October Eleventh 2015’s Episode

I’m not entirely sure how to begin this blog post at the moment. So I’ll just ramble as usual about rambling things that I’m rambling about. Since I tend to talk about sports delays in this blog of mine, I might as well mention doubleheaders, something that happens during football season. Now during the fall part of the schedule, there are doubleheaders with football that tend to create at the very least, a 30 minute delay. This is planned in advance. You can tell by the epg on your remote. They know that there is no way of the game ending at 6 so they plan a delay. That means that if the game ends sooner than 6:30, they will air stuff to make the delay fit exactly so that people using DVR and the like will actually see their whole show as they intended to. But, if the game lasts beyond 6:30, they will have to delay the show even longer than planned. That is how shows have ending up airing in the time slot of a different show, such as this airing in what is now CSI: Cyber’s time slot.

To make a long story short, I’ve put this episode on VHS and have already seen everything that aired from it from 9 onward. Depending on if Quantico comes in and if I do create that blog about CSI: Cyber, I might not always do something like this in this blog of mine. I could move it to that other potential blog. For now, I’m keeping things like that in this blog, even if it is confusing for me. At least I will see the whole episode over time.

Today’s episode is brought to you by 33 minute delay. Act one has Alicia talking to a client in bond court that was given to her by that one new female character. He admits to doing the case, it seems. Eli and Ruth continue to butt heads. I wonder if they hired Margo Mardindale because they had cancelled her previous show. It was a CBS show so it makes sense that they would want to keep her around. Makes you glad that she didn’t bash anyone after The Millers was cancelled. Alicia’s client is crazy. I wonder how this fits in with the part of the episode I’ve already seen.

This is the episode that introduces Howard and I talk about him a lot in future episodes. Only I couldn’t remember his name a lot so don’t be surprised if I just call him that old guy. Also, Jason appears now and I thought that he had previously appeared in the show, but I guess that I was wrong about that. Don’t be surprised if you see posts in the future about how I thought he had previously worked for Alicia as a campaign manager. Doesn’t he look like that at least? Meanwhile, it turns out that the stolen photos are of the client naked and he wants to get rid of them. What a long paragraph. I’m going to split it up. In case you are confused by things that I’m writing, I change things a lot. I see things out of order sometimes and that’s why things can be confusing for me and whoever might be reading this. They are probably wondering why I didn’t post this episode sooner.

Act two has Diane and Cary talking about Howard and his problems. Also, I’m reading through what I’ve written about the rest of this episode and things will make more sense, although don’t be confused by me being confused about things in the future. Anyways, Alicia thinks that there is something wrong with the judge. Ruth is wondering about Eli’s mention of the movie It Follows. Howard is his weird, funny self. There is problems with Amanda, the PI Alicia hired. Meanwhile, the case continues as my past self starts watching and writing about the episode.

It is this point around the 9:00 mark that I start watching the episode. Eli is talking to Alicia about her election scandal. He has an idea that sounds bad to her. Of course, his crazy plan makes complete sense to himself. Is it something that she will try? Will it work? Alicia and other lawyers talk about the case from earlier that I haven’t seen just yet. But I’ll catch up. I need to remember the name of the new character. Also, Quantico isn’t coming in so I won’t be able to watch it, which actually works perfectly with my plans for today.

The next act has Alicia apologizing to the person that is probably the reason that she is not state’s attorney. She is told to vote no on the next vote. She fires a person relating to her law firm. I’ll probably understand more about that later. The case at hand related to copyright. They have to obey Maine law which doesn’t help them in the case.

The next act has the topic of child pornography brought up for some odd reason. There are some sort of stomach problems that are complicating the case. Weird. A man is strange in front of women. Diane gets mad at Cary for this, blaming him for this man showing up. Why are they showing erotic paintings on this show? And, more importantly, how do network standards allow them to air this? Maybe there’s a reason that this aired on the day of a doubleheader when they knew a tape delay would happen. Although, I don’t know yet what aired at the earlier part of this episode. I should really stop saying that as you are going to read this whole thing the way it was meant to be seen and not out of order like I’m watching it. You’ll read this after the part that aired earlier. So why am I doing this?

The next act Alicia talks to her (former?) campaign manager. She then talks to her daughter who wants to get paid. Finally, they are making the daughter look good by giving her a fun job. I didn’t like her portrayal before. They tend to not make Christians look good in this show which can be kind of offensive. It looks like the case is getting resolved in a good way. It looks like Peter’s new campaign manager might be working with his old campaign manager. Also, Alicia gets a deal or offer of some sort from this man who used to be her lover.

On the next Good Wife (which I might have already blogged about), Alicia thinks that she’s being set up. She’s also doing a cooking show with her mother. As usual, vague promo is vague- ding! For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

October Fourth 2015’s Episode

I’ll tell you when the important part of this blog begins in the event that this blog post rambles for far too much. CBS airs sports right before primetime is to start on Sundays at 6 Central. If the sports game doesn’t end before 6, then there will be a delay before the programming starts. When I started a previous blog about a different show (Madam Secretary) that airs right before this show, I thought to myself that there would be certain criteria that could be met that would cause me to create a blog about this show. That same criteria applies to possibly creating a blog about CSI: Cyber, since it now airs after this show.

