Julianna MarguLIES Is Still Ruining The Good Wife For Me

Hey People,

*I guess you could consider this Part II of my rant. ICYMI: Part I

#TeamArchie

Okay this woman really needs to shut her yap. This just happened yesterday and I didn't have time to talk about it, nor do I want to spend a single post talking about this woman, but recently since I've decided to go back to watching TGW, I felt like I needed to respond. I QUIT, for real this time. Technically, I didn't not quit because I haven't even watched the premiere and I no longer plan to.

"There's no animosity on my part," which is basically implying that there is on someone else's part aka Archie's. "It's a shame, because I wonder if it was two men, when one finds out that he fucked his best friend's wife, if it would get that same attention, you know what I mean?" No liar, I don't know what you mean. How did she make this about sexism? I seriously don't know where she's coming from with that. People loved Alicia and Kalinda together. I remember in the beginning how everyone praised their relationship and I'm pretty sure most would agree that out of everyone's relationship on the show, sexual or not, theirs was the best. This is why everyone wanted to see them together again as friends because it was so great before. Yes, Kalinda slept with Peter, Alicia's husband, but that was before Kalinda even met Alicia. Kalinda didn't do it for shits and giggles, she did it because she wanted to start over a new life and get away from her current husband at the time. Peter being the state's attorney could provide that for her. Kalinda was blackmailed into doing it and if Alicia would listen for 5 seconds, she would have found out the reason why. Hell, maybe she would have found out if the liar didn't step in and change the story just because she didn't want to shoot a scene with her

"It was shot the way Robert wanted to shoot it, and the storyline, too." Who the hell would want to shoot like that? That's more time, effort, and waste of money. Yea, let me hire 2 lookalikes, waste film and take longer in the editing room. Genius! As for the storyline that definitely wasn't part of the plan since when asked why Kalinda and Alicia haven't made up Robert says, "We won't get into a public fight with Julianna [MarguLIES] on this because she knows this character almost better than anyone." He admitted that wasn't his intent for the characters. They were supposed to make up, but someone just had to ruin it.

"You also have to remember there's difficulty... [Panjabi] was also doing another show, called The Fall. I went along with whatever Robert asked me to do and I did it happily." I won't even refute this. I'll let Archie Panjabi do it for me, "The Fall was not even in production at that time and I was in New York ready to film the scene!"

Margu lies so much that I can't deal with this heifer anymore. I'll be glad when her show gets cancelled. It won't be long with these ratings.

Luv ya,

P.S. Julianna is on the wrong show. She should be in Pretty Little Liars.

Reasons Why Castle Is Ruined (RIP Caskett)

Hey People,

So I know this is a recap and all, but I'm totally going to use this space as a rant this time because I need to vent on Castle. I thought having new showrunners would do Castle some good, but that turned out to be a huge mistake. I think they're worse than the last ones because they broke the 1st commandment of Castle--Thou shall not mess with Caskett.

I chose S7 poster to show
how gloomy this situation really is.

Let's start out with the good (this may be a short paragraph). I actually loved how they shot the show--how they dived in and out of the past and present, so when we were looking at footage, it wasn't just us looking at a screen of a screen. I also liked how we got to see Beckett's view in all this. I thought we might not since Stana Katic was busy at the time with her movie. They also still managed to get Beckett and Castle to figure out something together. I also loved...nope that's it.

Onto the hating. I really didn't hate the episode that much. Overall, it was a good episode, until that ending. That ending seriously ruined Castle as a whole and here are the reasons why. But before I get to that can I just say that Castle's step-mom was so fucking random. I was like umm okay chick. It's nice that you saved Beckett and all, but you seriously came from left field. $10 she's behind it all. Will Beckett even tell Castle about his step-mom? No more secrets my ass. Okay, back to the hate list. By the end of the episode, Beckett chose to investigate further into LokSat and the only way for her to do that without putting Castle in harms way was to leave him.

