E: Maybe Friday of last week, the brick dropped. The title of this week’s episode is clearly military code for the three letters which begin the words; I knew that right off. So I don’t know why it took me a while to realize that those letters actually stood for something I already understood.
Yeah.
So. Unexpected but largely excellent guest stars, so that’s good. Alicia takes a little action on her own behalf this week, which is really refreshing, and also, frankly, a profound relief. I know I’m not alone in being frustrated by her passivity. It’s about freaking time she stepped up about something! But still, controversy and convoluted plots swirl around her without her knowing it. Dana and Kalinda continue to toy with each other and Cary’s heart. Peter pulls the noose tighter around Will’s neck, with a bit of an unexpected twist. Diane makes an ultimatum. And, as Ken Tucker notes over at EW, Alicia remains completely ignorant, outside the fray.
And then we’ve got two cases which we don’t care strongly about. Or at least I didn’t; I can’t speak for you guys. I wanted to care about the non-cheese issue, I really did, but I honestly don’t feel like I know what happened, and we didn’t spend nearly enough time with the client to get a real sense of her, and that just annoys me.