Why would I do that? Well, sometimes the sports delays are weird and different games air on different CBS affiliates. That could cause either two different time delays or no time delay for one affiliate while a different affiliate does air on delay. I can only speak for two different affiliates here and know that if one of them isn’t on delay, I can watch shows as I normally do. There are also cases where the delay is so long that the show that airs at 9 is preempted entirely as it would start at an airtime of over an hour later than it should air at. If either of these situations are met, when the show airs normally on both of my affiliates, I will start a new blog about that show. In fact, I’d probably do one about the whole CSI franchise and wind up collecting the DVDs of other shows that have ended to blog about them at some point. I’d also have to get Without a Trace on DVD, but none of the other shows connected with CSI as I have either not seen them or not cared for them. I’ll also make sure to catch up this blog and my blog about Madam Secretary to more current episodes so that it can be more linked with these shows.

You know, my very first blog contained an introduction to the blog itself. Every blog I created afterwards has just jumped right into the show after the most recent episode where I started the blog at. My Survivor blog started after an episode I thought was so great, I had to do a blog about Survivor. It has become my most predominate blog and I normally update it every Wednesday (although the time I post it changes at times) or at least once a week even when Survivor isn’t on the air. Meanwhile, my OCD helped create a blog about Madam Secretary and this blog too. Those also started without an introduction. Unfortunately, I do not update this blog as much as I should. I mean, I posted the episode that aired on Easter in June and I still have the rest of the most recent season to post about before I start with this one.

I had a dream where I created or otherwise had a blog about the TV show Bob’s Burgers. I don’t know if I’ll create that blog or not. I might. I might not. At first, only having two blogs made sense. In fact, I’ll still have only one blog were it not for what I considered to be one of the greatest Survivor episodes of all time. Then, I had a dream where I had a Madam Secretary blog, so I added one of those. After that show aired at an hour long delay (which made it air during the timeslot of this show), I created this blog once it aired at a normal time again.

Now I have a habit of rambling in my blog posts. I’m sure that you know that. One of the habits that I’ve had in a different blog was that I would post what movies that I was watching as I tried to watch a specific one. An OCD habit of mine has me having a list of movies to watch (currently two in this case) and I roll for one of the choices. There’s six choices on each list, where the alphabetically first choice is number 1 and there are no repeating movies of the same letter on a single list. Now I won’t tell you about all the choices on the list. For my birthday over the summer, an aunt and uncle of mine, gave me various movies for my birthday. I have since watch am hour long Nature (PBS) special and the movie Easy A. I have since added A Time to Kill to a list. I have decided that I will update you on what of their movies I will add to the list and watch.

Now, I’ve added the movie Night at the Museum to the list. After I watch it, it will remain on the list so I can watch the two commentaries that go along with it. I have seen the movie once so far. I didn’t release how much its first sequel was better than it was at first. Also, I’ve added Bend it like Beckham to the list as well. I end up watching a Time to Kill and replaced it on the list. Then I added Catch Me if You Can to the list. I watched the first of two commentaries for Night at the Museum.

I added Liar Liar to the list and ended up watching it shortly thereafter. It stays on the list so I can listen to one of the commentaries later. I listen to the other commentary for Night at the Museum and replace it with The Princess Bride. Remember that I’m only telling you about the movies that my aunt and uncle gave me and not any others that I’m watching. I’ll tell you when I’m done with all of them. I add the movie Raising Arizona to the list. I watched The Princess Bride and replaced it with Northanger Abbey. I add the movie Absolute Power to the list. I watched Raising Arizona and replaced it with Rush Hour. Those are all the updates regarding movies for this blog post. It looks like shows are running on time on CBS tonight so I’ll get to the point of this blog post.

THE IMPORTANT PART OF THIS BLOG POST BEGINS NOW! Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with police chasing a man. Well, there are many police officers chasing different men. It possibly relates to a plot of this episode. Now, Alicia is unable to find work since the scandal of her possibly rigging an election (which we know is not true as others rigged the election for someone else) and is mostly hated by the general public nowadays. She was trying to work as a bar attorney, but that didn’t end up happening. We learn that she declined partnering with Louis Canning, which seems like a wise idea, although it could have helped him become a cast member of this show, something that isn’t going to happen since they made some other unknown person a cast member. She also gets a client regarding a lack of a will with her mother. Eli thinks that there’s a perceived injustice done to him by Peter so he turns against him.

Act two has more of Alicia’s struggles being a bar attorney for the day. What is that anyways? We learn more of this case where she is facing off against Diane. Doesn’t that happen a bit too often? They were friends then enemies then friends again then enemies again. Were they always just frenemies? Peter also explains why he needs a new campaign manager.

Act three makes me think that it is bond attorney and not bar attorney. Bond attorney makes more sense, although I’m not as familiar with it as I’d want to be. Obviously, I wouldn’t be as confused about these things if there were more explanation with them. Now Eli wants to work with Alicia and that will hopefully get him out of the slump that he is in this episode. A note in a roomba vacuum cleaner has the word Selena who is the housekeeper at the place where the dead person’s belongings are. This episode will probably inspire me to once again make a will. Something like that does need updated every once in a while. I haven’t even made one this year yet.

