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,
            Diva

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

Binge News

Hey People,

Because of shows coming back and me basically using my weekend to catch up and write, I have put The Wire (season 5), Falling Skies (season 2), and WYBMS on the back-burner until further notice. The good news is most of my previous shows and news shows already have their recaps ready to go for the week. As of right now, I just have How to Get Away with Murder and the new show The Player to watch.

Okay so the real reason I'm writing this post is because I'm dealing with a dilemma. Remember this post? It's currently the most viewed post on this site. People are still wondering about The Good Wife and why Julianna Margulies and Archie Panjabi didn't shoot a scene together. Nothing new has been learned since the last post I talked about this since AP said her piece and I don't think anyone has interviewed JM on the subject, which just makes her more guilty in my eyes, but the Kings, the creators and writers of the show, did speak their minds and they did it in the most condescending way. As someone wrote, "They really don't get it."

I was set to not watch this season because I couldn't take the crap this show was spittin' and the fact that they were coming off of their worst season yet, just made me lean towards not returning at all. All summer long, I saw posts of the new actors that were coming to the show and I wasn't interested until I saw the last person they booked--Vanessa Williams. I love her and the best part of her acting is seeing how others react to her acting because she always comes off as this strong personality type. The fact that she'll be playing Eli's new love interest is all the more reason why I wanted to see what's going on, so this is what I've decided to do. I've decided that I will punish The Good Wife by no longer promoting it. You can actually say this show was the reason behind me starting this blog because I had so much to talk about. I mean, it had to get its own post because I wrote so much. With each episode, I wrote a review, but no longer. That is over. I will continue to watch, but I won't speak a word of it, and therefore, you won't see anymore posts about the show from me.

In other news, if you want to know what will be premiering this week, here's the list on what I'll be watching:

Sunday:
  • Blood & Oil
  • Quantico
Wednesday:
  • Code Black
Thursday:
  • The Blacklist

Luv ya,
            Diva

P.S. I'm still on the fence with Limitless and Minority Report so I'm going to give them 1 more shot to impress me and if they don't then I gotta kick them to the curve because I don't have time anymore to watch a show bloom into amazing and these days a show may even not get that chance because networks will up and quit them before that even happens. No one has time for you to get into the groove of things. That's what testing is for, so you can be great from the gate.

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.

The Good Wife S6 E21 Review

Hey People,

Remember when I told you about how Alicia only does something out of reactions? I mean, even in this episode she did the exact same thing she always does. The prosecutor made a comment about Alicia stepping down and that's what made Alicia take the case. She wouldn't have taken the case otherwise. Alicia is seriously the McFly of the law. Just say the word chicken and she'll want to prove you wrong. Her starting her own firm is the first time I can think of where she didn't do something out of reaction. She genuinely thought of this herself. No gut reaction, no input from anyone, it was all her.

A lot of people commented that this episode reminded them of what The Good Wife is all about. I loved this episode because for one, it brought back an old case. I love when shows bring back old cases because it shows their longevity (like SVU). And two, it compared old Alicia to new Alicia. Now I'm not one of those people that hate new Alicia because she's no longer "the good wife" but I do have to admit this episode did a fantastic job at showing how much Alicia has changed. Alicia used to want to fight for the innocent and not so much the guilty. Now Alicia doesn't care so much. All she wants to do is win. With starting her own firm, she can now choose who to represent. I think this will be good for her. If Finn comes along that would be an extra bonus because that man is good all over and he will make sure Alicia doesn't go astray from the "good" path.

Hey People,

PENNY DREADFUL IS BACK!

I've been waiting for this show to come back for so long. It's like all the greats come back at the same time and they're all on the same night. It's a great night tonight folks.

I know there was an early viewing of the premiere tonight, but I haven't watched it yet. Been gaming a bit lately. I'll probably watch it before the premiere and do recaps for you.







S1 E9
So who is her? Damn it Cornell, why didn't you just say the name. Okay I know that I've been rooting for Dave to be the killer. He would have been a great killer, but since it's a woman my call goes to Abby. I still don't think it's Christy. I don't think she's capable of it and as violent as Jess is, I don't think she would hurt her child as her sister claims. Besides that talk between Ben and Abby about how she has to take responsibility really makes me think that she's missing to turn herself in.

