I don't think he did offend anyone. I think it's the contrary. Infact almost half season was devoted to his storyarc (like or don't like it)…well, he's the only one, besides Alicia, who got a real storyarc that season and still has real interactions with Alicia (yeah, they're in bad terms NOW but they still have…

I don't know what interview you're talking about but, even if money is always a factor for everyone, from what I've read he does care about his work a lot. Last year he lost weight, isolated himself on the set and listened sad music to prepare for the trial storyline. He spent time reading about prisoners experiences…

They've given him zero material through the entire season. He was one of the best part of a so-so season and was highly praised for his work. And what those writers did with him next? They relegated him to awful plots and scanty material. That's the worst season for the character and the actor (because the zero…

"At this point, The Good Wife just sort of needs to pick a door and walk through it."

"In what has become a troubling pattern, Cary is completely pointless here."
To quote Robert King, after 8 episodes, I'm pretty sure that was "intentional". Matt Czuchry should find a way to reverse his 2ys contract because it's obvious they just fooled him last year with that Cary's centric storyline just to convince…

I think the more Christine Baranski and Matt Czuchry stick with that show and the more their chances to find prominent roles elsewhere become scarce. Christine Baranski is Christine Baranski and she occasionally is still getting some random big episode in the show so I bet it will be easier for her. But MC is another…

Inevitably written as a joke? Because since apparenlty losing Kalinda (his 6 years love interest) didn't mean anything for him it would be hard for me to take them seriously.

I think some reviewers have already gave up with Cary and Diane and are just accepting what the show is doing with them: reducing their roles, relegating them to (disappointing) C-plots and mostly doing with them the same thing the show has done with Kalinda aka wasting them and the actors who play them. In that…

"I don't understand why the writers have to separate Alicia from
Cary/Diane in the first place. Alicia should have rejoin the firm
(screw Oliver Platt's character, who we don't even see anymore). Since
the firm is hiring, they could have bring in Lucca that way and also
hire Jason as the investigator to replace…

Right now Diane and Cary are just written to make a point about something (ageism, racism, etc.) not because the plot has any significance for them as characters and their development.

Yeah. That's the reason why it's really hard for me to care about those characters now.

I also suppose they'll manage to turn Cary and Diane into two incompetents idiots in the process.

And obviously LAL will lose.

"The writers don’t want us to feel bad for Howard, but they do want to make us think about ageism in the workplace."
Ok. But how is that going to improve Diane and Cary storyline this year? Because right now I think we need a strong storylines for those two more than anything else and instead writers spent 5 episodes…

What about giving them court cases or just cases in general for istance? And since Robert King said Cary is not happy about the firm what about letting him DOING something to change it?

No matter how her storylines sucked in the last 3 ys or how much he was always underutilzed and sidelined (everytime writers needed screentime for useless plots or useless new characters), their relationship somewhat survived, even if bruised and yellowed, to the awful scripts or lack of it. Because in spite of…

It's a shame. They just wasted whatever they've done with the character in the first half of the season. Because he's even more marginalized now than before. Whatever happened to him through those months now seems completely useless in terms of character's development. It didn't affect him as person, It didn't move…

I agree. Those writers have no idea what a follow-through is.

I'd have loved to see how that thing changed Cary, professionally and personally. Instead now we'll probably get another bunch of episodes where he'll be just thrown into the Kalinda's exit with no follow-through in terms of character's development.

Another dropped storyline/plot twist with no real follow-through: the white card Bishop asked Kalinda to put on Lana's wallet.
