Agree with Matt especially the part on Worst Episode and Most Disappointing Storyline. The writers created Alicia with no feelings this season. Not much communication between Alicia and Will despite the attraction to each other throughout this season so far.
The episode "Parenting Made Easy" was poorly written in my opinion because it is like they are trying to create a storyline to justify the End - the break-up. Matt has accurately described how the writers built-up Alicia-Will relationship, and then in this episode, decided that it means nothing.
Worst character for me was Dana. She is a sore thumb. She does not fit in. I hope the writers will drop her real soon. What's
the point adding one more character which does not mean anything?The relationship between Cary, Kalinda and Dana was
ttotally weird.
I hope the rest of the season will be better i.e.

For lack of entertainment and structure.

agree on Best Character; Best Episode; Most Disappointing Storyline:
Worst Character Grace - just badly written. Introduce her to Zynga, PROBLEM SOLVED.
Worst Episode A New Day - With a new heavily promoted time slot. The show came out with it's worst episode ever. Religion on TV ,if Aaron Sorkin can't sell it. No one else should even try. IMO
Hopes for 2012 Bring back Alicia's emotions. Don't care whose endgame but this cold woman is unknown to me. The writers have sailed her into the Bermuda triangle. A place with no direction. Peter and Will, frivolous is all I can think. I thought it would be intriguing but it's a dud. So please move faster with it or leave it.
Agree but I think the writers are adjusting to a less fast-paced atmosphere because the election's over.

I agree Matt this has been a disappointing season so far. They've sorta ruined Kalinda.

Never ever could Kalinda be the worst character, but I agree, I am fed up with the constant forced flirting. She is smart enough without it.
The way they ended Will and Alicia felt very forced too. I hope they go back to the roots in the second half of the season. I still enjoy this show very much.

I too am disappointed with this season of good wife. The ending to the Will-Alicia was abrupt. I just hope it does not come back with some pregnancy or other bullshit.

I feel Peter's mother, former grandma in Dawson's Creek) needs to fade out, that story line of being meddling is over used. Peter and Alicia have their lucrative careers and first and foremost their teenage children at their forefront. Peter doesn't need her to butt in. I give the show a B
+ for the writing, themes and acting.
Veronica: Do you love my daughter? Will: I'm sorry? Veronica: Because if you do it's time to stop being polite about it, You have a window, but it's closing....