Christy is a bitch. I can't stand women who won't let the baby daddys be a part of their children's lives. I wish Ben never slept with Jess. I thought he would deny her because of what Abby said and the way she was acting, but nope, man didn't even hold out a little. Turns out Jess is crazy without her meds, but would probably be really great at throwing daggers.

The season finale is tonight so don't miss it. There has been talk that S&L will be renewed, but probably won't feature the same people except for maybe Cornell. If it does comeback I'll definitely be watching if it is as good as this one.

The Good Wife S6 E20 Review

Hey People,

There were many things that I could have been upset about in this episode and to speak the truth, while I was watching, I was upset, but now that I think about it, there's only one thing I'm really upset about and that's Alicia and Kalinda not having a moment together. I never bought into the rumors of Julianna and Archie being frenemies, but now I think it's true. It's one thing to not have scenes with someone, but on their send off and still not have a scene together (that "And Alicia" scene, they weren't even in the same frame) sends a loud and clear message. There was definitely animosity between them. I understood why Archie was leaving (she felt her Kalinda character bleeding into her other work) and I was definitely wrong about my prediction of how it would end for her, but Kalinda went as she came on the screen--a complete mystery-- and ain't nothing wrong with that.

So what was left in the air:
  • What happened to her husband?
  • What did Kalinda write to Alicia?
  • What was that white card Kalinda broke for Lana?
  • What happened to Lana? (I always wanted to know if they would ever work out)
Kalinda can always come back if she wants to, so I'm glad this wasn't a death, but if Julianna Margulies has anything to say about it, I doubt she will. Goodbye Kalinda and good luck Archie Panjabi.

Hey People,




Congratulations to S&L for being an actually good miniseries that has a chance of being renewed.

I had 3 big problems with this episode though. For one, Ben's attorney sucks. Most criminal defense attorney's wouldn't put their defendant on the stand unless they absolutely have to that doesn't mean if Ben can't go on the stand that he should admit guilt. If I was Ben I would have fired the lawyer on the spot. On top of that I don't see why the lawyer has to go after Christy at all. Ben should no longer be at fault when someone else drugged him. No offense to his best friend, but the lawyer should go after Dave as the responsible party. The other thing is just Christy being a bitch. It's just so wrong how she uses her kids against him. Ben doesn't want her money, all he wants is to spend time with his children and she won't even let him do that, not even on frickin Christmas. Lastly, why didn't Ben wipe down the weapon before he threw it down the hole? Didn't even wipe down the handle bars. If you re-watch the scene you'll notice Dave uses his sweatshirt to not leave fingerprints. Dave knows the deal.

I'm glad that Ben finally remembers that night and he's not the killer, but what I'm really glad about is how the story flowed and actually made sense. It wasn't some half-ass concoction that was so out there that I wouldn't be able to get behind. I've always thought the killer was either Christy, Dave, or Abby, but now I definitely think it's Dave. I think Christy will be the last red herring with having a secret stash of money. I don't think she knew about the affair and that someone told her. Maybe even Kevin, the neighbor who tried to kill Ben, told her or maybe it was Dave himself. The reason I think it's Dave is because he knows too much. I don't think he got the flashlight to help out Ben, but to torment him with it again, but he didn't plan on Christy seeing Ben in the woods. Dave drugged Ben to begin with and Dave seemed disappointed about not going with Ben to finish their game of tracing the night. Plus, Dave seems dumb, but legally he seems to know his shit (not leaving fingerprints behind). My money is on Dave.

The Good Wife S6 E19 Review

Hey People,

So what happens now? Two big things happened in this episode: the Democratic Party fucked Alicia over and Cary is willing to testy against Bishop and is therefore fucking himself over.

I kept telling everyone to how faith in the Kings, but some of you were like I hate this season, it's not as good as last season. I hate the campaign. Just be patient people. Although, I do have to admit with those that said they wish they came out with this story earlier. The season is almost over and it's just about to get good. Now this is a review so I'm guessing you already have seen the episode because I'm going to run through some theories with you.

Did Peter set up his wife? Even I don't think Peter is that cruel, but I have to admit I didn't think that he could. However, like someone mentioned Peter knows the ins and outs of politics, he and Eli should have known what would happen to Alicia, right? I have to say, I'm very torn. But no matter what Peter did, I do hope that Alicia goes down swinging. I hope she takes them all on to the point that they beg her to take the seat. And if Peter is a part of it, well then season 7 will be very personal indeed. It will be Peter vs. Alicia and it will get nasty. Now that I think about it, I actually hope Peter is involved just so I can get to see it.

