Henceforth Known as Property

[bobcobb301 · 7/10 · 20 March 2017]

Probably the weakest to date, Maia's storyline was a little bit weird (although current and relevant something The Good Wife/Fight has not always been) but we got yet another really compelling case.

I think they had the judge rule correctly the first time and incorrectly the second. As much as we'd like the right thing to happen, the lady getting her embryo back, I don't think the law was on her side.

Incorrect science

Unfortunately the science is wrong in this episode. The story is that the couple need good mitochondria from the donor egg and not the nuclear DNA, but the donor egg has already been fertilized. Once fertilized, the donor nuclear DNA cannot be removed and the wife's nuclear DNA added, as they are trying to pretend in this episode!

What a couple in this situation - i.e. needing undamaged mitochondrial DNA - would actually need is for the nucleus to be removed from the donor egg, the nucleus of an egg from the wife to be put in its place, and THEN for the egg to be fertilized with the husband's sperm. The donor egg is only needed for its healthy cytoplasm which is where the mitochondria are, and mitochondrial DNA is something very different from nuclear DNA which is what makes us what we are.

The process would need to be done before fertilization and this story is impossible!

They lost us with this episode.

The ownership suit was a weak story line at best. It felt like Barbara and Diane's conversation was way too forced and no mention of Diane's equity contribution anywhere. I no longer care if it's a valid or dropped storyline.

Marissa's presence is way too convenient and Maya's storyline has become stupid.

But the worst part of this episode that pushed us over the edge was bringing back Matthew Perry to slur his words through stupid scene after stupid scene and the ending scene where he's rounding up his team to go after Boseman and whatever had us rolling our eyes for the last time. This ain't no Good Wife even with namechecking Alicia in this episode.

And the hot AUSA ain't no Cary Agos.
