Isn't The Good Wife great? — Page 5

Has it been confirmed next season is the last? I've heard that from a few different places, but I've yet to see an official source. 

I realized also the show started going downhill around the time that Marguiles became an executive producer, and we started getting these vanity episodes. The show was much more interesting when it was more ensemble based.

Mary Beth Peil told me at the VISIT stage door that next season will be the shows last season, so I'm taking that as confirmation enough. 

And last night when there was that 1.5 second clip of Julianna & Archie together at the bar, I kind of gasped and wondered how much real alcohol they had both just had in order to do that. lol

I figured that was some kind of trickery or an old shot they reused, since the entire scene itself was just cut back and forth between them.  When they first showed Alicia sitting on the left side of the frame I thought maybe there were gonna do a Parent Trap-type split screen to get them both in the same frame.

According to this article, Panjabi is returning for the season finale to give the character--and her relationship with Alicia--closure.

Graham Phillips has been attending college at Princeton the last couple of years, which is why Zach's role has diminished over the last few seasons by sending him away to Georgetown--though on the show, Alicia and Zach have a falling out when Alicia discovers that Zach pressured his ex-girlfriend into having an abortion, which explains their lack of communication.

"I thought the "feud" was all fan-fueled rumors that stemmed from a Marguiles interview where she spoke about the characters but fans believed (or wanted to believe) she was speaking about the actors.  There's all sorts of weird speculation about it that seems to be for sport.  One of the most fun is that Marguiles (the actress) is closeted and tried to have Punjabi (the actress) fired because she's jealous that Kalinda (the character) is openly bi and was fooling around with Lana (the character).  Perhaps that makes more sense than the characters not appearing together because Alicia's not over being mad at Kalinda?  Is it even worth speculating about?"

The fan theories are cuckoo, but what isn't cuckoo is the fact that they haven't shared a scene together in 2.5 seasons. While Alicia may still hate Kalinda, they've worked on cases together in the past 2.5 seasons, and the fact they never conferenced in person at the office is odd.

Also, numerous websites are reporting that they were not in the scene together last night.

I think most people would agree it's empirically weird that they haven't had a scene together in a long time.   It's not like there's a plot line about Alicia refusing to speak with or deal with Kalinda, since they've showed them on the phone with one another.

Also, if it is a character thing, that doesn't explain why they weren't in the room for the flashback scene that took place before their characters had conflict.

Was Alicia and Kalinda's Final Scene a Split-Screen?

I thought it was!  They thought so on EW Radio, too!

Just finished watching it and thought the same thing before coming here. It was a split screen. Bizarre.

Confirmed

There are so many "that's bullsh*t" quotes from that interview, it's ridiculous. 

It's just how it's done! DUH! 

And it'll turn out that Peter has been Al Gore all along.

It was a good premiere, I thought.  

Also, Juliana would like you to know that there was no feud (although Archie seems to see things differently)
