    I think that the case was pretty on target (I feel like I recall a case like this happening recently in real life?) and I liked the back and forth as usual. However, there are small places here and there where this could turn from good drama to soapy at a moment's notice--Will and Alicia shouldn't be so obviously dumbfounded by each other. They should just be off their game almost as it happened but not as overdone... We're capable of seeing the tension and the influence they have on each other without them looking like complete idiots that have never been in a courtroom before. (please recall just in 5.10 where they both affected each other but in a more nuanced way).


    I really like Melissa George but they've turned Marilyn Garbanza into a joke, and I hope that in the coming weeks with this ethical dilemma coming up, she'll be of use once more. I am getting fed up with the baby shenanigans.


    And Kalinda's girlfriend is so two-faced. She flat out tells O'mara's character about everything going on with Kalinda, and then pulls the whole "please be my friend, I like friends mkay?" bullshit. She needs to do something other than mess around with Kalinda to validate her existence.


    There's too many wild cards on the table (meaning awkward, time-stealing guest actors that are detracting from main characters' development --I WANT TO SEE CARY DO HIS OWN DAMN CASE FOR ONCE).


    Having said all that, I did really enjoy this episode, and I'm dying for next week. The hits just keep coming in this show.

    Awesome episode!
    - The Alicia/Will tension was soooo delicious! The scenes where they're trying to throw each other off were as hilarious as they were sexy!!!
    - I absolutely adore this cast, they make each minute of screentime count. How great was the comic timing when they were arguing in court? :D
    - The case was quite engaging and relevant, as usual. Were they making a reference to Glee though?
    - I was really looking forward to seeing where they take the Marilyn story - it was entertaining, but I hope they don't leave us with 'the film director is the baby daddy' explanation. It's not that coincidences are impossible in real life, but Marylin meeting 3 different men named Peter on the same day is a little too fishy. Besides, the security footage missing from the hotel makes me even more curious about Marylin's agenda.
    - I didn't think Kalinda would agree to investigate who the baby daddy was when Eli told her that he needed to know for Alicia's sake. Kalinda was obviously hurt that Alicia didn't tell her she was leaving LG, and I hope she confronts her about it later on in the season.
    Speaking of Kalinda, what the hell are they trying to do with her love life again??
    It feels like a bad deja vu of the Blake (or even the Nick) story. I've
    had it with the obsessive stalkers involving her in their kinky mind
    games. :/ I hope they don't write her out any time soon, the character
    deserves better. And Archie is a wonderful actress, but she's been
    grossly underused for a couple of seasons already. :( I really wish
    Kalinda would make new friends.
    - Way to go Diane! What a smart lady and a class act! She knew what Will was up to as soon as Damian said that David Lee had a flat tyre. :D
    - Btw, talk about continuity - they brought back the election fraud storyline
    from last season. :) I can't wait to see how that plays out! Peter's
    career has been going rather smoothly for some time, he's long overdue
    for this comeuppance.
    Overall, a great way to kick off the new year! :)

    Very fun episode, have the song stuck in my head. If you want a laugh check out the music video the cast and crew did http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2Hwj15F-AM

    Why wasn't Stockard Chaning listed on the Press Release?

    They just used a part of a previous episode. So she didn't actually film any new scenes for this episode. It's common for actors who appear only in flashbacks not to be listed.

    I feel like I've seen this before. Kalinda's off having sex with people trying to play her, kooky clients attempting to provide comic relief. Even the dramatic will/alicia flashbacks and their unspoken feelings that still exist and won't go away. The only thing that seemed new and interesting was Eli reaction to learning about the leak regarding the rigged election ballots.
    This show is getting stale.
    Will continues to be a lousy businessman. He's running LG with his balls and not his brain. But that's nothing new either.

    Yes, this was totally a riff on Glee and Camp Rock :D. Very well-done too.

    I understood the "friend" line to Kalinda as in "I like my lovers -ie., you, Kalinda- but my friends are forever - ie., Damian". In other words, don't be upset that I'd sell you out to Damian any second.
    I took the old Peter guy to be the real father, a sort of Woody Allen type, and I thought it was hilarious for Marylin AND for Eli who was all ready to dismiss the "affair allegations".
    I don't like Alicia saying "Fix this!" it makes her sound unlike her. Because we know Peter rigged the election (or someone on his team did) and there's no "fixing" it.

    I think the most amazing is seeing Alicia dancing... because Alicia and dancing just seem impossible together :p Alicia is alway super repressed and straight, the only moments she was mellow was with Kalinda and when she was "with" Will.