Act four has Alicia held up at bond court. The black woman whose name I can’t remember helps Alicia with her case regarding the inheritance. It’s possible that she’s the new cast member. An Illinois law prevents the housekeeper from getting the painting so it goes to her daughter, I’m guessing.

Act five gives us a quick recap on everything. There’s not much for me to say about it. We might see more of the black lawyer from this episode, but I’m not sure yet if we will. Louis Canning was somehow responsible for the case in this episode winding up in Alicia’s hands. She might work with him again in the future. We’ll see if that happens or not.

On the next Good Wife, the promo for the episode is vague as usual. We’ll see more of Mamier Gummer by the looks of it. I hope that I spelt her name right. We’ll see more of Margo Martindale’s character by the looks of it. And I’m not sure what else there is to say. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

May Tenth 2015’s Episode

Okay, let’s do a bunch of random crap in my introduction to the blog. You may notice that this blog post regarding the season finale of the Good Wife is with the old VHS episodes. Why is that? Mother’s Day. That’s why. I missed all the other shows that week and only saw the Good Wife, not recording anything else. So I didn’t get to see the season finale of Once Upon a Time which I may have to give up due to inconvenience. The Last Man on Earth ended its season already so I didn’t have to worry about that. No 60 Minutes, Bob’s Burgers, A. D., The Simpsons, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Family Guy, American Odyssey, or Battle Creek. Speaking of Battle Creek, I will not be doing a blog about Battle Creek as the criteria I would have used to create that blog never happened. It was a good show, although not as good as I would have wanted. But now it is cancelled after a strange (but not bad) finale. But it looks like the Good Wife survives until the next season. That’s good news. Also, you will not see the font comic sans ms in this blog post as I have not seen any of the episode before I start watching it.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. The first act starts confusingly with a voice message for Alicia making her think that this person was being arrested. I think that he was being kidnapped, but we don’t know for sure yet.

The second act has people finding out that Louis Canning’s wife is now working at Alicia’s firm. Peter Florick is also running for either president or vice-president. There are more things that people wonder about Alicia’s possible client. They also try to find Kalinda and she shows up.

The third act has more confusing things happening. Why does this show have to be so confusing? Alicia is trying to make sense of the situation with her client. She also doesn’t want a memoir about her to be written. There’s also a scene of her talking to Kalinda. I do wonder how they are getting rid of Kalinda exactly. I guess that she is just leaving after the strange events that are happening.

The fourth act has Louis Canning reacting to his wife apparently getting fired from Alicia’s firm. The client talks more about what happened while he was possibly illegally detained. I do wonder if some of this is a set-up for next season. I just hope that they don’t have terrible story arcs like they did this season. The race for state’s attorney made nothing good on this show. Alicia burns a letter from Kalinda in front of Lester. When Lester is here, then you know things are inconceivable.

The fifth act has more of the end of Kalinda’s story on this show. Alicia is also talking to the person who ended up replacing Will about a possible romance between the two of them. They didn’t do any romance, but Alicia seems to regret that decision. At the end of the episode, Louis Canning shows up wanting to partner with Alicia. I guess that they will end this season with the same sort of thing that they ended the last season with. I just hope that the question isn’t ignored in the next season premiere until the very end of that episode. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

April Twelve 2015’s Episode

Well, here we come to another late post of mine. There could be a tendency for me to do this a lot, although I don’t know yet whether we will or not. I don’t know whether or not this will become a habit. I just know that as long as sports delays cause this show (and others on CBS on Sundays) to run late, I more than likely will put the show on VHS which means that it could be a while before I am able to watch it. If you see a change of font, that was when I could start watching the rest of the episode on VHS and I blogged about that before I saw the whole thing, including the ending again. I don’t know if I would ever do a podcast about this show or not, but if I did, then I would make sure to run a timer based on the delay the episode aired at. Sometimes, they even plan delays, which is why I created this blog in the first place.

Today’s episode is brought to you by 16 minute delay. We get a recap of the metadata that Kalinda faked. We then get to a voting scandal. Alicia is watching the news about it. Diane learns about the metadata problem. She goes straight to Kalinda about it. There was a hacking device at one of the voting precincts. Alicia also catches her daughter watching a dramatization of her hacked emails.

In the second act, we get to a hearing about the election. We also go more into the metadata thing. It’s hard to tell what’s happening in this episode as usual. You see, Alicia thinks that her husband might have had something to do with this, but it seems that something else might have happened.

In the third act, we get to recorded evidence that makes it seem like Alicia’s opponent was benefitting from election fraud. We also return to the metadata case and the madness that goes along with it. Alicia’s sort of lawyer goes after Peter in the voting case.

In the fourth act, there is more on the election that Peter rigged. You know, this is one of those things that should be more important than it is in the show. The hacking devices in various voting precincts is discussed.

It is this point around the 9:00 mark that I start watching the episode. Remember that the font changed because I saw this part sooner than the rest of the episode. Eli insists on doing a recount of the election. Somebody wants Alicia to step down from her elected role as state’s attorney. She’s not sure what exactly happened.