As for Cary testifying against Bishop to stop the SA from persecuting Diane over the metadata debacle, there is no way Cary will die. Since Matt Czuchry is signed on for another 2 years with the show, I know there is no way Cary is going to die, but that doesn't mean Kalinda is off the hook. I still doubt Kalinda will die because a character died last year and since the prosecution was going after Diane and not Kalinda, I doubt she'll go to jail for the metadata. However, I'm still hoping we find out whatever happened to Kalinda's husband. I seriously think that story-line will pop up in the end. I really don't want Kalinda to go without knowing what happened there and I also don't want to see her go without having one last drink with Alicia. We, viewers, deserve that after years of them not being together on screen.

The season is coming to end soon and I'm just hoping nothing is left on the table with Kalinda and it goes out with a bang.

Luv ya,

Hey People,

S1 E6
Last time, Ben confronted Keven, the neighbor, because he thought he was behind all the hacker crap that's been going on since he worked for the government. Ben was right. Man thought Ben was guilty and actually ended up kidnapping him and tried to torture the truth out of him. But the truth is, at least for now, Ben didn't kill Tom. Kevin has been watching Ben for years and hated Ben because he slept with Jess, another soldier's wife. Kevin has some issues because obviously someone slept with his wife when he was away and now he's taking all his anger out on Ben. In the end, Kevin was caught by Cornell, who suspected Kevin all along.

At the end of the episode, Ben's reading his emails and opens up an unpublished article on his family. So he goes over to the reporter's place and was just about to beat the living shit out of him until the reporter tells him that he was just using the article to get Ben's attention and that he isn't after his family, but after Cornell.

I felt bad for Jess. Like Dave said, she has no one and Ben tossed her out like chick was nothing. I'm not saying start another affair with her, but it doesn't hurt to talk out in the open where Christy can see them at all times.

Possibly Killer:
  1. Abby
  2. Dave
  3. Christy

The Good Wife S6 E18 Review

Hey People,

Wow that was a great episode and I'm calling it great not because of some twist that happened, although there was a twist at the end, I'm calling it great because of the topic that was brought up--gay marriage. I'll get to Alicia in a moment because her shit definitely needs to be discussed as well as Kalinda's hot mess, but first let's talk about gay marriage.

For me in general, I'm not for marriage. Marriage seems like a trap. Just writing about it right now makes me hyperventilate. Obviously, you can tell I'm going to be a run away bride. I used to be for civil unions, but then I learned civil unions are like separate, but equal. It didn't work for blacks and whites and so I wouldn't expect it to work for gays and straights. So that's how I became support gay marriage. I think people have a hard time separating church and state. People aren't debating on whether gay marriage should be recognized by the church or any religion. People are debating on whether gay marriage should be recognized by the state/government. I fell like some people don't get that distinction.

I love the Kings for talking about current events (Ferguson, 3D guns) and now since the whole Indiana debacle just happened, it just amazes me how the Kings can foresee the future and have this episode already done and waiting on Easter Sunday. Indiana law has now amended its law as well as Arkansas and hopefully Michigan will be smart and not go down this same road, but this is the same Michigan that fucked over their unions so one can only hope.

This episode does a great job of showing both sides of the argument and even though Diane won the mock trial and therefore the wedding planner was deemed of discriminating against gays, it was the rich conservative that got the last word in. He basically said Obama and the Clintons opposed gay marriage and then hopped on the bandwagon when it was convenient for them. This may be true. I don't know, we will never know if they were ever really against it or if they truly are for it now. But you could say the same thing about republicans. I truly believe that there are republicans that don't give a shit one way or the other about gay marriage, but have to be against it because the republican party as a whole is against it. There was this one congressman who was initially against gay marriage and what made him change his mind was his son. His son came out as a gay man and now that congressman is for gay marriage. Like Diane said, politics should be personal because if you wouldn't impose a law on a family member or even yourself, then how could you do it to someone else? That goes for opposing a law as well like Ted Cruz, who opposes Obamacare to the point that he shut down the government, and yet will be on it himself. What I'm trying to say is don't be a walking hypocrite. End of political rant.

