‘Good Wife’ makes 
a disjointed return

With showrunners 
on the way out, CBS 
drama needs to go 

back to basics

By ALEX INTNER

Daily Arts Writer

One of the big pieces of news to 

come out of the Television Crit-
ics Association 
Press Tour this 
past week was 
that Robert and 
Michelle 
King 

(“In 
Justice”), 

the 
showrun-

ners 
of 
“The 

Good 
Wife” 

since the begin-
ning of its run, 
are leaving the 
show to pur-
sue other projects. There’s still 
a chance the show will continue 
for a season eight, but it will be 
without its two key voices. Hon-
estly, their leaving might be the 
best thing that could happen to 
the show. The pair has done a lot 
of great things with these charac-
ters and this world, but the Kings’ 
contributions are starting to feel 
long in the tooth as the show 
pushes weaker political storylines 
and artificial character separa-
tion. The mid-season premiere of 
the drama has a little bit of both 
sides: a fantastic opening scene 
followed by an episode of political 
bullshit.

The mid-season finale closed 

with Eli Gold (Alan Cumming, 
“Strange Magic”) revealing to 
Alicia (Julianna Margulies, “ER”) 
that he deleted a voicemail from 
her former partner Will Gardner 
where he declared that he loved 
her and would leave everything 
for her. Alicia tells Eli to “get out” 
in the premiere, but he doesn’t 
leave. Instead, he tries to talk to 
her. Alicia reacts slowly, taking 
some plates out of a cabinet and 
painstakingly sorting through 
the pile. As Alicia goes through 
each one, the tension builds, espe-
cially because Margulies shows 
little emotion. But when Alicia 
starts throwing the plates at Eli, 
there’s a release. In that moment, 

Margulies is legitimately terrify-
ing, bringing up a groundswell of 
anger and sadness which comes 
from grief and a wonder for what 
could have been. It reminded me 
of the show at its best, when the 
emotional impact of the charac-
ter’s decisions produced unparal-
leled drama. 

If only the rest of the episode 

lived up to its opening, as it spends 
the rest of its time following Peter 
Florrick’s (Chris Noth, “Sex and 
the City”) campaign, as he tries to 
visit every county in Iowa before 
the caucus. The Kings’ interest 
in politics has existed since the 
beginning, but it fails to justify 
why they took the time to have 
Peter run for president. It seems 
like the writers only included this 
arc in order to be timely and have 
sharp conversations about the 
issues and primaries, but overall 
it was just boring. The episode 
attempted to build drama from 
Peter’s mistakes and whether or 
not he’d be viable, but I felt noth-
ing watching the artificially-built 
turmoil. Even having “Charac-
ter Actress” Margo Martindale 
(“Justified”) isn’t enough to make 
the story viable. It’s OK for a show 
to experiment, but the show has 
dug its head in and kept going 
with a story which just doesn’t 
work.

The biggest reason why the 

political stories haven’t worked 
is that they keep Alicia separate 
from the lawyers at Lockhart, 
Agos & Lee. They are stuck in 
their own world, and it’s hurting 
the show. The artificial obstacles 
and stupid misunderstandings 
seem like the Kings are road-
blocking the characters into the 
separation, leading to storylines 
like David Lee (Zach Grenier, 
“Fight Club”) and Lucca Quinn 
(Cush Jumbo, “Getting On”) 
negotiating a prenup for How-

ard Lyman (Jerry Adler, “A Most 
Violent Year”) and Jackie Flor-
rick (Mary Beth Piel, “Dawson’s 
Creek”) a plotline which appears 
to exist only so contractual obli-
gations can be filled.

Every time I think the Kings 

are running out of steam, they 
pull out a scene like the epi-
sode’s opening. Still, it seems like 
they’ve forgotten what made the 
show great. It wasn’t the tackling 
of relevant issues or the political 
intrigue — it was the characters 
and the drama that came from 
their interactions. By throwing 
Cary and Diane into their own 
show and putting a heavy focus 
on a useless 2016 election story, 
it undermines those character 
moments. The Kings leaving could 
be a breath of fresh air should the 
show continue, as it would allow a 
new showrunner to return to the 
basics and put the focus back on 
the characters. However, it could 
also dig the show even deeper into 
the muck, and at that point the 
show might as well disappear.

A fantastic 

opening scene 
followed by 
political BS.

Gibson and EJ Womack helped 

lead 
the 
Washtenaw 
County 

elementary school kids through 
each activity. In an interview, 
Gibson said she wanted the 
children to think about why King 
is still celebrated today.

“I ask them to tell me about 

the person Dr. King was,” Gibson 
said. “Why is he so famous? One 
first-grader said ‘he went to jail 
a lot for breaking the law but he 
was doing it for the right reason.’ 
I was impressed. My mission is 
with the students, helping them 
understand why they are here.”

When asked what he had 

learned, 
10-year-old 
Amari 

Stevens from Bishop Elementary 
said he learned that he can do 
anything.

“I learned that anything is 

possible, and we are not afraid,” 
he said.

