something, he says “I like you, Alicia” and she replies “I like you too, Cary.” I thought, for myself: “No, Cary !! It’s…

I'm sorry. I don't get it. Maybe because I've been watching some early episodes of the Good Wife (they were gooood) but this doesn't feel like the same show anymore, for me. The only characters who seem consistent are Eli and Diane. Thank God for Eli Gold. The others are just parody of themselves. "I never meant you…

Is this supposed to be accurate? For example, JGL is clearly telling Shailene Woodley about his plans. I thought Snowden precisely told Poitras and Greenwald that he left his life behind without telling anyone, even his girlfriend so that his family wouldn't have to lie for him. I know it's Hollywood, but still. The…

Hmmm. I'm pretty sure I didn't make any speculations. Unless asking questions is considered "slanderous".

She could have had that so many times before. In terms of the story that we've been told for seven years, it could have been made way less cheap. And they never gave us any obvious reasons for her to go for Jason, instead of Finn, Johnny Elfman or Will. Other than he's an obvious hunk.

Yes. I don't even understand how writers who have spent so much time building a fully fleshed out character, can go there. I'm not saying their job is easy, but it sure is heartbreaking to watch.

Isn’t it a letdown, though ? To have the title character become a nonhero who « doesn’t give a fuck » ? During the brilliant years of the show, the only thing that bothered me about Alicia was her inability to let loose, even a little, her guilty behavior about her husband, her children. It was so persistent. But as…
