Yes! he is a poster boy for every EEOC violation under the sun. If you are a protected class (woman, person of color, gay) then Peter has done something objectionable in the work place. Im waiting for him to do something discriminatory to a disabled person.

Will's code of ethics is he will have your back unless he thinks you did something he thinks is very wrong. Thus:

I totally agree there is a wonderful essay about Will. I geeked out on Battlestar Galactica essays so would totally do it for TGW.

Except I think the writers are now wary of making Kalinda vulnerable again a la Nick. They would much prefer to keep her as an International Woman of Mystery who gets upset and starts waving bats and guns around. I dont think we will be getting any more scenes in the elevator with her crying or covering any new…

In his business life, I think Will sees things in grey and in terms of expediency. For the most part Will is very closed off emotionally. In his personal life, that translates into not trusting too many people and seeing people as good/trustworthy or bad/untrustworthy. He trusts Alicia, Kalinda and because Diane had…

My hope  is that despite the poor showing in the 18-49 yo demo that we will still get a season 6 and season 7. I am pinning my hopes on 1) Emmy nominations 2) that CBS owns the rights to TGW and is getting 2 million per episode in syndication from Amazon, Hulu and others. More episodes means more $

I loved this episode!!!

You asked and the universe answered in 5 days. Behold David and Veronica fanfiction http://archiveofourown.org/…

Some enterprising person at CBS should make a T shirt out of that. Or at least start a contest for most noteworthy lines from TGW to be made into Tshirts. It would be much better than these http://cbs.resultspage.com/…

Because I am a masochist and would like my eyes to bleed I checked on Archive
of Our Own and FanFiction.net. I have not unearthed David Lee/ Veronica Loy
fanfiction but give it time!

Yes Veronica ending the hug prematurely made me sad too. Its
clear Alicia hasnt had someone in her corner for a long time- someone to hug
her and tell her its going to be alright. All her friends deserted her and her
mother/brother werent there for her either. She has been running on empty for a long
time because of the…

I dont mind Grace being unlikeable as its pretty developmentally appropriate. How many times have you had a friend who you really like and then you meet their tween and teenage kids and you ask yourself how they could have spawned such an insufferable, moody and pimply faced kid? Then you meet the kid a few years…

I loved and hated that part at the same time too. And Veronica totally put David in his place when he kept pushing about the 140K and he liked it. I totally think David will be Alicia's new daddy by the end of the season.

Prior to extending the FISA warrant they were able to listen to Marwat and any of his direct associates including Alicia and Diane. Because of Nisa they were able to extend the wiretap to  3 jumps from Danny Marwat. That means they will be able to listen in on Peter, Eli and all their doings because they are only 2…

Im over Kalinda as International Women of Mystery. Its old at this point and she is pretty pathological in her behavior and we dont know why. At this point I no longer care.

I think its a flashback to happier moments. But what if its nostalgia and a lead up to the angry sexytimes that RK mentioned in some interview??? I mean why else would Peter suddenly get all this is "My wife you slept with…" when he has only talked about the affair when goaded to do so by Will mouthing off to his face.

Does anyone know the timelength of each season in TGW time ? Season 4
seemed to be about 8 or 9 months. I am assuming Peter won the election
in November. He is governor elect now so wont start being governor until
January I think. So I assume season 4 started at some point in
February. I remember some character…

Me too. That was laugh out loud funny for me ( as was the telepresence robot and David Lee's reaction). I also think it doesnt bode well for her relationship with the other 4th years. Plus you cant run a business day to day as a democracy otherwise things never get done.

I also like that Alicia is flawed and imperfect. I think Alicia's ascent is about her access to the Old Boys Club through Will and Peter. So in many ways TGW is a commentary on the opportunities that people with privilege have. Contrast that to what happened to Geneva Pine or Maton Brady or Cary Agos (he is privileged…

The ratings in absolute numbers are actually fine. TGW averages about 9 million viewers each week. For comparison Breaking Bad had about 10 million viewers for its finale and Homeland had 1.9 million viewers for its season premiere on Sunday. The issue is that the key demographic that advertisers want is 18-49 yo and…
