THE GOOD WIFE – 6.08 ‘Red Zone’ Puppy Dog Faces, Oxygen & Appearances

This week I am making this short and sweet, mostly because I am frustrated.
I don’t like what is happening with Kalinda and Alicia’s candidacy feels false.

•  Alicia is a poor candidate.
•  Kalinda is a bad girlfriend.
•  Cary is a even worse witness.
•  Louis Canning is a lower life form and makes bread mold not only look appealing, but endearing.
•  Lemond Bishop is so smooth, it’s criminal, which is good, cause he is.
•  Owen returns! And, his Puppy Dog Face is perfect.

Eli is having a terrible time corralling Alicia. She makes a horrific campaign candidate and the Focus Group tends to agree. It seems Ms. Florrick comes across as entitled and selfish. When she takes it upon herself to perform a genuine, yet unsanctioned by Eli, charitable act, it makes things much worse.  Eli is right. Appearances, whether they are true or not, are everything.

Cary also is having image troubles. Thanks to the audio recording he sounds just as guilty as he looks. Diane tries a mock trial complete with presiding judge Howard Lyman which only served in convincing everyone else he was guilty too. Well, at least it’s keeping Howard from lounging on sofa in his underwear.

I am so completely over Kalinda and her antics. Seriously, people! Going through lovers like a box of Kleenex is ridiculous. I knew she and Cary were never going to grow old together, but it would have been nice if she at least changed the sheets in between. All of this will make it much easier when Bishop kills her. Right now I’m willing to supply the bullet myself. End our misery! Please!

Observations:
• Owen says everything is fine, but his body language screams it’s not.
• Louis Canning and his creative use of oxygen was so awkward, I squirmed. Brilliant.
• I love you Howard Lyman
