Don’t really have much to say about Sharp Objects (it’s good but that’s all I‘ve got lol) but I’ve been moving on through my tgw rewatch and I want to talk about tgw with someone! So I was wondering what are your favorite relationships (romantic and otherwise) on the show? What’s your favorite season? What’s your biggest praise for the show and your biggest criticism?
Don’treally have much to say about Sharp Objects (it’s good but that’s all I‘ve gotlol) but I’ve been moving on through my tgw rewatch and I want to talk abouttgw with someone! So I was wondering what are your favorite relationships(romantic and otherwise) on the show? What’s your favorite season? What’s yourbiggest praise for the show and your biggest criticism?
So before I get in to my (very delayed) reply, just want tomake sure that all my followers are aware of @hermione-mak-gilmore‘s awesome TGW rewatch posts,which you can find here.
My thoughts, rambling and not proofread as ever, are under the cut.
FavoriteRelationships:
Romantic: Diane and Kurt and no others. Okay, that’s a lie.I think TGW had a lot of compelling and well-developed romantic relationships,even if Diane/Kurt is the only pairing I would say I ship. If I expand my thinking to include romantic relationshipsthat were written well enough to elicit strong feelings and many, manythoughts, I have to mention both Alicia/Will and Alicia/Peter. Just look at thelayers in Will’s Decision Treesequence, or the subtle shifts in their relationship over the years, or theconflicting feelings of season three, or (oh my goodness) any of Alicia’sthoughts after Will’s death (excluding season 7 because season 7 doesn’t dothem justice lol). And for Alicia/Peter, every time the two of them discusstheir family or politics, I see why they’re drawn to each other, and every timethey fight, I see just how much history and baggage they have.
Not romantic: Alicia and Cary’s always underdevelopedpartnership, Alicia and Diane’s complicated friendship (and the power dynamics!And the paranoia!), Alicia and Eli’s mutual respect that turned into afriendship, Alicia and Kalinda (don’t get me started), Cary and Clarke’sfriendship, Diane and Cary (they’re so alike but never seem to be able to workwell together!), DIANE AND WILL’S PARTNERSHIP (that one gets to be in allcaps), Diane and Kalinda (I don’t think we ever got enough of them together),Eli and Peter, Kalinda and Will, Kalinda and Robyn, and probably every othercombination of characters.
Favorite Season:
My personal favorite season is probably season six but I’llbe the first to admit it’s not the best season (and that it is in factinfuriatingly terrible at many points). Instead of ranking the seasons I’mgoing to make a pro/con list for each of them…
Season 1:
Pros: Everythingis so simple yet effective! I love, love, love the structure and pacing of theseason (Alicia/Cary’s competition). The small moments are priceless, and everycharacter’s personality (especially Alicia’s) is well-established. And when Ilook back at season one, I can see all of the groundwork being laid for thetone/humor/style that’s become TGW’s signature.
Cons: It feelslike a first season. If this aired today and not in 2009, I’m not sure I would’vecut some weak early episodes as much slack as I did when I first watched. ThePilot is great (clichéd at times, but great) but it’s not until, what, episode14? That the show finds its footing. That’s a lot of time to invest in a showthat’s a mixed bag. There are lots of weak episodes (Unorthodox, I’m looking at you) and storylines (Peter’s retrial andall the conspiracy surrounding it).
Season 2:
Pros: Season 2contains Nine Hours, which is stillone of the best hours of TGW, as well as HamSandwich and that run of episodes from InSickness to Closing Arguments. Ifseason 2 were just its best episodes, it would easily be one of my favoriteseasons. But…
Cons: It alsocontains a bunch of filler episodes I can barely remember, a few too manypolitical plots about viral videos, and the nonsense that was Blake Calamar(and that never-ending hotel scene in NetWorth). Oh, and I’m here for the drama but Peter never slept with Kalindalol nope I don’t buy it.
Season 3:
Pros: It has somereally great standalone episodes.
Cons: It has somereally terrible episodes and subplots. Alicia’s wig. A general lack ofdirection that makes even enjoyable subplots seem meaningless and distracting.
Season 4:
Pros: Everythingfrom The Seven Day Rule to What’s in the Box? is some of thestrongest material ever on the show. The introduction of memory pops!
