Good Wife

[shadowkat]

Now, I want spoilers on The Good Wife. I'm worried about where they are going.



* Do not want Will/Alicia. Damn her Mom. Will is creepy. I do not understand what she sees in him - his manipulative and a bit of a scoundrel. I want Alicia/Peter and I want Alicia to join Carey and the four other associates in their own little firm. Ditch Lockhardt & Gardner, Alicia. Now. Go off with Carey and become the new Will and Diane. (Sigh, I ship Alicia:Carey hard. Can't you tell?)

* Case of the week was amusing and realistic for a change. Yes, it's like that. Unfortunately unions aren't that helpful. Had a lengthy chat about them with a co-worker who majored in labor relations regarding our own lame-ass union, which is doing everything wrong. We vote on nothing except union reps, we get no vote on other things or information on them, or explanations. It's horrible. I want to kick our union.

* Kalinda and Will are a manipulative piece of work. Felt sorry for Carey. And David Lee continues to be a hoot, as does Stockard Channing as Alicia's mom and of course Owen, her bro, who I adore.

Good unions are really helpful. Unfortunately, unions are made up of people, and many people suck. And unfocused unions can just create one more headache.

I'm not a huge shipper, and I'm definitely not a fan of triangles on the show. I do feel like they've been setting up Alicia slipping out with Cary's new firm, but then, she did let them buy her off like they did with the assistants this week...

Just surfing in.

No one wants Will/Alicia for all the excellent reasons you lay out above. I'm not even sure Alica wants Will/Alicia. Maybe the writers don't know what else to do with Will and he's on contract. I don't even know.

Kalinda! She surprised me. But hey, she can do it and did. But someday she'll get caught at her own game. Will had a point. She wants independence and health insurance. Can't always have it all.

Unfortunately our union is fairly unfocused or so it seems.

Agreed on Good Wife. Not really a shipper for this series either, outside of the friendships.

It does feel like they've been setting Alicia and Carey to start their own firm together for quite some time now...wonder if her attraction to Will is meant to be the final boiling point?

Can't always have it all seems to be a theme here - you have to give up or compromise something. The judge kept saying let's compromise without really compromising.

I wonder if the Will/Alicia relationship is meant to push Alicia out of Lockhardt/Gardner to her own firm??

Maybe it is? But a lot is riding on what happens with Peter. If Peter wins, and at this point that's a big if, I can't see her leaving the firm for some reason.

Only two more eps until we find out!

I can't say I want Will/Alicia, but I don't really want Peter/Alicia, either. I'd like to see her meet someone else entirely.

And I'd like to see her in more scenes with Diane, but that might be just because I like Diane...

Actually I don't see why Alicia couldn't be pleasantly single without any romantic love interest at the end.

It is possible to be happy without one. Actually in some cases you are happier...and Alicia has the worst taste in men. A yen for the bad boys.

From a narrative stand-point? It's more interesting if they keep her involved with Peter for the time being...but it doesn't have to be the end-game.

Hate to break this to you, but actually there's only one. The Season Finale is next Sunday. And it's getting rave reviews. Supposed to be amazing from start to finish, and don't miss the final four frames of it.

Wow! That went fast. I even skipped a few eps this season I was so bored. The finale is that exciting? I am curious what will happen. :-)

Oh, agreed to the idea of Alicia being on her own. For sure.

I'd be happy to see them take the story there, but it's definitely not something you see often.
