Yay picspam! The end scene was my favourite, what with Alicia's faces and whatnot. :) I have to ask, though... which episode was the phone call from/what was the call about? I definitely don't remember this. LOL.
The end scene was pure gold! So so funny and awkward.
The phonecall was a teeny-tiny blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene from episode 1x04. Basically Donna answers Kalinda's phone for her (offscreen), and it helped to confirm our suspicions that Kalinda might be bisexy. You can read my recap here, if you don't have the episode handy! :)
I'm so behind with this show, but after this I just had to go directly to this week's episode. KALINDA, YOU'RE AWESOME. I wish the rest of the show would've remained as awesome as she is.
But omg, KUDOS to the writers for remembering this mysterious Donna who had a blink-and-you-miss-it line over a year ago. Now that is some continuity!
Thanks so much for this picspam - lots of us flailing there with you :-).
I loved how they both made it explicit (oh, so nicely) that Kalinda *does* date women, *and* acknowledged the possibility that Kalinda may be crushing on Alicia (or, depending on your pov, threw a huge bone to Alicia/Kalinda shippers).
I actually don't mind Blake; I think he's been a good foil for Kalinda, and has been well-used narratively to reveal things about Kalinda and destabilize her quite a bit. The earlier eps this season probably featured him more prominently to establish the character, but now it looks like there'll be a more complicated web involving not just him and Kalinda, but Bond, possibly Will, maybe even Donna?
I love the fact they had Donna jealous of possible Alicia/Kalinda, because it encourages the viewer to suddenly analyse Kalinda's behaviour towards/around Alicia; and to stop and think wait a minute, maybe there is some truth to this! Hehe.
I'm looking forward to watching the previous five episodes and judging Blake accordingly ;)
Yes, the jealousy scene was beautiful (not to mention absolutely hilarious; like you say, JM has great comic expressions and timing). I personally doubt they'll go anywhere really with it as far as Alicia and Kalinda go, but they've already gone a lot further than I would have predicted, so who knows?
Interested to see what you'll think of Blake. There's a lot of Blake-hatred around, and not just amongst Alicia/Kalinda shippers (or Kalinda/f shippers of any ilk), but I think a lot of that means that the character has done what it's meant to ...
Is it too late to join this disco ball Flailing party?
Kudos on managing to cap that scene! All attempts I've seen remained largely unsuccessful! Soooo much Kalinda goodness in that episode! And even a load of Alicia/Kalinda awesomeness in one tiny scene! More questions than answers in the K/D situation but oh so delicious questions! I can't believe people don't see the chemistry! How long were she and Kalinda together? I have no earthly idea where (or when) the show is on a regular timeline now. Elections have not happened and it was September just a couple of weeks ago (or was it?) but I agree with Dars. Looks like she wasn't lying to Burton when she said she was in a relationship. Bad bad Kalinda! ;) We do know/suspect they were already together in Fixed so assuming they were only starting to date (which they probably weren't) that's... a long fucking time lol.
Do you think Blake could die of smirkitosis? He should. I never saw anyone wear a smirk that long. It could become infected.
I agree that Kalinda & Donna must have been together for quite a while before breaking up. So frustrating that we don't even know how they broke up! Other than Kalinda must have done the breaking. Bad Kalinda!
I never saw anyone wear a smirk that long. It could become infected. Haaaaaaa! I just hope Kalinda wins their game of one-up-manship, and he disappears into the night forever!
Nice recap since I watch the good wife in french a lot is being lost in translation. That scene in the bar is really sexy. I think maybe kalinda was a prostitute.Remember the scene in which she kisses the cop while he sits in his car. That would explain the way she uses sex and seduction. By the way there's something funny about Archie Panjabi:she was also kissing a girl in "public Affairs",and that was hot too.The clip's available on youtube. Definitely seems to enjoy that doesn't she???

I really want to know if they'd planned the Donna storyline all along, because if so, that's pretty awesome!
