Reason number one why The Good Wife is better than your fave (imo and just, like, for this week. Let's not get too ahead of ourselves here, after all!).

Beautiful graphic! Tumblr is amazing for times such as these! Here's hoping this brings Kalinda, Alicia, Diane and Cary closer together.

It really is, and for so many reasons!

I've watched the sneak peek, I freaking LOVED the scene between Peter and Alicia. They are at their most compelling when they're being awful to each other, and that looks like all my wishes come true!

Also, Diane. God. Am I ever looking forward to her scenes in the next few episodes. And Cary! What is up with our bb boy do we think? Is it Will related? Do you think it could affect Cary that much? Or do you think it'll be Kalinda fall out? I WANT TO KNOW ALL THE THINGSSSSSSSSSSS!

I feel like all your TGW wishes are coming true!! I am going to enjoy what Alicia does here. And Kalinda. And obvs Diane. Basically, bring on the angst!

I feel like Cary had to be upset abt Will in some way even if only cause it's freaky to be shot in court. And yeah, it could be Kalinda blowback. Or the fact he occasionally wants to *be* Will in the metaphorical "we are the new Will and Diane" way.

I feel like all your TGW wishes are coming true!! I know!! My only disappointment is that Elspeth is starting her own firm and that it's Louis Canning and not her joining Diane. I am not a Louis Canning fan at all. I am, however, all for more Matthew Goode, and apparently he's going to be sticking around.

Basically, bring on the angst! THIS!

To be honest, I hope those possibilities you mentioned for Cary's outburst are ALL TRUE! I saw someone saying on Tumblr that they like Cary and find him sweet, but mostly that he's uninteresting and I felt like saying, HE'S ONLY UNINTERESTING BECAUSE HE GETS NO FREAKING SCREEN TIME! I mean, I get that he's one of my very faves and so there'll be people who don't find him interesting, regardless of how much screen time he gets, and that is obviously a-okay, but seriously. MORE PROPER SCREEN TIME, PLEASE.

#all about me

I feel like, given they've delivered on everything else I want recently, this might be a bridge too far, but we can only hope!

Thank you for posting this, because my twitter feed was freaking out about this episode and no one was going into specifics, and I don't even watch TGW, but I do feel the need to always know what is happening on television. And now I do!

waltzmatildah March 24 2014, 11:35:53 UTC

So pleased to have been informative for you! I'm usually decades behind w/r/t gossip, so this is exciting for me!!

but I do feel the need to always know what is happening on television. Legitimate requirement, tbqh.

Ahhhh! I am so mad I didn't stay up and watch it last night. It was delayed because of a basketball game and I was sleepy! And, of course, I was spoiled first thing this morning. (Okay, full disclosure there was a spoiler cut BUT I JUST COULDN'T RESIST CLICKING, OKAY?)

I no longer liked Will or Will/Alicia either. I used to but he was just SUCH A DICK when she left the firm like bordering on creepy and abusive and I could not with him anymore so, when I read about this my first thought was "OH MY GOD, ALICIA." And I love the way you framed it here that it's so what they do on pretty much every show when they kill women. It's all about some guy's man-pain and never about the woman's journey or her dying heroically or anything. And that Will died in some big traumatic event and it will fuel character growth FOR A BUNCH OF BADASS WOMEN CHARACTERS? That is a beautiful spin on something that is usually bullshit.

*waves a happy goodbye to Will* *sits back to watch the women on the show ACT THE SHIT OUT OF THIS*

mrsfjl66 March 25 2014, 06:00:31 UTC

Why won't lj let me copy shit rn? Basically, what you said about fabulous women killing it with this. Fuck yeah!

I'm cursing a lot today.

waltzmatildah March 25 2014, 06:23:09 UTC

Have you watched it yet?

How about now?

No?

What about now?

If nothing else, you need to see the back-half promo! DO ITTTTTT.

And that Will died in some big traumatic event and it will fuel character growth FOR A BUNCH OF BADASS WOMEN CHARACTERS? That is a beautiful spin on something that is usually bullshit. And Cary. Because mrsfjl66 and I would like that very much, but mostly, THE BADASS LADIES, YES!

mammothluv March 25 2014, 14:39:50 UTC

I did! It was the first thing I watched when I got home from work last night and GAHHHHHHH. Like I didn't even care for Will but the show did such a good job because SO MANY FEELINGS. It was funny because going into it knowing he would die they were so emotionally manipulative giving him the scenes they did with each character that was important to him before the shooting. OMG. And I mean that in the best way because the maximized the impact of his death in every possible way.

AND OMG THAT PROMO AND THE ALICIA AND DIANE HUGGING IN IT ESPECIALLY. AND ALICIA BEING ALL UNRAVELED AND KALINDA BEING ALL ALONE AND JESUS SOMEONE HELP US ALL BECAUSE HOW ARE WE GOING TO HANDLE ALL THESE FEELINGS.

revengent March 24 2014, 23:42:41 UTC

No love was here for Will either so my feelings on this is just like meh but I do feel bad for the other characters! I do like the idea of someone young and healthy dying sudden, because it's ~real and stuff.

SEE YA LATER, WILL

waltzmatildah March 25 2014, 06:24:23 UTC

but I do feel bad for the other characters! And excited for them, to see what comes next.

SEE YA LATER, WILL *waves*

SORRY, BUT I SAW IT LIKE TWO SECONDS AGO AND I AM DEVASTATED. I didn't even particularly care about Will (although I've been super enjoying him in S5) but I can't imagine TGW w/o him at all. And I genuinely do not find Michael J. Fox's character in any way comparable to Will's dynamic. I actually thought Josh Charles had great chemistry with a lot of the cast; Will/Kalinda, Will/Diane, Will/Peter etc. was always ridiculously good for me. I WOULD'VE BEEN OKAY WITH NO WILL/ALICIA (although their hate dynamic was A++ to me) EVER BUT IDK HOW I CAN HANDLE THE SHOW LIKE THIS.

waltzmatildah March 29 2014, 02:31:34 UTC

Sucks to be youuuuu!! I am over the moon! Even Josh Charles' FACE annoyed me. The only thing that annoyed me more than Josh's face was Louis Canning! Ha. So I'm sad about that part. Though Matthew Goode has had his arc extended!! Up, down, up!
