I got more enjoyment from that line in the recap than I did from the episode itself. Although the slap was nice. And as much as I never liked Will, it was nice to see him back and for Alicia to get some closure. But otherwise, it was...meh. Definitely not a great finale. It wasn't horrible, but it could have been much better. But at least the show is done with. And at the end of the day, we got 5 really good seasons with the show, and 2 mediocre seasons. Not a bad accomplishment overall. Especially in this day and age when the traditional network format isn't doing so well. The first 5 seasons gave us 112 episodes, and how many TV shows today, on network or otherwise, can give us that? Not too many. So while this show did overstay it's welcome, it was still a good top quality show for much of it's run, and as blah as it got in the last few seasons, not gonna lie, I will miss it. Somewhere, though, Archie Panjabi must be laughing her ass off. Totally agree to the hilarity of the bad wig being obvious EVEN TO THE DEAD.

What a delightful review/commentary, Tara! Way better than the episode. Thank you!

I agree JM's hair looked poorly tonight. But wow! she hugged a "friend" and I'm not talking about the maybe new boyfriend. Somehow Lucca has managed to become BFFs with Alicia. I wonder how long it will take for their interactions to be only via cellphone.

Proof:

So now we've seen the BIG LAST SCENE between Alicia and Kalinda, and I'm not convinced that wasn't CGI. I noticed as they sat at the bar, they never touched, nor did their hands or arms overlap. The scene kept cutting to a view of the out-of-focus back of Alicia's or Kalinda's head, we never saw one in profile with the other face at the same time, just those few seconds of ostensibly sitting together. At least once, Kalinda's gaze wasn't quite lined up to be looking at Alicia. And I also noticed that in the bar scene later with Alicia and Finn the strange posing featuring the back of Alicia's head was repeated, probably to "help" us believe the earlier scene wasn't bogus, but it just looked weird and reinforced my opinion. Alicia's almost teary nostalgia was unearned, and her burning of Kalinda's confession just seemed a na-na-na-na-na at Bishop's slimey little minion. Very disappointing.

I just read that Archie and Julianna will have a last scene together in the finale episode on May 10. Sorry I can't find the link; it took forever just to get back to this article. I'm pretty sure it was a reputable source. Edit: Found it: http://tvline.com/2015/04/27/the-good-wife-finale-alicia-kalinda-scene-season-6/
