Cast List and Stills

Couldn't find this episode Don't think it has aired.

[Substance]

The show is just so completely out of steam at this point that it pains me to know that we still have 13 episodes left. I feel like the plot is not even written by an actual person at this point, but a computer program that just models the main plot around that of previous seasons.

They are not even trying to come up with other ways for Alicia to be a "bad wife" than through her relationships outside of marriage whether it is Will, that dude from season 5-6, her campaign manager from season 6 and now this investigator guy. Eli's scenes in this episode were an utter waste of time. I know they were supposed to be serious and of great danger to Peter's campaign, but how can I take it seriously as a viewer when I have seen it happen over and over again?

The case itself was good and interesting. Just... Why do they have to keep facing Diane and Cary in court in almost every single episode?

It definitely aired, Ingmar. I could find it online but it was late.

Well the Kings are not writing episodes anymore because they have moved on to their latest atrocity but I can see RK tell the writers room to "just pick out plot points from previous seasons and fill in the blanks", which is really what they are doing at this point, no point denying it.

They are just going through the motions. They think it's "new" because Eli is the enemy now but it's the same thing over and over. And also, AC is bestie with JM so I guess she doesn't mind him getting his own show within the show

Because if they didn't, they'd be paying Matt and Christine for nothing?

I disagree some of the reviews and comments online that this season is underwhelming. Some of them are nitpicking and quibble. Last season,people dislike SA campaign storyline and wanna case-of-the-week. then in season 7,they come up with interesting cases, and they complain other things .
I think this season's cases are refreshing.which basically are from what happened in real life.

Kings should do a bunch of spin-offs for every supporting and guest character that nobody would complain.

Ah, now I found it! There was no recap on TVLine, couldn't fink a download link yesterday, so I was under the assumption it hadn't aired

you think that's why people are unhappy?
Hey you're entitled to liking the season, no problem here. That doesn't mean everyone has to agree though or that those who don't are just bitter fangirls or something
People have different standards, I guess.

never trust second hand sources, Ingmar

What did you think?

[Kiki17]

If this wasn't the last season of TGW, I would be ok with this mediocracy and not dealing with any of the characters. But since they are running out of time, I am really bitter at the complete waste of time. I am so angry

Ha, I also couldn't find a place to download it (where I usually find it), so it was odd.

Saw the episode yesterday night. It was actually pretty good, although I'm really over Eli's little office inside joke. Does anyone know why TGW uses Chumhum for everything? Are they not allowed to name Apple, or whatever? Or is it just an inside joke? I'm not bothered by it, but now there's even a Chummy maps? Lol. Case of the week was pretty good. I must say...this season tops last season by a long shot for me. Now just more interaction between the main characters!

Oh, can I say it was obvious Cary would be attracted to Lucca? They are so going to do it. This makes Cary's may be bi arc earlier in the season even more stranger than it already was.

I'm intrigued by Jason actually!

Instead of giving closure to the main characters, they waste time on L&O CotW and new people who make JM look good.

Next time, shoot me a PM and I'll hook you up

They think they are clever?
I doubt they couldn't name Apple since they've been plugging their products like crazy for years (Ipod, Ipad etc). It just serves as a ubiquitous Hi-Tech company like Google or Facebook.

Oh, can I say it was obvious Cary would be attracted to Lucca? They are so going to do it

Well she's the New Half Kalinda and they don't know what to do with Cary so...

This makes Cary's may be bi arc earlier in the season even more stranger than it already was.

I've filed it under "How to Get Away With Murder envy" from RK. We know he's got a jealous streak. (See Will"s death for "Game of Thrones envy" or his new show for "The Walking Dead envy")
He's still scratching his head about how to incorporate Empire into TGW though

I'm intrigued by Jason actually!

You're supposed to. He's the other New Half Kalinda
Anybody finding odd that Alicia is spending her time and hot for the other New Half Kalinda?

Speaking of TWD and Jason, don't get too attached because he's already booked on TWD so my guess is either TGW's end is official or JDM is going to scale back his appearances on TGW this season already

Right?!! What the **** give closure, deeply explore dynamic. WHY IS THIS SO HARD?

I'm starting to wonder if it's not simply because JM is trying to keep the show going and so they are once again unsure whether to close or keep the plotlines going

I am just out of reason out of understand why they do certain things.

... which usually means we're not getting the whole story
