The Good Wife

I watched what I didn't see before.

The kids left.

(Jason left earlier?)

She doesn't take Big's hand, which is finally "leaving" her husband, because she thinks she sees Jason.

It wasn't Jason.

Diane Smacks her.

Which is Diane's way of saying "you're fired" I suppose?

So she doesn't have a boyfriend, kids, husband or job.

Alicia disassembled.

All the Good Wife has left, is wine.

But I already sat through 6 seasons of Cougar Town, so no thank you.

Good episode, terrible ending.

The episode was itself great apart from the ending.

BTW cougar town? That went for 6 seasons blimey
 
I liked the finale, but then I'm someone who doesn't need every last i dotted and every last t crossed. It certainly wasn't great, but neither was it the utter dud I've seen it made out to be. Some random thoughts:

* This is something I'd only ever say about a fictional character and I'm not entirely comfortable saying it even then, but I'm glad someone slapped Alicia. She's become more and more unlikeable as the series has progressed and has taken on more of Peter's more unfortunate characteristics. I hadn't expected Diane to react in quite that way to Alicia's cynical and (to Diane's mind) inexcusable betrayal, but I'm...not unhappy she did it.

* I don't think the show ever regained its footing after Josh Charles left. His appearance in the finale merely confirmed that.

* I like that we didn't find out if Alicia ended up with cypher-man, or Jason or whatever he was called, because we knew so little about him that I didn't care if they got together or not.

* it says something about this series that it had so many (IMO) unpleasant, unlikeable characters and managed to make them so interesting, if not compelling. I disliked Alicia more and more as the series progressed but I always wanted to know what happened next.

* of course, it also had some of the best recurring characters any show ever had. If it's possible to genuinely miss a fictional person, I'm going to miss Elsbeth Tascioni. And the real version of Kalinda Sharma.

I'll also miss this series. As uneven as it's been at times, at its best it was quite brilliant.
 
One of my fav's is the episode with Elsbeth stuck in jail and then showing up at the end to fix the situation infront of Will & gang.
 
Me too. Too bad they had to 'replace' her with her ex-husband for the last few episodes. I was all excited and then... :sigh::confused::thumbdown:
Yeah, I could really have done without the (rather dull) ex. And the dog.


As for the potential spin-off, if Christine Baranski is in it I'll watch it.
 
I am at the beginning of season six now. Am I the only one to really dislike Kalinda as a character?
 
I liked Kalinda, I thought they were all pretty badass and sneaky at times. Amanada Lockhart was a sneaky sneaky, at times. I liked her
 
No. The show was in the habit of thinking she was badass, when really she was just needy and lacking in morals.
Yes, it was like they were trying to portray her as cool, badass and independent, but to me it seemed that she was a sociopath. I hated how she would constantly use people, seeing them merely as sources of whatever she needed in the moment, regardless of their feelings.
