so i have caught up on the good wife.
And I already have plans to enlist on a rewatch. And here are thoughts, mostly about the recent turn of events, but also with some rehash of general series thoughts, which probably is a much more coherent reaction than the last post.
So I'm not quite sure what to make of this whole Kalinda/Peter thing. I mean, I am kind of looking forward to the effect that the reveal will have on these various relationships but I have come to adore Kalinda and Alicia's friendship so I really want to know what's going to happen there. And the timing of it - Peter has just started falling back in love with her, and I think she's still mostly in a state of ambivalence about her marriage where she wants to make it work but at the same time, she doesn't feel the same intensity of emotion that she used to for him. And this whole debacle is obviously going to reintroduce the entire issue of trust, and given that it is someone that she know as compared to Amber Madison, who was just a call girl? (And the fact that it is tied up with the idea of doing a political favor for Kalinda makes this more than a little weird.)
I don't know. I'm in a weird place because I'm so invested in so many relationships and it is just not going to turn out well.
In terms of shipping things:
I feel like we haven't had a Will/Alicia shippy scene in a while, and I'm curious to see how this works out. The reveal is obviously going to fuck with these kids as much as it's going to fuck with Peter/Alicia and the thing is that if anything, it'll push Will further into friend territory because I hardly think he's the type to capitalize on this business. Also, we haven't seen Tammy in a while either and I just want to know all of the things.
Also, I'm kind of interested to see what this will do for Cary and Kalinda's relationship as well. Cary's involved his professional life in his personal life because he keeps doing these things to safeguard her, and his personal interest has been pretty well advertised. And once this comes out, I'm interested to see what happens with him.
And in other news, I kind of ship Eli/Natalie? And I don't know how I feel about this. It isn't particularly a strong feeling - certainly not as strong as my feelings for Will/Alicia - but there is something there, and I don't know if the show wants me to ship it or not. Hmmm.
Hopefully, I'll have more thoughts once I finish my rewatch.
In other news, if anyone has any fic recs for The Good Wife (particularly, Will/Alicia or Cary/Kalinda), please leave them here. :D
I should be doing my homework.
Also, judge me if you will, but I really kind of want to see Water for Elephants. Good job, marketing/promotion team.
