Reposting the latest just in case somebody missed anything.

Archie attended the NBC Fall Launch Party this week (thanks Boots

)

And here's the video from the HuffPo Live interview from yesterday (thanks Ladybug

)

A nice new thread to stretch out in. Thanks Fluff.

You gotta ask yourself why Archie would be at an NBC event. I literally haven't seen any attendees not associated with the network and how else would she have been invited?

Regarding this, a possible non-conspiracy explanation? If she just did this segment, maybe that's how she got invited? Also, if anyone can find it online beyond a screencap on Tumblr, please link!

Quote:

Don't get paranoid, it's been like that since season 1. CBS just doesn't care about Archie or Kalinda. Even after she won their first and only Emmy in s1. If she wasn't in the promo pictures, it would be something else. In the promo? please! How often is she in trailers or stills?

I'm definitely not paranoid about this issue, BUT it's a very ****ty thing to do: to have one (and only one) of the regular cast not even shown in the season-premiere opener. And I hope Archie's management sent an email to that effect. Because this sort of stuff does actually matter and it shouldn't happen. It's not like a regular weekly ep promo - it's highly publicized and gets a lot of notice.

ETA: Ha - in Australia that is soooo not swearing! But I will endeavor to be more careful in future.

Seconded! Look at her petting Benzo! awwww

That show used to have its own YT channel but nothing has been uploaded for 3 years. Hopefully now that the show is going to be on USA, videos will surface.

and quite representative of the disrespect they've shown for the character (and Archie by extension) of late.

The writers did tweet the link to her interview on HuffPo though, for a change.

please! let it all out!

No promos no stills for 4 seasons yet she is still among if not the most popular and talked about character on this show. It's like the smaller her role gets the more fans want of her. I don't think it's gonna happen no matter how much we want it. Besides they know we're gonna watch anyway. *goes to Tumblr for some BAMF porn* I meant to quote someone on this, but sometimes I just can't stand long posts. Hope I don't offend by this.

Just noticed we have Khalessi on the board!

Welcome, Khalessi!

On a totally unrelated note I just have to say that little kitten in your avatar is the cutest ever!

Let's just say that the show trended three times on Twitter and it was always about Kalinda.

should I say that louder for CBS? They're a little hard of hearing, age and all.

yeah I never pictured you as a cat lady but then Archie has a very small dog so I'm not judging

So good to read that from newbies!

MySpotlessMind · 09-22-2013, 11:41 AM

Ahhhh - sorry I've been gone so long. I always forget how time-consuming/stressful it is to move from one apartment to another.

Quote:

I got kinda distracted at some point because her bra was very visible through her top and one of her bra straps was twisted. I had to remind myself calling attention to my staring at her bra was probably not the best idea

You are a better woman than I.

Quote:

I wanted to ask her about the orange notebook (she didn't have it ) but she said that colors were very significant with Kalinda so maybe there was a Buddhist vibe to Kalinda sometimes so maybe the notebook was orange because it's the color of wisdom

Very interesting theory. I mean, if there was ever a book that contained all of the wisdom in the world, it'd be Kalinda's orange notebook

It kind of makes me wonder Kalinda's views on religious beliefs. I can't imagine it's a favorable opinion.

Quote:

And when she mentioned Jill, she said they had a "great" scene to shoot. Being myself, I picked up on the emphasis and my face went a little something like and she burst out laughing and said "not quite like that" and it turned out to be the FBI cafeteria scene with Kalinda putting her flirt on to embarrass Lana

I love it! Too bad you couldn't sneak onto the set while they were filming in the cafeteria. That's something I wish we'd get more of on the DVDs -behind the scenes footage.

Quote:

But the irrational outrage and never-ending grief over something so unintentional is just pushing it too far. People who say that they "get" Alicia and that they could never forgive Kalinda (yes, you too, Ms Margulies ) are just forgetting so many parts of the story, it's kinda sad, really. It's not a "my best friend slept with my husband" story. Not at all. So please stop acting as if Kalinda slept with Peter a month ago or something!

Exactly!!! I could understand the sentiments of the "rage-getters" *cough*JM*cough* had Kalinda slept with Peter when she knew Alicia. But that is far from the case. Something that I find very interesting is how Alicia knew about Kalinda's behavior - she knew that Kalinda used her sexuality to get things - and she even found it somewhat amusing and professed to wanting to be more like Kalinda in that regard. It's only after she found out that Kalinda had used her sexuality in a way that affected her personally that the moral outrage began. I'm not defending Kalinda's behavior, just disagreeing with Alicia/JM's handling of the aftermath.

Quote:

I'd like to see that. If it's not going anywhere anyway, I'd like Kalinda to react.

Yup. It doesn't make sense for her character to keep pining for Alicia season after season after season when the friendship isn't being reciprocated.

Quote:

I think Archie knows more than us about why the character was pushed aside. And she voiced her doubts about the Nick thing several times, very nicely, so I don't think she feels responsible for it. There's only so much you can do with the material you're given.

That must be such a difficult situation for her to be in. She quite obviously and has publicly stated on numerous occasions how much she loves the character of Kalinda. But what can she do when the writers keep failing the character's storyline?

Quote:

They tried before. Guests, Diane, Will, and it never went anywhere. It felt like they weren't even trying, but then that's what most of the show feels like sometimes now

Quote:

I just finished watching season 4 in one long run... It felt like a cartwheel of female characters trying to win a place in Alicia`s heart (and pants? Maddie, Sweeney`s gf?) and swoop in to take the place Kalinda vacated? The only thing I hope is that they dont listne to JM and take this opportunity to show: NO ONE CAN TAKE KALINDA`S PLACE!

I HATED all of the teasing shots they gave us in S3 and S4 of Alicia at a bar, with the expectation of Kalinda being there, before panning over to find a guest star/Diane/etc. sitting there instead.

If you're not going to give us the friendship back, then don't tease us like that! Just mean.

Quote:

It was in June last year in Columbus. I give you proof - scroll down for picture!

That picture just made my day. She looks even tinier than usual!

Quote:

The Archie thing is today Right NOW!!!

I love me any Archie interviews I can get. Just wish it were a bit longer/had more original questions. I hope she comes back to the second season of the Fall, but her role needs to be larger. PLEASE, TV gods?

Quote:

Why can't I find this interview ANYWHERE?!

Quote:

It just baffles me that the least amount of press is given to the (arguable) fan-favorite of the show.

I mean, she is kind of the favorite, right? Or is my bias making me be less-than-objective?
