Two Courts: Lies, Pushy Mothers, Micro-Expressions and Scientology

I'm still reeling from the events that transpired on yesterday's episodes of The Good Wife. Here are some of my thoughts:

-Kalinda comes out on top! For a minute there Kalinda got very quiet. I mean who could blame her? But in the end, of course, she managed to not only get a $50,000 (!) raise but also pledged her allegiance to team Will. Not that it really matters anymore.

-Diane/Will reconcile: Wow! This completely caught me off guard. Just when you though Lockhart/Gardner was donzo, Will realizes that he is being played, much like Diane was being played. Though I would have loved to see a Diane/Kalinda/Alicia firm, it won't happen anytime soon.
-Alica, of course, would have stayed with Will. Really, in retrospect it makes total sense. I mean she didn't leave her husband who had 'extramarital relations,' so why the hell would she betray what appears to be her closest, and possibly only, friend.
-Even though I find Jackie, Peter's mom, a difficult character to like, I felt bad for her yesterday when Peter told her to leave.
-I liked the court case but thought the whole biased judge storyline was unnecessary. I did, however, like that last scene when the jury member tells Alicia the reason for the guilty verdict. Once again, we were reminded that our heroine isn't always fighting for what's right but ultimately fights for what pays her bills.
-If Cary gets his deal with Diane I will stop watching the show! There's no way he should get more money than Alicia!

Michael J. Fox returns to 'The Good Wife'

I don't know whether it's the fact that The Good Wife is filmed in New York City or maybe it's because the show is critically-acclaimed but they've done a great job attracting the highest caliber of guest stars lately. We already wrote about America Ferrera, star of Ugly Betty, who will be guesting on the show but now word on the street is that Michael J. Fox will be back! Check out the link below to see who else will be guest starring on the show:

Two Courts: Watch Trailer for Tonight's All New Episode

Can't wait for this episode. Looks like Carey might join Diane's firm. Does this mean that Alicia will stay with Will? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Ugly Betty Guest Starring on The Good Wife

Ugly Betty star America Ferrera will be joining TGW for a couple of episodes. According to M&C, she will be playing a graduate student who will mix up things with Eli. Sounds interesting. What could possibly shake up the unflappable Eli?

'Breaking Up' - The Reviews Are In!

Meredith Blake of the LA Times points out something that I've noticed myself: "Why does everyone on this show say 'phone' instead of 'call'?  It's a trifling detail, but it drives me crazy."
Maybe it's a Chicago thing? Other than that Blake wasn't impressed with the B-plot aka Leelee Sobieski and the whole prisoner's dilemma thing but noticed that there seem to be a prevailing contemplative mood throughout the episode.

Ken Tucker over at EW.com liked the episode but also pointed out that it was one of the few episodes that features a fairly passive Alicia. In fact, she hardly did anything after Will and Diane arrived. It was interesting to see her observe Will, obviously thinking about the choice she will have to make soon. We all know by now that Will can be a ruthless lawyer (Alicia is certainly no angel either) but this episode definitely featured a dark, unsympathetic Will, perhaps even surprising Alica who got fairly emotional toward the end of the episode..

'Breaking Up' - What did you think about last night's episode?

After a whole month without any new TGW episodes, the show finally returned last night with one of the best episodes so far this season! After a lot of hush-hush talk about Diane starting a new firm, everything is now out in the open and Alicia will now have to decide, whether to go with Diane or stay loyal to Will. I personally would like to see her join Diane, mainly because it would provide the show with a interesting new dynamic and it would be interesting to see how it would affect Will and Alicia's personal relationship.
However, my favorite part about yesterday's episode was the return of Alica's brother, Owen. He seems to be the only character on the show who can reliably pierce Alicia's bullet-proof facade. Hopefully, he'll stick around for a couple of weeks.
The case itself was interesting too. The prisoner's dilemma has been featured on pretty much every cop show but I liked the final twist with the pregnancy and his confession. 
Thoughts?

TGW Cast at Paley Center in NYC

Check out this cool interview with the cast of the Good Wife that I found on YouTube. Judging from the comments made by cast members it was probably filmed last spring before many of the current events unraveled by it is interesting nonetheless, especially seeing how the cast interacts in real life.
