In some earlier season, Kurt's credibility was attacked because the night before he'd slept with Diane at his hotel.

That insight actually made me happy. I feel so much better with Diane as the powerful one instead of the s1 Alicia character. Thank you!

It was irritating, that new feud. Made both of them look petty and unprofessional. One of my favorite parts of this show was its feminism via basically eliminating gender issues. Alicia never faced obstacles due to her gender, it was because of her husband. Her and his affairs were treated with equal seriousness. And…

Here's an idea for Diane and all her various law firms: Stop using your husband as the ballistics expert.

I have deeply mixed feelings about this episode. If it were a movie or even a miniseries, I would love it. It's beautifully shot and scored, it has a message but isn't too didactic, and the symmetry is truly well done. But it's not a movie, it's a show I have invested a lot (too much) of emotional energy in, full of…

In whose world does the criminal trial of a sitting governor last two days?

But acting is a key word. Wouldn't they still hold an election at some point?

Also on the OJ Simpson show.

I think Kurt's not gone because they mentioned missing bullets (which Kurt is good at!), so I doubt she is either. Odd because this episode tied up Kurt and Diane's relationship very sweetly.

This is a dumb case, it's not interesting at all (yet), and doesn't have any special intrigue. They should have done a loose-ends case from a much earlier episode, like what happened when Will died.

Cary would have had more fun in jail. Then Kalinda wouldn't have left (though that might have been worse…) and he'd have an activity and would get tougher and less lame.

When Tascioni mentioned he knew an investigator, I was so hoping for Robyn! It's ridiculous there's only one investigator in the city of Chicago. These poor investigators always seem to be doing thirty jobs at once. And sleeping with their employers (not you, Robyn!)

I thought it was a little weird. Whether it's the acting or the character, I don't get the feeling Alicia likes her kids. At first she protected them from the media at all costs, now she doesn't care if they're in front of cameras, and the only thing that's changed is her own attitude (yeah, the kids are older, but in…

Seriously. If my dad the governor were being indicted and arrested I would probably at least call him or my mom.

I'm deeply confused by why their relationship is complicated. They are two (for our purposes, Peter hasn't lived with Alicia in seven years) single adults who enjoy each other's company in all ways. I've narrowed it down to two things: Either Alicia is too attached to Peter or Jason doesn't really like Alicia. The…

I'm a fan of Jason, but Jesus Christ, Alicia, the problem isn't that you're "performing lewd acts" in public, it's that you're in public AND MARRIED TO THE GOVERNOR. She's in a crowded bar full of rich Chicago people and kissing someone who isn't Peter. Disaster waiting to happen.

REALLY thought this would be Gary Cole's episode.

Grace would be a godawful lawyer. I never understood how she could possibly be the child of two smart adults. The actress is good, but the role has been the same for seven years- a slightly naive, clueless, needlessly passionate child.

Ugh, has Grace really not graduated yet? She's so old. And only one year behind Zach, yes? Then she must be only a few months away, because the Iowa caucus happened about two months ago in the show's world. This show is terrible with seasons. Zach graduated in the middle of winter and Thanksgiving is always bookended…

I would be interesting in returning a little bit to the religious question though. Grace suddenly started to have a personality that's not "I'm a Christian!" so that whole storyline kind of dropped off but Alicia's atheism and faith in herself is pretty well-done.
