The Good Wife Recap: 7×04 “Taxed”
The episode opens with a clip of a charming, self-deprecating young woman talking about her glioblastoma multiform to her webcam followers. She dined on “applesauce du jour with broken-up pentabarbitol mixed in. My last supper.” She starts to cry and says she can’t live with the pain.
Halloween Read: Death with Interruptions, by Jose Saramago
Bewildered, confused, distraught, struggling to control their feelings of nausea, the firement extracted from the mangled remains wretched human bodies that, according to the mathematical logic of the collisions, should have been well and truly dead, but which, despite the seriousness of the injuries and lesions suffered, remained alive and were carried off to hospital, accompanied by the shrill sound of the ambulance sirens.
Nashville Recap: 4×05 “Stop The World (And Let Me Off)”
As always after a great episode of Nashville, I’ve got whiplash. So many decisions made, unmade, then remade! So many fights and makings-up! I love it.
Also, a PSA: I skipped recapping 4×04 because I was so woefully behind. From now on I will be doing every week. Now, on to the recap!
The Good Wife Recap: 7×03 “Cooked”
This week’s The Good Wife made me kind of disappointed, as entertaining as it was. Why did it seem like Alicia was making so many incredibly obvious mistakes? Did this bother you?
On the other hand, a healthy dose of Stockard Channing in top form and a couple of fabulous Diane scenes may have more than made up for it.
The Little Girls, by Elizabeth Bowen
“What really expresses people? The things, I’m sure, that they have obsessions about: keep wearing or using, or fuss when they lose, or can’t go to sleep without. You know, a person’s only a person when they have some really raging peculiarity…”
–Dinah, The Little Girls (by Elizabeth Bowen)
Homeland Recap: 5×02 “The Tradition of Hospitality”
I liked this episode a lot. Very exciting and funny, too. I also felt it really provides a nice rebuttal of the whole “Carrie is the worst spy evah” theorem that so frequently floats around the internet, by having Quinn do even more absurd things.
Nashville Recap: 4×03 “How Can I Help You Say Goodbye?”
Previously: Juliette left Avery, Scarlett pretended to hate Gunnar, Luke dropped Will from his label, Teddy went to jail and was “a total criminal,” and Bev had a big old aneurysm … again.
The Mindy Project Recap: 4×05 “Stay at Home MILF”
Last week on The Mindy Project, we met the practice’s new hires, Colette and Jody. This week, they each get more lines than Jeremy, surprising no one.
The Good Wife Recap: 7×01 “Bond”
Recap
Let Them Eat Cake
The episode opens with that combination of montage and super intense, unexpected music that The Good Wife does so well. Lots of guys getting arrested: it’s violent, disruptive, and scary.