1. How is leaving going to solve anything? You're still married to the guy. Don't you think the people who are going to come after you can still see you're married and still threaten to kill Castle? They did the 1st time (with spiders I might add), what's to stop them a 2nd time?
2. Why does Beckett still have an obsession? Didn't she get over this in the season 4 finale when she was hanging off the side of a rooftop? This makes no sense. Her mother's case was more close to home. If she could over that, then why is she hanging onto LokSat, something that she doesn't know shit about.
3. Beckett chose LokSat over Castle. I don't care what she tells herself, she chose LokSat over Castle. No one was going to come after her or Castle anymore, but because of her "obsession" she can't let it go and so she chose LokSat. The ending conversation basically went like this:
   
   Beckett: I'm heading out.
   Castle: You're leaving me?
   Beckett: Do you trust me?
   Castle: Always.
   Beckett: If I come back, I hope you will still accept me. If not, that's totally cool. I understand.
   Castle: Why can't being my wife be enough for you?
   Beckett: Peace motherfucker!
   
   Okay, it didn't go down like that at all, but that's how I perceived it in my head.

What irritates me the most is this: No matter what case comes along now, Castle will always be #2. There will always be another case and that's why Beckett getting over her mother's case was so important because if she can let go of that, then she can let go of any case. But if the "obsession" is still there, then what's the point of Castle sticking around when she'll just go run off to go solve another case. Castle doesn't deserve this, which is why I totally advocate for Caskett to officially breakup.

Like I said before, I was really intrigued to see how the writers would handle Caskett because they were in a tough position. They had to move the story forward which only meant 3 things--a baby or a promotion, or both. They went with promotion, which made sense at the time because they didn't know if the 7th season would be its last and we all know Beckett will be a senator one day so it would have been a nice ending for us to know the prophecy was coming true. Come season 8 premiere, they had to deal with their decision. Beckett chose to be a captain instead of a senator, which was fine because the show did this just in case they came back (Castle is a cop show, not a political one). The problem then becomes Beckett is desk bound and so how do we keep being a cop show with Beckett at her desk and Castle still by her side? Okay, I actually agree with what they did for this for the most part. I thought coming up with the Attorney General plot was genius because it is classified, which makes it justifiable that Beckett wouldn't tell Castle. However, I think instead of Beckett choosing to not run, she should have opted to run. That way, it would actually seem like Beckett was putting Castle 1st by not wanting any harm to come to him (even though it still will since it's public knowledge she's married to him), instead of her being a selfish bitch and choosing to solve a case. It could have been really cool to see Beckett on the run. They could have alternated the perspective each episode like they kinda did with these past two episodes.

Damn, they really should have just gone with the baby story.

Luv ya,

P.S. Why can't drama writers write dramas where the couple don't go through a break-up? Comedy writers do it all the time.

Julianna Margulies Ruined The Good Wife For Me

Hey People,

*If Julianna Margulies is behind this, then this is how I feel.

It pains me to put this picture up right now.

I loved this show and I still love this show even when it had a so-so season because it's still one of the best network shows on air, but one thing I hate about shows is when a writer lets fans write the show for them. However, that's not what happened this time. Instead a producer was calling the shots and ruined one of the best relationships on The Good Wife. I'm talking about you Julianna Margulies.

I have just learned that the scene between Archie Panjabi and Julianna Margulies was a "parent trap trick". Now, I don't really care if they didn't get along in real life and I don't care who started it. However, you put your shit aside and you get your shit done. There has been so many instances where in real life actors don't get along, but they are professionals and still do their job. Some of my favorite movies have lead actors who didn't get along. Hell, The Vampire Diaries leads dated and broke up and their shit was all over the gossip sites and they still did their intimate scenes together. So what's The Good Wife's excuse?

HLN said it perfectly:

It's not so much the fake scene that was the problem--theoretically, it's possible to have a meaningful scene between two characters even if the actors aren't filming together. But the real problem is that (presumably) Julianna's dislike of Archie hijacked the narrative in the show for the past two and a half years, and that IS a problem. Alicia and Kalinda had made a lot of progress in building back their friendship in seasons 3B and 4A. That was all suddenly thrown away from season 4B onward, and the actresses were never together again. It wrecked an important dynamic and core relationship of the show. I'll personally never forgive JM for it, and I'll never watch another thing she's in, ever.

The reason most people think Margulies is behind this is because she's a producer and lead of the show. If anyone could get away with a demand, it would be her. So all the conspiracies between Panjabi and Margulies are true, I mean why else would you fake a scene that everyone has been waiting on for years? Even Buzzfeed wrote about them not being in scenes together. Also, what a waste of money and time dedicated to this foolishness.