In the next act, Peter thinks that they should fight against the recount of the election. Having originally missed the beginning of this episode, I’m of course confused by the ending at the moment. Cary also addresses Kalinda about the drama with her metadata change. It seems that Alicia must be removed from her elected job as district attorney. I don’t know who this person is yet without the beginning of the episode. It looks like she won’t get the job she wanted after all. They sure have stumbled their way around this story arc this season.

On the next Good Wife, it looks like Alicia won’t be becoming state’s attorney after all. She is tearful and upset at the whole situation. But that’s a different blog post, one you might have already seen, depending on the order things are posted at. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

November Twenty-Third 2014’s Episode

Due to CBS’s tendency to have sports games that delay their programming on Sunday nights, I have this old episode recorded on VHS. Well, I was finally able to watch it on 3-8-2015. Hopefully, they’ll be no other ones to record for a while, but that could wind up happening… Anyways, this is the first in an installment of old VHS episodes I need to get caught up on. Don’t worry: I’ll get to the season finale at the end of this. You see, for me, the rest of the season (and this episode from before the beginning of my blog posts but unseen until I had started this blog, if that makes sense) is on VHS tapes for me to watch until I start blogging about the next Good Wife season. So enjoy these next three posts before the next season starts.

We start with an empty courtroom that Cary looks at. This is before his big trial. I know a lot of what’s going to happen, but not much. I was actually supposed to watch the last forty minutes (since this episode aired at a forty minute delay, in my region at least), but that didn’t end up happening. If you ever see the font change to this during a post than that will mean that I’ve already seen part of the episode an am blogging about the first part of it later. We’ll see how often that winds up happening. Why it will happen will be explained in a later post should it ever happen. Anyways, Diane and Alicia talk about Cary’s options heading into the trial. We also get to Peter’s strange mother again. Alicia wrote a joke note that contained a threat that wound up being delivered to Grace’s teacher and is considered a threat. Also, the judge is preoccupied with his own personal life to give any real credit to the trial at hand, in the first act of the episode at least. Since this episode is before Thanksgiving, there are also Christmas commercials for me to add to a list that I’ll post in www.adamdeckertv.blogspot.com (my TV blog) as soon as I can finish counting them, which will be fairly soon as I’m getting caught up on VHS tapes at the moment.

In the second act, the prosecutor might be in cahoots with someone, but I can’t tell who. We also go more into the note that seems to be hurting Alicia’s campaign. As usual, it is hard to tell exactly what is happening for sure.

In the third act, Kalinda was called to the stand by the prosecutor in the case. There is also something going on with juror eleven. He has hearing problems sometimes which affect the trial. The scene before he is dismissed from the jury is a bit humorous, although not as much as they were going for.

In the fourth act, we go more to the threatening note which was not found as funny by Eli as she was trying to understand. They seem to be setting up Alicia with the new character, which I think is her campaign manager. The main problem with having a love interest for Alicia is that she’s married and any other relationship would be an affair. We also have Kalinda meeting the black kid that I saw in future episodes. (Sorry if calling him a black kid is considered racist. I don’t think it is. I’m not racist, but I find it hard to remember certain names especially when they don’t mention what those names are a lot so I mention something easily identifiable about them. Plus, a lot of black comics make fun of white people a lot, which they don’t get in trouble for stereotyping us. I’m white, by the way. And black people are normally right when they complain about us.)

In the fifth act, a witness for the defense doesn’t do what the defense wants him to do. The scene gets very emotional for Cary as he doesn’t really know what to do regarding the charge he’s under. The note that Alicia wrote was resolved in a possibly illegal way. In the end, regarding Cary, he is pretty much forced to take the plea deal as he is left with no other options at the moment. But things will actually turn out well for him in the future. Not much else to say outside of this paragraph, so I might as well end things here. This is Adam Decker, signing off.

May Third 2015’s Episode

This blog is tied into another blog of mine about Madam Secretary. That show is airing its season finale, but the Good Wife still has more episodes to air. This could mean that you’ll see even less of the blog than you should. This could put the two blogs out of whack, unless this show gets cancelled. That is within the realm of possibility as this show doesn’t get the ratings it needs to. Well, it gets good enough ratings, but not as good as one would like.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We start with Alicia having to thank people for donating to her campaign. One of the people she was planning on thanking wasn’t actually a donor. He turned out to be a former client seeking help with a case. I don’t remember if he has actually appeared in the show before. Anyways, it turns out that Alicia is probably going to help with his case.

The second act has Alicia researching the old case on cassette tapes. That was her method of recording. It seems like this is supposed to be a link to the first season of this show, but why didn’t she have better methods of recording? You’d think that she would have, but maybe not. They still have not addressed what might have happened with Kalinda just yet. She appears during flashbacks helping with the case. There might be a hole in the case that they are trying to address. Is there a hole? Will they be able to fix the hole? What could prevent the case from succeeding?

