I hope it's going to be good and picked up.

They also recasted Cary and put him where he really shined as character, the SA. And obvioulsy he's going to have a thing with new Kalinda. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/good-fight-justin-bartha-joins-good-wife-spinoff-948902

The only thing I want to know about that spin-off is that Matt Czuchry will never be part of this in any form.

I really like Christine. I just didn't like Diane so much by the end of the series. And I don't know why she's turning down other projects to do this spinoff. http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/the-good-wife-spinoff-christine-baranski-cush-jumbo-cbs-all-access-1201772883/

Oh, I'm glad Matt Czuchry is out! Since Cary is the only character I still gave a damn about a spinoff with him would have forced me to watch it and I don't want to watch any spinoff.

Right now I just know there's "I don't give a damn".

And that's still a tepid motivation to take a bussiness decision which makes no sense from a business standpoint. Also they should have left Cary out of that mess. Nothing of what Cary did or thought justifies, in my book, the writers' decision to turn him into collateral damage in Diane's quest for the perfect firm.He didn't deserve to be treated like that, from a bussines standpoint and from a personal standpoint. If they wanted an all female firm in the end they should have just had Cary quitting for other professional and personal reasons (and after the trial and Kalinda's exit they had penty of options to do it). Suggesting that he was an expendable element in the show's power play (and mostly suggesting he wasn't good enough for anything he fought for in the previous seasons) wasn't a good idea.

But David and Cary didn't want to drive her out. They were worry she wanted to drive them out. So even that thing couldn't have given the character strong motivations to do what she did. If Diane wanted a different firm, if she wanted new partners, well, It would have made sense for Diane, and not for Cary, to quit the firm and create a new one which suited her idea of firm. Instead we had that carnage which ruined relationships and characters, added a splash of injustice to entire thing and made no sense anyway.

It's not an insult to feminism to want to promote other women. But it's an insult to it to suggest that would be done getting rid of the all male partners just because they're male even when they didn't deserve it. The way that storyline was written is just painful to watch.

Stop to wonder. It's a sure thing.

Because it wasn't intentional. And there's no element to think so especially after what Cary said to Alicia.

Cary is the only character who deserves an happy end and probably the first one who won't get it. He's also the only one I can still stand. And the amount of screentime wasted on Jason has been atrocious.

That's also my episode review. I'm happy we interpreted the script in the same way.

Also more honest and less self-indulgent. I would take Selina over Alicia every day.

Right now the only way to make that party interesting for me is having the entire building imploding because a gas leak.

Considering the awful material they gave him, the lame plots they wrote for Cary and his utlimate scam and harsh exit, it's easy to go there.Let's s put it this way: Matt Czuchry plays "fed up with that crap" really well. And who knows, maybe it's because it's something he also experienced in real life.

Thinking about it I think "He's not Will Gardner" in my book is a compliment (or that's how I want to interpret because honestly they've completely sucked with Cary's character). I know Diane was saying this trying to dissmis him as partner and as lawyer but I don't think there's just one right way to be a good lawyer and Cary is just not the Will Gardner type. He's not a fully commited shark. Will basically had fun with all those schemings and mutual backstabbings, was on his element even with people like David Lee and Howard Lyman. Cary is looking for something else and for someone else. He needs people who he can trust and trust him (that's why I think he kept asking Alicia to come back because he missed their partneship which somewhat became also a friendship and that's why he decided to quit because even Alicia became someone he couldn't trust anymore). He needs a firm which is more like a family than like a ring where the more macchiavellian one wins. So maybe a little firm (like the one he wanted to create with Alicia) but more friendly. So I get why he had enough of those people (because he'll never be one of them) and I've enough of them me too. Too bad they didn't explore that thing in the right way but just like another rushed "Screw Cary over".

Too bad that is just an excuse to screw Cary's character over again.

It's a good theory. But it doesn't explain why they were pretty much comfortable with Eli but not with Cary and Diane.

"It was intentional". That's the way Robert King alway explains all the writing mess in that show. Said that I thought the "justification" is Lucca. It's like Alicia is teaming with Diane, screwing over Cary and lying to him to give Lucca an office and a promotion. But I don't get it and I don't buy it. I don't buy that instant friendship between those two and I loathe that those writers screwed over core characters like Diane and Cary, with a 7 years long history, and their relationships with Alicia to favor two new and mostly undeveloped characters (who mostly I don't give a damn about). Everytime I saw those 3 (Jason, Alicia and Lucca) I think "that is so fake and unfounded. And underserved.". Also notice: even when other characters are plotting to screw him over, Cary has nothing to do or to say. Matt Czuchry really pissed producers off to get that treatment.

Maybe you didn't pay much attention to the SA years, when writers still have interest on writing about Cary and didn't just use him like a tool to move on storylines. Back to those years every reviewer would have described him as cutthroat litigator. He was basically the only Alicia's opponent in court when it came to criminal cases. A pain in the ass for L&G. Will is not an universal parameter to evaluate every lawyer. Cary is not Will but that doesn't mean he can't be good on his own. And as for Matt Czuchry, it's matter of taste. I personally consider him as good as the other cast members. I appreciated that he keeps everything subtle and real. Unfortunally, besides season six season arc, he rarelly got a chance to prove it for more than a bunch of scenes and that season he got pratically nothing to work with it. I don't know what those writers think but if you have an actor who got all the praise that Matt Czuchry got through season six because his performance I would use him and would give him even more good material. No matter if I like him or I don't. He's part of the cast and deserves equal treatment. Something he obviously didn't get that season.

That's because she never had partners "conspiring" around her and never was one of those conspirators?. I agree that storyline is poorly written because if you're right I'm forced to believe that a woman like Diane, quickly after seeing Cary and David Lee being paranoid about her screwing them over, would, out of blue, decide to screw them over for real, create a new firm, plan how to make it and suddenly go to Alicia to ask her to be her partner (the same woman she was scolding and putting in her place just one episode before). Yeah, poor writing.

Especially if the name partners are so loyal people. Because bewteen Diane, (who was ready to jump ship in season 2, not so unwilliing to screw Will over in season 4 to get that judgeship, ready to jump ship again when Will died, and once again not so unwilling to screw Cary over right now) and Alicia, who backstabbed Will ( the man who hired AND loved her) and who doesn't seem so unwilling to screw Cary over (the man who hired her back few weeks ago saving her from her debts AND who's also a friend), that's going to be the biggest "backstabbers-led-firm"in Chicago. Good luck, Alicia and Diane.

Anything not to give Diane and Cary something to do.
