Well, Susan Ross may be a bit of a Mary Sue right now -- she is too awesome to be true -- but her parts of the episode had panache and life, which only underscored how grim the rest is. With apologies to Scott Foley, who can only do the job he

This episode felt a little perkier, thanks to the full-time return of Juliette, and the fact that lots of people who are NOT Juliette had actual adult conversations in mature ways -- which is, as you know, my kryptonite. But first, a beef: Juliette has named her baby Cadence -- whoever

Honestly, hardly any of our main characters had any power in this episode. It is a full-on Good Wife brownout. It is getting REAL and REAL BAD for everyone except, like, David Lee. And Arvin Sloane. Because, yes, Alicia is handed ARVIN motherf'ing SLOANE to help get

View the gallery Still no Joan. STILL NO JOAN. But we do get a pointless and poorly attended royal masquerade, some Sadfaced Exposition, and a bowl of Viagra. [Also, this episode title is a whole special kind of lame, no?]

I basically want to blow through the other plots in this episode so that we can get straight to Hayden Panettiere, who was epic and hysterical. I have no idea when she had her baby in real life relative to when they shot this, but... she is a national treasure,

View the gallery Well, I just have the worst intel possible on when Joan is coming. Am I just full-on hallucinating, or was it supposed to have happened by now? Maybe the show leaked false arrival dates to make people keep watching... or maybe I have been engaging in

In which The Good Wife producers embed an extremely pointed and crabby message to recappers and freeze-framers all over the world. I'm not kidding. It's at the end of the recap. As for the rest: This show has an amazing ability to be timely, because

Did you enjoy one blessed week fee and clear of B-Ieber? Because it's BACK, and it's opening its gaping, salivating mouth and preparing to chow down on the remaining four episodes of this show. We begin in David Rosen's office, where almost nothing

I think everyone knew exactly where this episode was going to end up -- but it is always a treat seeing Connie Britton and Chip Esten do their thing, because you feel every one of the years that passed between these people and sometimes that kind of depth of chemistry is
