[Drinking with Inappropriate Women: The Alicia Florrick Story]

[tellitslant]

LOVE. THIS. SHOW. Not as in depth as I would like to be, but I'm back and here's this week's post. :P



OH MAN, I loved seeing Diane and Celeste working together, ahahaha. And I adore Celeste. "It's hard to cross-examine a corpse" indeed.

Intrigued to see where the tutor thing goes. I mean, is there any way not to see that as going the queer route? Really, truly curious.

AAAAH, I KNEW that Sweeney was in it, but I still SQUEED OUT LOUD when I realized it was him they were introducing with the whole "He'll talk to Alicia" thing. (Not very Clarice Starling, really, is it?)

"You and I should get some drinks, trade whore stories." / "Horror?" / "Yeah, what'd I say?" LOL

Kainda refusing to work for Peter, omg. I adore it, but it is also going to lead to Eli finding out things he shouldn't. And I maintain that Kalinda is canonically desperately in love with Alicia, and you cannot convince me otherwise.

I require some Alicia/Celeste. Please. Or Alicia/Celeste/Will. But mostly the first one. ("We're lovers. We've been keeping it secret for months. She's breaking up with me for a man who is not worthy of her." HA.)

LOL, Cary and his "consulting" with Peter.

"So, this ethical thing's for real, huh?"

Alicia, it must feel very odd to be out drinking with someone wh's not Kalinda. Kalinda would be SAD.

"I don't like women. They're all competing with me." HATE SEX PLS. Or they could somehow become friends. That would be good too.

Aw, Alicia paralleled with Grace's lack of friends.

God I love drunk!Alicia.

Does Lisa E have new ear piercings? I recognize the double cartilage piercings in her right ear, but the triple in her left is new, y? Or possibly fake, but I love the way it looks.

Not sure what to think about the revelation that Alicia wasn't the initial choice - what are we meant to take away from that? Just how far Will was willing to go to hire her?

LOVED this ep when I watched it this morning - I'm afraid the squee didn't come off as obviously just now because I am so tiiiiired. But it remains AMAZING, if you ask me. :D

I think this was my favourite one yet this season. So many little twists keeping us on our toes! And Juliana Margulies' acting was awesome, awesome, awesome. Subtler than the episode last season that she won the Emmy for, but still sublime.

I was so glad the job hiring subplot ended the way it did. Because I spent the whole time thinking "has Alicia forgotten how she got this job in the first place???" Also, she's not a partner and it's nice for the show to remind us (and her) of that from time to time.

I dunno about you, but knowing the tutor is 22 made me feel differently about the potential for a relationship. I was thinking she was more like 18. I did like Alicia being all "OK, I need to think about this some more and get back to you" -- yay for showing good parenting skills!

Lisa E's character is called Celeste? I think it's hysterical I hadn't figured that out yet. But yes, we totally need lots of fic with her and Alicia, because they have mad chemistry.

I find myself wanting to hug Kalinda a lot. I was never a Kalinda/Cary shipper, but she needs to someone to give her back massages and stuff, so I think I'd be OK with that now.

Flailing SO HARD. Need Alicia/Celeste like burning.

[tellitslant]

SO MUCH. I may have made an embarrassing noise when Celeste claimed they were lovers. :P

This episode kind of made me want Celeste/Kalinda.

I don't even know how I got there from here.

[tellitslant]

...I don't know how you got there EITHER, but. I LIKE WHERE YOU'RE AT. That would be the kind of sex that's all about the person they're not actually having sex with (ie, Alicia).

[fox1013.livejournal.com]

Yes! Because, like, they're both good at it (obviously), and they're CONVENIENT, especially when Alicia and Will are busy together, but it's not what they WANT.
