I am very excited/paranoid about the move. Waiting for forms and paperwork to come in the post is doing my head in. Don't know why they can't just email everything. But it will be good once all the details are sorted.
And yeah, I'm quite fascinated by the way The Good Wife plays on gender. It's really very interesting and sophisticated. It would have been so easy for them to make Alicia's rival someone who was sexually confident and successful because her perceived frigidity is why her husband appeared to stray. They haven't really addressed it in the show but I'm guessing she feels at least a little insecure about her sexual abilities. But instead they went to a different place for her two main female rivals and now that I think about it, they are still playing off two important aspects of her character - her innocence and her motherhood. So Nancy and Patti do act as foils for Alicia, just not in ways that most other shows would do.