The Good Wife S6 E17 Review

Hey People,

Now that was a good episode and was probably the best episode since the show came back from its hiatus. Now some believe that this episode was too out there that people wouldn't write such things in emails, but as the Sony hack shows, it is totally plausible.

The case-of-the-week was an interesting, corporation vs. downloading/sharing site. I'm for streaming, it's a win for everyone when you stream. Anyway, the sharing online company, which is equivalent to Limewire (I don't know the top downloading site of today, since I don't really download anymore; again, streaming for the win). I liked the back and forth between the case. The site knew about downloads, but the company was responsible for its own leak on the site, but then the ads for downloads were porn sites, but you only saw the porn ads if you visited porn sites. But it was the hackers that made the company crumble and even made FAL back down.

Apparently emails were made so you can talk shit about someone behind their back. The law firm was a hot mess. I can't believe we saw someone spit on Diane's window. That's just disgusting. Here's what I don't get, if Alicia was worried about an email between her and Elfman implying to their one night stand and she used her firm's account, then why wasn't it part of the hack? She slept with Johnny not that long ago. I think the writers missed the ball on that one or maybe the hackers are waiting to strike the new SA down at a later date. Anyway Alicia needed the hacks squashed just as much as the firm did so they wanted out of the case, but the company didn't want them to go because who else would want them as clients? Eventually they settled for an apology that the company owed the site since the company was also hacked. Moral of the story? Never write something in an email that you wouldn't say to said person's face. Also, it's great to see Julius back from New York. It's not the same when it's just David Lee. Those 2 are comedy gold.

Just a quick recap:

Cary vs. Diane (Cary said Diane has a stick up her ass and Diane called Cary a sub-average lawyer)
Julius vs. David (Julius called David gay and David thinks Julius was an affirmative action hire)
Kalinda vs. Harold (Harold implied that Kalinda gave him a blowjob in the storage closet)

COMEDY GOLD!

Hey People,

I'm finally caught up to The Walking Dead.

S5 E15
We'll save Crazy Rick for last. Glenn confronts Nicholas and tells him its for everybody's best interest if he stays within the walls since all he knows how to do is run away. We find out that Nicholas is the one that took Rick's gun from the blender. Now I'm wondering who is he going to use it on.

Carl was getting all close to Enid. BTW, that was an awesome tree, just saying. Daryl and Aaron are looking for the person who writes "W" on the foreheads of walkers. This person is the same person who released walkers into Noah's camp and is doing the same thing to Alexandria.

Michonne and Rosita go out looking for Sasha, who is sick and tired of playing defense. Girl still isn't over her PTSD yet and I think Michonne and Rosita are both realizing what Carl and Enid already know. They should be out in the wild so they don't become soft.

As for Rick, he has lost his damn mind. Someone put it nicely when they said Rick is becoming Shane. Rick's biggest mistake was listening to Carol. The woman's solution to anything is to kill someone.

Little Kid: I broke a nail.
Carol: I need to kill you. You will only slow me down.

I understand where Rick is coming from. Their group isn't prepared for what's on the outside. They wouldn't survive because they haven't had it tough yet. They rather save themselves than help save someone else. However, you don't just kill a person just for beating his wife (as much as I hate wife beaters). Kicking him out is like a death sentence. Man wouldn't survive a day out there. He's a alcoholic wife beater. But the way Rick was talking sounded like Ricktatorship was back in full effect and Michonne was having none of it. So yes, I was Team Michonne. Someone had to shut Rick up before his mouth proved what Gabriel said about the group (being devils) was correct.

My Death Wishlist: Gabriel, Nicholas, and Carol

I hear Daryl may die tonight. I don't think he will, but I may be wrong. It would be sad if he does though. Hopefully, Morgan shows up tonight.

This is it folks. Tonight is the season finale, so don't miss it. You're most likely not going to because TWD is the most watch television show on TV.




S1 E5
Ben, oh Ben, why do you have to accuse everyone in your neighborhood? So far you have been right 0 times. I'm surprised the neighbors haven't kicked you guys out of the neighborhood. So the accusation-of-the-week was the neighbor with the mentally challenged son. Ever since the news people came to town, the challenged boy has been having a difficult time settling into his routine. He acts out because of it, but there's no way he could have killed the little boy because he's afraid of rain and the boy was killed while it was raining, so out that theory went. There was also a thing about the neighbor's other son, but he didn't do it either. Besides he called the police to confess to hitting mailboxes while driving drunk. He went to rehab and now the boy is clean.

