One of the more interesting episodes of the season, and a love interest for Eli! I'll just leave it with these gems:

"It's always sexy not to care."

"Bad things happen or they don't. There's just too much craziness in the world."

Well thank you for spoiling it, because there was nothing in this episode that implied that these two were getting together later in the season...

Sorry, but I was only conjecturing based on the feeling I got during one of their last scenes together. I really don't know if they are getting together or not, though the preview of next week's episode seemed to cast a gaze in that direction. Again, I apologize. I wasn't trying to be a spoiler.

Good episode...yet it feels so much different compared to the previous seasons. Not just this episode, but the season in general. It's great...and one of my favorites, but it feels different. It's not just Kalinda, but Alicia barely communicating with Cary/Diane at this point. At least this episode showed them in the same room again. Hope that continues. Also liked the case of the week.

Peter and Alicia? No. Just no. Dump him, girl!

I think it felt kinda obvious but it could be because the show has been following predictable lines.

It's not just Kalinda, but Alicia barely communicating with Cary/Diane at this point.

It's like JM isolated herself completely and finally got the show she wanted
It'd be fine if Cary and Diane had their own stuff to do but

Peter and Alicia? No. Just no. Dump him, girl!

Kiki is going to be mad at you

Obviously I don't feel this way, but honestly at this point I don't mind if she were to dump him at this point at least it would get SOMETHING ANYTHING moving in this ****ing show.

This episode was alright mostly. Diane and Cary still don't mean **** to them. Jason is their new super star.

I hate Robert King so much. The End

I know how you feel. I used to cheer for them. Now I just don't care. They still are great on the screen together, but their plot sucks

It's just not an ensemble show anymore imo. Sure, we still have other characters than Alicia, but it's mostly Eli and Peter at this point. The diversity is gone and that was one of the strongest things about TGW.

Not to say I don't like the show anymore, cause I do, but even I have to admit the show has changed. That said...I always try to stay positive, so here's to me hoping that Diane and Cary get more to do!

In S2 it was Blake. then it was Nick... at least Jason is likable? Still it feels like RK has issues with female characters and prefers focusing on male characters. What's the male for Mary Sue?

It's been years of backward and forward, you would think that in the last season at least they would decide and go one way or another but apparently that's too hard.

And we know it's not that they really worry about alienating the fans so....

Maybe someone should tell JM that she probably won't get nominated for an Emmy so she has nothing to fear anymore. CB has shown she could score nominations with really meager material so it won't change anything if we see her a little.

at least Jason is likable?

Yea cause he flirts with literally everyone

Or even scarier, this isn't the last season and UGH

Bring back more of the quirky type characters as portrayed by Carrie Preston and Martha Plimpton. I am getting a bit tired of the Canning character. They could have expanded the use of the Nathan Lane character, IMHO. I like that the series morphs and changes but this season, despite a glowing episode or two, just seems MEH. It has final season stamped all over it.

And he's not a raging homophobic arrogant a-hole like Nick or Blake but I get your point

Nah

Bring back more of the quirky type characters as portrayed by Carrie Preston and Martha Plimpton.

I think they'd like to but the two actresses have been busy and now are busy again in their own shows.

I am getting a bit tired of the Canning character.

Yeah lucky for us, the MJF show got axed very fast and he's all free

They could have expanded the use of the Nathan Lane character, IMHO.

I think he was fine with a limited engagement because he's always doing a lot of different projects on stage but I agree it would have been interesting bringing him back.
