Wonder if OITNB inspired this storyline.

Hakeem Olajuwon Howard (Leee), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 17:58 (nine years ago) link

does it have anything to do with the reason the/an oitnb lead is imprisoned?

cuz i would think it fits in perfectly with the good wife writers' zeal for depicting under-scrutinized horrors/absurdities of dealing with the legal system / government / surveillance bros

That was an amazing opener, let alone for a sixth season.

Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 22:21 (nine years ago) link

Yeah, I watched it with my cousin who had never seen any of the show before and she was hooked right away.

I hadn't thought of that, but more to do with using a privileged character as a way to get into jail. And much as I love OITNB, the way prison was shown here was so much more harrowing.

OITNB does a similar thing, actually!

1. Taye Diggs got old!
2. Don't trust him and the posse he assembled going over to F&A.

1. But still a very good looking man.
2. Good point!

Chuck_Tatum, Wednesday, 1 October 2014 10:32 (nine years ago) link

So that's why Alicia still has Grace around.

Aw man, I was hoping for a Steve Inskeep cameo.

man it is SOOOOOO painful whenever she tries to play the game and can't bear to

wtf @ random death of hail mary pass witness at the ep's very end

deej loaf (D-40), Tuesday, 4 November 2014 05:59 (nine years ago) link

well, does it have to have been random? i mean he was in hiding in the first place because of fearing bishop

j., Tuesday, 4 November 2014 06:02 (nine years ago) link

yeah, and his existence was revealed to current SA immediately prior to his death, right?

everybody loves lana del raymond (s.clover), Wednesday, 5 November 2014 19:18 (nine years ago) link

You suggesting that Castro leaked the guy's location to Bishop because of his prosecutorial hard-on for Cary?

Big Orange Machine (Leee), Wednesday, 5 November 2014 19:21 (nine years ago) link

i would not rule out some other source in the office?

or i mean kalinda did go to dude's cousin's (?) apartment, bishop already has a history of exploiting her investigative activity

j., Wednesday, 5 November 2014 19:24 (nine years ago) link

yeah i mean that's what i was wondering i guess, like they said it was a car accident (!)

deej loaf (D-40), Wednesday, 5 November 2014 22:47 (nine years ago) link

they did. but that's not super believable. it's just… what appears to be the case.

j., Wednesday, 5 November 2014 22:52 (nine years ago) link

but presumably someone has the tape of dude saying that he set up casey, right?

deej loaf (D-40), Wednesday, 5 November 2014 22:56 (nine years ago) link

by someone i mean dude who just got fired from the DA's office

deej loaf (D-40), Wednesday, 5 November 2014 22:57 (nine years ago) link

well knowing this show, probably no - they couldn't let cary off too fast

j., Wednesday, 5 November 2014 23:04 (nine years ago) link

two weeks pass...

RIP Cary, maybe they can make Eli's daughter a partner.

poor cary :( that was a hell of an episode, though.

bizarro gazzara, Monday, 24 November 2014 20:42 (nine years ago) link

I just started watching this show, holy hell is it good

the farakhan of gg (DJP), Monday, 24 November 2014 20:46 (nine years ago) link

my wife and I blasted through all the episodes in the space of a month or so. it's fucking great! it's weird how archie panjabi's American accent seems to get worse over the course of the series tho

Also, rmde @ Ramona probably mispronouncing Sleater-Kinney.

Really surprised that upper-class professional strivers would know about SK, but maybe it's retroactive Portlandia aura.

WHAT

j., Monday, 24 November 2014 20:57 (nine years ago) link

Dan, give or take 5-6 episodes it's basically six solid seasons of really good-to-totally greatness

i also just finished watching the whole series over the last 3 months...the wait for this weeks episode was so painful.

out here like a flopson (tpp), Tuesday, 25 November 2014 14:36 (nine years ago) link

ftr I started with the new episode about three weeks ago, nobody's got time to binge on old seasons over here

the farakhan of gg (DJP), Tuesday, 25 November 2014 14:37 (nine years ago) link

The intern's mom is old friend of Alicia and Peter; he had an affair with her while A. was pregnant with Grace (she says while showing him recent pix of them together)(P. reminds A. that this lady is now his attorney).

So, Castro's revenge on Alicia and Peter (who withdrew his endorsement of C.) is to cause the conviction of her law partner, who is in cahoots, ladies and gentleman, with the drug dealer, long-time client of and current campaign contributor to St. Alicia. Okay, but why did Bishop screw over Kalinda? He wanted to teach her a lesson for threatening him with Child Services (pix of known dealers entering/leaving his house during hours when kid was usually there). Seemingly not worried about son actually being taken---so he's got that much of an understanding with DA Castro, or somebody, despite surveillance of his home...

dow, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 15:17 (nine years ago) link

I hope Kalinda will leave the show (announced for end of this season) after doing something to Bishop to rescue or at least avenge Cary, then escaping, riding off into the sunset with her fallen FBI gf (or maybe the blonde cop)---on a motorcycle, dammit.
This won't help Alicia, but I wouldn't vote for shady her or righteous TV guy.

dow, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 15:22 (nine years ago) link

IDK, that DINO ad was pretty lulzy.

TAKING SIDES: HUMANS VS. GUACAMOLEEE (Leee), Tuesday, 25 November 2014 18:18 (nine years ago) link