The third act has the Kalinda explanation as pretty much being that she is gone in some way. Maybe she’s dead or she just left for somewhere else. Alicia continues to get Cary’s help with the case. It seems that there might be more than one hole in it. A tape that could have helped no longer has what it needs to on it. The client was a drug dealer at one point. Not sure how to summarize what’s going on. I should work on fixing that problem of mine.

The fourth act has more of the case happening. How will they solve cases without Kalinda? I don’t know for sure how that will work. There could always end up being a new person who will do that. Anyways, they keep trying to figure out how to prove that their client was innocent.

The fifth act has Alicia saying where she got the information from. Well, she might have lied about it, but it gets the case dismissed. She wants to start her own firm and that could be where we go with the next season if there is one. She asks another lawyer for help. This show has a way of making people work together and then against each other. That happens a lot it seems.

On the next Good Wife, there is a usually vague promo as usual. I’m not sure why they even air promos at all if they say absolutely nothing about what the upcoming episode will be about. Anyways, the season finale is the next episode. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

April Twenty-Sixth 2015’s Episode

I missed a lot of the last episode that aired before this due to tape delay. I have seen the ending of it and will watch the rest of the episode (including the ending that I’ve already seen) later. I put it on VHS due to the Master’s Tournament. It had a winner before 6, when it was supposed to end, but they decided to air footage of the winner walking through a crowd, people talking about the game, and the winner getting some stupid coat before they started the next program, which put everything on delay. The good news is that I’m pretty sure that the Masters is the last time that there’s a potential sports delay on CBS until football season starts. Well, there could be some things during the summer, but that shouldn’t matter when it comes to this show being aired.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with Alicia giving a speech about stepping down as State’s Attorney. She doesn’t know what to do. Diane has to deal with a case that’s hard to describe. Alicia is told by Diane and Cary that she would be welcomed back to her old firm. However, she gets a phone call which seems to point in a different direction.

The second act has Alicia contemplating what to do. She seems to be playing Diane while Diane is playing her. She considers starting a new firm (again) or at least telling people that’s what she could be doing. Kalinda uses a flashdrive to steal something from a computer, but she has to leave quickly and her presence on the computer was probably noticed.

The third act has someone else in trouble for the flashdrive use. Kalinda is using this to get out of her metadata situation it seems. Um, she realizes that burying herself in more problems isn’t going to work to solve the first problem, right? Maybe this is why she is probably leaving after this season. But that’s only in the event that there is a next season. Conspiracy theorists would argue that this show has to stay on the air to support Democrats in the 2016 election. How far away is the election? I don’t think that they are right about that. Anyways, Alicia tries her best to get her clients back while the grandma accused of doing drugs is a complicated case that they are doing.

The fourth act delves more into Kalinda. I do wonder if they are making her seem possibly suicidal. That doesn’t sound good. But she’s depressed, it seems, as she’s trying to straighten things out. Meanwhile, Alicia learns more about what’s happening between her and Diane leading to them talking it out with each other. Also, there was a funny scene where the grandmother tried to prove that she was a drug addict. She couldn’t prove it, but it was fun watching her try.

The fifth act has the whole Diane/Alicia fight to be revealed as misunderstanding of sorts. I’m not really sure what happened. Meanwhile, there is an ambiguous story arc with Kalinda this episode. The case against the grandmother only results in probation as there was less than the legal limit to make it a felony. I don’t understand what the difference is that makes some drug use misdemeanors and the other set felonies. Of course, if you don’t do drugs, then you won’t have a problem with that.

On the next Good Wife, Alicia is not taken out of the fight due to her having to withdraw from state’s attorney. Kalinda is not mentioned in the first promo so it is hard to know what to make of that. I guess that I’ll have to wait for the next episode to see what happens. The promo was very vague. For now, this is Adam Decker signing off.

April Fifth 2015’s Episode

Want to hear an interesting fact about April fifth? Well, since you can’t answer that question, I’ll tell you anyways. On April 5^th, 1841, the United States of America had no president. I’m a nerd on presidential history, so I memorized this fact. William Henry Harrison, who was the president, died the day before. John Tyler, the vice-president, did not take the oath of office, and thus did not become president until the day afterwards. Thus, there was no president on April 5^th that year. Pretty interesting, right? Since this show deals with politics, I thought that I would tell you that.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We start with an interview with Alicia that her campaign is running. This may not be as good as the political ads from earlier this season (a festive courthouse shooting!), but they seem pretty good this time as well. Once again, today’s episode comes with distractions. Kaldina is worried about the evidence that she falsified. Diane does a huge fight regarding gay marriage. What’s with all the news people supporting it? I mean, if one is against gay marriage, suddenly they are a villain. And yet, being gay is still considered controversial. What up with that?

The second act has more of the hacked emails of Alicia. This could be bad for her as it revealed her affair with Will. Also, it is hard to know what to think of the gay rights stuff in this episode. I just know that the bible says nothing about gays automatically going to hell. It only says that unbelievers go to hell. But I should probably keep quiet about my opinions on the whole gay thing as I don’t want to offend anyone. Or maybe I don’t care. If I did, this blog would probably be updated closer to the actual episode airing. But there’s a reason why I don’t keep it too updated.

