The Good Wife/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Alicia Florrick. Is she a noble hardworking single mother who faces adversity with integrity and honesty? Or is she an inconsiderate Jerkass who believes justice is sternly the law and constantly indulges in kicking or shooting the proverbial dog?
  • Arc Fatigue: Blake investigating Kalinda. The producers admitted that Scott Porter's schedule forced them to drag the story out longer than they'd planned.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Eli Gold, who seems to be staying on by merging his lobbying business with Lockhart/Gardner despite the election being over.
    • Kalinda. Sharma.
    • Elsbeth Tascioni has definitely turned into this.
  • Magnificent Bastard: Eli Gold, oh so very much.
    • Lemond Bishop. The man makes being a ruthless drug lord look so cool.
    • Louis Canning.
  • Values Dissonance: Kalinda snarks at the jury selector for using racial stereotypes, to which the rather obvious comeback is "that's what you pay me for." Honestly, you simply try to fix a jury in your favour, and look at the kind of amoral people you get.
