I have not enjoyed a show so much since the demise of West Wing.I cannot comprehend why this show is not on everyone's top of the list. It really is the only tv show I watch.

@Melissa: I completely agree with you. I think all this passionate fighting is a bit useless. Everyone can give their opinion about Peter/Will but in the end, no one is really right, because the characters are supposed to be realistic, which means they're not perfect. There is no obvious choice, just like in real life, and if some people don't agree with me, I'm fine with it, it's normal. Wouldn't it be boring if everyone had the same opinion?
I understand some viewers think the moral aspect is very important, but I think this show is first of all a story, and not a guideline. The writers aren't trying to convince us to leave our spouse for someone else, they're just telling a moving story about a woman who used to be the perfect housewife, and had to take control over her life to survive, and how she took control, and the choices she had (has still) to make.
In my opinion, the title of the show doesn't say that "The Good Wife" is a rule book to help women have the perfect condu

As much as I enjoy the arguments about who is morally right, it also makes me laugh. Because that is exactly the writers intentions. No one is going to win this argument because everyone is meant to be morally "gray". For me, though, I don't really care who is "right". I am Team Will not because I think Peter is a horrible person with unreedeamable qualities and Will is "the Man". It's because, like said before, I want to see Alicia's journey and I think that involves exploring her feelings for Will, as well as maybe other people too. I am not dumb: I don't think, come series end, Alicia and Will will end up together. But that's ok. For me, The Good Wife is an escape from my real life. Which is wonderful, but everyone likes to escape. So I don't care if I agree with the characters morally, I just want to be entertained. I don't think the Team Peter people are wrong, I just feel like some people are too limited by what they think the show "should" be and not what it "can" be. I am excit

As this closing arguments I would like to know what Alicia is waiting for, why is she holding back on moving forward with the divorce. I think the answer is simple she is going to get back at Peter by fooling around with Will then he is going to drop the bomb on her where it really hurts. This will play out to a complete reconsile of their marriage and family where she wanted for sometime but couldn't see clearly past the past from college to the present day.
Down t he road the writers will be throwing a bunch of monkey wrenches at us if they get another season.

I liked the show till the writers went to far with all the deceit of nobody trusting anyone, and then trying to push the Alicia/Will down are throats. As a fictional story they should try and put together a big scandel that would rock the Lockhart & Gardiner firm and run head on into a total meltdown and breakup, where the SA office prosacutes key people including Alicia with outcomes being fines jailtime and disbarrment. Then lets see where everybodys allegance is then, we will probably be seeing the reverse of I'm sorry coming from guess who.
But who knows what the networks and CBS are going to do to the future of this show, they are one of 3 with 2 being canceled and awards don't come into play money does.

"But I feel if they take this in that direction that it will take away from the title."
Again: the title is meant to be IRONIC! Why won't people listen to the writers about that? Why do people insist the storyline takes away from the title? The show is about Alicia's YOURNEY after the scandall. Jeez, I truly wished they would have chosen one of the other 150 titles they've been thinking about so I wouldn't have to read comments like the above from people.
I personally don't think Felicia & Will should hook up TOTAL OPPOSITE of each other!

I have enjoyed these first 2 seasons. The title to me said it all "The Good Wife." Alot happened between Alicia and Peter. And Alicia stood somewhat by Peter. The writers could have written that she divorce Peter but they didn't. I really like Julianna Margulics, that is why I started watching the Good Wife. And I have enjoyed the direction that the story line was going. To a point, I don't feel that Will and Alicia are right for each. I may start watching the 3 season in the fall. But depending on where it goes with them, it maybe short lived. But as with any show or soap show the writers don't listen to the viewers/fans. They will do what they want. But I feel if they take this in that direction that it will take away from the title. It will no longer be the good wife. I understand how Alicia felt finding out about Peter and Kalinda. But as Kalinda pointed out it was before she knew anything about Alicia. And it happened one time. With the hooker it was more than once and

@Bill,,I totally agree with you there has been more deceit from Alicia than Peter since the start of season one, plus everyone thinks Will is the man. I forsee she is in for a rude awakeing getting hook-up with him, its time for her to take the blinders off before it is to late.
Going into the finale I'm confussed regarding any plans for divorce, she ask about it but is very hesitent to move on that opens a new book of confusion.
Alicia and Will ends up learning a lot about the hefty price tag that comes with certain decisions. You could say they literally pay big for a figurative pay-off.

Sorry, but I'm not among the masses who are so thrilled that Alicia and Peter's marriage is over and she is going to sleep with Will. I know many fans of this show think Alicia ending her marriage is long overdue, but I was actually enjoying seeing Peter try to win her back and become, as he claimed, a better man. Doesn't mean I didn't think what he did was any less scummy than what others believed. I just wanted to see the guy redeem himself and the marriage survive, with Peter knowing that disrespecting Alicia again like that would mean she would leave him in a heartbeat. And not coming clean about Kalinda would appear to be him doing just that. But given the relationship that Alicia and Kalinda had, the consequences of that revelation would have hurt more than just himself. Of course that doesn't excuse the fact that it was yet another act of infidelity. But I really think that the person who did those terrible things no longer exists. I think Peter had changed. Although, I do under

Ditto,Dawn....develop an incredible and passionate relationship while dealing with pitfalls and challenges, please writers......our Americans today need hope and inspiration and successes in our TV dramas to help us all reach for balance and strength personally. What a grand image and goal building institution you've created! Thank you so much for one of the very best series presentations in many years.

It isn;t going to happen, Will will get his one piece and everyone in the firm will find out and Alicia's future will be shot to hell.

Cheap ploy writers! Of course Will & Alicia will have sexytime in the season finale - I dont think Alicica is there emotionally or mentally yet. Her and Will have such amazing potential to slow burn their way to something incredible. But yeah ok, lets rush it!
