WOW this ep of The Good Wife was cinematographically a love letter to their first season, wasn't it? That final scene - Alicia at the podium - was framed and cut perfectly to echo her standing there with Peter in the first episode. I love how smart this show is, I love it.

Also: Elsbeth. That is all.

I wasn't nuts about it, but I did like the last scene and especially the last montage with all of the contrasts. It could be argued that it was too on-the-nose, but I frankly didn't care. :)

Oh, really? What didn't you like about it? I thoroughly enjoyed it, except for not being entirely sure what I thought about the Kalinda storyline.

The quirky parts of this show are not really for me, and they were not only in abundance in this episode, they were actually even more over-the-top than usual. And kind of confusing.

Ah! Makes sense. I loved seeing the inside of Elsbeth's brain, though, I must say.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like this ep did Kalinda a disservice, rolling back to s1 characterization while ignoring a lot of her arc since. :/

Yeah, and I totally had mixed feelings about that. I liked seeing the Kalinda I loved, but it also really underscored the fact that she is just not allowed to grow on this show.