The third act has Diane realizing that the case she is helping with may be more important than she thinks it is. It was mentioned on NPR’s All Things Considered. (Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah). Kalinda is told not to tell anyone about the metadata she tampered with. Alicia admits to some people that she did have an affair with Will, which is what her emails strongly suggest happened.

The fourth act has Alicia saying that the hacked emails were just embarrassing flirtations. Peter mentions interviews in order to win a conversation, but it’s unknown if he could have actually seen the interviews, or if he knew what they were going to say in the interview and was mentioning something that he couldn’t have seen.

The fifth act has everything wrapped up, I think. Well, the last scene didn’t wrap much up, but that was intentional. The person who Diane was talking to, basically said that he likes politicians who stick by their beliefs instead of just going with whatever will get them elected. There also may have been crooked voting machines that helped get Alicia elected.

On the next Good Wife, things start to unravel all at once for Alicia and Diane. Were voting machines acting bad? Will the false metadata get Diane disbarred? Are they setting up the metadata thing as a way to write out Kalinda from the show? All of these questions could be ignored as usual on the next Good Wife episode!

March Twenty-Ninth 2015’s Episode

Okay, quick summary of my life: I was very busy on the day this episode aired so I missed some of this episode, even though it is airing at a 17 minute delay. Congrats to whoever won that basketball game that ran 17 minutes long. It was part of the NCAA tournament. Anyways, to the episode.

Let’s do a quick sum-up of what happened at the beginning. A creepy old guy doesn’t like Alicia anymore although he helped get her elected. People are stealing movies from the internet with the help of friendly costumer service. That badass cool black guy doesn’t like the area and wants to leave. This could be how they get rid of Kalinda, provided that there is a next season of this show. If there is, it’s already revealed that Kalinda will be leaving. If there isn’t, then everyone has to find new work. This might be the lowest rated of the bubble shows. But, of the four bubble shows on this network, it seems likely that only one will get cancelled. Plus, conspiracy theorists demand that this be on during the upcoming election year next TV season.

The third act has more things falling apart for the people in question at Alicia’s firm. All hell broke loose after Alicia got elected state’s attorney. People are at each other’s throats, sometimes literally. There are also serious problems with emails.

The fourth act has more wondering about emails that are missing. Geez, people think that Elizabeth McCord is like Hilary Clinton but Alicia Florrick seems more worthy of that title. Is it a coincidence that this is so similar to the Hilary Clinton email nontroversy? I mean, that was pretty recent to the news. We then get back to Kalinda doing what she does best: solving the case at the last minute. While I have mixed feelings to the character in general (she’s always doing weird things, it seems), I do wonder how they would solve cases at the last minute without Kalinda. Maybe they’d have to be better at the whole things. The episode ends and I missed a lot of this confusing show. Oh well. I guess this will just be a terrible blog post that I have this time.

On the next Good Wife, the hacked emails of Alicia’s wind up causing her a bunch of trouble. What else would it do? You do have to wonder how they’d treat affairs of hers compared to that of her husband. How is it different in real life? I don’t know because it seems that only men get caught having affairs. But is that a fair assessment? I don’t know. Anyways, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

March Twenty-Second 2015’s Episode

I should have had this recorded on VHS. But it wound up on my laptop instead. I’ve decided that it will be with the regularly scheduled blog posts instead of the later VHS episodes. You’ll notice old VHS episodes posted a lot later than some other episodes. I never know when to update any of these blogs of mine, unless they are about Survivor. That one always has a clear time to update. Also, I still don’t know if I’ll create a blog about Battle Creek or not. That show is doing much worse in the ratings than this show is. This show is always on the bubble but has not yet been canceled. I have the feeling that another network would be likely to pick up this show if CBS cancelled it. But I’ve been wrong before and know with absolute certainty that I will continue to be wrong about other things from time to time. I just hope that it moves to another show on network television as I would not be able to watch this show on a network that I’d have to pay to watch. Don’t expect a bubble show to stay around forever. Just be grateful for whenever it does. Anyways, the rest of CBS midseason besides Battle Creek is actually doing quite well. Plus, you may notice a scheduling gap on Thursdays that they have. They could fill it with something, or it could stay until after May. I’m nerdy about television, so sorry if that ever comes out sometimes.

Today’s episode is brought to you by 35 minute delay. I’m surprised that it wasn’t accounted for in the epg because I know that March Madness would more than likely delay the start of the game. Guess that it wasn’t the same rule as football doubleheaders have. Sorry to anyone who missed the last 35 minutes of the show. DVR can always cause problems on Sundays on CBS. But you either already knew that or it doesn’t actually matter to you. We begin on Election Day. Alicia Florick prepares to vote. Diane Lockhart is stuck at some Republican event with her husband. People are concerned that Peter talking about how his wife has the election in the bag means that people won’t actually vote. She also has an acceptance speech written already, but not a concession speech. Honestly, if I ever ran for office, which I probably wouldn’t, I’d write both speeches before the election.

