Next year: Beach House II. The precinct goes to a free gig from the band Beach House in Prospect Park Bandshell.

BOOM! The show had it both ways! Ha-ha. No regrets.

I'd like to add that knowing Archie Panjabi is leaving the show may have reduced some of the dramatic momentum from the Cary/Kalinda storyline.

At least this time around there seemed to be some actual urgency to their need to keep her out of the storyline. The debate taking place the following day is better than her fabricated crisis during The Trial episode. Her absence there stung me more.

Yes, the top image in that tumblr post is from S2 (look at that baby face! awww). If you compare it to S5 you'll still see a difference, not as drastic, of course.

I don't think we'll see Cary dealing with any more prison time. However, there could be blowback on the firm and he most certainly will be involved in Kalinda's fallout. So I think his hardships are far from over. I'm excited to see where this is going.

The only reason I take it off the table is that, as @avclub-ef870b3a86cdaa4354ae109dd88b614d:disqus said, it would come off as a cheap shock after Will's death. Plus, we already know she's leaving so that decreases the value of such an end. Most likely she will flee, either by her own means or in witness protection.

Yeah, no need for it, really. He could have just replied "it's complicated." Not only that but, as Kayla said, the show hasn't really convinced me one way or another of where Kalinda falls in the feelings spectrum towards him. Part of it, it's the show's fear of giving Kalinda any deep emotions. Before the "Red Zone"…

Yeah, I didn't think it made much sense either, perhaps they had to cut a scene there. The writers' twitter clarified that it was indeed Peter trying to help.

As long as she doesn't die (I don't think she will)

GAWD THIS SHOW!

TOP FIVE, BABY!!!

I'm kind of worried it'll get prematurely cancelled after airing in the dead man zone of holiday time, and a double-down to make things worse.

We missed by only one month having the entire cast of Happy Endings back on TV at the same time!

Eeeeekkk. I had completely forgotten about updating my picks! I blame holiday binge watching, of course.

And for a freaking The Rock Christmas Special.

Well, I missed it because it was not mentioned in WOT yesterday. Like what the hell.

I don't know who Colbert will have as guest on The Late Show because it looked like he called in every favor anyone ever owed him. Whoa.

Syd! Wavy Rancheros!

Well, Colbert will be back in a couple of months. Who knows when/if ever we'll see Craig on a regular basis. :(
