That's part of why I was surprised. Ordinarily, guest stars fail to show up for "Good Wife" duty because they've been picked up for/have obligations to their own shows (eg, Michael Boatman), but once those shows go on hiatus (eg, Carrie Preston) or end up canceled (eg, Mamie Gummer), the Kings snatch the actors back…

Jeff Dellinger - so both Jeff and Dell!

I didn't think Diane and Kalinda were engaging him directly in that scene — I thought they were setting something in motion. They seemed much too solicitous to be sincere.

She totally married him! The last episode with her ("The Wheels of Justice") was all about her messing around with her testimony so that she could marry him without a pre-nup.

Interestingly, she was reprising a role from the fourth season. In "Battle of the Proxies," she played Alma Hoff, a defense attorney in a neighboring county.

I dunno — it was so much fun that Baccarin seemed able to handle Sweeney and his crazy. I guess if they make some passing reference to her divorcing him and managing to get half his money, I won't mind too much because it'll show she managed to game him, but I enjoyed their pantomime of a normal family.

Will and Diane in particular, hot damn.

Yeah, I got really excited when they brought up the $6 million again. I'm hoping it builds to something interesting.

Yeah, there have been a few times that the writers have introduced lawyers as members of their own firms and then dropped it. Canning was always partnered with a Meyers but in this episode said he wanted a home, which is the latest example (as you point out), but my favorite example is Elsbeth. Does anyone besides…

I don't think they'll actually start tapping Canning. It was a terrific little scene, but they essentially just discussed al Qaeda and the NSA for a couple of minutes, which probably half the country is still doing.

Wait, IMDb informs me that I'm lying and also that I don't know the difference between Michael Urie and Zach Woods.

Yeah, in the first one, our two main NSA guys were Urie and the dark blond with the Anarchy shirt. In the second one, it was Anarchy shirt and Pancholy. This time we had Anarchy shirt and Urie again.

Spoilers, maybe?:

He was actually in the first NSA episode and then sat out the second (Maulik Pancholy subbed in).

No, it's the other way around: they were tapping Lockhart/Gardner and Alicia in the first place because of the Danny Marwat case from the third season. In fact, when it became clear that they were tapping the First Lady of Illinois and often her husband by extension, they almost ended the operation. When they…

She recuses herself and then un-recuses herself from Finn's case because she briefly blames Finn for Will's death given that Finn put the shooter in the general population.

No, she never did get to hear that one. Alas, what a souvenir it would be.

He was killed by Loki, like, two thirds into the movie, actually. He was the second-in-command of the guy who used to be Doctor Who.

Y'know, as much as I love the ever-loving hell out of that show, it took, like, three seasons for its into to grow on me. I think I was bothered by the fact that it just used footage from the show. It felt cheap? Who knows.

Probably, but the "Golden Girls" theme song is wonderfully, obnoxiously heartwarming, too.
