Worried about the ratings though because of all the competition

Don't be. I predict we won't budge. People from the Nielsen program who are still watching the show are not into cable tv or we would have been destroyed by Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead already. If we lose anything, it will probably be more permanent.

I certainly enjoyed the ep!
Thanks Fluff for the link.
Will be back tomorrow for further discussion.

great episode! I loved how fast paced it was!

[StarryFlower]

Loved the episode

Peter and Eli had the best line of the night with "Anal is what we need right now" and that being the new state motto

Loved all the snappy editing and cutaways. Made it feel all the more urgent.

Will and Diane are the perfect team!

Loved the whole secret meeting thing and the West Side story line. I wish we'd got to see a bit more of Alicia and Cary acting like bosses. They don't seem to have a clue what they're doing. But I'm excited to see more of them!

They'll eventually learn. Rome wasn't built in a day.

David Lee is so sharp!!!

dont you think they can sue K for not doing her job?? i know i would!!

same goes for A , dont you hink they can sue her? shes a partner and all..??

[Solar]

I really liked it!

Alicia actually talked to Kalinda and all I could think was: goddamnit, now it's too late Even if it was by phone, I was kinda happy. And then sad. Anyway...

I like the Alicia and Cary storyline, with the new firm and how they will fit into the roles of the new bosses. But Alicia is right, they have to cut the cord

I'm sad Alicia and Cary and Robyn are leaving the firm, because I like all the dynamics now but I like the storyline possibilities (if they are done right )

I wasn't all that bothered by the kids' storyline for once. Grace is getting 'famous' And Makenzie did something to her hair and it looks super pretty, I liked it.

dont you think they can sue K for not doing her job?? i know i would!! same goes for A , dont you hink they can sue her? shes a partner and all..??

They both just kinda concealed information, I think. But anyway, I don't think they would sue because that's just bad press. I don't think the clients would be happy with all that happening inside their law firm. Specially in Alicia's case, her being the First Lady of Illinois, it would call a lot of attention and it would do more harm than good.

A surprisingly good premiere. Better than last year? Nahh, last year's was a pretty good one. But to think of it more closely, did Alicia actually have that amazing of a plot line last year? I don't think so. She was more of an observer, but now she is in the eye of the storm.

- I hope this is the last death row case on this show. I think we've had three of them and although each has been different, I don't know what they can bring to the table after this.
- Doesn't mean it was a bad case. It showed just how great L&G can work together. It was a very smart move from the writers to remind us of this before it all ends.
- I'm beginning to forget Kalinda's existence. There are times when we see that Kalinda magic, but it hasn't really been consistent since S1 (in terms of writing).
- One of my main concerns has been whether David Lee is able to stay interesting now that they've made him a regular. I liked him best in family law cases, something we haven't had in the show for ages (okay there was some in Defense of Mairriage). There's a danger of him slipping from great to just good.
- I hope that Amber, I mean Marilyn, is now gone for good from the show. I don't think it would fit to Peter's current profile if he slept with someone. For the entire series he has been on this path of regret and compensation. Not to mention he went to jail. It must have woken him up.

Overall excited for the upcoming episodes. This is very promising.
