The Good Wife - Season 5 (1 Viewer)

Holy Moly what a roller coaster of a season finale! Loved every hilarious, queasy, heartbreaking moment of it.

I have to say that I actually thought Cary was already alert to Kalinda's machinations, but I guess not. That certainly was an intense scene between the two of them! Wow!

I did suspect all along that Diane would join Florrick/Agos once Will had died, but I had no idea Florrick might not be a part of the name any more.

Is it September already?

Hands down the best season of Good Wife to date - when you think back to the start of the season and Alicia and Carey hadn't even left Lockhart Gardner and a lot has happened - thankfully there is more to come as I was worried it would get cancelled and yet again it looks like they are taking the characters in interesting new directions and changing the relationships. I expected Diane's suggestion to Cary and Alicia but was surprised by the offer to Alicia, though it makes perfect sense and will give the character something different.

Another season to look forward to.

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 motion set my heart racing like nothing else?Things were said that may not be unsaid. I don't relish the prospect of Alicia and Carey again divided. More so, when Carey was right.We must discuss more, this week

I'm beginning to wonder seriously if the long term plan doesn't end with Alicia being the one recruited to be senator of Illinois.
