The Good Wife: Difference between revisions

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Many of the quirky recurring characters, but Elsbeth Tascioni stands out.

{{quote|Do you hear that too?}}

* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: A Nobel Peace Prize laureate-to-be mentions he's busy since he's going to Stockholm to receive his award. The Nobel Peace Prize ceremony is held in Norway.

* [[Disregard That Statement]]: Used by many characters, though they usually withdraw their statement as soon as the other side objects.

** Will himself ends up presiding as a judge in a mock trial... of [[Hansel and Gretel]] <ref>Actually a rather common scenario in that sort of thing; it's a classic murder/self-defense argument.</ref>.

* [[Justice by Other Legal Means]]: {{spoiler|Inverted in the second episode, where a stripper files a civil action against her rapist after the State Attorney decides not to prosecute. Alicia loses the case after the DNA evidence is found to be cross-contaminated. However, just as the rapist leaves the court, he's arrested for her rape, as non-contaminated DNA evidence has been found}}.

* [[Law Procedural]]

* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: A mild case. The third season premiere checks in with Alicia and seven other regular characters (Diane, Eli, Grace, Zach, Cary, Peter, Kalinda) before the opening titles, making Will [[It Makes Sense in Context|noticeable by his absence]]--''he'' shows up right after the titles, before the credits. Those are all ''regulars'', never mind recurring characters and the primaries in [[Law Procedural|cases of the week.]]

* [[That Was Objectionable]]: Lawyers yelling objection when a question hasn't even been asked yet. Used intentionally by Alicia to aggravate Stern's dementia and make him lose focus.

* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: Alisha and Will. To the point where he says that they have "always had bad timing".

* [[We Will Not Use Photoshop in the Future]]: Averted. The fact that much of the blackmail material used by Childs against the Florricks is, in fact, shopped is a minor plot point. {{spoiler|The only problem is that not all of it is fake}}.

* [[You Fail Geography Forever]]: So, so often. Putting a Hasidic Jewish neighborhood in Hyde Park? A wealthy neighborhood in [[Wrong Side of the Tracks|Garfield Park]], out of all places?
