OH MY GOD I KNOW I WOULD FREAK OUT THAT THE SHOW'S GONNA GO WRONG WITH THIS BUT THEY DIDN'T COMMIT TO A NEW RELATIONSHIP, THEY JUST GAVE THEMSELVES A NIGHT! AND THE LAST SCENE!!!!!!!!!!! WOW. WOW. I AM STILL REELING. I didn't know it would work for me SO MUCH but it DID! It was funny and SO INTENSE and honestly I adored the crazy build-up, I thought it was hilarious and wonderful. I wasn't sure I was feeling the tension between Will and Alicia anymore because it took a backseat and that made so much sense but these past two episodes really made me feel that latent hope and that way they're drawn to each other deep down so that even when they get used to suppressing it, they're still 100% aware that they want each other. It was kind of refreshing, actually, in that sense.
I love everything you said about the way TGW is written, too.
Kalinda/Lana is MY FAVORITE KALINDA SHIP. Favorite favorite. I have no idea if it's going anywhere considering she was in ONE EPISODE this season but she (and Cary, maybe) is probably the love interest who could bring the most out of Kalinda in terms of opening her up a little? I liked what they did with the blonde investigator here but even if Kalinda sleeps with her again, there's a huge barrier there, both on a practical level - it didn't look like that woman had any intentions of having a relationship with Kalinda - and on an emotional level - Kalinda will be even more emotionally closed off to her now - and while that gives interesting insights into Kalinda (and to be completely honest that split second when Kalinda finds out she's sleeping with a married woman broke my heart more effectively than all of her scenes last week), I want her to get over it. I want her to reach a point where she opens herself to disappointment by expecting things from people. Losing Alicia is a huge hit but - yeah.
(and re: Cary let us agree to disagree because I LOVE HIM DEARLY HE IS GREAT. SO. But I am mature enough not to use my Cary icon ;)))
