What was supposed to happen? The Good Wife creators Robert and Michelle King recently explained the final scene of the CBS series and revealed an alternate ending, TVLine reports.
The legal drama ended last night after seven seasons. It starred Julianna Margulies, Chris Noth, Christine Baranski, and Matt Czuchry.
[SPOILER WARNING!] In a letter to the show’s fans, the Kings said Diane (Baranski) slapped Alicia (Margulies) because she was becoming more like husband (Noth):
She was becoming more and more like her husband, and, ultimately, Diane was the collateral damage. That we found interesting. Over seven years could you completely remake your character? Could a victim become a victimizer?
They added that the final scene almost had Alicia chasing after a man:
We were tempted to have Alicia chase after a man in the end — stop him from getting on a train or an airplane at the last minute, hold him, kiss him. We like those endings. But there was something false about it here. It isn’t who Alicia is. In the end, the story of Alicia isn’t about who she’ll be with; it’s about who she’ll be.”
What do you think? Did you watch The Good Wife series finale? Did it end the way you wanted it to?
puede seguir conspiracion de invetigador ex agente el asesinato de willgarner fue planeado llega un familiar de will a buscar la verdad
el gobernandor sigue en problemas
Love the good wife ,it should have been renewed.so sad it ended like that ,they really should consider bringing it back !!!
My wife and I benge watch all 7 seasons the past 2 months on Netflix. I totally understand why the Kings ended the show the way they did. The show in it’s entirety had a realistic feel to it. Going away from that at the end would have been a mistake. The only knock I could say about the show is not giving clearity about Jason. For all we know he died on the way seeing Alisha. They could have simply showed him getting on a plane/ taxi or even kissing the girl Alisha saw him kissing earlier in the… Read more »
Actually I am glad that it’s over. The show was declining after Will’s death. All the interesting characters disappeared (Kalinda, Will, later Finn, Bishop, Zach) and it became boring. I am afraid 22 episodes were too much for a season in general. Although I enjoyed the first 6 seasons, I could not find much joy in season 7. I found the end terribly disappointing.
It ended perfectly, despite the naysayers’ complaints. It couldn’t have ended any other way–not realistically. This is not a romance novel.
perfecto para otra temporada
The finale ruined the whole series for me. Couldn’t have ended any worse than it did.
porque para mi queda abierta a otra temporada el investigador podria ser un conspirador que busca el gobierno no quiere poner en peligro a alicia porque se enamoro de verdad, la negligencia policial fue a proposito para silenciar a will garner para que no delate , entra en escena un familia de will para buscar la verdad………………………………………..regreso de kalinda para dar con los responsables hay para hacer otra temporada
I was very disappointed there will be no Season 8, and killing off Will was way too sad for Alicia. The story and characters were great; why stop. Alicia character was played the greatest.
I was very really disappointed with the last episode of The Good Wife. I felt like Alicia deserved better, she was entitled to be happy. CBS you screwed the pooch on that ending. After all Alicia and all of us that invested a night each week watching I feel like we were ALL robbed of a happy ending for Alicia. It’s my opinion CBS let us ALL down. Way to go CBS..
To Greta McGuiness. You are so right about the shortage of GOOD programs on TV, especially on broadcast television. This show proved you can do quality drama and not have to be on cable, with shows like House of Cards, Breaking Bad, for example. CBS has irked me this whole year. The cancelled Mike and Molly, which while not re-inventing the sitcom, was fun to watch. It was filled with kooky characters, quick jokes, and a cast that had great chemistry. I will miss that. The cancellation of Person of Interest has angered me also. Another well written and produced… Read more »
I have watched The Good Wife since the very first episode, and was instantly hooked. The writing was always well crafted, blending in great courtroom drama while creating well fleshed out characters. Julianna Marguiles became Alicia. I really cared about the character. The ending was a crime. After all she went through over seven seasons, betrayal and public humiliation from her husband, the death of her lover, and her constant battles withing the firm and with Eli Gold, I feel she was entitled to be happy. To say she couldn’t be a strong woman and finally be in love with… Read more »
I don’t understand. Surely there are so few GOOD programmes around, why would you want to finish one that has been such a great success. It has hardly started and it’s been taken off. Doesn’t make sense. CBS have made this same mistake with so many good dramas. The story lines are great. The characters are great. WWHHhhhhyyyyyyyy……………….
queda abierto para una posible temporada mas
I was really disappointed with the last episode of The Good Wife. It was such a wonderful show and to have an ending that was beyond what I expected it to be.