Cons: Beginning ofKalicia ban, NICK SAVARESE’S EXISTENCE, Mandy Post Idiot Reporter (yes she getsa mention), deeply boring cases and plots in the first half of the season, someweird stuff for the Florrick kids.
Season 5:
Pros: HITTING THEFAN. THE DECISION TREE. A FEW WORDS. DRAMATICS, YOUR HONOR. THE LAST CALL. Idon’t think any other season has as many pivotal, perfect episodes. And seasonfive has the strongest structure of any season (season one is a close second)with its five episode arcs that make you forget the bad, slow episodes becausethere’s always a great, dramatic episode in the near future. Season five makesthe most of four seasons of worldbuilding. It’s smart and exciting and dramaticand it still feels like almost everything is motivated by character developmentrather than a need for plot (see: office politics in the later seasons, or howclumsily Bond is introduced at the beginning of season two). Also thescore!!!!! Season five is the year the score becomes truly incredible.
Cons: Some of theseason five episodes are weak, y’all.We, The Juries is terrible, and thatepisode and Goliath and David were acomplete waste of time (but we got Thicky Trick out of the latter so it canstay). Most of the episodes that aren’t the big ones are similarly weak. TheKalicia ban continues, and unlike in season four, Kalinda’s material reallysuffers as a result. It feels like she has a nude scene in most episodes. Andthen the last run of episodes in the season has its moments, but most of it isjust… directionless and not very good. You can tell the writers were building to 5x15 and then had to scramble tofind new directions in its aftermath.
Season 6:
Pros: The writers’dedication to exploring Alicia’s journey and how she’s changed over the years.The beginnings of the Cary arc. Some good material for Kalinda (and some badmaterial but I’ll get to that). Prady is a perfect opponent for Alicia. Johnnyis a great addition to the cast. Some really great Alicia/Peter moments andfights.
Cons: The Debate. The separation of the leads,which probably happened because of (ugh) the Kalicia ban (UGH). Not only arethe leads separate from each other, they’re separate in glaring ways. It’s notsimply that Alicia’s off running a campaign (a very good reason she might notbe interacting with Kalinda day to day)… it’s that Alicia’s running a campaignbut her law partners have no opinions about it, until they suddenly do, butthen they suddenly don’t again. How am I supposed to be invested in interpersonaldrama when they aren’t laying groundwork? Season five used up so much of thegroundwork laid previously that the show needed to take a minute to reset andplay out its new conflicts before rushing into more dramatic storylines.Instead… Diane’s at the firm now, Alicia’s running for SA, Cary’s in jail, and thefirm’s somehow back at LG (and somehow hasbecome LG by the end of the season). I don’t think season six contains manybad ideas, it just doesn’t juggle its ideas well. A better version of seasonsix wouldn’t just give us great Alicia episodes, it would use conflicts at theoffice and the way the other characters view Alicia’s campaign to add another layer.I personally didn’t have any trouble figuring out why Alicia was running for SAbut I know that’s been a top objection to s6, and I understand where it comesfrom. A better arc—one that forced Alicia to explain her motivations to othersand devoted more time to Alicia developing policies and meeting voters andvolunteers—would’ve given me more of the character development I love and helped to make the arc succeed forothers.
Season 7:
Pros: Lucca Quinn.
