Ok, Clubbers, I have to run in a few and teach my students about standard deviations so will have to respond with more of my own thoughts later, but for the sake of getting the post up...
Wooooooow. I can honestly say I was NOT expecting that. And it is sad and heartbreaking and OH GOD, KALINDA IS CRYING AND EVERYONE WILL BE BROKEN. D: D:
I will say this... I liked Will, and I sort of adored JC. But I admire this move on the part of the show and writers. I've lost patience with "play it safe" shows that tease SHOCKING TWISTS only to have them be fake-outs or something you saw coming from a mile away. If you are going to go there, GO THERE. JC was leaving anyway, might as well get the biggest bang for your buck. This will profoundly affect the other characters in a way that will be very interesting to watch.
But poor William. :( :(
Will be back later to discuss other important details -- namely our level of hope that this will in any way improve the chances of getting A/K in the same room together, or if maybe Kalinda will just be the NEXT casualty. But in the meantime, spill your guts here!
