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.
