I think they wanted to leave the door open for her to appear when/if she could be available, and meanwhile she must've moved during the hiatus between the fifth and sixth seasons, so there was no time to bring her in for such a scene. It's not dissimilar from Nathan Lane taking theatre work between the fifth and…

I know! The Kings said at one point that they missed bringing in Linda Emond but that they felt they couldn't really justify having so many stories about civilians in military court… and then they go on and do another military episode, name-drop Leora Kuhn without using her! For shame.

Weixler moved to LA and got married, so she hasn't been available to reprise her role. The Kings have specifically said they hope to get her for this final stretch of episodes.

Yeah, per the timeline, the Tascionis would've divorced around the third season, and Maclachlan's Josh Perotti was introduced during the fourth season.

Yeah, I agree. I've been really, really down on this show since the beginning of the sixth season, and I've found this season even more mediocre for its aimlessness, and I thought this was the best episode I've seen in a long time.

When Eli and Mr Tascioni are trying to pick up the Tascionis' divorce records, he says they're from 2012. "The Good Wife" began in 2009 (and in her first episode, Elsbeth mentions a son), so they would've divorced around the the third season, which makes sense because Kyle Maclachlan's Josh Perotti came into the…

I'm sure that was just a lie Eli told so that Mr Tascioni could have his dog even though the clerk complained about it or whatever. That's very much how it read to me from Cumming's delivery.

Aw, Kristin Scott Thomas was great in that.

David Lee would've been the first to go rather than getting upped to series regular if that were the case.

Is she? I'm only aware of the Critics Choice nod.

I think the CW is in the midst of something of a renaissance that I never would've expected with "Jane the Virgin," "iZombie," and "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," but I can see how the house style might be off-putting.

This show has always ignored things like that: Lemond Bishop and Colin Sweeney got the occasional "oh no" from Eli, but generally speaking, the show ignored the optics involved.

Bite your tongue — Eli's spit-take was a thing of glory.

You're missing out on "Jane the Virgin" and "iZombie," then.

The title's bad — no Apple products — but it does feature actual zombies. It's kind of in the same vein as "Veronica Mars" (which makes sense as they share an executive producer).

That was so weird. Why would Jason point out the wife to Alicia as so useful that he uses secret-book-message code, and then it turns out she's some odd Vulcan-cum-Lilith who isn't useful at all?

I'm not going to lie: I never minded Blake. In fact, I was surprised to learn years later that he was considered one of the low-points of the show.

Julius shows up about once per season and says "Wow, New York sure is a place!," so either the serial killer doesn't have him or the serial killer has brainwashed him into joining his mad scheme somehow.

This site has been giving "The Good Wife" too much credit since the end of the fifth season. It has still had its solid moments, but it should have way more Cs than it does now.

I cannot agree more. That deposition was fascinating: it functioned as the "reveal" of a pretty straightforward "will they/won't they"-type plot, but I have never been more on the edge of my seat than my first viewing of realizing that Alicia Florrick might have to reveal her affair. Easily among the best episodes…
