Quotes by the Actors, Producers, Writers

"Yet, what really helped us is that Archie and Matt are adorable together. T
hey had this patronizing flirtation where Kalinda was like, white boy, suburbanite, jerk.
His growing up at the State's Attorney's Office,
she's thrown by that and finds him, if not desirably sexually,
at least desirable as an adult."Robert King

"Cary is very different with her, she is different with him and what that allows for is to see these two characters
in a unique way which I think the audience will really respond to"Matt Czuchry

“I’ve seen it grow into a mutual respect and admiration and a friendship.
My character has protected Kalinda in a lot ways when she’s been vulnerable" Matt Czuchry

"He's proven he's a great lawyer, and Kalinda's watched him get better and better,
They develop a friendship and you realize they have more in common than they first thought." Archie Panjabi

"On most shows, if they kiss the show is over.
In our show, it just began." David Zucker

TFTNT!

Love the gif.

We got 2 this week.

Plus mentions in two other scenes! (Kalinda on the phone with him later and Will's "buddy" line)

Went back through the episode and caught a few more things:

I love how Matt and Archie's chemistry turns a scene of (potentially disgusting) exposition into something so charming. And I really love their smiles in that gif.

Bonus: Kalinda's initial reaction to Cary stating he was staying at the SA's office sounded like real disappointment. She switches gears quickly (to surprise over Peter wanting Cary to stay on, and the implications for her), but methinks that first reaction was a genuine one.

My heart broke for Kalinda when she extended a small but friendly smile to Alicia at the conference table and Alicia just stared back coldly. If Kalinda wasn't 100% sure yet that Cary's warning spelled doom, she knew after that exchange.

After the first arm touch Cary probably figured "Well, I got my hand back that time" so it was safe to try again.

I don't think that Cary invited Kalinda to his office to help her, and here's why: There is no way that he could have known that spotting heart doodles on a legal pad would be meaningful information to Kalinda. Upon rewatch, I got the impression that he called her there to keep her from getting wind of Nancy's new information (Stephanie's credit card transaction from the hotel where she'd met the victim previously).** He was keeping her busy/distracting her so that she wouldn't find something out via another one of her sources. I took it as a mode of fairly benign sabotage on Cary's part, and I'm wondering if the touches in the scene were a way for Cary to physically "ground" Kalinda (make sure she stayed put) as well as over-compensation for kind of screwing her over.

**However, I think the scene is nearly impossible to read as-is and there must have been another scene that was cut which would have made this clearer. (And hey, if the scene that was cut was one of Kalinda complaining to Cary about what a heart-doodling airhead Nancy is, then him leaving out the legal pad would have made sense as a clue to help her.)

I found it amusing that Will and Diane were so pissed off at Cary for feeding information to Nancy Crozier when they have benefited from him feeding information to Kalinda before.

Yeah we are the queens of taking a little and going a long way

True, but I think that's part of the fun. It reminds me of some great, romantic eras of history, like medieval times with courtly love or Victorian times where overt sexuality was frowned upon so even the subtlest actions carried great significance.

Quote:

They've locked eyes before but I can't really remember a time when they've done it since they got closer. I would die for a little eye sex action.

Funny - I was just rewatching the "Are you comfortable?" moment from "Ham Sandwich" on repeat this morning. That one qualifies as eye sex for me.

Not sure whether we will get a scene in the finale or not. I was hoping that the promo would give us a hint, but with the focus exclusively on Will/Alicia, it didn't help at all.

DizzyLizzy · 05-15-2011, 05:22 PM

Once again! TFTNT

Looking forward to something closing out the season!

Thank you! Nobody believed me when I called her disappointed but she totally was. She did cover quickly but she was. Her questioning after the fact only confirmed it, IMO.

Quote:

I think he figured if he could get away with kissing her and not be missing anything important from his anatomy that touching her on the arm was probably OK. Baby steps (slightly backwards but still...).

You make a good point about the second scene. In my fantastyworld, he just wanted an excuse to see her but it could have been for any number of reasons.

Quote:

That's a good point I didn't even think about. They both clearly are aware of C/K's friendship. What? They think they don't talk about work? That's ALL they seem to talk about.

THIS.

Take my shipper card away from me. I totally forgot about that scene. That was definitely eye sex. More, please.

I'm hoping for something juicy to tide us over until Fall on Tuesday. Really, really hoping.

I thought so too

Oh she definitely knew it was coming before stuff hit the fan and Alicia started screaming

You did NOT. Everybody poo-pooed me saying she was disappointed. I remember thinking I was the crazy one. Don't lie.

I remember the way he looked at her in that grand jury scene now. And the way she looked back at him. And the way he asked "Are you comfortable?" It belonged in a dang porno. Stupid Alicia and all those other people for having to be in the room.
