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! For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
