norwich36 | Three things make a post

1. I thought everyone knew by now that LJ was under a DDOS attack, but I've seen at least three posts today with people asking what was going on, so here are a few links explaining what's going on. I personally don't plan to move off LJ unless the whole service goes down permanently, but I do have about 8 invites to Dreamwidth, so if anyone wants one, drop me a comment. And backing up things is never a bad idea, which leads me to point two:

2. Beloved fandom authors, please archive your fic! In more than one spot! This week people are worried about LJ servers, but I had a similar reaction when the A03 servers were down for scheduled maintenance a few weeks ago--more places is better.

killabeez has a great post about some different options here.

3. I haven't been posting about The Good Wife for the last few weeks because I've been crazy busy, but holy roller coaster ride of emotions, batman!

I don't think I've been this worried about the fate of a fictional character since Dean Winchester was first headed to hell in season 3 of SPN, but all season the Kalinda plot has had me on tenterhooks. And that episode three weeks ago where she finally faced off with Blake and the grand jury had me completely tearing my hair out even though I knew she was going to come out on top. But damn, this show can't let me bask in her amazing victory over Blake (and I thought it was completely brilliant how she basically framed him for sleeping with the gangster's wife), because it had to drop that huge bomb about her sleeping with Peter at the very end of the episode.

So for the past two weeks I've been terrified about what's going to happen when Alicia finds out, because the Alicia/Kalinda friendship (or just plain ship) is what hooked me on this show in the first place. The suspense is KEEELING ME, I swear! And now that it's been 2 weeks and it hasn't happened, I'm afraid it's going to end up being the season cliffhanger, and I'll be worried about it all summer.

Meanwhile I love the other plotlines going on, especially Michael J. Fox trying to steal Alicia for his new firm, and Eli actually showing his human side (first trying to save America Ferrara's dad from being deported last week, and then actually getting insulted on Alicia's behalf this week when the reporter asked her about her HIV status). I really, really hope Eli is going to be able to stick around in some capacity next year, because I love him. Oh, and I also am really liking the extent to which Cary is sticking his neck out for Kalinda, especially because I don't think the show would actually go the Alicia/Kalinda route, so if they can't do that Cary/Kalinda is my next favorite ship. Also, it looks like it's hurting him professionally at the district attorney's office, so maybe that means he'll end up back at Lockhart/Gardner next year.

I have a DW account, but I haven't even looked at it since I set it up. I doubt I remember the password. Eep.

I'll stick around LJ until until it folds, I guess. :)

A big YES to everything you've said about The Good Wife. I love that show so much. And Cary/Kalinda is a couple that I love so much that I think I can even stand them never really getting together. Does that even make sense? LOL.

Eli's also become a favorite character. I like how this show is expert at creating multi-dimensional characters.

I'm thinking that the cliffhanger will have to be a combination of the Kalinda reveal and Alicia accepting the offer to leave Lockhart/Gardner. Gah!

I expect DW has a way to recover or replace your password, though hopefully you won't actually need to migrate over there.

I actually have a little hope they might give us canonical Cary/Kalinda, though I did kind of understand what you meant. (And SV has trained you to like hopeless romance, I think!)

I don't think it would be bad if Alicia left L/G for a while--it might open up some storylines, the same as Cary going to the prosecutor's office. And since it looks like they're going to continue down the Alicia/Will storyline, I'd be a lot more comfortable about that if he wasn't her boss. I wouldn't want her to leave permanently, of course, because I like all the L/G folks.

awwwww good wife is the single most brilliant and amazing show since last year!
well in terms of storytelling :D
I am not shipping anyone with anyone in particular. I just worship Eli XD
I am so glad they opted for that title, otherwise, I might have never watched it :)
(its funny though, nearly all my flist (and the german blogger (mostly who are male!!!) articles who are raving with superlatives about Good Wife) has watched the show despite the title *G*. As in contrast to me, who did choose it because of it!

I am confused about why the title would drive someone to watch or not to watch, honestly. I watched it because I thought the premise was interesting and I liked several of the actors in the cast.

I agree with you about the brilliance of the storytelling, though.

I know she is friended with boppy, so you might know each other.
she linked to an RL world article of her a while ago:

if you scroll down to the comments , there is one by jason mittell, where a small discussion started:
worry about its ratings, though, as it does poorly for CBS and skews really old (yes – older than most CBS shows!). I wonder if its title puts off some viewers, assuming that it’s only about a cuckolded political wife. Also, many younger viewers are loathe to try any drama on CBS, while I think it would do much better on ABC. So spread the word…

and I have seen similar discussions in German forums about why some did not watch the show first (both from men and women).
good wife sounds misleading, chauvinistic, blablabla, sort of like some people thought, something like desperate housewives? no thanks.

Other than chris north, I didnt know any of the cast, so that wasnt how I was lured XD

oh, and the show creator said in some interview, he regrets that title as well, and if he could go back and change things, he would have chosen another title!

Oh, well, the premise was a cuckolded political wife, but that was what was interesting to me.

Julianna Margulies was in ER for many years; Christine Baranski has been in all sorts of things (most notably Cybill back in the '90s, but lots of movies as well); and Josh Charles was in Sports Night.
