Lots of major lols this week, but hoo boy is the "who does Kalinda want to bang?" stuff getting so boring. Give us back badass Kalinda please.

That said, I like Matt Czuchry more every season. He *really* has that deadpan down pat.

Carrie Preston is now doing her own great little spinoff within this show whenever she's onscreen.

This show is kicking so much arse at the moment. I can't believe nobody watches it. What is wrong with people?

Under 35. Love it. (As does most of my under-35 law school class, but maybe we aren't a representative sample.)

Guys, I wasn't *literally* saying no one under 35 watches it, just not nearly as many as CBS would like. Though I highly doubt it's in danger of going anywhere, considering it's a prestige show at this point.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:47 (1 year ago) Permalink
Though it is possible that more younger folx are watching it now than a year ago, I've not seen new numbers.

nobody told england where the 3rd series started last week with no fanfare on one of the lesser freeview channels... (see also southlands)

I guess I was saying that for whatever reason I've heard a lot of buzz about it from people my age in the past year. I'm not sure why now and not before, but it's catching on.
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 16:52 (1 year ago) Permalink
That's good. The last article I read about its ratings indicated that the numbers were low, but they were in a good demographic, so it was alright. That might have been last year though. Sometimes I get tired of liking shows that are on the verge of cancellation all the time.

the grand jury's revolt against her was by far the worst writing and acting that has ever been on this show.

yes not a single thing about that episode made sense
― max, Thursday, 2 February 2012 21:53 (1 year ago) Permalink
The only purpose it served that I can tell is to get Will's story out of Peter's administration and into the Illinois Bar. Oh, and also to advance the Alicia/Kalinda story ever so slightly in a positive way.
One of my favorite things about TGW right now is not being able to get an angle on Cary.

yeah that ep was praised in some circles but it mostly did not work for me. especially the part that featured alan cumming and amy sedaris boning.
― Simon H., Thursday, 2 February 2012 22:21 (1 year ago) Permalink
I guess I'm in some circles, because I loved this last episode, even in spite of all of its implausibilities.
― omar leeettle (Leee), Friday, 3 February 2012 06:16 (1 year ago) Permalink
Me too. Sometimes I love a good "I'm out of order? You're out of order! This whole court is out of order!" scene, even if that never happens.
― trishyb, Friday, 3 February 2012 07:05 (1 year ago) Permalink
I don't get bothered by the implausibilities on this show. I guess I prefer the tradeoff - a more interesting plot or whatever. Generally (and imho), implausibilities on TV shows are more of a joke then an irritant. If I was bothered by them there would be very little good tv left to watch
Alan and Amy's boning was funny. I encourage it. I especially like the awkward, red-head, lawyer girl.

i do always appreciate when they give anyone a chance to be a stone cold motherfucker, which both will and peter got to do this episode. 'my assistant will validate your parking' - the reason parking validation was really invented.

they realy have to change the name of the firm because will is gonna be gone for 6 months?
― mizzell, Thursday, 23 February 2012 20:17 (1 year ago) Permalink
Yeah, that struck me as odd considering the firm was originally named Stern, Lockhart & Gardner and Stern was off on sabbatical.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 23 February 2012 20:26 (1 year ago) Permalink
he was a big draw; will is going to be on suspension.
― j., Thursday, 23 February 2012 20:32 (1 year ago) Permalink
It's not a public suspension, though right? I mean will the firm have to disclose that he's been suspended for six months? I thought it was just a hush hush agreement with the bar.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 23 February 2012 20:34 (1 year ago) Permalink
that may be right. but it seems like word would get around in the little lawyer-world.
― j., Thursday, 23 February 2012 20:40 (1 year ago) Permalink
And I thought WSC's "I'm taking this to the Bar" comeback was just an empty threat! I'm almost afraid to ask if Josh Charles is leaving the show; in fact, I am patently not asking.
yesssss!!

i recently watched the first season of the good wife for the first time and i believe kalinda has become too subdued. i guess it's penance for sleeping with peter but i'm over it.
― horseshoe, Saturday, 25 February 2012 23:02 (1 year ago) Permalink
six months would give them a bit of mooning-unemployed-will-gardner storyline this season and then let them eat up the rest during the summer.
― j., Saturday, 25 February 2012 23:09 (1 year ago) Permalink
Speaking of Kalinda, you know you're not going to survive the end of the episode when she's being uncomplicatedly friendly with you.
― omar 13337713 (Leee), Sunday, 26 February 2012 01:01 (1 year ago) Permalink
Reviewed in the New Yorker. Intersting to find out that Grace's tutor/weird friend who does vaguely inappropriate Youtube dances is played by someone who does real-life vaguely inappropriate Youtube dances.

That's a really good article. I had sort of picked up on the "show about technology" thing since bitcoin especially, but hadn't thought back through previous seasons and put it in the context of its general savviness about social media. It's a great show to be sophisticated about that sort of thing, because the broader themes have consistently been about public image and private life and the tension between the two, so the technology/social axis really is a way of turning that from a politician's problem into all our problems, or at least pushing that connection in provocative ways.

I generally agree with that article, but that Social Network episode was terrible. The worst kind of "ripped from the headlines" only with them actually mentioning The Social Network. I do like that the Zuckerberg-character has remained a client though.

― j., Friday, 2 March 2012 12:17 (1 year ago) Permalink
I think the most important aspect of the article is that it poses a potentially destabilizing or at least interesting metafictional dilemma: in a show where The New Yorker clearly exists (e.g. Cameron Todd Willingham, bitcoin), I wonder what'll happen when Diane picks up the 2012-03-05 issue...
