"The Good Wife" took on several hot button issues with "Rape: A Modern Perspective." It was like the writers looked at what they had done all season and decided they weren't topical enough, so they threw together this episode.

In Alicia's dreamscape, there was sex with Will and then watching Will have sex with Laura (recurring guest star Amanda Peet). The passion between Will and Alicia is back, despite their best efforts.

"The Good Wife" killed John Noble and turned his death into one of the best episodes of the series. Ever. Noble's character was quite eccentric -- would you have him any other way? -- and Alicia described him as very litigious.

The one good thing about this case: Robyn and Kalinda. When will the Kings develop a backdoor pilot for them? The truck driver already called them "Cagney & Lacey."

Praise The Kings, there was no election storyline in this episode of "The Good Wife" and guess what -- it was a solid and very entertaining one. "Runnin' With The Devil" saw the return of Lemond Bishop and the introduction of Charles Lester, played by the wonderful Wallace Shawn.

It was another "The Good Wife" episode full of guest stars. Was it as good as the last episode? Nope, but there were still enough highlights *cough* Carrie Preston *cough* to keep the episode going.

Welcome back to greatness, "The Good Wife." After what felt like many weeks of missteps and episodes that were thisclose to hitting a home run, "Red Team/Blue Team" knocked it out of the park.

Alicia got the offer of a lifetime ... and so did four other people at Lockhart/Gardner in "The Seven Day Rule." Plus, Lockhart/Gardner's struggle to get out of bankruptcy raged on in the latest "The Good Wife" episode on many fronts.

"Je Ne Sais What?" was a refreshing change of pace episode for "The Good Wife," largely thanks to Carrie Preston's return to the series. If you only get to know one recurring "Good Wife" character, make it Elsbeth Tascioni.

While it was enjoyable to see Michael J. Fox and Julianna Margulies have an acting showcase in that conference room, it felt like an arduous process to get through "The Good Wife's" "Boom De Yah Da."

"Oh come on," I said as "The Good Wife" wrapped a very enjoyable episode. Both because "A Defense of Marriage" was ending and because Alicia's actions.

This episode of "The Good Wife" is a game changer. In fact, it's the game changer many stories needed. Where to begin? Amanda Peet's fine performance? Maura Tierney's character's bombshell? The drinks between Alicia and Kalinda? So much to discuss.

While "The Good Wife" was "Waiting For The Knock," I was waiting to be sufficiently entertained. Don't get me wrong, this episode had highlights, but for the most part, it was a bit lacking.

The return of Jackie! That's right, Mrs. Florrick is out of the hospital and ready to tell voters about women throwing themselves at her son. It was a Nick-less, swishy-ness and drunk Alicia-filled episode.

Omelets have never caused more stress and been as dangerous as they were on this episode of "The Good Wife" thanks to the ongoing violent saga of Nick and Kalinda.

Week after week I seem to praise the performances guest actors turn in on "The Good Wife." Surprise, I'm not going to stop doing that, especially when it comes to Tierney.

"The Dream Team" brought Patti Nyholm and Louis Canning together to take down Lockhart/Gardner, but we all know the true dream team of "The Good Wife" is Kalinda and Alicia. Kalicia.

Robert and Michelle King should write a guide book for other TV writers in how to develop relationships. The evolution of Cary and Alicia has been one of the joys of "The Good Wife."

"Pants On Fire" picks up right where "Blue Ribbon Panel" ended: Alicia vs. Jackie. Jackie has been the little villain in the corner for much of the series, so having her become the full-fledged baddie was so very rewarding.

We've seen Julianna Margulies play the wounded and emotionally devastated Alicia with finesse, but the Alicia in "Blue Ribbon Panel" is in "take no prisoners" mode. It's Alicia at her best.

I yelled at the TV for Alicia to take the beer from Kalinda. The two of them were both visibly upset by the interaction, which made their interaction at the end incredibly moving.

This juicy drama-filled episode felt like when "The Good Wife" was on top of its game last year ... Julianna Margulies turned in a stellar performance ... in side looks and eye rolls alone. This woman deserves all the praise she gets.

It's now safe to say whenever "The Good Wife" has an episode with the phrase "ham sandwich" in it, it's going to be a stellar offering. Like last year's "Ham Sandwich," Season 3's "Another Ham Sandwich" was filled to the brim with moments that make "The Good Wife" one of the most entertaining shows on TV.

It seemed like "The Good Wife" was giving viewers an overly complicated case just because it could. Last week's very simple, straight-forward episode was an elegant work of art, especially when compared to this week's sluggish offering.
