I assumed it was a listening device, and also curious why it didnt come back up

Seemed like they were having an affair by the Limo scene all right

This show is great, the best show on TV atm I think

The Good Wife: Season 5 (and 1-4 cause never was there a thread)

thanks
When it was snapped, the white card didn't seem like it was big enough to be a device. Maybe it was just a blank card that had some special significance to Lana or it had some data on it or it is a security card that unlocks a special door. It's an inventive plot device for sure.

Cary looks like he is about to crack. I'd go into hiding if it was me.
Tough, mysterious, sexy Kalinda is one of the best supporting characters in TV history and I'm sure she is going to do something shocking soon.

I suspect at least one or two supporting characters are going to bite the dust this season. Cary, Kalinda (too bad), Bishop are candidates. Cary's bodyguard looks like a target too.

I think it was supposed to be seen as a listening device but looked like it would only be for tracking. Either way, it was a strange prop.

I dream of Kalinda and Lana. Frequently.

As for Kalinda:

Spoiler:
Archie is leaving the show after this season. I really hope its witness protection but I don't know. I do think that if she is killed, Cary is out as well. But if she's in protection is because she took out Bishop for Cary.

They packed a ton of stuff in that episode.
Kalinda's scene with Bishop in the kitchen was scary as hell.

I can't believe Cary takes a plea bargain.

I'm not sure why Cary doesn't want to testify against Bishop now that Bishop has threatened to kill him and then put Dante up against him in court for spite. All deals should be off after that crap. I guess Bishop is not worried about child services.

Felecia's campaign storyline was well done too but it was overwhelmed by the Cary saga for me.

If he takes the plea and does the 2 years its possible he lives. Testify against Bishop seems like certain death.

This show is up to something. And it's going to be HUGE when they get to it. I have no clue at all what it will be, but I can't wait to find out.

And no new eps until January!!!!! BOOOOOOO!!!!

Someone help me understand why Bishop didn't want Cary to walk. He clearly could have made it happen , but chose to have the last witness flip his story
How is in Bishop's best interest to have Cary in jail and/ or considering rolling on Bishop?

I think he was trying to get him to go to Barcelona. Any other options and he could just have had him killed.

There is a semi-obvious way that all of what they're doing can link together, but I'll it in spoilers. Not that they're doing this, but it does all link together. They'll do something similar but infinitely better.

Spoiler:
Cary goes to jail and Alicia becomes states attorney. Alicia, with the power and position her new job has, and Kalinda put together a plan to get Cary out while at the same time getting Bishop arrested, but Kalinda goes a step further and straight up has him killed right after Cary is free. Then Kalinda runs so she won't end up in jail.

Thx. What I still don't get is that it is in Bishop's best interest for Cary not to be in Jail ( no need to roll on Bishop) and Bishop had the means to keep Cary out, but didn't. Seems illogical.

Season 6 ep 11 hail mary
Thank god Cary got saved from prison by finding a Brady violation. I need to re-watch the part where Bishop gives Kalinda a phone to listen to. I thought it was supposed to be somebody to help Cary in prison but it turned into some very important clue that I didn't pay close attention to. Who ordered the guy to meet the judge and delay him 2 hours? Peter? Best unseen scene was Kalinda giving Cary a good memory. I wonder what favor Bishop wants from Kalinda.

I missed that as well. Glad that arc is done, at least for now. I do like a lot how there is now a handful of ways for Kalinda's exit.

Just an impulsive release. Can't do that with Finn cause there is something actually there. She should've just banged him in his car, and then casually walked away. I don't think it was much of anything else on her part. He might start pursuing, but I think that was all she needed at the moment. Aside from a bit of D...

I feel Alicia has felt bottled up this season. It was just a "release" IMO. I'd be surprised if it turned into much

I'm about to watch the S1 finale. Love this show. Why does Suits gets all the attention over here and nothing for The Good Wife? It's basicly the same show with they key difference being that Suits sucks (not trying to be offensive, just my opinion).

Since you're so early into it, that Suits comparison is about to fly right out the window!!!! The Good Wife is easily in the top 3 non-HBO currently dramas on TV. Perhaps lower from time to time, but overall, yep.

All caught up. Watched all the episodes in 3 months, very impressive for me personally. Great show.

Imo 4>6>2>1>5>3 for me but it seems like a lot of people really loved S5. Every season is great obviously (though 3 did have way too many gimmicky crazy episodes for me) but the CIA plotline really bored & tilted me and the overly dramatic Will plot twist felt unnecessary to me. I love me some dramatic murders in television shows but such a big character in such a "random moment" felt like this show was trying to be something it isn't. And I hated the way Alicia reacted to it.

S6 would have been my favorite one if it wasn't for the way the election plot line went. Really strong season otherwise. It might be because I'm not American and don't fully understand American politics but for me there is no way that Alicia would just lie down so that a huge corruption scandal can be covered up that she had nothing to do with. Both her morals and personal pride seem way too big for that. And there was enough proof that once it's out it would gather enough attention so that the truth would come out eventually 100%.

The election plot line was a problem from the beginning. They were never going to shoot a show about her being AG but at the same time losing the election was never an option. The story was getting out of hand and they had no way to stop it except with something that made no sense.

I don't know, the show has done really well in following different groups of characters so I'm not too sure whether it would be 100% impossible for her to win the election and become AG. It would certainly be a challenge, and very risky to let the plot go there without having written the new season. Might have been best to just let her lose the election, would have been refreshing to see an election plot end in a loss .

Random side note, I was somehow convinced Michael J Fox had died a year or 2 ago, so I was really surprised when he kept on surviving . Also a great character, most of the time you hate him, but other times you love him or even feel sorry for him.


Are there any procedurals that are as good quality wise as The Good Wife? I generally just refuse to watch procedurals since they're huge timesinks and generally lack the quality I want from a TV show. I think the only other procedural I've ever seen is The West Wing which I also loved (if that counts as a procedural). So if I'm missing out on other really good procedurals, feel free to make suggestions .

New season is by far my least favorite so far. Seems like they kinda lost it.

12-06-2015 , 02:44 PM
Yeah, I haven't even bothered. I let them pile up till episode 5 and realized I was never going to watch it.

It was high on my list of favorite shows until last season, and with all of the shows I've dropped lately, I couldn't see any reason to keep this one in rotation. I'll just read about the series finale (provided that this is the final season) on AVClub.

Caught up with the 3 new episodes today. The first 2 were really bad, but the final one was actually quite good. The constant "what will Alicia do romantically" and "will Alicia return to her old firm" plotlines should have been over 5 episodes ago but at least the 2 cases were interesting and them being sued for malpractice should be interesting. I really hope now that that useless presidential run-plotline is over (seriously, what was the point of that to have it end like it did?) that the show focuses on something interesting again.


I miss Kalinda too obv but the 2 new characters introduced are able to fill her shoes imo. Writing has just tanked imo.

Ya, this season has been real weak. There have been moments of greatness but it's missing the overall appeal of prior seasons.

I agree that the new characters are great though.
