I wasn't planning to watch season 7 but well, I couldn't help myself honestly. Departure of very important characters made The Good Wife weaker, but it is still somewhat funny, if more inconsistent than ever.
But what about this episode? Was this supposed to be an emotional roller-coaster? Starting with a young girl shot in the neck, and that extremely unnecessary and irrelevant ending? Don't get me wrong, I kinda like the lustful chemistry between Alicia and Jason. And I don't see anything wrong or immoral about that scene. Even I as a heterosexual guy can't help admiring Jeffrey Dean Morgan. But you cannot go both ways, either you should make the episode mostly dramatic or cheerful. It cannot be both. And she wasted last 20 years? What's that supposed to mean? We didn't see any background of wasting her life. She was portrayed as a happy woman until the scandal.
Also, even though I generally agree to the points given about gun control, it was demonstrated in a very cheesy and over-the-top way. This lecture given by Abernathy towards gun shop owner was mind-numbingly cringe-worthy. A father who has recently lost his daughter wouldn't act like this even if he won the case. Again, we come to the same point: Write it dramatically or cheerfully. A season can include mixtures of both, an episode cannot. It rarely happens in TV shows like this.
7th season is disappointing but everyone was expecting it to be like this. It had some funny episodes. Eli Gold is still in the mix, thankfully. But 17th episode did really bother me, even though my expectations are at the minimum.