Cons: Everythingthat is not Lucca Quinn. But seriously: there are a few things other than LuccaI like (the first few episodes where it seems like the writers are slowing downand re-establishing a status quo, Driven,Alicia’s breakdown in Judged, Party, the idea of ending the show witha slap, and the song “Better”), but mostly, I don’t like season 7 at all. Peterrunning for President is flat-out stupid, and an unforced error. Alicia’s wigSUCKS. Diane and Cary are off in silly plots until Alicia and Lucca(illogically, because of an uncharacteristically stupid thing Alicia does!)somehow wind up back at LG (or LAL, whatever, it’s LG). Ghost Will in thefinale is… not good (use Josh Charles, I don’t care, but bringing back Will inthat particular way is just fanservice). Peter’s trial at the end of the showis convoluted and I’m pretty sure the story changes from episode to episode.There are also some unnecessarily ridiculous reveals, like Peter sleeping withGeneva (no) and Kurt sleeping with Holly (very no). But my biggest problem withthe Peter-trial-arc is that it’s a repeat of the emotional beats from the endof season six. Season seven should not undo all of season six just so it can (poorly)attempt to do it over again. After seven seasons, it comes down to… Aliciabeing devastated over the voicemail (UGH) and Peter doing something sketchythat forces Alicia to play Good Wife again? Really? It’s like the writers chosethe easiest paths for creating drama (voicemail) and demonstrating growth (then/nowcontrasts). I don’t blame the writers, though, for how bad season seven is. It’sbecome increasingly apparent to me that CBS was fucking around with the show inseason seven: they rushed BrainDead to air like a month after TGW ended, whichmeant the Kings were probably spending most of their time staffing/writingBrainDead while they were working on s7 (they only wrote two episodes—the premiereand the finale). And as if that wasn’t enough, I didn’t believe it at the time,but I truly think CBS was hoping to renew the show for a Kings-less seasoneight. If that’s the case, then it makes sense that season 7 couldn’t take manyrisks and would have to get back to being a fun, simple workplace proceduralwhere all the characters worked at the same firm. So by the time the writerslearned the show was actually in its final season—despite the fact they’d beenplanning on seven seasons for years!!—it was too late to do anything other thantack on a rushed and repetitive arc to close out the show.
Biggest Praise(s):
· ALICIA FLORRICK. I love Alicia more than I’veever loved any fictional character. That’s partially because of what she’s likeand largely because of how well, and consistently, she’s written.
· A commitment to being realistic. I’m not sayingeverything the show’s ever done is realistic, but the writers were clearlyalways interested in creating realistic characters who lived in a realisticworld. I appreciated that the show acknowledged systemic, structural problems(within politics, criminal justice, workplaces, etc) and that it was alwaysaware of prevalent stereotypes and the importance of appearances. I think thatwhen people look back on TGW, it’ll be seen as one of the most accuraterepresentations of what the world was like in 2009-2016.
· Casting, costuming, set decoration, and scoring.
· Memory pops!
Biggest Criticisms:
When I rewatched season three (between seasons five and six)I said there were three main problems with the show that were especiallyapparent in season three. I’ll say them again here, and add one more.
· Sprawl: Sometimes the show tries to do too much andit simply doesn’t have the bandwidth.
· Bad pacing: 22 episodes is a lot. Oftentimes itfeels like the writers write BIG EPISODES and filler episodes, with no middleground. If the filler episodes were instead build-up episodes, the big episodeswould be even better and there’d be less filler.
· Loss of focus on Alicia: When the show focuseson its central character, it’s less likely to turn into a sprawling,poorly-paced mess. My thinking is that if the writers focused more on Alicia,they’d have to be more deliberate about how they write the characters aroundher (to make the most of their screentime and establish their wants and beliefsso their interactions with Alicia are as meaningful as possible).
· Since I came up with the criticisms above, theshow’s aired two full seasons since my original post (and I think I came upwith these criticisms before I even made that post), plus two full seasons of aspin-off, AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME DAMN PROBLEMS.

Summary: In the legends of the Five Gods, it is said that the second God, Deathscythe, was very protective of the other four and would do anything to keep them alive. He would fight entire wars, taking hit after hit until he couldn’t anymore, until he used every drop of magic that he had to keep them safe. He would fade away and the others would follow. Their magic would then find its way to those it deemed worthy and the cycle would start again. And now… The Five Gods have been reborn into a world full of magic and war.

Summary: It started as some fun with equations, patching and brainstorming on an idea that had been scrapped by the gundam scientists before completion. Now, the project has taken on a life of its own. For a brief period, the five former Gundam pilots enjoy the fruits of what proves to be a powerful training platform. When the virtual reality interface is shared with a limited run of Preventers recruits, a domino effect begins that nobody is ready for. One braided adrenaline junky is caught in the middle of it, looking for answers to questions that come at a price. What is happening with the isolated program Yukio? And why do the riots and mass murders blossoming all over L3 mirror a VR instance? Is the platform emulating the life it is witnessing, vice versa.. or something else entirely?

He’s important enough to have some interesting enemies after him, at any rate: a devious killer and thief called ‘Shinigami’, and a very irate Dragon. Beyond them looms an even greater threat. Indeed, the greatest of them all.

