I think I may be getting the hang of this posting thing... (or maybe not)
The Good Wife
I really hate to say this, but I've kind of given up on Alicia. Not necessarily that I dislike her, but she is such an enigma to me that I just cannot understand why she does anything that she does.
This latest episode I got so excited at the idea of of Cary, Alicia and the other four-years (and Kalinda, of course) breaking off and opening up their own shop, at least for the rest of the season. Because it would have shaken things up and allowed the writers to give us new takes on the characters. Not to mention the fact that it would have been great to see those core three bonding and working together in a way they haven't since the early seasons, as well as being in focus in a way we haven't since then. But then it all came to naught and now Alicia is the establishment, pretty much the opposite of what I wanted.
It's a good thing I still love the other characters so much! I'm especially glad to be loving Cary so much this season. I hope the moment of him and Kalinda on the outside while Alicia became an equity partner foreshadows more scenes of them working together from here on out.
Hart of Dixie
So, the other shoe finally dropped. Since they put Zoey and Wade together I've been waiting for them to unravel it and get back to their It Couple. And - unless they pull a fast one on us - the beginning of the end has arrived. And to be honest? I'm kind of relieved. Because now I can finally stop waiting for them ruin a good thing (i.e. the couple that I 'ship) for The Most Boring 'Ship to Ever Sail.
It's almost weird how I've never trusted the writers for a minute, even though they kept Zoey/Wade going for more than half a season.
The Americans
This show could turn out to be so gooooood, and I only hope it lives up to its promise.
One thing I've mentioned elsewhere is that I'm only confused about where it's going. Will they defect or will they keep working for Mother Russia? Because if the latter, how long can we keep rooting for Phillip and Elizabeth when them winning also means the Soviet Union winning? Will they perhaps strike out on their own?
Whatever happens, I hope they surprise me. Because that's the best sign that they are doing everything right.
New Girl
Nick's "I couldn't help it" did almost more to make me 'ship them than the kiss the other week. Because he's fighting his feelings, but they're too strong (!) and he just has to lean in (!!!) (also, she dropped her fishsticks)... And then of course Schmidt has to ruin it.
Also, I love Daisy and I hope she sticks around for a long long time.
Heh, also I loved the Purple Nurple That Wasn't, because the first time we saw Schmidt without his shirt I couldn't believe that Community hadn't gotten Max Greenfield to play Vaughn, because they wouldn't have had to use any makeup at all to cover those teensy tiny nipples.

So far I've enjoyed the episodes, but I honestly can't tell what Dan Harmon's absence is doing to the quality of the show, if anything.
Lost Girl
I've had this yen for Kenzi/Dyson since his love for Bo was taken from him, but this latest episode just cranked it up to eleven. Oh man, his distress when he couldn't tell if he'd killed the real her or not!
In other 'shipping news, Bo/Lauren does absolutely nothing for me, but Bo/Tamsin, on the other hand? Yes, please!
Still haven't watched this week's Revenge, and I'm not sure I will. It's really hard to work up any sort of enthusiasm for that show. In surprising news, I'm still watching Deception. Surprising to me, that is, because I was ready to drop it, but then I watched episode 5, which was actually kind of intriguing.
