The Good Wife 2x03: okay if you watched this episode, you knew I'd have some kind of comment.
Eli: "Do you think I'd be working for him if he were pro-Palestinian?"
........................................................................................*headdesk*. On so name levels. First, I am not entirely sure why the "gay support" was withheld at the idea of Peter being soft on Israel. Or did I miss something? Second, Jewish =/= "pro-Israel". SO MUCH NO. I accept that Eli is talking politics here and honestly I don't think he actually gives a fuck about Israel either way, but it was still a prominent statement. Third, I really dislike the pro-Israel/pro-Palestinian framing of the issue, like like wanting the Palestinians to have a state somehow means you're anti-Israel, what the fuck.
I do love Eli's spontaneous dinner invitation, though. "By the way, I invited him to a fast breaking meal at your house tomorrow night." I didn't even know people had fast breaking dinners! We've always had the big meal before the fast, but then after a day of fasting you break the fast with something small, like soup or bread or -- my mom's tradition -- baked apples.
...not that I am under any illusion that Eli had actually been fasting.
I did like them mentioning the boycotts, lol. Elvis Costello! The Pixies! Yes, they both boycotted this past summer, in an utterly douchey way. You want to ideologically boycott, I respect that, but please think about whether or not you should agree to perform here BEFORE YOU ANNOUNCE THE TOUR AND SELL TICKETS.
LOL at Jackie's... everything.
Oh shit Grace just asked about the flotillas >_<. I don't know if I want to watch this /o\
...okay, two lines, that was not a disaster. "Unprovoked attack" vs. "completely justified blockade", at least it's extreme rhetoric on both sides.
aaaand Jackie to the rescue again! I really dislike her character, but she's very enjoyable in this episode with her polite old school antisemitism.
Okay, man, I really love Alicia and Owen's interactions. And ALICIA. "You can't see anything in my eyes." THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. After years of being told in TV shows and movies that you can see things in people's eyes -- something I have never actually succeeded in doing in real life -- FINALLY ONE PERSON stands up and says NO. Alicia, I am slow clapping you right now.
Uuuuuuugh Peter you fucking jackass ugh. "Don't ever abandon her like that again." Fuck. Off.
LOLOL, Alicia's toast. "Everybody... atone." I can only assume then that this is not a fast breaking meal, but a fast-starting one? :/ IDK.
..........aaaaand I am beginning to ship Logan/Kalinda. Cary/Kalinda. Whatever his name is.
And then the end of the episode. &ALICIA;. With a side of &Julianna Margulies;. ♥.
