I have added three lovely video clips of Tuesday’s The Good Wife episode, including of course the ones with Jill Flint. Now in other news, more information about the Women in the World Summit has been released. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be introducing the ensemble reading of SEVEN, a documentary play that honors courageous women activists from seven countries. The play was created by a collaboration of seven women playwrights, and will feature Meryl Streep, Marcia Gay Harden, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Tony-nominated Julyana Soelistyo, Lauren Vélez, and Archie Panjabi. The conference will take place at The Hudson Theatre at Millennium Broadway in New York City March 12-14 and is sponsored by HP, Exxon Mobil, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs’ 10,000 Women. Find out more here.
The Good Wife was back with a new episode last night. I really enjoyed it. I love the scene with Kalinda giving Alicia advise – how she leaves and then comes back again. I also liked seeing Kalinda with her FBI friend. Plus, how great is Alan Cumming. I think he’s absolutely brilliant for the role – too bad his swearing has been censored, it would have made the character even more believable. TGW will be back next week with another new episode.

This year Archie will take part in The Daily Beast’s Women in the World Summit. Over three days the summit “will showcase the stories of outstanding women leaders fighting sex trafficking, child marriage, and other challenges holding back women and girls. Featuring Meryl Streep, Her Majesty Queen Rania, and activists from across the globe, watch here for extensive coverage and opportunities to get involved.”
Archie will take part in an ensemble reading of SEVEN, a documentary play that tells the courageous stories of women from seven countries, at the Hudson Theatre in New York.
As you can see Archie-Panjabi.Com has a brand new look. This wonderful light look was designed by Cam over @ AlexisAndLauren.Com . She did a fantastic job. I love the new look and I hope you do too. Matt has been kind enough to send me a video of Archie on the panel of the BBC’s World Cinema Awards. This will be added shortly so you can look forward to that. CBS has released a preview for next week’s The Good Wife episode 1×15 Bang. Take a look here:
First things first: Five clips of episode 1×14 “HI” have been added to the video archive including ,of course, the awesome trail scene. Archie talked to the New York Post telling some really sweet anecdotes about filming The Good Wife . When they’re not filming a scene, the two actors do improv skits where they play two British girls in a pub.
“She’s so good at the accents, it just makes me cry with laughter. My makeup runs,” Panjabi says. “The accent changes up north. Becomes deeper. We improvise. Even the crew gets distracted.”
The Good Wife will return to CBS with new episodes on Tuesday March 2. Episode 1×15 is entitled “Bang”. Alan Cumming will guest-star which will be great I’m sure. Here’s the description:
While Peter gets acclimated to life at home and works on a comeback strategy with his political team, including Eli Gold (Alan Cumming “Cabaret,” “The L Word”), Alicia and Diane wrestle with spousal privilege laws in a murder case that hinges on their ability to get a wife to testify against her husband, on THE GOOD WIFE, Tuesday, March 2
Screen captures of last night’s The Good Wife episode “Hi” have been added to the gallery. I really enjoyed this episode. Lots of Kalinda and it was somehow fresher than usual – exploring new things. Kalinda’s testimony was really something so clever and subtle. And how awesome was that ending with Will and Diane and their proposal? The show just keeps getting more enjoyable. That’s why it’s so sad that there won’t be any new episodes for a while. I am not sure when the show will return with new ones but there will be reruns for at least the next two weeks.
So as it turns out Archie did indeed attend the Screen Actors Guild Awards earlier this year. I thought she didn’t because there were no pictures to be found. As it turns out most people tagged Archie as ‘guest’ so she didn’t show up when searched for. Anyway I have finally taken the time to collect the small amount of images I could find – and I came up with seven. Those have been added to the gallery.
I also want to point you in the direction of a lovely behind the scenes video which Archie that CBS just released on their website . She talks a little bit about the show’s success, Kalinda’s wardrobe and working in America – but she also hints at Kalinda’s past, her childhood. Be sure to check the video out.
Three clips of Tuesday’s episode “Bad” have been added to the video archive.
New York Magazine recently did a great little interview with Archie. Youi can read the whole interview here Here’s a little snippet:
Though I have to say, your work wardrobe is a little unbelievably sexy.
Kalinda’s style has certainly evolved. In the pilot, she actually wore jeans, but the costume designer wanted to get a little more of her personality tied up in her looks, so now her clothes are very fitted. Usually, if a character wears sexy clothes to feel confident, they get accused of being cheap or tacky. So I love that with Kalinda, we get a balance. She’s not dressing like that to seduce men; she feels like her clothes are in vogue, and she wants to wear them. And she’s not afraid of that.
It’s also interesting that it’s never addressed that you’re Indian.
Yeah, I really like that they’ve accepted me as an investigative attorney who dresses the way she does, and there’s never any mention about my race. She’s accepted for her job, and it’s quite nice that they haven’t tackled that. You don’t even know where I’m from, which is also quite interesting. I’m sure in time you’ll see a few cracks in the characters, you get a window into each of their lives, but just enough to continue to guess.
Also: I will add pictures of Archie at the SAG awards shortly. Thanks to Jess for tipping me off about that.
Last night’s episode of “The Good Wife” had Kalinda showing off her knowledge of guns. A scared Diane let Kalinda teach her about the right gun and how to shoot it. Here’s a description for next week’s episode “hi”:
As Alicia (Julianna Margulies) and Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) defend a husband accused of murdering the babysitter, she and her family prepare for the outcome of Peter’s appeal and his possible homecoming, on THE GOOD WIFE, Tuesday Feb. 9
Just a little update during the drought period: Congratulations to Julianna Margulies for winning yet another award (SAG) for The Good Wife and congratulations to the show for being picked up for a second season. I also wanted to share this little piece of an interview Matt Czuchry recently did. Here’s what he said about Kalinda and Cary:
The online fandom seems to write a lot about Cary and Kalinda’s flirtation; is that something that was written or something you and Archie [Panjabi] decided to play around and have fun with?
- That’s something that kind of developed in the episode that Rod Holcomb directed– the episode titled “Conugal” (which re-ran this past Tuesday). It was just something that wasn’t necessarily on the page, but Archie and I and Rod talked about putting in there a little bit. Based off of what they saw, the Kings– the writers– [responded well] to that interaction and added more to it.
Can you give any teasers or any spoilers about their relationship? I am sure you guys have shot a bunch of scenes and episodes that we have not yet been privy to.
- There’s actually a couple of big plot points as far as that relationship is concerned, so I can’t really hint at it without giving some major plot points away.