It seems like the Detective is finally not viewing Ben as the prime suspect anymore when she receives a text from an anonymous person to visit Ben's house only to find a bunch of flashlights in his garage. The murder weapon was never made public. 

The paint job of "guilty" on Christy's car was Nat's boyfriend. I guess, I should say ex-boyfriend now. All because Ben wouldn't let him see his daughter. Yea, that's how you win him over, write guilty on his wife's car.

Christy admits she doesn't know what to feel with Ben because as much as she wants to be mad even though she still loves him, it's not about her because a child is dead. She's been hanging out with a client and who knows if she'll take her frustrations out on him, sexually. Nat get's in a fight with Jess because Jess just found out Nat wasn't actually babysitting one night and she let Tom see his father, but Nat owns her mistakes like her father taught her. As for Abby, she was uninvited to a party because of hitting the boy at the party last week and parents don't think it's safe to have her at the party. 

Potential Killers: My money is still on Abby (she likes Christmas too much), Dave (he knows more than he lets on, plus it seems he has nothing to do all day so he could have done it), or Christy (maybe that's she stays away from the house so much, too get away from what she's done).

The Good Wife S6 E16 Review

Hey People,

So the campaign is finally over and I think many fans are glad that it's over, myself included. So far most comments I've been reading aren't happy that Alicia won. Let me make it official. ALICIA WON PEOPLE! I'm glad that she won. To those who are upset that she did, well I know you would be more upset if she lost because then you would just be complaining about how the show wasted this whole season on this story-line when she was going to lose anyway. I know I would have started a riot. And to those who wanted her to lose so she could go back to being a lawyer, she's still a lawyer. She'll probably have more cases to deal with now, she just won't be handling them herself. She'll be more like a lawyer whisperer telling her minions what to do and who to watch out for. The Good Wife is no longer a procedural, it's a serial show now so to those who just want Alicia to just do cases, this show isn't for you anymore.

So Alicia was basically playing Halo the whole time. I have to say that's like a plus, plus, plus in my book for Finn. A man who plays video games is a man who's after my heart. While Alicia is was playing with him (not in the way I would like), she finds out he's seeing someone. It didn't faze her probably because she was thinking, "Well I'm getting some from Johnny so it's all good," but little does she know that might not be for long. Johnny decided to take the gig in LA after seeing Alicia celebrating her win with Peter. Johnny should know it's all for show. I'm upset we didn't get to see any of the action and if he's leaving I guess there would be no point to it.

Hey People,

There goes Ben again, accusing people left and right. First he accused his best friend was sexing his teenage daughter and then he started accusing his neighbors of beating their child to death and therefore must have killed his son. On both accounts he was wrong. His best friend is like an uncle to his daughter and his neighbors kid had hemophilia caused by the incest of the parents. They were half-siblings. I can tell you one thing: I didn't see that coming.

I knew that guy Ben was painting for was a reporter. I thought he would have revealed himself earlier, but I guess it makes sense to do it now since he had a juicy story. I wonder why Ben didn't just give him the exclusive instead of having him write about his neighbors. That's the least he could do after opening a can on worms on them.

Also worthy to note, his daughter is not pregnant and thank God for that. That girl plus pregnancy would be overload.

The Good Wife S6 E15 Review

Hey People,

Okay before we start let me hit you up with some facts. It is illegal in the United States to make 3D guns made from plastic. It's illegal because they are undetectable by metal detectors. It's actually quite scary that there are exceptions to the rule. As you can tell, I am not down for this at all. But there is no doubt about it, in this case, they all should have gone to jail especially the guy who made the gun from plastic and shot from it since it's illegal to do that in the first place and it's illegal to distribute the design so that guy should have gone to jail too. You need a license to make plastic guns with metal in them. Suing the manufacturer of the 3D printer was a stretch since that's like suing gun manufacturers for a gun that ended up killing someone. So I liked the idea of the case, I just didn't like how off base from the truth it was. At least the guy who was shot got $5 million from it.

