The Good Wife - 3/30 (spoilers possible)

[phoenixrising]

Thoughts?

I love Diane so much.

[my4girls]

I cried. a lot. when Alicia came back and she and Diane hugged- bawled. I am glad they didn't make some cliched Will's dying words were about how much he loved Alicia. and I am really glad she discovered (or assumed, at least) that he wasn't calling her because he was pissed about the client poaching

[nonsenseabound]

Diane was totally badass about how she fired that client and ensured that no one else would take him as their client.

I thought Alicia was really hard on Grace. I get that she was all lost and she doesn't believe in God, but I thought she was unnecessarily rude. I thought Grace was sweet.

[Ashley&Scott]

I loved that Diane fired that client. I also loved that David Lee wasn't the selfish jerk he usually is.

[WinterIsComing]

Diane firing the client was awesome! Also, Cary's response in the depositions was great (I love him!).

David Lee getting a little emotional in the conference room made me like him a little more, maybe he does have a non-jerky side to him.

I also thought Alicia was a little rude to Grace. I think how Grace approached her was very reasonable and not pushing religion, just offering her opinion. I get that Alicia is grieving but her response was a little much.

[my4girls]

Cary was awesome! I love him

I can't say more than what was said - Diane rocked ass, Cary was fantastic, loved seeing the human side of David Lee. All of it.

The one thing that bugged me - and I realize it was done to add some humor to the episode - but when Eli was reading that speech that supposedly Alicia was going to give, all I thought was "There is NO WAY Alicia would have ever said that stuff". Especially the "man I've shared a bed with for 18 years".

[ECB]

Oh, and when David Lee first left the conference room, I was thinking "Don't TELL me he's going to run and try to angle something with Will's death", but then when they showed him go to the other conference room and actually almost cry... it kind of made me almost cry!

I kept thinking David Lee was up to no good. I was glad to be wrong.

I loved Diane's firing of the client & making sure no one else would take him. & the "This is EXACTLY what Will would have done".

The Alicia/Peter scenes were so awkward. How do you handle your wife grieving over her lover?

I didn't like the Kalinda line; offering the belt to the shooter and taking it away. I get it, but it was weird.

It's interesting - I kind of think Will dying will end up being the end of her marriage.  There is something about doing the "right" thing and staying with your husband, etc.  But I think in losing Will, she's going to realize that she doesn't want to waste anymore time in a marriage that just isn't QUITE working for her.  While she may love Peter, she doesn't LOVE him and she wants to LOVE someone.  Like Will.  But now it's too late....

Kalinda- I wasn't thrilled w/ that scene either.  I get her anger, and all that.  But there was just something to that.... I think a part of it is that I feel sorry for the guy.  Yes, he should go to jail and all that - but I feel like that whole thing was written and played out well that I feel for him.

(and someone else too)

He killed the witness - the professor who probably did kill the girl.  That's why the kid was flipping out - the professor was totally lying about he and the girl being in the same group, etc.

I just watched it, and OMG, so much crying.

It's not quite above the Jurassic Bark episode of Futurama for ultimate sadness, but it's definitely worse than when Dr. Green died on ER.

I felt like all of the characters reactions just fit so beautifully. I loved the humanity in David, the anger in Cary and Diane, and the searching for answers from Alicia and Kalinda. It didn't bug me about Alicia and Grace's interaction; when you don't believe in a god, having someone saying your dead loved one is with God, is the most infuriating thing ever.

God Jurassic Bark is the worst. I can't even watch that episode.