2018 NFL Mock Draft: Browns take Wyoming QB Josh Allen with prime choose
It is Mock Draft Time, which implies my first foray into the mania that has turn into Mock Draft season.
This would be the first of many, as the method has actually simply begun and free company will change some group wants and create others.
For my first mock, I’ve Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen going first total to the Cleveland Browns. I do know all of the discuss his unhealthy completion proportion, however he performed with a bunch of jayvee gamers final yr at Wyoming. He’s huge, robust, powerful and has a rocket for an arm.
New Browns normal supervisor John Dorsey will come to like his expertise. As some scouts have stated, ”He appears to be like like a younger John Elway.”
That is excessive reward.
However there are a number of quarterbacks who might go first total, together with UCLA’s Josh Rosen and USC’s Sam Darnold. I’ve each passers gone in my mock by Denver’s choose at No. 5.
I even have Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield and Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph going within the first spherical, and I feel there’s an opportunity Louisville’s Lamar Jackson might find yourself on the again finish of it as nicely. That might be six within the first spherical if that had been to occur, which might as soon as once more be a reminder of how priceless the place it’s within the league and the way fervent the chase to search out one might be.
The free-agent quarterback class, which incorporates Washington’s Kirk Cousins and others, will influence the mocks. I’ve the New York Jets signing Kirk Cousins for the aim of this mock, which is why they are not taking a quarterback on this one.
So dive in, however do not maintain me to this one.
In any case, it is only one in a couple of half dozen to come back
1. Cleveland Browns
Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming. I do know there are numerous draftniks who don’t love this child, however the league scouts I’ve talked to like him. He’s good for the Browns: An enormous, robust passer who can rip it within the components.
2. New York Giants
Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA. They must get the subsequent man after Eli Manning and Rosen must be the choose. He’s a strong-armed passer who can step in and be taught for a yr or two behind Manning.
Three. Indianapolis Colts
Bradley Chubb, DE, North Carolina State. Their move rush has to enhance and Chubb is the man to do it. The Colts want to search out their subsequent Dwight Freeney or Robert Mathis. This child has these instruments.
Four. Cleveland Browns (from Texans)
Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State. That is too excessive for a again for my liking, however I might perceive. Barkley is a particular runner who also can catch the ball out of the backfield. This draft might go a protracted solution to fixing their offensive points.
5. Denver Broncos
Sam Darnold, QB, USC. They must discover a passer if they do not get one in free company. Darnold has some points – hand measurement and movement – however he understands the passing recreation and might make all of the throws.
6. New York Jets
Minkah Fitzpatrick, CB, Alabama. They drafted two safeties a yr in the past, so now they get a nook who’s a playmaker from a prime protection. If they do not land a quarterback in free company, Baker Mayfield might be in play right here.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State. That they had main points on the again finish final yr and Brent Grimes is a free agent. Their protection has to enhance.
eight. Chicago Bears
Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama. They must get a go-to participant for Mitchell Trubisky and Ridley is the most effective of the receiving group. I additionally assume they may go nook right here.
9. San Francisco 49ers
Tremaine Edmunds, OLB-DE, Virginia Tech. He might play the “Leo” pass-rushing spot of their scheme. They may additionally choose to take a nook.
10. Oakland Raiders
Mike Hughes, CB, UCF. This can be a child who had numerous spectacular video games in opposition to top-tier receivers and the Raiders have a serious want for a nook. This may appear excessive, however nook worth will drive him up boards.
11. Miami Dolphins
Quenton Nelson, G, Notre Dame. They’d land the most effective offensive lineman within the draft on this state of affairs. He is perhaps one of many 5 finest gamers within the draft interval.
12. Cincinnati Bengals
Orlando Brown, T, Oklahoma. The son of former NFL participant with the identical title is a nasty, bodily participant. He is perhaps extra suited to enjoying on the suitable facet, though that does not matter as a lot anymore.
13. Washington Redskins
Derwin James, S, Florida State. They should get higher play on the again finish of their protection. James has the power to be a playmaker in numerous methods, even when he did not play as nicely final season as anticipated.
