The Good Wife

8. It started with a slap and ended with a slap.

She was turning into Peter.

I think her true turning point was earlier, when Eli admitted that he had erased phone messages from Will, telling Alicia that he loved her.

She did not have to go after Diane's husband. She did it to save her husband, because she would go to any lengths for a client.

I liked that at the end, she composed herself, straightened her clothing, and went out into the world with no man at her side. She was strong enough to do that.

The show was also a commentary on marriage. What is marriage in the 21st century?

Remember, she started out as a woman who had given up hope of a career, and was left in a large home in an expensive suburb, with two teenagers to raise. Her husband was going to jail.

I still like her. She did what was necessary.

Was anyone in this show not morally compromised? I don't think so, unless maybe it was Kerry. Maybe.

I like that there are questions instead of a neat, happy ending.
