S07.E02: Innocents

I know!  It's amazing how often Alicia's little upstart enterprises come up against some iteration of Lockhart Gardner.

Yes she does, that's why people complain that there are only 2 law firms in Chicago.

In case you missed it, here's the Previously.TV post on the episode!

 

The Good Wife Investigates New Investigators
When an actually good case happens to come to Alicia through bond court, she's going to need a new Kalinda. Could Jeffrey Dean Morgan fill her high-heeled boots?

To me that guy has always seemed like a poor man's Robert Downey Jr.

More like a poor man's Javier Bardem.

 

Was anyone else bothered by the the actor that played the former naked kid? He seemed to not be able to fully open his mouth when speaking, like he couldn't separate his teeth. Maybe he's kind of a ventriloquist?

It grosses me out that this mother refused to acknowledge how uncomfortable these photos made her own child throughout the entire case because it's ART and she is une artiste, but she finally buckled when it came down to money. I'm all for artistic freedom but not at the expense of a child's privacy.

 

Ha, Howard really shot himself in the foot when he issued that ultimatum. Losing him is a win-win for the firm since he doesn't do anything besides take naps and sexually harass the employees.

Don't care what he does. Don't care who he does. Jeffrey Dean is back on my TV and I have a reason to check in and see how he's doing.

 

 

Word!

I was waiting for a case to be made that there's a difference between ART that consists of a drawing or painting of a person,  and an actual photograph.   an artist can draw or paint a person without identifying the person, the end result might be representative of someone, without identifying the person.  .   A photograph of a child by the child's parent cannot be anonymous in the same way.  The comparison to famous paintings missed that detail.   Paintings can be erotic without exploiting anyone.  A photo is a photo of a particular  identifiable person.

Waited two weeks to watch this episode - I guess that is an indication of how important this show s to me.

 

When the defendant (turned plaintiff?) said that he destroyed the picture because whenever someone (employer, potential girlfriend, etc) googles him, the naked pictures of 8 year old him are first on the search list, I thought, "Yeah, and now the articles about how you got arrested for damaging a picture of naked 8 year old you.  Don't think you improved your situation there, buddy."

 

So, apparently he won financial damages because Alicia and Grace were discussing the amount of money, but did he get charges against him dropped?

 

And darn that Grace is amazing at picking out the right candidate too!

 

When Grace said that she wants him, I am not so sure she was talking about his investigative skills.

 

I laughed when Diane went to yell at Cary about the lunch with Howard and her coat totally blended-in with the art on his wall.

 

Diane's role has decreased so much in the last few seasons that she is now literally fading into the background.

What the hell guys? I had NO IDEA that the TGW started back up. Of course, it could have a little something to do with that fact that I just got into the Walking Dead, and am obsessed, so there you go, same night same time. I am now catching upon the episodes and what struck we about the case was, the minute I found out that they were nudes is the child porn angle. I mean, that is illegal. I could not believe that they thought it a good idea to bring a known pedeophile on the stand. Why not a police expert or academic that studies the offenders and then uses hard scientific evidence regarding the use of these images. It was just so unsavory to have some convicted pedeo sitting there talking about how they traded his "art" photos, with the victim sitting there. I cannot believe that Alicia would allow it. Take the victim out of the room so he doesn't have to hear it. I think that they could have painted him as a victim to some respect. Plus as an adult, shouldn't he have some rights to his images? If that law doesn't exist, maybe it should? However, with all that said, now that the internet exists, nothing ever dies. One interesting commentary, I watched this on demand and I do not know if it was the same as primetime viewing, but the private parts on the artwork (the paintings) that they used for the show's exhibit were pixelated! Doesn't that prove the point the victim was talking about in regard to the exhibition of this type of work? They can't even show nude baby children in famous paintings on TV! haha

I also thought that Alicia hiring the Kalinda clone and then firing her was a direct hit back about the Kalinda character to the fans. "There I fired her, eat that Kalinda fans!"
