I had no idea this was coming, but unlike a lot of shows, I trust TGW to deal with the consequences--for there to be long-lasting consequences at all! I like that all the relationships are going to have to undergo a wrenching course change. I hope Diane gets to be prominent in this next little bit. (Although part of me worries that with Will gone, Diane can get her judgeship somehow, and then the show will be all Florrick & Agos and no cross action. I still want Diane!)
bell and I noticed that this is the first time we can remember Alicia speaking to Kalinda in...so long we couldn't remember, and even then we didn't see them actually speak! I hope they interact in the wake of this, yeesh.
No, you're right, they haven't spoken in forever and Kalinda has been in the shadows playing messenger girl. I do like the narrative possibility that Peter drove them apart and Will brings them together, like he did the first time they met. Will brought everyone together.
But if Kalinda and Alicia are friends again, I want more reciprocation from Alicia. I want Alicia to have her back - which she did, back in the days - like Kalinda always has hers. Because I don't know, her callous 'I thought she was gay' statement is something that really annoyed me - Kalinda told her explicitly that she doesn't identify as gay, but someone whose sexuality is fluid, and for Alicia to blatantly ignore that feels like such an erasure of her identity to me. Even if she wasn't there to hear it. I know that it's the 'seeing' part that caught her unawares, but still.
