Mostly here to talk about The Good Wife

Especially Cary and Diane. Also like Suits, the Flash, and a few others. British.

This is Tuwim (named after Polish poet Julian Tuwim). He’s a mix of (probably) a Labrador and Irish Wolfhound. Incredibly intelligent and stubborn, a bit traumatized after the shelter but he’s a huge friend to people he gets to know after a while.

***QUANTICO SPOILERS*** It's not often I get genuinely angry at a show runner, but Josh Safren you are a fucking idiot! Why on earth would you kill off the best, most interesting character on your show? No amount of "this made sense for the character in the moment" makes this a good creative choice for the show. Genuinely just baffled by your choices.

So there might well be a Diane/Luca spin off, and I'm not even that excited? This is where TGW season 7 has left me I guess.

Then why did we waste so much time on Alicia’s conflict between Peter or Jason? Why did we need Ghost Will to help her decide to choose Jason?

Rght?!! Why was the finale so focused on that bullshit.

Review: 'The Good Wife' comes to an ambiguous, disappointing 'End'

Did the finale work too hard to evoke the series premiere?

So while there’s lots of things that I found unsatisfying about season 7 of the Good Wife (I could do a whole other post on Cary, and probably will at some point) I think this review gets at the route of my problem – which is that this season, particularly the Peter’s trial arc (which to be fair I haven’t even watched a lot of, the recaps were annoying enough) has been aimed less at showing Alicia’s organic growth as a person, and more at contriving a situation so we can talk about how things have come full circle, the parallels with the original premise, etc.

Basically, it feels like the writers have prioritised being thematically clever, rather than developing satisfying character growth for Alicia or anyone else. One of my favourite things about the show was the interactions and nuances between the characters, and it feels like a lot of that has been lost for the sake of plot – and bad plot at that – and it makes me sad.

Also, Alicia even thinking about politics again? Arrrrg, no.

I think when I re-watch in future, Hail Mary will be my series finale. Not that there isn’t good stuff after that, but that’s the last time I was truly enthralled by this show.

Which one character do you wish we’d seen more of in The Good Wife season 7?

Carissa: Cary, of course. When Will was killed, it was my hope he would become the next leading man. He didn't need to become Alicia's love interest, but he certainly paid his dues on the series and earned the right to more story. That has always been my biggest disappointment.

Christine L: God, Cary of course! After Kalinda left, there was this gaping hole in Cary's story. He had no closure with this woman he loved, and then NEVER mentioned her again. Like, what even was that?! I expected some more tortured Cary scenes, maybe he becomes a recluse alcoholic, I don't know...SOME kind of payoff there. He was so obviously in love with Kalinda. What we got from Cary this season is, by far, one of the most disappointing things I've seen writers do to a character in a LONG time.

Christine O: It’s unanimous. Cary was woefully underused after he got out of prison last season. How could have so little reaction to Kalinda running off? What they’ve done to his character this season has been a horrible disappointment.

YEP YEP YEP. This just made no sense to me.
