thanks Kicks
I like how tv writers are finally discovering about the Darknet That's like the 4th time I've heard about it on a tv show in 3 months and I really don't watch that much tv. Welcome to the... 20th century television people __________________

The episode was alright.
- I feel pleased everytime Finn is on camera. Anyone else? I really like this character. - "He already made you a saint." - Did the battery engineer wear eyeliner or something? It just looked wrong. Bad casting. - Diane's case was a bit of a bore, but at least things are moving forward for the last two episodes of the season. |

When the Nestor guy said "I don't have friends, I work a lot and I'm private" it felt like a reference to Kalinda. I don't know whether it was supposed to or i'm just so keen on the idea of her and Alicia being friends again my mind jumps straight to those assumptions!
I liked this episode a lot actually in terms of it being a character episode for Alicia, an interesting case scenario at LG, Kalinda being awesome doing what she does best and lots of Eli. |

I loved this episode. I was constantly confused as to what to think!
He is dying and he is trying to screw you I just loved it __________________

I felt the episode was good, nothing out of this world. But anytime you put Alicia and Vero in a room together, I get really happy
Alicia is a at crossroads in her life, this is her chance to really make a different choice or actively get back in the game. She is still spiraling out of control and is heartbreaking but I am intrigued to see what she does from here. I actually liked Finn this episode, it might have something to do with the fact he had a scene with Kalinda, making him less boring Two more episodes left, is almost hard to believe. __________________

The pacing of this episode as a whole was a bit slow. It felt like they're still trying to figure out all the new dynamics. Does it make me a bad person if I was glad Canning's dying? He said he had 12 months so he could still be back next season. But this dying thing makes his storyline a bit more interesting. |

This ep didn't make an impression. I was bored. I think Finn was at his most likeable and well integrated; I just resent that he has been chosen as the "male lead" over someone like Cary who after 5 seasons, I still don't feel like I know. Kalinda had lines! None of which had anything to do with herself so I guess, I shouldn't hold my breath for her to get a storyline. Unless I count jumping in and out of bed with random plot devices. Diane was her typical awesome self. Emphasis on typical. I don't get this whole Will influence thing? I mean, they're rewriting Diane's history like she was a soft, wilting flower before Will died that he needed to protect. That. is. bunk. She was always a badass. Sadly, with her case, I saw that the cerebral palsy kid was the creator of the website from 5 miles away which contributed to my boredom.
Also, did anyone register that the editing was bad? The dubbing was obvious during the end of that perches/purchase scene. The cut to Kalinda entering Diane's office after Diane told her client that she must remove herself from the case was very jerky. Overall |

Diane has always been both. I see nothing wrong with being both a soft, wilting flower and a badass. And I thought she was both in this episode. Did Stockard Channing have surgery? __________________
"The term 'Black Magic' was originally a reference to the type of 'magic' (spiritual beliefs) done by people who were black and because of the racism of the time - 'Black=Bad'; we find the current idea of black magic meaning magic that is either bad, evil, or lesser." That is just wrong on so many levels.

I thought the episode was decent. The case was a little boring, but at least Kalinda had something to do and Finn got interaction with other characters.
I LOVED seeing Eli back in campaign manager mode again. It's definitely where he thrives. Hope to continue to see him work with Finn because Finn is a lot like Alicia was with Eli I think, not really giving a damn about what he "should" or "shouldn't" do, he's just going to do what he has to do. And if that means bailing on an interview or meeting for a client or whatever, then so be it. Then Eli goes nuts and hilarity ensues. Did anyone else feel like Cary might be up to something? Not letting Alicia enter the office? Or is he just genuinely being nice because... can anyone recall him ever doing something nice for someone else? And speaking of Cary, he needs more screen time. *sigh* __________________

Just finished watching the episode and it was nice. Better than the previous one, IMHO.
Yes, I thought Cary was up to something. Maybe he is... Alicia had taken sick days already and now he gives her a day off? Too good to be true? Or are we too paranoid? I really enjoyed when she said, "who am I being faithful to?". I mean no disrespect, but Alicia does't seem to be able to make up her mind. We endured two seasons where she was supposedly trying to forgive her unfaithful spouse. Then she gets mad and finally does what she wants...for a while. And then another season and a half with the unresolved triangle situation. So...after about 5 years you'd think the lady would have her **** figured out, but no. Granted, by no means this easy, but come on! ... Does the "education of Alicia Florrick" has to always be about a man? I really like the character and I don't have a strong ship preference so it's kind of annoying to see how she's this great lawyer who kicks ass but can't do certain things. ...Well...perhaps that's what makes her real...what do I know!? Sorry for the rant. Kalinda's arc seems to be to stand by Diane. Well, Diane certainly needs Kalinda now. But come on...Diane channeling Will? #barf Can we get over that already? Thank you! That's it for now. I sound grumpy, I know... sorry. I did enjoy the last 4 episodes though (which I kind of binge watched). |
