Wow, I can not believe who they killed off. Was it a contract thing or purely a writers' decision?
I don't know if people watching it as it was first airing already knew what was going to happen but it came completely out of the blue for me.

The actor gave the showrunners a heads-up over a year in advance that he wanted to move onto other creative endeavors. The writers chose the death of the character (as opposed to having the character go to prison or leave town) because they felt it would be a good way to jolt Alicia into the next stage of her life.
In my headcanon this guy is Richard Albert, after he came off the island, with a new name and identity.
Watching the season 6 premiere. Cary is seriously the O'Brien of The Good Wife.
CARY AGOS MUST SUFFER!

Does anyone know if The Good Wife is considered a realistic depiction of the legal system? It certainly *seems* more realistic than other crime and legal dramas, but I don't know if that's true or just good salesmanship.
I repeat, if it is a realistic depiction of the legal system, it is depressing as ****. Like, if I'm ever falsely accused of a crime, only a really good liar will set me free.

Julius Cain appeared in the episode, but wait, shouldn't he still work and whatever the original firm is now called? I remember David Lee officially joining Florrick Agos Lockhart but not Cain, did the writers forget for a moment that the firm even changed because everything else about it was reset?
Right now seeing some major parallels between Parks and Recreation storylines and these ones, is Alicia's stay as SA going to be anything like Leslie's stay on the city council, only less funny?

The way that arc turned out doesn't sit that well with me. It makes sense from a TV standpoint, yeah gotta keep the cast together can't let her exit the firm. But they didn't even give Alicia a chance to try out the job so it feels like a waste of a storyline.
Also I am starting to resent the way they keep teasing reconciliation between the main cast and ripping it away.
I hate it when shows emotionally jerk you around and it's starting to feel like that.

Yeah, ever since Diane jumped back over it's felt like conflict for conflict sake. Not that it's bad, it just feels like these people shouldn't keep nearly reconciling then offending each other again.
And this new investigator, not that he's a bad character at all, just you can practically hear the writers thinking 'Ok how can we out-dark Kalinda?'

I've caught up to the point in the series we were at when I started this thread, six or so episodes left. (Whole reason I started this thread to talk about Good Wife without spoilers).
Diane wants Alicia to help her get out Cary. Can't we just screw David Lee somehow and let all the likable characters get along?
I find myself rooting for Peter to get his comeuppance somehow without hurting Alicia. Stop using that corrupt criminal for his name and just have your own career Alicia!
There's a spinoff right. Is that any good? Is that still going on?
Edit: After Wikipedia help. I was going to say, I wish Quinn came into the show earlier. She's in the spinoff too? Need to check this out.

I've enjoyed the spin-off (The Good Fight). It's only available on CBS All Access. The first season was 10 episodes, and the second season is getting 13 episodes.
That ending was decent but somehow unsatisfying. The implication seems to be that Alicia will do what Eli wants moving forward. She loses what she wants both career-wise and relationship-wise. Would have been nice to have some kind of happiness moving forward.