The second act has Alicia playing Halo with someone from her staff. I’ve never actually played Halo, although I don’t really like shooter games that much. Alicia is convinced that her husband doesn’t want her to win the election. Kalinda has problems of her own escorting that kid to school. I forget why she is doing this. Was that ever really explained? The problem might have been resolved, but it seems to create its own set of problems. Meanwhile, people are wondering how to best handle the election at hand. To me, they normally seem worried about things that aren’t important. Well, maybe they are important in some way. But how? Also, does it concern anyone that the Halo microphones might have picked up the plans regarding robo calls?

The third act has Diane having a discussion regarding abortion. I do not support abortion, but I don’t like the fact that supports of abortions are labeled as baby killers. I mean, they only support the idea, right? They aren’t actually performing them or getting them, are they? Maybe it’s just a way of supporting my own political beliefs. There are things that one side gets right that the same side gets wrong about other things. Why is a fetus not considered human life? The only thing that can create human life is that of a fetus. Maybe it is just poorly defined what life is. Anyways, there’s more serious threats regarding the election and whether or not Alicia can win it.

The fourth act has Diane unable to eat something that she herself killed. Alicia continues to play Halo a lot. They must have a good product placement deal with them. Or they want us to show a different side of Alicia. Peter makes an unannounced speech that affects traffic in the area, preventing a lot of people from getting to the polls. The election is soon over and they’ll tell us who won after a commercial break. Of course, that’s where a real commercial break is put.

The fifth act tells us basically that Alicia won the election. Her campaign manager doesn’t really know what to do about his potential job in California (and his feelings for Alicia). Alicia wants her opponent in the election to work for her, probably just to keep him out of the way of any other political things that he could do.

On the next Good Wife, clients at Alicia’s firm get upset about her election, it seems. Considering how the editors frequently mislead us in their ads, then I don’t know what to make of things as usual. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

March Fifteenth 2015’s Episode

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. You may not know this about me, but I am an Illinois citizen. So I may point out stuff this show does wrong about Illinois. I’ll also post if they get stuff right too. I get annoyed that they mix reality and fiction on this show, but I like this show a lot so I won’t complain about it that often.

We begin with some weird things happening with a computer. Not really sure what’s happening there, but I probably will pretty soon. I am keeping this episode for my mother to see as she hasn’t yet watched it. I really hope that she can get caught up on a bunch of stuff so we’ll see what happens.

The first act brings us a faulty gun that injured someone. The gun was made by a 3D printer and the manufacturer who designed the gun is being sued. Alicia’s campaign has yet another problem regarding her opponent this time. Questions regarding who should actually be sued are part of the trial. There are problems with Louis Canning as well.

The second act explains that the person who printed the gun made some design tweaks to it that may have contributed to the failure that happened to it. Eli is once again upset over probably nothing. He does that a lot. I’m not sure why. I guess it is just his character.

The third act has a test of a replica of the gun that caused the problems it did. It is believed by a certain man that the printer was actually at fault and they should be suing the designer of that instead. This leads him to getting subpoenaed by Diane.

The fourth act doesn’t seem to explain much about the lawsuit. Kalinda thinks that the temperature at which one does 3D printing might affect things about it. Such a strange episode. Alicia doesn’t know how best to handle the situations regarding her campaign and what she does infuriates Eli.

The fifth act has the conclusion of the lawsuit. They decide to drop it for a settlement. Rumors that Alicia is supporting Hamas are bad, but that seems to be well resolved. It was hard to make sense of the subplot with Louis Canning. Alicia and her campaign manager finally hook up.

On the next Good Wife, Alicia thinks that her husband might be sabotaging her campaign. Will she actually win the race for state’s attorney? I don’t know what the writers have in store, but I can’t wait to find out. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

March Eighth 2015’s Episode

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. Don’t expect delays to be over for the season, but they might be. www.adamdeckersurvivor.blogspot.com is another sponsor of this particular post of mine because I am promoting my other blogs in certain blogs of mine. Sorry if posts in this blog are sporadic and come much later than when the episode airs. I just know that I won’t be updating this blog if I updated any other blog of mine on the same date. I’m trying to tie this in with other blogs of mine, but we’ll see if that ends up happening or not.

The first act brings us many problems. There’s a recap to remind us of the problems with Michael J Fox’s character on the show. Alicia is spending a lot of time in her mind wondering about various things. She’s wondering about her candidacy and the case at hand. As usual and expected, it is hard to follow and understand.

The second act has even more confusion. Louis Canning (Michael J Fox’s character) has a big enough trial against Alicia that she isn’t focused on one thing at once. Most of the episode is her simply imagining certain situations that could unfold. And she likes to lie about her possible cold. She also thinks about sex a lot for some odd reason.

The third act has more of Alicia’s sexual fantasies with her campaign manager. I guess that he’s supposed to be the new Will or something like that. But wouldn’t that be a conflict of interest? How many problems can one get into on this show and have no repercussions whatsoever? Peter’s voter fraud has yet to come back to haunt him. They completely ignored that Kalinda killed her husband. How can you kill someone and never hear anything about it ever again? Anyways, I should have taken shots every time Alicia told someone something along the lines of “my voice isn’t as bad as you think that it is.” How can it just be laryngitis? That sounds pretty bad. It’s like all those Grimm episodes where I should have taken shots when a Wesson told Nick that he got his powers back. (Sorry if that’s a spoiler to any Grimm fans.) Alicia also gets confused by a text that Grace gets that shows up on Alicia’s phone. I too have gotten group texts on my mere flip phone. Anyways, Alicia thinks a lot about Will and Louis Canning is possibly in the hospital.

