What a superb closer. Neil notes that it was lighter. It was in a Good Wife way: the lightness is electric and punctuated by scenes of terrible fury! And that slow zoom. That slow, quiet pull in. It is so simple, so plain compared to the chaos of modern action shows. Why does that subdued camera...

That was a snappy episode, weaving a fun throwaway story in with significant story arcs. Tom Skerritt as beleaguered billionaire was yet another amazing tertiary character. It was great to watch him keep digging holes, as he was unable to not express his Ayn-Randian frustration with the takers...

Hah. Interesting. I've never seen buffering go backwards! I'll tell my wife it can happen. It didn't make sense to me, since it implied data was being lost.

But then they had the Netflix "buffering" meter go backwards. :)The pieces were moved on the chess board. But it wasn't an especially interesting story in which it was done. By Good Wife standards.

I found this episode harder to get into than the rest of the season. The "Silk Road" story felt like rehashed bit coin episodes and ended with neither satisfying resolution nor intriguing uncertainty. Alicia on holiday wasn't that interesting: that was probably part of the point, but didn't pull...

A while back, I commented on the incredible production values of The Good Wife. That was extraordinarily evident this episode. The comments on the frantic pacing, juggling multiple plots, and secondary characters. But for me it was the courtroom trauma. All the effort invested for a gunshot, for...

Wow! Completely wow!Finn's flashbacks in the courtroom are the most startling, unsettling scenes I've experienced in a while.The unreliable narrator motif they're playing with is effective: I didn't know which way was up at times. Did Alicia dissemble about the timeframe for which she could...

Interesting perspective. I have some work experience, but of course it's not necessarily representative of the NSA, and may be more conservative. You know those purple USB dongles used as hardware keys for niche engineering software? They actually hold 100 bytes of data for their security "key"...

In that facility, you'd never even bring in a USB drive. That per se is a security violation. I'm speculating from related experience, but it's not a normal office where people bring their iPhones and thumb drives to copy personal materials from work computers. That stuff never enters the door...

After a pair of emotionally draining episodes, it was good to have a lighter, snappier story.The Good Wife continues to impress me with its depiction of technology in its stories. I think it does the best job of any show in years, even the best scifi. It isn't rigorously accurate, but it has...

That was a tough episode to watch: watching coma-inducing depression after losing a loved brings back tough memories.Watching Alicia demolish the professor in the divorce/custody case ... Her performance was inchoate anger focused at the task at hand. Amazing, frightening. And sad.Kalinda...

One of the best hours of TV I've seen. The hollowness of Diane walking out of the elevator into LG was perfectly matched to my experiences. David Lee taking a very brief moment in an empty conference room was a powerful 5 sec of character development. It rocked me back. I had to get the tissues...

How about that. I've been doing TV forum for over a decade and never heard of that before. Always fun to learn something new :)

What's a "shipper"? I've seen this elsewhere and can't figure it out, except as shorthand for "worshiper", which also doesn't make sense???

As the episode started, I was reflecting on the incredible editing this show has. The attention to music choices. The exquisite timing of cuts. The myriad of scenes and locations. The diversity of characters. And the craftsman of every episode, for five seasons, has not waivered. The Good Wife...

Anyone have trouble with this episode? My TiVo didn't record last night's. No idea what happened.

That was an amazing episode. Incredible pickup after the Olympic break. Where else do I watch Wally Shawn and be afraid, really afraid of his character?

Victor Garber's increasing frazzledness was impressive. I didn't know anything of the new Springsteen album, but was impressed, as always, by the episode's music. I also loved the abrupt cuts away from the exploding courtroom arguments to calmer scenes. Seeing Alicia lose it in front of Peter...

Of course, I love Kalinda for her complexity. She's one of the most interesting characters on TV. And while ruthless, she still elicits my sympathy.

Kalinda and Alicia's relationship fractured when Alicia became partner, I think. But even more so when Kalinda felt slighted by Carey for choosing the other investigator. Which, as Patrick gets at, reinforced that Kalinda is fully self-centered; she's a scared child. She was completely willing...

I also love Adam's transformative work of Icarus, who flew close enough to the sun to hang himself from it :D

A fun return after the Christmas break. It was fun seeing TGW do its take on the Glee ripoff of the Coulton (?) cover from last year. I loved the rock duo. They finally gave a voice to me, the viewer! Kalinda continues the return to her badass, deeply guarded self. I'm surprised by the...

If you're not watch this season of The Good Wife, you need to re-evaluate your priorities in life. Fantastic episode. The mini psycho drama of Wil trying to map out his questioning of Alicia, it devolving to his base anger of feeling betrayed in love was riveting and unexpected tv...

David Lee is delectable. Jackie is currently Eli's foil. I don't quite understand her purpose on the show this season, or Eli's exaggerated reaction to her. I'm ambivalent to their coupling. I liked it better when she was crossing swords with Alicia.

I enjoyed the episode. This is my favorite show on TV right now. It hits the perfect balance of smart, intense, and lively fun. And they're actively reworking the show to keep it fresh. (Jackie's dementia is jettisoned and she's again smart as a whip.)I'm impressed that five seasons in, it's as...

I love seeing Eli twitterpated. Somehow, with a flip of the hair and widening of the smile, Alan Cummings turns his character from uptight pro, to nervous teen.I don't have a clue what's happening with Melissa George's character. Her pregnancy came on unexpectedly a few episodes ago. I thought...

Everything is working this season. They've wound up all these characters the past four years, and now' they're completely unspooling them. All the relationships are playing out. The side plots are tighter. The secondary story with Grace feels more integrated than some efforts in past years...

Wow!Best. Season. Ever.

Kalinda is a woman scorned.Carey knows what she did. He always holds out hope...and even if she provides info to him to "repair" things, is she really playing a longer con in working for Wil?

That was the best legal drama I've seen since The Practice was at the top of its game.
