Emotional check-in - I am doing a lot better after this episode than I was last week. The horror of Will's sudden death and Diane and Kalinda's discovery of his body (when they were running the narrative of "he'll be fine, he'll get help, they'll save him" in their heads), was just too much, too heart-breaking. …

Seriously. The idea of what Will could have been to Alicia is way more of a threat to Peter than he was as a reality when he was alive. As insane as that is…yeah.

This episode is one of my favorites of the season — I still think 5x04, 5x05 and tonight are probably the best of the season (I have a number of issues with the run of episodes starting at 5x06 until 5x15 — there's good stuff there but sooooo many dropped or nonsenical plots that bug me.

yup, basically just a drama queen.

This issue of what she *wished* he had said is so tragic to me. If he had never been shot, she certainly wouldn't have gotten back together with him —she's never even admitted she loved him (and couldn't respond when Diane told her flat out that he loved her). In some ways this is a seriously broken person who is…

When the show starts Will is in his late 30s and already a named partner in what I believe is supposed to be the third largest law firm in Chicago. The downside to this is he starts to regret the fact he's all career, no personal life. The flip side of Alicia as you point out. But now Alicia's going to question…

Since he's joining Hannibal (not sure for how long) this makes me nervous. I do think he's a good actor but still…don't mess with my favorite show, okay, dude?

Ugh. This was such a good run of having him on tv…I understand why the Kings choose this route, but I'll never get why he wanted out (he isn't conventionally leading man handsome, to be honest, and this role is just perfect for him).

People really flipped out over this death — the only thing comparable to it since I started twitter (2009) is the Red Wedding.

The Good Wife death shocked me like no other death I've ever seen on television.

Yup. I made the mistake of watching the extended trailer for next week (not the one shown last night) and now I'm in a fog of sadness.

Cary looks so *mad* in the preview. It breaks my heart — he didn't even *like* Will but it's like…it's WILL. Of course he's going to be furious.

Three for me as well…we must watch the same shows.

That line really broke me. Just…she and Kalinda both loved him in their own way and he might have been a pain in the ass sometimes, but he was *their* pain in the ass.

I doubt I have anything new to say but this really, really made me sad. I wasn't spoiled for anything but as I watched the episode and the election storyline wasn't front and center, I started to get very concerned. Once that kid looked at that gun in the courtroom I was, like, 70% sure Will was a goner. Once we…

Here's my read on the whole thing: I knew before I read the walkthrough that the murders weren't Hannibal because they didn't actually help Will. All they did was confirm that this was a copycat who did not commit crimes in the same way that "Will" did (at least to Crawford / the FBI and others). They also weren't…

Some of my students have this problem with distinguishing characters in black and white films and it is even worse for international students (since we are watching films in a second language for them and then they have to deal with the black and white format).

heh. I'm okay with this twist but I get being drawn to the option that leads to more misery and pain. Teen Wolf shouldn't go half-way on that kind of stuff.

YES! I was totally flipping out during that Allison and Sheriff scene — it just seemed too….something. Out of place, a little weird? I mean it was a tender character moment and if there's one human being on the show (besides Scott) you'd want comfort from, it would be the Sheriff.

This was all around a bad idea. Just…no. Leave history to the history teachers, Teen Wolf.
