Diane Lockhart, I LOVE HER! I'm actually not following this last season, I got bored at some point, but I think I'm gonna catch up with the last episodes because I wanna see how it ends. Diane is my fave lady.
Arya and Sally, tiny sassy girls! Emily Gilmore, so underrated! I love them! And also Willow.
The Good Wife's definitely gone downhill. For starters, less Diane! I'm in it till the bitter end, though. As a mostly-procedural, it can't go too wrong when there's an interesting case. It just doesn't fire on as many character and long-term arc cylinders

Hey all the great people from the shows I watch! And I love Carmella from, uh, the first six eps of The Sopranos. (One of these days...I will get to seven

"A girl lacks honor" seems like something that could be a tagline for many here -- where "honor" is NOT the same as goodness. Willow, Sally, Arya, and to some degree Elaine and Diane have that...upstart subversiveness and ethical pragmatism (within the respective bounds of their series).I really love this! I adore "A girl has no honor" as a theme for my favorites! IMO, it also applies to CJ Cregg, Juliette Barnes, Annie Edison, Taystee Jefferson, and Tara Thornton

Yeah, I mean, Buffy, Willow and Arya have some specific sorts of privilege, whether it's slayer powers, some economic security & genius intellect, or having the one father in Westeros with both the means and the inclination to arrange and encourage fighting lessons for a young woman. However these are pretty heavily blunted by the downsides that come with the life they are thrust into. There is some ambivalence in Diane and Sally about their life, but they are more clear on the ways in which they have specific advantages that give them a leg up on *avoiding*/traversing major problems which others don't have, as opposed to "things that slightly mitigate the horror of being a child soldier with loved ones dropping left and right violently." Whereas, Cersei recognizes that there is injustice in the way men vs. women are treated but largely believes that she is indeed superior to all other women

I think Alicia had a mix of an ego/St. Alicia objection to the partnership. Alicia was under the impression that she deserved it and it hurt her ego to find out that it was a partly a scheme to raise money. However, she never really acted like she wanted to turn it down. Instead, Alicia was somewhat fishing for an affirmation that her legal acumen earned her the partnership along with an opportunity to make a "righteous" stand against that improper way of doing business so Alicia could feel like she told truth to power before she inevitably accepted the partnership. Diane resented both, knowing that Alicia remained interested in accepting the partnership. Diane was annoyed that Alicia wanted an extra pat on the back as if being made partner in a big firm (albeit a little down on its luck) wasn't enough and that Alicia was acting morally above the place where she works and where she wanted to accept the partnership. And I think Diane knows that Alicia would probably do the same slightly unorthodox money-raising if she was a partner,

I had the same dilemma. Some quotes are classics for a reason but I always feel the impulse to dig out something more obscure. :D
I know, right? And I don't want to be lopsided with the characters too. CJ Cregg/Carmela Soprano talked A LOT over their seven season character-driven shows, more than two-season show (Atia) or a procedural where most dialogue advances the weekly plot (Diane).
I remember this episode! It's Gilmore Girls at its best. The show looks so bright and fluffy and yet it has some really hardcore undertones that can bubble to the surface and make for great drama. I thought Richard was going to have a heart attack when he got all red in the face with Christopher's parents.I recently wrote elsewhere that Emily and Richard's approval was VERY conditional and that's problematic. However, their *love* for Lorelai and Rory couldn't be more unconditional. I love how Lorelai experiences it in that ep in multiple ways. Richard getting red in the face against the Haydens, but also Richard still holding a grudge against