I was looking forward to the next season, but now I'm not so sure I'll be watching because I don't like when someone dictates the narrative in their favor. I wonder how much the Kings had to change their story for her selfish reasons and I'm a little upset with the Kings for trying to convince the viewers that they were just messing with us by not putting them together. As if it was one big joke.

The Good Wife has lost a fan. I'm not even sure I want to review the season finale anymore.

Luv ya,
            Diva

P.S. Someone made a good joke that their must be a gag order on set because no one is saying anything.
P.P.S. Margulies needs some good PR stat!
P.P.P.S. When I first watched the scene something felt off and I was glad when I saw comments of others feeling the same. I went back to re-watched it and I noticed that Julianna looks away from Archie when Archie said goodbye, so she could turn her head to say goodbye as Archie walks away. However in Archie's scene, "Julianna" is looking right at Archie as she says goodbye. I thought it was odd because with a moment like that--the final goodbye--a continuity error like that wouldn't happen. It's a big moment and whether Alicia is looking at Kalinda as she says goodbye is something a veteran actress like Julianna wouldn't make, especially when they did a close up of her as she turned her head.

Fans Deserve Better, Castle

Hey People,

Okay, so anytime I check my Google Now there is always an article about Castle and how neither Nathan Fillion, nor Stana Katic have signed a contract with ABC to extend their run for the show. In other words, there may not be a season 8.

Now I think 7 seasons are a lot and if the actors feel like it's time for them to go, I wouldn't hate on that; however, what I will hate on is if they left while their character's story isn't over. Beckett's story with her mother (that's been going on since the 1st season) was wrapped up and so was the 3XK story (that started in the 3rd season and ended recently), but Castle's MIA story just started at the end of the 6th season. If they wrapped that up this season, I wouldn't have any problems with them not coming back next fall. But they're not and what's even worse is they're starting a new mythology for Beckett by the end of this season and are ending it on a cliffhanger.

I just want to make sure that I get this straight. They'll have two unfinished stories that they just started recently and they'll end on a cliffhanger this season. I'm not going to lie to you people. I'm frickin' pissed. I spent 7 years watching this show and for them to end it like this even though they know they may not return for another season is a slap in the face.

I'm kind of upset with both parties. I'm upset with the writers that wrote this story without considering they may not be back next year and I'm upset with the actors because they know how this season will end and they might fuck their fans over. But I'm still holding out hope for Fillion and Katic to renew their contracts. They truly love their fans. Fillion will be Browncoat until the day he dies, no matter how much I dislike Firefly.

It's really sad that a show that has gone on for so long may not get an ending. To me, there is no point of watching a show if there's no end.

Luv ya,
           Diva

P.S. It's funny how Chuck, who was always in danger of cancellation, wrote their season finales as series finales and when they announced their 5th season would be their last, they ended up writing probably the worst series finale out of all of them. But at least I can say Chuck is complete and had an end, even if I didn't like it.

Why I Will Never Be A Lost Or Pretty Little Liars Fan

Hey People,

So there was an uproar last night over the Pretty Little Liars finale. I used to be a fan of Pretty Little Liars back in the day and I watched it until the end of the 2nd season. So why did I quit? Because I knew I. Marlene King's game and I wasn't going to play and I think those of you who were upset about the finale should stop playing too.

When I watched the finale of the 2nd season, I thought the same thing you thought then and what you thought last night, "We're finally going to know who A is." But it didn't happen then and it wasn't revealed now. If you want to stay positive, you can think at least you know more about A now then you did before, but I know a lot of people aren't satisfied with that.

King does the same old trick. She has numerous red herrings that are pointless and she promises you something that she doesn't deliver on. I knew what she was doing by the end of 2nd season and it seems like she's kept up with the same formula. I thought back then if she wasn't going to reveal it there, then she wasn't going to reveal it until the series finale and by then, I thought, it would be too late and I doubt it would make sense. The thing about these type of shows that hang on the balance of a reveal is that there needs to be a plan from the beginning and I doubt King had one or maybe she did the first season and because the show went on for so long she had to scrap it. It happens, but what you don't want to happen is a Gossip Girl scenario, where they reveal who it is and it makes absolutely no fucking sense or worse they reveal who it is and it's a fucking noob. Neither option is pretty, nor does it satisfy fans. Hell, even sometimes when they do have an end game it fails because they didn't execute it right (looking at you HIMYM).
