I caved and read the spoilery stuff.

OH KALINDA AND ALICIA! They HAVE to get back together. Is that possible? Alicia is forgiving, right? RIGHT?!

I think I like the Cary and Kalinda scenes more than I like the Will and Kalinda scenes. I mean, Will and Kalinda interact fine and there are good moments there, but I think the Cary and Kalinda scenes make more of an impression on me.

I wish Cary and Alicia would quit the rivalry. I think they make a kick-ass team.

Haha I do more than love Cary/Kalinda scenes, I ship it like it's my job. But the ep didn't really focus on them so I didn't mention it. *g* I'm curious if her interactions with Cary change now that she's all done with feelings and shit. XD

Alicia MUST forgive her. That's all there is to it. *cries*

ALICIA AND KALINDA, MY HEART

Kalinda reminds me of Cara a little bit, the way she's opened up to Alicia bit by bit and the way she's come to appreciate alien things like friendship and trust. And now, of course, she'll shut herself down completely because feelings are hard and friendship only causes pain. ;__;

I do that. It means nothing to me but...I do that.

She explained herself. It was like, 'I am like this. I'm not like you, I'm not as good as you are. I thought you knew that. Love me anyway.'

YOU BROKE MY HEART AGAIN ;____;

I'm so crazy about her and every character I've met like her, which includes Cara of course. And Santana Lopez and Rebecca Logan and Naomi Campbell and other ladies who I invariably fall for because usually it's dudes who get these types of character arcs. Feelings! What are they! Why are they so hard and why can't I make them stop!

I dare you to love me.

YOU AND ME BOTH. It's a bulletproof kink, GUH. And usually, when they're paired up with an emotionally open, 'good' person, OTPs happen.

It's so ironic - Alicia is the wronged party, but the onus to make amends also falls on Alicia, because I don't think Kalinda is capable of that. Her response here was to shut down completely, because feelings suck and who needs them? You just know deep down she believes that she doesn't deserve Alicia's friendship, so I doubt she's even going to try to make amends unless encouraged by Alicia.

I love your Good Wife thoughts and I want to say more on them, but my brain is stuck on Thor: The Mighty Avenger and was wondering if you bought it or ~found it and if you had a link for it, bc I've been looking to no avail.

Okay, now back to TGW! I just. It hurt. It hurt so bad but it was so good and I can't deal with these two and I want them to make up but I know it going to be a long (hopefully medium size) road ahead. They're confrontation in Alicia's office and how it starts off with neither of them saying what they know and it breaks down from that. I do that. OH KALINDA! I love her so much. The line broke me and it was perfect for her as was Alicia trying to keep her composure. They're so good, both of them. So good.

rather than Peter whom she's no longer in love with. -- oh so true and yet hurts because part of me really loved them together. Not excusing Peter or anything, but it was good how they made this revelation happy. Okay, so in all honesty part of me feels using Kalinda and Peter to give Alicia this revelation is ( ... )

Thank you for the link! I meant to answer you back right after but I got sucked in reading it.

IT'S SO WONDERFUL. OMG WHY IS THERE NOT MORE?? It's made of all that is good in the world.

Speaking of things that hurt to watch, I have discovered that when Kalinda cries, I cry. Just. ALL THE AWARDS. I mean, when she fumbled with her notes and half-staggered to the elevator, are you KIDDING ME? She loves Alicia so much you guys, SO MUCH.

And she tried to actually describe her feelings about Alicia TO Alicia, which is MAJOR.

Oh god, YES! I need them be to besties again and SOON. I know it probably won't happen until NEXT SEASON and that makes my heart hurt just thinking about it. I adore them SO VERY MUCH...and I still need some TGW icons.

I don't particularly like Will, but I find him way more compelling in scenes with Diane and Kalinda. I love the sense of history and understanding between them.

YES! I don't care for Will but I tend to forget that whenever he has scenes with Kalinda or Diane :)

I know--thank god for relatively short hiatuses for American network TV because I need to see them make up soon. FOR MY OWN PERSONAL WELL-BEING.

I don't have any TGW icons either! Must fix this.

Alicia and Kalinda are THE most important relationship on the show to me (though I also have a soft spot with Alicia and Eli), so of course this episode was especially painful to watch. And of course all of Kalinda's walls went right back up after this, and just-sigh. I hope next season is all about the two of them eventually working things out.

Alicia and Eli are so much fun to watch! I'm looking forward to seeing how the show keeps him in the game in future seasons because I can't imagine Alan Cumming's going anywhere.
