TY for the Blog recommend. It included comments from TV critic Daniel Feinberg and this one nails it, whether or not we know the particulars of the so-called AP/JM "feud":

OMG what was that?
I never expected to say this, but I don't know if there's anything left for me in the show after this boring and hollow finale. Kalinda is out, Will is out, JM basically films everything on her own and I don't care about Alicia anymore. The final A/K scene was so fake and insulting that I have no words. So Alicia will partner up with Canning? Peter will run for VP? (LOL) - who cares? I wonder if JM is ever going to realise she ruined such a great great show and the Kings allowed her. I'm really really sad __________________

I am sad about it all, also. Just a bunch of childish stuff from grown-ups! BUT it is not enough to make me take the show off my list. The show still has a fresh look. It has Christine Baranski, Matt Czuchry, Alan Cumming. I am not about to cave on the show just because of the backstage drama from adults/writers/whoever else who should be more grown-up about things.

I don't think I can stop watching either, not really. But when I think how much I loved the show and how I feel about it now...

The show has never been at a worse state than it is now which is really weird considering that I said the exact opposite about the first 4 episodes of this season. After that it started plummeting fast. Episodes 5 and 6 made a complete mess of Elsbeth Tascioni's character. Alicia withered slowly into a completely hideous character. Cary and Diane are the only characters this season who I think have remained interesting and received good scenes.
The writers need to work miracles if they want to retain the audience. |

I wouldn't say they jumped the shark..to me personally anyway. I also wouldn't say that Law and Order or CSI know how to keep things fresh , but that's just me again. I still love TGW and I think it's still the best drama on network TV right now. People may or may not agree, but I am thankful I still feel that way. Ofcourse there are some choices that the Kings made, that I disagree with...but at the same time they make choices I didn't expect them to make and I mostly ended up liking them. I do admit that I kind of hope next season will be the series last. Go out with a bang and on a high note.
Sure, Elsbeth's episode was kinda weird this year, but there were a lot of funny moments in it too. They can always ''fix'' the character and make sure that it's not happening again in the future. I do agree that I would love to see Martha Plimpton again, but I doubt that will happen. __________________

Fake or not i really enjoyed the A/K bar scene. I really don't know what people expected? A hot Lana-sque romantic scene?!?
I don't think that Canning storyline will play for very long. Just chill people. I do not think this was the worst season of TGW (Season 4 holds that title). I like where they going. I still believe in a Diane and Alicia firm. I'm sad that Finn is leaving. I missed the "I don't have friends" line |

Must be Alicia and Zach had a talk. He seems to be back in the family fold. He was all for Peter's run for President. Even though he is shooting for VP instead. Hilary's VP? Was a nice little talk Alicia had with Peter about the family decision to run. Grace also had some questions. But he might run anyway. I wondered if the Democratic head that told Alicia to drop the States Attorneys Office, had anything to do with Peter running? Maybe to get back at her, or appease Peter?
I was surprised of the "Lock up Joshua Rickter" story line. With all the problems being reported in the news about the Police. First I thought that like Matan tried to cover up it was drug dealers that took him. Then with just lucky enough on that empty street that a Police Cruiser pulled into that parking spot. Then thought maybe he was going to go undercover for PD. But Judge Suzanne Morris didn't let Matan Brody pull the wool over her eyes. The Dr. Finn trick worked. Surprised, but it was fun. But Matan was messing with them so they paid him back. Finn Polmar wanted to be Alicia's partner then later changed his mind when he knew something between them would make it difficult to work together. And he is trying to make it work with his ex. But now an upset Louis Canning wants her for a partner. I am surprised if she says yes. Not sure why he didn't stay with David Lee? But after all the moving around of the law offices it didn't change much really. Felt bad like Diane did for firing Simone Rachibush(sp?)-Canning as Paralegal, but David Lee and Cary were worried. Ofcourse Louis was upset. He will break them up. It will be interesting to see. Diane did look worried, Cary wasn't sure and David Lee confident. Lemond Bishops lawyer Charles Lester trying to find Kalinda was annoying and interesting. But Kalinda's 2 visits to him and he told her to disappear and maybe be a partner was interesting also. He is worried about Bishop or Dexter.Nice how Kalinda helped him with his phone and told about the info. on the flash drive. After Alicia burned the note and this, he wanted demure to come back. Eli should not have pushed Alicia's ghost writer Joel Kinsley-Weaver to make it more family friendly on her biography. He should have known better. I didn't really notice the Kalinda and Alicia scene at the bar being staged. I thought it nice and didn't think of it as more. So is Dean gone? Is Robyn coming back? Is Julius Caine still closing up the NY office? Bring back Hayden too. Last edited by webruce; 05-31-2015 at 02:04 PM Reason: Added thought |

I still enjoy the show.the show is always about Alicia Florrick.That's the creators keep saying.The lack of AK scenes draw people's attention.But the overall qualiti is way better than other network TV show.People leave,people come,that's life.I'm looking forward to season 7.Maybe there's new blood coming in,new dynamics is on the horizon I'm optimistic

"In my opinion" TGW had everything to be more than it is. The staff are not using all the resources they can to make the most attractive show. This fight between the actresses is another example, they let that harm the plot. But despite all their problems, I want to see how they will finish the story. Knowing that their ability to submissions is questionable. Kalinda was an interesting character but never actually knew more about the events that shaped his personality, ditto for the other characters. And they can not live of disputes between partners forever. So, I want to know how everything will be. For me the romance between Finn and Alicia is the more certain, unless the actor also want to leave. And the proposed of Canning is precisely for this alleged affair happen. I until thought that the character died because of nothing his wife decides to work in the office. Hopefully next season, they improve that odious way of play the information without making coherent connections. But speaking on episodes, guys, we will have a survivor game of season 6? __________________

Besides that, the problem is not that Archie left or the "lack of AK scenes", it's the fact that someone like JM would use her position to get another actor in the doghouse, probably hoping she'd quit, and that the producers' arms were twisted to make it happen. Not only is it wrong on so many levels, humanly, but it also impacted the show for the worse over the years until everything was tainted from it. Quote:

One thing is for certain: after the finale aired, he made a point of tweeting about how he had loved to work with Archie. Quote:

I actually find this part the cruelest, that Archie was obviously afforded no option to truncate the term of her contract (she couldn't quit without breaching her contract and risking suit, reputation, future work), instead forced to fulfill the entire 6 year term even though the lead/producer didn't want her there and made it her mission to exclude her, i.e. entire episodes played with all guest cast, Paley 2015, more. At this point, I'm believing that this cruelty was meted out by JM and her exec cronies at CBS, over the Kings' heads. I think the Kings' were (and are) out of their depth to manage their temperamental, egotistical, powerful star and I bet two things. They're not having much fun anymore, and they're grieving the loss of probably the most universally loved, iconic character they will ever create. (Of course, the end product "Kalinda" was the magical collaboration of the Kings' initial genius concept and Archie's genius as she breathed life and mystery into her.) As wonderful as the Kalinda character was, imagine how much more she could have and should have been. Ahhh, the potential, unrealized, for no noble reason. So sad. I noticed the episode after Kalinda said "goodbye", had a series low rating. Karma, JM? Have you played Russian roulette with your franchise$$? I won't be watching season 7 episodes, but I may check out the ratings, just to see if the universe will mete out poetic justice for poor behavior.
