I seen every episode so it doesn't matter to me but just saying "Don't read..." at the top and then posting a spoiler two lines under, right out in the open, may not go over well with some folks. Hint: [lj-cut text="your text here"] is how to make an LJ cut. Just replace the [ ] with < > and add your own text. ;)
Having said that, I have no idea so I'll guess three episodes from now. I agree with you re: Peter.
I think it is interesting that he claims he has "fallen BACK in love with her," yet its obvious that she loved him then but doesn't love him anymore. I kind of feel like when she does find out she'll feel more betrayed by Kalinda than by Peter, since she doesn't fully trust him anyway.
I'm still not sure who I want her to be with. I'm not big on her with Will, mostly because in what world does sleeping with your boss make things better? As for Peter I'm still torn. The Sex and the City fan in me still sees him as Mr. Big and thinks he will change, on the other hand the man slept with a hooker for heaven's sake!
Lol well yes he is, though Big did put Carrie through the wringer quite a lot before he turned into Prince Charming... I wish we got to see more of Peter being himself to know just how genuine he really is with Alicia, or if its just part of his political facade.
I think Alicia has tried really hard to "fall back in love" with him, saying it in Peter's own words.. but it's clear she hasn't succeeded.. even if I didn't like Will and Alicia, I objectively think she is in love with him.. and there's nothing you can do to choose who you love or don't love
I completely agree with you, OP. That scene between Peter and Kalinda actually did more to turn me off to Peter/Alicia than anything else he's ever done, including the pre-canon infidelity! Sure, he's ~in love with her~ but it's clear that he's only thinking about himself and what he wants, not what's best for Alicia. He doesn't love her enough to be honest with her. He doesn't even love her enough to protect her from potentially being ambushed by this news from a third party. He has chosen to leave her vulnerable to complete public humiliation, again. That decision, combined with him whitewashing the campaign and ditching Pastor Isaiah, pretty much confirms my sense that Peter hasn't changed at all
( ... )
I think Peter does love Alicia but there's a very selfish streak in that love.
I think Will loves Alicia too but in a strange way where he loves the idea of her, the idea of working together and sleeping together and happyfuntimes instead of what would happen where he would be a step-parent to teenagers and a myriad of other things. I almost don't think it would work because Will hasn't gotten so used to having an unrequited, yearning love that he would screw it up somehow.
And then finally, I think that Kalinda has sort of the purest love for Alicia. She sees who she is and is kind of surprised by how much she likes her. I don't necessarily think her feelings are romantic but I think that her feelings are less coloured by the past. Ironic considering how her past might tear her friendship with Alicia apart.
But I don't think I want Alicia with anyone presented so far. I kinda want to see her married to Peter but sort of give him a taste of his own medicine, though that's so out of her character to be knowingly cruel that way.
I totally agree with you. I can't imagine Will trying to do the whole husband/step-father role (nor can I see Alicia's kids standing for it).
I really love the friendship that Alicia and Kalinda have developed, and I really hope they find a way to hang on to that even after the truth about Peter/Kalinda comes out.
I know what you mean, I kinda really wanted Alicia to have an affair just to even the score...I know that sounds bad, but on some level I think it would have helped her forgive Peter or heal somewhat. Will just shouldn't be the one that she sleeps with because that would be WAY too messy. Either things need to REALLY change with Peter, or she needs to find someone new...or both lol.