Anyways, if I’m not rambling too much, I need to get back to the show to talk about its fourth act. One of the things that I don’t like about this show is how they handle addressing religion like Christianity. You never seem to expect much from mainstream Hollywood and their ways. The Book of Daniel, for instance, was something that they thought they were getting right, but it ending up bombing pretty bad and for very good reason. (Of course, I’ve never actually seen that show to know if it really is as bad as some people say. Sometimes, I find out for myself about these things. Other times, I just take people’s words for it. One of the things I remember being curious about was the monologue that Martin Lawrence did that got him banned from SNL. When I googled it, the first link I found had the transcript of it. To me, it didn’t seem bad enough to get him banned or even bad at all.) Well, if I’m not going off into strange tangents about something that I shouldn’t be taking too serious, it turns out that Louis Canning really is in the hospital. A lot of this episode is pretty funny actually.

The fifth act seems to resolve stuff for this episode. Alicia has wondered about how best to handle an upcoming interview of hers. Most of this episode is stuff in her head. I think about a lot of different things too. Maybe my thoughts aren’t as strange and maybe they are. Although, for many reasons, I wouldn’t tell you what most of those thoughts are.

On the next Good Wife episode, it will seem to focus mostly on Alicia’s race for state’s attorney and her romantic subplot. Not sure what else to say so this is Adam Decker, signing off of another blog post of mine. Hope that you liked it.

March First 2015’s Episode

Hello. My name is Adam Decker. You may know me from other blogs. Then again, you may not. I have decided to start a blog about the TV show: The Good Wife. Sorry for anybody who was expecting this blog to be about an actual wife of mine. I, unfortunately, have never been in a serious relationship. Maybe I will someday. I would love to get married someday. And I really want her to be a good person. I don’t know why I’d be with someone else. But, for now, I will blog about the TV show The Good Wife and other things as covered in other blogs of mine.

Now I’m not sure how long this show will last. This show seems to always be in danger of cancellation. Now you might be wonder, Adam, aren’t all shows always in danger of cancellation? The answer is no. Most shows get good enough ratings that under normal circumstances, they would not be cancelled. But this show is always on the bubble and, as of the writing of this blog post, has not been cancelled yet. It will end at some point, but we don’t have anything to worry about at the moment. Well, it being on the bubble is worrisome, but hopefully, not enough.

As the creation of my previous blog, http://adamdeckermadamsecretaryblog.blogspot.com/ created this blog, this blog could in turn create one about Battle Creek, which is on after this show. Why would that happen? Well, I’ll let you know should I ever create a blog about that show in question. I’ll be sure to post the link here. I’m just hoping that it’s a good show as the promos are making it look that way.

I might as well get to the episode in question. No delay for it, so that’s good. It starts with something akin to 50 Shades of Grey. As expected, things turn out badly. Only it’s a TV show that people are watching. That episode is being sued for defamation of character. Colin Sweeny shows up. He’s an interesting character. I probably like him, but I never really know how to feel about him. Is he evil? Does he just seem that way? Also, how do the people have cell phones in a courthouse? That probably wouldn’t happen in a Chicago based courthouse. I live in a small county and they don’t allow cell phones. Also, there are robo calls bad to the campaign that Alicia is running.

The case is very confusing already. Like a lot of things in this show, I don’t think that this would actually happen in real life. They end up retrying the actual murder of Colin Sweeny’s wife. See what I mean? This wouldn’t actually happen in real life. It would be an abomination.

The second segment has more of the murder trial, as it has now become. They seemed to have the details of the alleged murder down pretty well. There is some sort of Kalinda storyline, that, as usual, I can’t make sense of. Alicia’s possible donor doesn’t really like the whole gay thing. One wonders how they will deal with that. I’m not sure what to make sense of regarding this part.

The third segment has Kalinda trying to protect the random person she was hired to protect. There might be a vehicle that likes following them. Collin is doing a bad job on the stand. He apparently had bad sexual habits in the past. He might just be saying these things to arouse his new wife. But I take back what I said about him. I do know if he’s evil and he definitely is. Also, the old guy is really creepy.

The fourth segment has more of the case. They are still trying to figure out what exactly is happening. There is some sort of detail that Alicia notices. Before that Kalinda has to tell the father of the boy she was protecting about the bully of that boy. This show is confusing and hard to summarize. I just hope that I can improve on it as this blog goes on.

The fifth segment basically wraps up everything related to the trial at hand. The TV show infringed on the Chum Hum copyright page and that’s how the case was won. I really don’t know what else to make of the case at hand. Like I said, this show can be very confusing to follow sometimes. Well, all the time, probably.

What happens next time? That too is hard to make sense of. I’m just going to go with the promo was intentionally vague and thus really confusing. We get strange things happening pretty quickly. But what do you expect from the Good Wife? Anyways, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
