'Good Wife' leaves viewers shocked, bereaved

Thanks for the spoiler, JT!

aaaaand..... now all the fun has gone from the episode....thank you

I've never watched this drama series and have never heard of the actor, but it's not good at all to go chucking spoilers around like that. Not cricket at all.

Still, I don't understand how people can get so upset over a fictional character in a TV show. Group hugs? Counselling? Really? That's even more shocking than the spoiler.

You do realize, JT, that almost nobody in Japan who wanted to see this would have seen it yet?

Spoiler alert, please!!!

Wow, I get JT in a news feed with a preview of the first few lines of the article, so I had no chance of not seeing this spoiler.. Thanks

I'll assume that the people complaining about this spoiler don't use Twitter. Or any website other than JT, for that matter. This is all over the internet, folks - not just here.

One of the "dangers" of using sports and entertainment feeds from news services halfway around the world. I will say that JT has had this happen before, so people really shouldn't be surprised. If 'spoilers" are that heart wrenching for you, perhaps monitoring JT isn't the best coice for you. Just sayin'.

As always, thank you JT...

Wait I am not following is this actual news of an actual death or some fictionalized made up television death?

Unfortunately saw this on twitter already.

'The Good Wife' may just be the best drama on TV right now.

I never understood why Will Gardner is put forward as some kind of heart-throb. Ladies, your thoughts?

Well, NHK is behind a season on airing the series.

JT wasn't the only spoiler, but it could have passed on this story when considering there is always a time lag on U.S./U.K. shows (at least a day, but usually months).

Having said that, there was only about a half-minute of buildup when it happened, so the moment was kind of "meh?" No more worries about attorney-client privilege in this arc.

Only a half-minute of buildup to the event, but thinking back on the episode, there was a lot of foreshadowing.

I have to agree with the 'shame on JT' for the spoiler though. If I had not already seen it, I would have been choked from reading it.

As a regular faithful viewer of 'The Good Wife' I was shocked to see Gardner being shot. Subsequent googling the development I understood what had been going on prior to this climax. A simple and popular way to explain away stars leaving a show is to kill them off. It surely means the star is not coming back. It may also mean many viewers are not coming back. That's the nature of things. The spoiler was easy to be found on the net. No need to lambast JT. As for me, I'll continue to watch the show - for now.
