I'm amazed that the Good Wife is on fire this late into its run. I can understand why the Emmys snubbed the show a bit in Seasons 3 and 4, but damn, Season 5 should win it all!
See, Lockhart Gardner might have big ambitions but they haven't changed their ways and it bites them on the ass. If they didn't act like they're too important to waste time on Natalie Flores, they wouldn't have lost a 90 million dollar client to Florrick Agos. Howard Lyman wasn't to blame, the other partners were. That's why Florrick Agos will survive despite their crappy offices and zero budget. They won't let their egos get in the way.
Robyn was fantastic Glad she stepped up to the challenge. The Will with his 'alternative' free spirited girlfriend subplot needs to end, really boring. Lovely to see Eli reconnect with Natalie. I keep hoping they won't make Peter have an affair with Marilyn but they keep hinting at it, ugh.
Wow, yet another extraordinary episode. Robyn was great as mini-Kalinda, and I love Kalinda as mentor. As for Will, I'm afraid his hubris will destroy the firm: a firm in New York? Lyman is the comedic relief and in a real firm he'd be retired but I think he'll just be kept on to entertain us with his gaffes. And I loved Eli/Natalie - up tothe end. :D
Yeah, I'm on hard mode campaign for them to get some nods for this season. However, they'll be up against the last of Breaking Bad, so I don't think there's any chance of winning.
They could cancel all other shows and that'd be fine by me as long as The Good Wife is still in production. (^.^) - I loved Eli acting like a giddy schoolboy, his scenes with Natalie were just too adorable! The restaurant scene had me squealing! I hope Natalie stays for a while. :) - I really loved Robyn's storyline as well, way to go Robyn! It was such a pleasant surprise that Kalinda's words motivated her to step up her game - I could definitely see Kalinda's influence in Robyn's investigation (on a sidenote, every time Alicia goes on the offensive I can see Will's influence on her; she has adopted the same confidence and style of arguing in court).
I wish there were more Kalinda scenes because she's been severely neglected for a while now and I miss seeing her in action, but I guess it's not possible to fit more scenes in a ~43-minute episode. :/ If only the episodes could last longer... P.S.: That scene of Alicia and her new chair at the end of the ep reminded me of the "The Good Chair" comment that @marcela Mattiuzzo made last week. :D Heck, I'd also watch any TGW spin-off, even if it's the story of Alicia's or Diane's chair.
They have a potential lawsuit pending because LG is a big South Korean tech company with similar lettering :p - of course they don't have the smiley logo but well. Essentially, Will is throwing caution to the wind, opening new offices in New York, changing the firm's name and log - because no one should waste money on logo when they're an established law firm that doesn't have need for rebranding - and I"m seriously wondering how that will be paid for.
Hehe, I'm not that familiar with American trademark law, but I don't think so, because the fields are completely different and LG doesn't even stand for the same thing (it's Lucky Goldstar for the electronics company, if I'm not mistaken). But anyway, I agree with the carelessness in opening offices in NYC and spending all this money on rebranding, it's not the best way to go when you're coming out of a crisis.
In 2006 Madonna founded a motion picture/TV production company called "Semtex Girls", and soon after that, the company which owned the rights to the trademark Semtex (for its brand of plastic explosive) took legal action to prevent Madonna from using the "Semtex" name. They dropped the suit because they couldn't prove that they had actually suffered loss from her using the name to promote her production company.
So I guess theoretically, LG wouldn't be able to prove they've suffered loss because of Lockhart/Gardner's logo. :)
Anyway, Will's definitely letting his testosterone rush get the best of him in this case.
Yes, I read more info on another site. So I gues it's not a problem. But still it can't be good that the first thing people would think is "cell phone", not "law".
I couldn't agree with you more. Will's new girlfriend is boring and stupid. I'm thinking that she's going to try to go ahead and get pregnant, anyway. Marilyn's pregnancy is somewhat of a mystery, because they haven't revealed who the father of child is. Wouldn't it be funny if it was Owen! However, the fact that Will has been informed of Alicia's feelings towards him, he still has to fight his urge to question it or even act upon it. Will is a very impulsive man and when it comes to Alicia, he can't think clearly. He's fighting it now, but if Veronica Loy, Alicia and Owens mother, starts poking and prodding him and succeeds in pushing Alicia's buttons, as she always does. Alicia will run away from Will so fast that she'll run right into him, again. As we all know, it only takes a kiss. And, the last time Alicia came back for more.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.

ReplyDeleteOnce again, great episode. Loved the scene between Robyn and Kalinda. The Good Wife is undoubtedly the best show on network television! By far.

ReplyDeleteThat and Will's STUPID idea to call Lockhart Gardner LG. What's up with that?! It's HORRIBLE.

I agree, I love adorable Eli.
ReplyDeleteI still don't like Peter though.
Hahahaha, I totally thought about The Good Chair. And I stick to my word: I'd watch it!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, then maybe we need to let the Kings know they should get started on the script? :D
