Boston Legal season 2 ongoing thread (1 Viewer)

I agree, Parker. The new cast additions do not bring much to the party. They are certainly much less interesting than, say, Rhona Mitra, IMO. Maybe as we learn more about them, my opinion will change.

 

[Joseph DeMartino]

Mike Monti: Thanks.

Parker: You're absolutely right.

Gary: HMMMMmmmmmm... Rhona Mitra...

The humor content was high, I also lost it when Denny pops a cap in the perp's knee at the courthouse. The beastiality case was pushing it a bit, and Alan's fear of clowns got some chuckles from me.

Everytime I see Alan's character get all squimish. He reverts to the look of the snivly character he played in Mannequin.

And yet another week of national politics commentary. :rolleyes

Denny Crane!!

 

[Randy Tennison]

Self Defense. Denny Crane!!

Shirley's case was painful to watch, and after the reveal with her own father, lawyering might be a high-paying job, but it sure can test your own humanity.

The rest was semi-interesting or entertaining.

I think Boston Legal just jumped the you-know-what, but I don't care, I LOL heartily when Brad chopped off 3 fingers of a priest who wouldn't open up his office as he and Denise were looking for info on a kidnapping pedophile.
OMG, that was a nutty scene.

Denny's popping a homeless person with a paintball gave DEK a soapbox for the New Orleans Hurricane Katrina situation.

 

[Parker Clack]

I think the last few episodes have been some of their best.

Dean Crane!
Nancy Grace!
Denny Crane!!
Nancy Grace!

If Shatner and Spader don't get Emmy's again this year I will be totally floored.

I was wondering what they could call the new show. The show were Denny and Alan leave the firm to start up their own practice and have the new show only about them.

I seriously believe that they could show the two of them walk into an empty building at the end of this season, look around the building and then set down a sign that said "Crane and Shore" as the name of their new company. Not one of the other cast would be missed.

You're probably right, Parker! But too much of a good thing might be bad... After all, without the other characters to pull us away from Alan and Denny, we'd never get a chance to miss their screentime.

I just started watching Boston Legal this season, and am completely hooked. Along with LOST (and the upcoming season 5 of "24"), it's one of the few shows I make a point to watch each week.

Was the first season just as good? Is it out on DVD?

Last nights episode was amusing to see the further craziness Kelley injects in his shows.

Of course the Shatner bits are why I tune in. The cell phone that made the Star Trek communicator sound was a nice touch of the further winking to the audience. I enjoyed "hands" going coo-coo.

 

[Parker Clack]

Nelson:


Shatner and Spader make the show. The cell phone/communicator bit was classic.

 

[Patrick Sun]

I loved Alan taking Shirley down a peg or two. When Alan gets ornery, he's much more fun to watch. Too bad Hands had to go schizo.

The Michael J. Fox guest turn wasn't as good as I had hoped (for now). But you can't blame a dying rich man for wanting to sleep with good looking ladies.

 

[Marty M]

It was interesting to see Scrubs having a similar story line to the Michael J. Fox storyline on BL.

 

[Parker Clack]

I have been missing the Alan Shore smack downs of late. When he gets going it is poetry in motion.

 

[Randy Tennison]

I had to rewind my TIVO to make sure about the communicator sound. Really funny.

And then, did any notice the name of the pharmaceutical company that was testing the cancer drug Michael J. Fox got? Devlin McGregor! Which is the name of the pharmaceutical company in The Fugitive (which made Provasic, the heart drug that Harrison Ford's wife was killed to protect).

I have to admit, this show is a lot of fun to watch.

 

[Greg_C_T]

What was the ring tone that was playing before he opened the phone? I assumed it was something Trek-related, but couldn't decipher anything.

Great episode--as others have said, Alan's smackdown was excellent as always!

 

[Randy Tennison]

It was the communicator beep from Star Trek. Of course, it was a flip phone, so Shatner could open it like a communicator.

 

[Raasean Asaad]

Nice episode last night, The Denny and Alan dancing scene was well done as always although to me it sounded like Alan had a cold all night whenever he had any dialogue.

What was the outcome for the teacher case? I missed the judgement.

 

[Shayne Lebrun]

In favour of the teacher; the parents can call once per three weeks, and one parent/teacher meeting per term.