What was really nice about this episode and should be mentioned is we actually saw some supporting cast members for more than 2 seconds (except for Kalinda and maybe you can add Cary to the mix, but the first half of the season was dedicated to him). I'm guessing it's because we had a case-of-the-week which I don't mind when they're good. I actually like episodes with them in it as long as it balances out with the serial aspect of the show (Person of Interest does this perfectly) so it's not dubbed as a filler. We got to see Diane and Kurt which I have to say are my favorite couple. I can't wait to see Diane go hunting next week and we also saw Finn who has been MIA recently. Then you had the great guests playing the opposing naive lawyer as well as the blood donor judge. I'm glad there's still animosity between Finn and Cary because Finn did try to put away Cary for 15 years so it can't be all sunshine and smiles.

Can I just applaud Ryan Phillippe for a moment? Well done. Usually when I watch shows and actors are mad some just raise their voice to show it, but with Ryan, you actually felt it. The anger, the rage. He made me think he would actually kill someone in that state, but to be honest wouldn't most of us get that anger in the same position and say the same thing? I know I would.

Turns out the AWOLer didn't kill his son, but if he didn't do it, then the cops are going to be at Ben's doorstep again. So someone planted the flashlight in Ben's car or did it fall out from its hiding spot? I do have to say hiding it with the gifts was genius, but he should have just turned it in. Hiding evidence only makes you look more guilty.

As for his daughter, well she's a train wreck and she seems to be very distraught about Tom or was it because she was pregnant? I can never tell with teenagers. Either way girl is getting on my nerves. I don't think Dave slept with his daughter, but I can see how Ben jumped to that conclusion. I started to think Ben could have been the killer since he knows more than what he puts on, but there's no motive that I can think of.

Ben vows to Tom's mother that he'll find the killer. Why would he do that? I have no idea. Damn Ben's life sucks so much right now. I'm loving it.



I didn't think I was going to write so much for this since it was a filler, but I did. I guess I have to go back to writing reviews for it.

The Good Wife S6 E14 Review

Hey People,

Last week was another filler, but it seems like many were divided on whether you should like the episode or hate. I loved it. I will admit it was a filler episode, but it's rare to get to see how characters think and that's exactly what we got in this episode. The whole episode centered around Alicia and what she thought and I have to say, Alicia thinks of some naughty things.

The episode starts off with Alicia having laryngitis and therefore is to sit and do nothing all day, but prepare for her interview. Of course that doesn't happen and instead Alicia prepares for interview and also her suit Canning has against her firm for kicking him out of the building. She's a lawyer so Alicia thinks of questions that might be asked during the deposition as well as her interview and sometimes her mind started to wonder into other categories.

Man was I disappointed with this episode. We waited over a month to get one and it's a filler. Don't get me wrong, I love Sweeney and his wife (they're made for each other), but I wish what was happening outside of court was just as interesting. We're pass the procedural seasons so anything that adds nothing to the story is a pointless episode. The only thing we can take away from this episode was its ending with Alicia and Grace. Alicia realized she is no longer good anymore. She doesn't like who she has become and maybe this was a setup for the episode tonight. Maybe she might start changing for the better.

A lot of people are sick and tired of the campaign story and want Alicia to lose because of it. I actually think the opposite. I'm also tired of the campaigning and think Prady would make a good State's Attorney, maybe even a better one than Alicia since he doesn't degrade, nor lower his standards to get an endorsement, but I also think Alicia being the SA would make a great story, especially if she had to go against her own firm. It would be like when L/G was against F/A. More importantly, it would give Alicia and Finn a barrier since Alicia would be Finn's boss. Prady winning would just revert the story to back to where it was, making the whole campaign story-line pointless. But that's just me.

Case-of-the-week: Sweeney sued the makers of a movie that depicted him killing his wife (even though he did in fact kill his wife, he wasn't found guilty). They tried to prove that Sweeney did in fact kill his wife, but when Chumhum (which is also a client of F/A/L) was featured in their film without permission they knew they could get sued for millions of dollars so they backed down.

As for Kalinda, who seems to always be on her own as of late, she has been working for Bishop since she owed him one for helping her with Cary's case (even though she didn't need him in the end). She had to drive Bishop's son from school to his house. This is probably what I liked most about the episode because it made Bishop human. You can say a lot about Bishop, but one thing you cannot call him is a deadbeat dad. He loves his son more than anything and it was really nice to see that side of him even though it has been hinted at for seasons. People think Bishop will get Kalinda killed one way or another (who knows it might have to do with that car that follows Dylan), but I agree with those who think Kalinda won't die since Will just died not that long ago.

Hopefully this episode tonight will make up for last week's.
