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.
