review of The Good Wife finale
|
I remember visiting this website once...
It was called Paul Levinson's Infinite Regress: The Good Wife True Goodbye
Here's some stuff I remembered seeing:
The Good Wife concluded last night, and I was totally satisfied with the ending, ambiguous though it was.
But look, ambiguity is a part of life, and one of the real strengths of The Good Wife was always that it was so true to life. And the ending was true to what we saw over the years of Alicia\'s life, in particular.
Of course she would choose to save her husband Peter over loyalty to Diane\'s love life, ok, marriage. Diane, although she has many worthy qualities, always did what was best for Diane, ahead of the law firm and individual people in that firm, anyway. She was a feminist only insofar as it coincided with her personal goals. Nothing wrong with that - but no reason that Alicia should have been bound by that, either.
Alicia always was entitled to pursue what was best for her own life, and, in this case, that was Peter not going to prison. For if he had, she indeed would not have been able to break totally free of him, and be with Jason.
Further, it makes sense that Will was and will always will be the truest love of her life - not least because he can no longer do anything to tarnish that love. He played a perfect role in this finale, including Alicia being able to tell him she will always love him.
As for Jason - and for viewers who wanted a more definitive ending - well, no one told him to leave town or whatever like that, in the end. He\'s not an easy lover, and it makes sense that Alicia will have to go through some effort to get him back, if that on balance is what she really wants.
As for the series, it ends being among the very best ever to have been on television, and I\'m glad to have seen every minute of it.

Dear Paul, I just dreamed of airships flying between raindrops. I just returned from 2042 CE, where I sold my hardcover copy of The Plot to Save Socrates for seventy million Neo-Euros, because it had your response to this e-mail from way back in 2007 scotch-taped onto the inside of the cover. A Paul Levinson collector paid top Neo-Euro, because of the authentic archaic e-mail printout from you. It turns out that not many of your e-mails from before your tenure as CEO of HBO/Cinemax and terms as United Nations Secretary General will survive that far into the future. So, please respond to this e-mail, to help found my great-grandchildren\'s fortune. My Will will stipulate that they must share with your great grandchidren. Thanks! Tom
