The Good Wife, season 6 finale
The Good Wife 6.22 Wanna Partner?
Peter for Veep? Oh, good grief. And Peter and Eli should know how Alicia feels about the people who nominated him (i.e. why should I do anything for them?)
Wallace Shawn exudes impressive menace in this role, doesn’t he, although a part of me loved how far down Diane looked down at him? It was nice that Alicia’s lie about Kalinda in the last ep came back to bite her.
I like that Cary still automatically takes Alicia’s call, even when he doesn’t know what it’s going to be about, although maybe any break from David Lee and Diane bickering being welcome is understandable. (See previous ‘Why David Lee?’ comments.)
I would imagine Alicia has only just started interfering with police matters (that are ripped from the headlines).
Never mind the missing Kalinda, does Robyn get any investigative work these days?
Subtle, Diane. I’m sure you talk to every new paralegal.
It only took until NOW for Grace to call her parents out on being married in name alone. I thought Alicia’s position was fair enough on Peter’s run and its effect on the family.
Officer Whatshisface has never heard of patient confidentiality!?
When I said never mind Kalinda, obviously I didn’t mind her confronting Lester, but I spent all of the big goodbye scene with Alicia thinking about how they hadn’t got the sightlines right when they matched stuff, which took away from the emotional impact.
Simone wanting to do it all herself would be more powerful if she were in another profession, in a firm that had had less to do with Canning. But ha, I hope that Diane is uncomfortable in the bed that she let David Lee build and that Louis Canning is going to burn down.
Oh, isn’t Mathew Goode good at implying all he needs to wordlessly, even if Finn is settling into a Will-shaped space. Or looked like he was going to be until he made his goodbye speech, about which I got most upset because does that mean that Goode is picking the last series of Downton Abbey? Alicia/Finn felt like it was too much of a retread to get invested in, but still.
I was making jokes about a paralegal and investigator being free to staff Alicia’s one-woman firm, but Canning turning up just makes me think about all the pointless machinations of the last season and a half rather than gasping. Besides, I don’t think that sticking it to Diane and co. is going to paper over the different compulsions driving the two lawyers.
So, it is goodbye for Kalinda - who was more upset about her friendship with Alicia than anything, (alas, poor Cary) but got to say ‘I’m good’. Why would you turn down a man who’s been trying to intimidate you and whose last straw was a lecture about you not being demure enough for his tastes? I’m not so sure about whether it’s goodbye Finn.
Regardless, I wish Alicia would just cut the ties with Peter.
More, I would like someone to guarantee that the next season is an improvement, because the callbacks to when Alicia and Kalinda were friend and when what Diane and Cary did mattered, and when the show was good, just mildly depressed me. There is too much retreading, and I’m getting less and less invested.