14. Inexperienced Bay Packers
Arden Key, Edge, LSU. This can be a participant who was talked about as a top-5 participant earlier than the yr. He must get stronger, however he has the pace the Packers want off the sting for brand new coordinator Mike Pettine.
15. Arizona Cardinals
Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma. He would step in and compete to start out immediately, which they want with a serious void on the place. He must present them his character considerations aren’t a lot.
16. Baltimore Ravens
Dallas Goedert, TE, South Dakota State. They must get weapons for Joe Flacco, and there actually would not appear to be a receiver value taking this excessive after Ridley. So touchdown one of many prime tight ends is smart. Might additionally go offensive line right here.
17. Los Angeles Chargers
Da’Ron Payne, DT-DE, Alabama. They should get stouter up entrance inside and Payne might do this. He can be a pleasant slot in Gus Bradley’s protection.
18. Seattle Seahawks
Vita Vea, DT, Washington. Groups ran on them greater than regular final season and Sheldon Richardson is an unrestricted free agent. They should get stronger inside and Vea is that sort of participant.
19. Dallas Cowboys
Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M. They lack pace exterior of their offense and it exhibits up the best way groups defend them. They should again them off and Kirk would assist do this.
20. Detroit Lions
Marcus Davenport, DE, Texas-San Antonio. With Ezekiel Ansah set to be a free agent, they should get assist for a move rush that was missing final yr. Even when they preserve Ansah, they need assistance. This child is uncooked, however has the dimensions and pace scouts love.
21. Buffalo Payments
Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State. Is that this too excessive? Possibly to some, however he’s a man league scouts like greater than draft analysts. The Payments must try to get a franchise passer if they do not need Tyrod Taylor.
22. Buffalo Payments from Chiefs
Billy Value, C Ohio State. With the retirement of middle Eric Wooden, they must get a alternative and Value is the most effective of this yr’s group. He might additionally play guard if wanted.
23. Los Angeles Rams
Isaiah Oliver, CB, Colorado. Trumaine Johnson is their finest nook and he’s possible gone through free company. They must get assist at that spot and would possibly want to make use of a number of picks on the place.
24. Carolina Panthers
D.J. Clark, WR, Maryland. They must get pace exterior for Cam Newton and Clark is alleged to be a sub-Four.Four receiver. He additionally has good measurement at 6-Three.
25. Tennessee Titans
James Daniels, G-C, Iowa. The linemen from Iowa normally come able to play immediately and Daniels can assist at two spots. The inside of their line needs to be higher.
26. Atlanta Falcons
Isaiah Wynn, G, Georgia. Their guard play final season wasn’t pretty much as good because the yr earlier than, and that is a cause why the offense wasn’t pretty much as good. Matt Ryan wants house in entrance of him.
27. New Orleans Saints
Harold Landry, DE, Boston Faculty. They should get assist for Cam Jordan by way of an outdoor move rush. Landry performed simply 9 video games on a foul ankle final yr, however he had 16 ½ sacks in 2016.
28. Pittsburgh Steelers
Roquan Smith, LB, Georgia. When Ryan Shazier went down for the yr, their protection suffered. Together with his future doubtful, they should get a playmaking linebacker and Smith is that man.
29. Jacksonville Jaguars
Connor Williams, T, Texas. They must get higher up entrance and Williams would give them sort out flexibility with second-year participant Cam Robinson in the event that they preserve Jeremy Parnell at proper sort out. Robinson has potential, however he struggled at instances final season and might be moved to protect in the event that they had been to land a sort out or to the suitable facet.
30. Minnesota Vikings
Mike McGlinchey, T, Notre Dame. They should get higher at proper sort out and McGlinchey would do this. He performed the left facet at Notre Dame, however might simply transfer to the suitable facet.
31. New England Patriots
Harrison Phillips, DT, Stanford. Their entrance seven wants upgrading within the worst manner. Phillips is a great participant as an Tutorial All-American, and we all know how Invoice Belichick loves that about gamers. Would possibly go quite a bit larger than this when all stated and completed.
32. Philadelphia Eagles
Rashaan Evans, LB, Alabama. He’s a tricky, nasty participant who is aware of easy methods to get to the soccer. The Eagles might be shedding Nigel Bradham to free company and Jordan Hicks is coming off a serious damage.
