good wife

For about 20 minutes, my heart pounded and I was on the complete edge of a fangirl flail because I THOUGHT the show was going to give us, Florrick/Agos and that they were going to take Kalinda on as a partner [because for realz nothing happens on that show without K's manipulation]

and then she chose to stay with the firm and I seriously contemplated writing ~100,000 Florrick/Agos/Sharma AU and then I was tired and went to bed.

DAMN YOU SHOW FOR TEASING ME WITH AMAZING THINGS THAT AREN'T GOING TO HAPPEN

Despite the fist-shaking at the end of this, I now know what I'm watching tonight, thank you! :D

to be clear, those are law firm partnerships, not shipper relationships ;-)

REGARDLESS

Ahahaha, yeah, I actually did have to parse that a few times to be sure, but Yes :D.

still sobbing over what could have been.

ME TOO

If the show had gone in that direction I would have been ecstatic. ECSTATIC. Their faces when they talked about it they looked so eager and hungry I just knew it was going to happen.

AND THEN. Stupid Will Gardner. I really don't like him.

AND DIANE even pissed me off, with that whole, 'we're peers now'

how CONDESCENDING

I figured Diane was being condescending because she was pissed at Alicia - mostly for not having been as excited about the idea of partner as she wanted her to be, but also the mock trial stuff and lunches (which seemed sort of silly, honestly).

This whole story line felt rushed to me. I mean, I guess I was glad that making partner didn't get its whole season or something? But it's early for that, and the whole "we have lots of money now, yay! Let's back out of a spoken contract with other lawyers" start seemed... implausible. I did enjoy David being smarmier than ever, and the idea of Florrick/Argos, although that seemed premature, just as Alicia said. But maybe they'll go that way some day? It made me happy that they're still sharing an office, even though the firm was in the black, mostly because I've enjoyed their dynamic. They were great during the mock trial.

Mostly, though, I was really glad that Elsbeth and Eli got their story line. Even if the whole DoJ thing has Also seemed pretty out there at times, I pretty much love their faces doing anything, even Eli looking worried for most of the episode.

Turned out I hadn't seen the last one or this one, so TGW was pretty much how I spent my whole evening. I should've played guitar and meditated to meet my goals? But this was a lot more fun, so no regrets :D.

ITA with everything you've said here. So much of this season has been completely out of left field and FAR more difficult to believe without suspending ALL belief.

Elsbeth was AMAZING but beyond that the entire scenario just feels bizarre.

Thankfully, not as horribly bizarre as that whole Kalinda thing, but still.

In my dreams, Alicia took her 300k put it with Cary's and they asked Kalinda to join as a partner. Kalinda accepted but wouldn't allow them to put her name on the sign.

Yeah, if the acting weren't so good, and the relationships so generally satisfying, I'd say the show had signs of jumping the shark, because they just keep flying from one crisis to another - I want to write them that it's a Drama, not a Dramalama.

OTOH, I really liked the bit where Alicia said she was an atheist. It makes me very happy when she asserts herself in small ways.

ME TOO. Alicia's anger and staunchness in defending herself in the past two episodes have made me cheer for her, so I will continue to tune in as long as those kinds of things keep happening
