And I just want to say that that is so much why I love this show, I don't know, do you know? THE WAY THEY WRITE IT IS SO SIMPLE, but somehow so fresh, so different. It's not about creating TV suspense, it's about writing. I have to say that as much of a tv junkie as you all know I tend to be, for awhile I have been feeling sort of disillusioned with it, like -- I know all the tricks already, and I am tired of them. But the Good Wife, I don't know. They are so good. And they do it with stories, not trickery. I love that.
This is so true! There are complicated storylines, which I must admit sometimes confuse me, but you're right that, ultimately, the writing is simple. But it's not lazy, it's just simple and focused.

I like "radness spiral." :-\
