  1. Dee played that terribly. She should have been acting exactly as outraged and betrayed as Sifu, since the only reason to be fine with seeing her name at tribal was if she was certain Sean was the one who wrote it down. Her complete lack of stress about who voted for her ought to have alerted Sifu that either she or one of the other women wrote down his name, and either way, Dee was clued in on who had done it & was protecting them while lying to Sifu about it.
  2. I'm looking for Ella, with her absolute belief plus her "darkness" to take over as some kind of warden for both Heaven and Hell. Only way to get Lucifer off the hook for both jobs, so his endgame can be full humanity + life w Chloe.
  3. I think this is the first episode the entire season that I've flat-out enjoyed, from beginning to end. It's like the last 6 episodes were an incredibly long and complicated filler run just to get us to this point, when the story is actually about to start.
  4. I think we are likely to find out that Glassman is dealing with some kind of very bad health diagnosis. He fears that in a very short time he will no longer be there for Shaun, so he is trying to equip Shaun with the skills to survive with him no longer there to act as support system. During one of their confrontations (in the cleaning closet), Glassman was getting pretty heated when he suddenly stopped, was silent for several seconds, and then abruptly left, saying they'd pick up the conversation later. I expect he was feeling symptoms (heart probably, so Melendez can operate on him and miraculously save him).
  5. Just like Rachel is able to own her power and authority with everyone EXCEPT Quinn, Quinn loses her footing specifically when it comes to Chet. The super ingrained power dynamic between both pairs is one of inequality, and it's hard to shake off so many years of conditioning. Quinn's suggestion that Rachel's mom was right was so brutally effective because it reinforced Rachel's feeling of being fundamentally lesser than Quinn, robbing her of the self conviction she needed to effectively wage a fight for control.
  6. I'm thinking that after they rescue William, he and his mom are going into Witness Protection, where their new names are going to be Sandra and Connor Hawke.
  7. My assumption was that the Ruth/Alicia scene came after she went before the Grand Jury in response to her subpoena. So she knows the questions she was asked there, and they must have indicated that the GJ was convened to investigate Peter, and that they had the goods to go forward. That definitely seemed to be the story they were telling. Which could absolutely work, in general, as a story about some people, somewhere. And the people in that hypothetical story could certainly be educated, self-styled liberal/progressive people. But it really does not work for Diane Lockhart, at least not based on what I've seen of that character for the run of this show. Anyone else remember back when she decided to join Alicia in her startup, so it could be the only firm in Chicago totally run by women and minorities? Back then Diane had a whole bunch of culturally diverse partners in her firm, and they were people willing to walk from the old place to be with her in the new one. Presumably not because she kept introducing them to each other and telling them how much she just knew they were going to like each other. Maybe I just imagined that version of Diane, since it's pretty clear the writers do not...
  8. I wonder if the full circle ending will be Alicia in another press conference, standing to the side of Peter as he vows to fight this charge (election machine fraud), with reporters yelling questions and cameras flashing. But this time, instead of being The Good Wife and sticking mutely supportive by his side, she loses it, makes a big speech, and then officially leaves him, in public and on camera. The End to The Good Wife. Cut to black. The idea that the writers would see no problem in swapping in one POC female friend/confidant character for another, as if they were interchangeable pieces with no purpose other than to service a pre-planned plot line is pretty yucky to me. Also completely believable, given what they've been giving us for a while now.
  9. Suppose Quentin was killed on the courthouse steps, where he was going to meet Donna for a Justice of the Peace wedding ceremony, and Donna ended up watching him shot down while she was standing there, full of hope and joy, wearing her wedding dress. Seeing her mother's happiness ripped into shreds might put Felicity in a serious "kill the bastard" mood.
  10. I don't think that he was referring to his hookers or other cheating with that line. We've seen Alicia be most happy with Peter when he was doing something Machiavellian to get her something she wants. Remember when she got him to threaten the headmaster of the private school so that her kids could be readmitted there? Remember when she had him send a state investigator to Patti Nyholm's office? She admires him when he is the guy who causes traffic jams in midtown Chicago to depress her rival's vote count. That's the kind of bad she likes.
  11. I think it serves as a counterpoint to Peter/Ramona. Both the Florricks seem to be using their staffers for a little meaningless physical gratification without much concern for the emotional impact that may have on their partners. Both Florricks place the public face of their facade marriage first. Peter is far gone on that road, Alicia just taking her first baby steps, but in the same direction.
  12. I think Alicia is slowly morphing into Peter. Over the last few seasons, when she felt super pumped up and wanted to bang a stranger, she used Peter. Doing that served her purposes but still let her feel OK about it since he remained her husband on paper. She may not be at the stage yet where she calls up hookers when she's riding that "I'm totally awesome!!!" feeling (and probably never will go quite there simply because it would be inelegant) -- but the trajectory in the direction of celebrating professional triumphs with random guys to provide her with a little exhilarating-but-intimacy-free pleasure is noteworthy. It was very reckless, and I think quite possibly going to cost her. In the last couple of episodes she's seen incontrovertible proof that opposition-research people can photograph you in private spots (Peter undressing on a bed), and that opposition research people are watching and photographing her (Finn leaving her apartment building in early morning). When she got a look at the photos of Peter, she was very angry and judgmental - not because she felt betrayed as a wife, but because she felt he should know better than to do something that could damage her campaign. She was incredibly irate that his libido might hurt her public image. It would be kind of funny if the woman whose PAC was launched and primarily funded by Chicago's biggest drug dealer gets brought down for kissing her campaign manager in a parking lot.
  13. I think Ramona is basically a replacement Alicia - she offers Peter all the things he likes about Alicia (developing lawyer chops, classy, articulate, pretty) without Alicia's anger and contempt. Ramona's got the naivete and gentleness of Alicia 1.0, the woman who ceased to exist after the scandal changed her DNA, but Ramona also has the professional competence of Alicia 2.0 that got Peter jazzed up and alleviated the boredom he'd felt for 1.0. And Ramona's attitude toward him is rooted in hero-worship instead of Alicia's cold disdain. I think Peter and Alicia are heading for divorce sooner rather than later, after which he'll marry Ramona in short order (and then cheat on her with interns and prostitutes).
  14. That is an interesting theory that would fit. Star on the hat = star birthmark. I wonder if the people who are sent to our world would remember what happened? (End quote) Would have been great story if flashbacks showed Snow Queen was once hatted, which put her in the world w/out magic, which is how she ended up as Emma's foster mom. She could have recognized Emma's magic and leveraged that somehow to get her own power back and sent home, leaving Emma with one more abandonment story in the process. But I guess since we know she comes through the portal door, that's not going to play out.
  15. For the three female villains that were rumor-spoilered: how about some version of The Three Fates? If they are responsible for Regina's lack of a happy ending, they are obviously very, very BAD. Maybe they are who Operation Mongoose will take on in 4B.
