Lack of elegance is right. I do expect more grace from TGW. The voter fraud storyline still has a lot going for it, because Will's role notwithstanding, Dubeck is just enough of a self-righteous crusader to find another angle. I also think it makes sense for the character - I have tried to figure out another possible storyline for his exit from LG that would ring true, and honestly nothing makes sense. Will Gardener is that guy who does not let go, of people or things. I could not imagine him moving away for too long, or dumping LG for a lucrative job, or being disbarred forever. This is the most dramatic choice and it will certainly have enough repercussions, given his centrality to the story. Still rings a little hollow to me - lacking in grace.
I don't know how I will look at Diane without a Will.
To end the voter fraud storyline with Will's incarceration might have been better. Will refusing to let anything go and standing by his principles, refusing disbarment and accepting this punishment, Dubeck glad to settle for a fall guy, Peter still in office and everyone reeling from the consequences - yeah, I could see that.
