Oh My. The Good Wife (SPOILERS)

I don't even know what to say about The Good Wife. My mind is blown. My heart hurts. And I just don't know what to say.

Okay. Yes I do.

If Michael J. Fox's character Louis Canning is added to the show permanently we might be breaking up. His character is so grating and obnoxious. I've been dealing with Nathan Lane and that's about the amount of tolerance I can give out to one show. (When Nathan Lane talks I die a little on the inside.)

This is going to look awfully familiar soon... 

So let's recap here for just a minute. How I Met Your Mother is ending. Sandra Oh is leaving Grey's Anatomy. (She's my favorite.) And now I possibly can't watch The Good Wife?! All I'll have left is The Big Bang Theory. I need some new shows people. (Smart comedy, good drama)

I am so disappointed in The Good Wife. I admit it, I was absolutely a Will/Alicia girl. I thought for sure she'd leave Peter at some point. And just as they were starting to be civil... they finally smiled at each other again. Just in time for them to rip my heart out. I totally saw it coming. (Within the episode that is, I did not read any spoilers ahead of time.) And even as my thoughts were said out loud I didn't believe them. But there it was. They killed him. He's dead.

And a piece of my heart died with him. It's terrible to be so attached to fictional characters but alas, I was. He was my favorite. I just don't see where they're going with it, though I will say it solved the Peter deposition problem for them. When your witness is dead it doesn't leave much room for guilt.

Rest in Peace Will.

I am going to start re-watching seasons 1-4 now in remembrance of Will. The best.

Next Morning Thoughts: As I have had some time to gather my thoughts and feelings on this matter I thought I would continue to update all of you who may be interested. I have read this and this.

I am still sad. However as Husband pointed out the show is called The Good Wife. She could never really be with Will because she would never be the good wife anymore. Just as Lorelai could never truly marry Luke within the show as they wouldn't be The Gilmore Girls anymore. The previews they've already shown us prove that this will be a very hard time for Alicia and Peter to stumble through and there will be no more denying the love that was between them.

Again, it does solve the ballot box problem for the show so even as I am completely torn up saying goodbye to my favorite character I can see that really is the best way for Will to not have to betray either Peter or Alicia. Nothing good could have come from that and if he died at a point where the two of them were thawing out a little then he died in a world of hope and hope is much, much better than hate.

I am glad that we have one more week with Will in flashbacks. If yesterday really was the last time we saw him I would be very distraught indeed. I imagine life on the show will never be the same and my verdict will still be out until I give it a chance. Michael J. Fox is only there for 4 episodes. That means there will be 2 episodes without him in the remainder of the season. (Thank goodness for that!)

I am still reeling from the fact I thought the "episode everyone will be talking about" (from the previews) was going to be about the ballot box. I even watched the season 4 finale in preparation for the whole mess to go down. I really was shocked. And I don't really care what people say, this was more shocking than any other television death I've experienced. Because really, Adrianna on Sopranos? She went to the FBI, how surprised could we have been?! But Will being shot in a court room? Unnerving and intense. That is good television.