While 
Youth 
Day 
was 

underway, 
Nontombi 
Naomi 

Tutu 
delivered 
the 
annual 

keynote memorial speech in 
Hill Auditorium, which, for the 
first time, was broadcasted live 
to several watch parties across 
campus.

Several watch parties, hosted 

by campus groups such as the 
National 
Council 
for 
Negro 

Women (NCNW) and University 
Housing, offered a live broadcast 
for students and community 
members who were unable to 
attend the event in person at 
Hill Auditorium or wished to 
experience the lecture in a smaller 
setting.

Engineering 
junior 
Sindhu 

Sreedhar said the watch parties 
presented a unique opportunity 
for student discussion in a more 
comfortable setting. Sreedhar’s 
sorority, Delta Theta Psi, hosted 
a watch party at the Michigan 
Union. She said the symposium 
was especially meaningful to her 
as a member of a multicultural 
sorority.

“Issues of racism affect us too, 

and it kind of hits closer to home,” 
Sreedhar said.

Sreedhar 
added 
that 
she 

hopes students are able to make 
connections 
between 
Tutu’s 

speech and life at the University.

“Racism is very alive,” Sreedhar 

said. “But you don’t often see it, 
especially if you’re not the one 
being affected.”

While Delta Theta Psi hosted 

their watch party at the Union, 

the University’s section of the 
National Council of Negro Women 
hosted their own viewing at the 
Michigan League.

LSA senior Lania Robinson, 

a member of the University’s 
NCNW section, said the council 
helped organize the watch party 
because they were approached by 
the University and the event fits 
with the council’s mission.

“Based on our identities as 

African American women, MLK 
day is like something that’s really 
important for us to celebrate,” 
Robinson said.

Robinson added that she hopes 

that those who attended the 
watch party learned about the 
historical significance of racism 
and how it continues to affect the 
African American community on 
campus and across the nation.

“I hope that they kind of learn 

who has suffered in the past, 
and what that means for us as a 
community,” she said.

Across campus at the School 

of Public Policy, the Students of 
Color in Public Policy hosted their 
own watch party.

Public Policy graduate student 

Jacqueline 
Barocio 
said 
she 

decided to attend SCPP’s watch 
party because it offered a way to 
step out of the everyday routine 
and to examine how racism 
operates in modern society.

“You kind of forget that 

you exist in a larger social and 
political context,” Barocio said. 
“And 
re-examining 
my 
life 

opportunities and choices are 
a deep reflection of history and 
future social justice.”

Barocio said regardless of how 

society memorializes King, his 
work continues to this day.

“Such work still continues 

and is very apparent, and is 
still a primary goal for future 
generations, including myself,” 
she said.

Following 
the 
memorial 

lecture, several groups held events 
stretching into the afternoon. 
A seminar-based forum led by 
Honors Program residential staff 
in West Quad’s Connector sought 
to offer a space where students 
could reflect on Tutu’s remarks.

The 
discussion 
focused 

on 
inquiry-based 
prompts, 

asking 
participants 
to 
think 

about areas in which they felt 
social justice was important to 
them. Responses ranged from 
workplace experiences of racial 
discrimination to student stories 
of their peers’ micro-aggressions.

Discussion facilitator and LSA 

junior Lauren Tassone, an Honors 
Program 
residential 
advisor, 

said she and her peers wanted 
to facilitate a discussion that 
addressed issues of social justice 
and what an individual’s role is in 
social change.

“Today we really wanted to 

draw on what the speaker brought 
up, and we want to make sure we 
are a part of that conversation,” 
Tassone said.

Tassone said they wanted 

students to think about how they 
could become more active in 
social change, and how to address 
social issues for people of certain 
identities.

“How can we be allies to 

those who are victims of social 
injustice?” she asked.

LSA sophomore Cooper Agar, 

who attended the discussion, said 
he came because he was interested 
in how he should articulate ideas 
of social change.

Agar said though he had his 

own ideas on racial justice, he 
wasn’t sure how to express what 
he meant to say and thought the 
forum would provide a space 
where he could share his ideas.

“I thought that it would be a 

good way to continue that internal 
dialogue,” Agar said. “But also 
start an external dialogue.”

Agar added that he he hoped 

open dialogues like the West Quad 
forum would broaden student 
understanding of racial injustice 
and discrimination.

“I think what comes out of these 

discussions is an awareness,” he 
said. “And I think that awareness 
is what’s most important.”

After West Quad’s Connector 

Forum, 
over 
100 
supporters 

gathered in the Diag for the 10th 
annual 
Michigan 
Community 

Scholars Program’s Circle of 
Unity 
in 
commemoration 
of 

Martin Luther King Jr.

Largely facilitated by students, 

the event featured song and dance 
performances from members of 
the University and Ann Arbor 
community. The Michigan Gospel 
Chorale sang a rendition of “We 
Shall Overcome.” Local artists 
Joe Reilly played the guitar and 
performed self-compositions, one 
of which was titled “Unity Circle.”

Wendy 
Cortes, 
School 
of 

Social Work graduate student, 
also delivered a speech on how to 
effectively support the civil rights 
movement.
