That's what I meant. Paige the religious daughter learned parents are spying and Alicia religious daughter learns mom was screwing boss...

Ah. I wasn't thinking a week ago, but that I missed something.

My DVR Verizon mess meant that some of the shows I had on auto record didn't record last week. Things seem back to normal... i hope.

I dunno. I think I like this show less than most of you and this season has been weak, imo. I was confused a lot, and disliked just about everyone this week. Really? There's a 'mix-up' with Alicia's return and this mess happens? Uh, dumb.

And not impressed with Kalinda's sendoff either.

This has been a terrible season compared to past ones.

I don't believe the flash drive of whatever-Kalinda-downloaded would ever be considered legally obtained evidence... And it looks like it came from Dex, but Geneva knows it didn't... No. That wouldn't work.

Sometimes fun to see misunderstandings get out of hand, but yes, just when it's all settled and Alicia and Diane have cleared the air, it's super-lame to say D.R.'s objections are going to be the reason Alicia can't rejoin the firm...

Yeah, I didn't like this one (except it was kinda fun to see Linda Lavin again).

Dax, I agree about the evidence. I didn't like the bickering either. Some goes a long way. Alicia buy out would not have gone through so she would still be partner. Deal would be null.

Not a good exit for Kalinda either.

Ditto, ditto, ditto. Not a fan of Kalinda's send-off or this season. Has it been renewed yet?

Not officially, but it's a safe bet it'll be back for one more season.

I actually liked this recent one more than most of the season..I still do not understand how Alicia is not part of the firm though as I thought the contract did not go through until she took office. Crappy send off for Kalinda.

Yeah, the second-to-last was pretty good, with all the flashbacks to Early Days - had to look, no that wasn't a first season case, it was just something we hadn't seen before... good job matching hairstyles and appearances of Six Years Ago Alicia and Cary... the quick flash of Alicia and Kalinda together in the bar (fighting over who pays) was, I think, a clip from an actual episode, but the talking heads were pretty obviously filmed separately...

They've teased a Kalinda appearance in the finale... it was good to see she was in this one, too...

Well, I would never remember if this was a case from 6 years ago, but they did manage to blend in some old stuff with new.

That was an excellent Salon article and I agree with it. If anything, it was too kind in some of its assessments.

Yeah.

There's still a lot to like about it, and I'm confident next season will be better, but... there were a number of missteps this season, and especially coming off of last season's 'wows' of the Alicia/Cary defection and the Will sudden death... this year has been a major letdown.

First year since Lost ended that I'm not able to say The Good Wife is my favorite network drama (still behind on a bunch of stuff, but I think I might say it's Scandal now...).

Came across this news on PTV : Josh Charles (Will Gardner) will be on Masters of Sex this season.

Finale was okay.

Kalinda softly blackmailing Mr. Lester was anti-climactic.

Ending was predictable, but a fun set-up anyway.

Ausiello was fooled, but has since learned he was duped - that Margulies and Panjabi did not shoot the scene together. Yeah. It didn't look to me like they had.

Please, really, they did not? All the money they get paid and they can't sit and play out a 10 minute dialog together? That's pretty sad if it is true.

'Why' may never come out, but it can really ONLY be on Margulies, as she (and not Panjabi) has the power to make something like that ('I won't work with her again') happen.

Panjabi and Margulies were not on set at the same time for Panjabi's final 52 episodes. Crazy. Can not think of another time that has happened, ever. Oh, there were a couple Dynasty actresses that didn't work together for awhile, right? (but not anywhere close to that stretch of time)... Suzanne Somers did 'phone call'/not-with-the-others work while in a contract dispute with Three's Company, but it was a short period (before she left altogether)... Things like that have happened from time to time. But two-plus seasons? Wacky.

You have to be right on that one Dax, JM has the clout and AP does not. How childish and makes me think way less of JM. I can't imagine what could have happened. Is she now so full of herself she can't stand any other attractive females around or is she getting insecure about aging and jealous that AP is younger? Maybe AP was annoying to her, but JM had to put the moratorium on the shared scenes...

No real idea. One comment I read somewhere that sounded maybe semi-plausible was that Panjabi had conducted an interview somewhere suggesting that Kalinda was as important to the show as Alicia and it went downhill from there, but...

Many say 'jealousy' (Panjabi won her Emmy for the show first), but everything I knew or thought I knew of Margulies PRIOR to this didn't read 'diva' to me... I don't know. Can't think of anything that would justify this kind of edict... (people mention the real-life couple on One Tree Hill where the guy cheated on his wife and they divorced... and still worked together...).

I'm torn between sympathizing for the Kings and thinking that they ought to have done more to 'fix' it, but... I don't know. Very strange.

What's even stranger is that there is really no hint in the tabloids, etc. It must be a very personal 'ting' maybe between only the two of them and people on the set, even the Kings, don't really know what it's about at its heart.

The Kings and CBS have GOT to know. Cast and crew probably know the gist of it, but have been professional and not talked, which is admirable (though, you know, the secrecy just makes people wanna know more).

The big buzzfeed piece was in August of '14, a year-and-a-half (30+ episodes) into it... http://www.buzzfeed.com/emilyorley/kalinda-and-alicia-relationship-on-the-good-wife#.xq9XveJqd ... it had been discussed on TGW fan forums before that, but it wasn't until this that the tv press started paying attention to it... I'd noticed it had been 'awhile' since they'd appeared on screen together, but hadn't realized HOW LONG it was...

Well surfing around, the general feeling is that JM is a diva and a humorless bitch. People are saying lots of stuff but it's only spec AFAICS. But it does make sense that she has to be the cause, since she's the one with the power. AP's treatment for the 100th episode is a case in point. But I wonder if JM had some justification or reason. the closest I came to some info was gossip from Gawker about an incident with Punjabi's husband.

Saying what happened? Panjabi's husband say something hostile to Margulies?

Common life/art spec pondering if Panjabi had slept with Margulies' husband...

Besides power, JM also clearly the cause since she's repeatedly on record saying Alicia and Kalinda couldn't be friends again (despite that they'd more-than-not sorta reconciled, and were still depicted as friendly in the phone calls), where AP's exit interviews all speak of valuing and missing that relationship...
