Josh Charles is acutely aware of fans investment inThe Good Wife.
Thats the fascinating thing about TV.
Peoples reactions are intense, he says, laughing.

And most people are really, really sweet, and its great.
He should prepare for more enthusiastic fan encounters after tonights season 2 finale.
(Its a dream sequence.
Its a dream sequence, he tried to tell us.
Until we shouted, No, its not!
at him, very professionally, and he admitted he was just toying with us.)
Theres no dream sequence going on here, he confirms.
These turn of events and everything thats happening really do push Will and Alicia closer together as friends.
Truly, I think he cares for her a great deal.
Of all the moral ambiguity of that character, its probably one of the most honest emotions he has.
I cant really analyze why people like things or dont like things, because I dont really know.
Theyre looking at a relationship like someones mother.
No ones ever gonna be good enough, he says, laughing again.
Its not as quiet of a dynamic.
Even if theres stuff going on, they just feel like they get each others rhythms well.
Co-creator Robert King directed the episode, his first of the series.
I hope he directs more, Charles says.
He knows tonally what hes trying to hit.
Weve always sorta been joking about it, like When are they gonna put us together?
So that was really special for me.
There are a lot of twists, turns, and surprises in the hour, Charles promises.
I think these last four episodes each could have been a season-ending episode.
Each one, youre like, Jesus, this is riveting.
How are they gonna top this?
I felt like they kept doing it.
Hopefully youll agree with me.
Maybe not everybody will, but thats okay.
I dont think the aim should be that everybody should be pleased all the time.
To me, that usually means youre not doing something right, he says.
Those recent events have also pushed Will and Kalinda closer together, too, he notes.
I think fans will be excited.
