In light of recent events in London and Glasgow, the remark made by Alan that assumed a doctor would be automatically ineligible for Guantanamo was made even more absurd given the knowledge, albeit obviously not of Boston Legal's writers, that Usama's second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, is the head al Qaeda doctor.
I also thought Denny overdid the "Americans just don't care" line. Okay; so, we get it - the writers hate the war and anything related to it and Bush. But denigrating the most charitable nation on earth alla Michael Moore is gratuitous and unbecoming a show of Boston Legal's usual quality.
Americans seem to want to distance themselves from America in order to be thought of as acceptable - good and decent people and they do it by knocking their own country to the point of beating a dead horse. The script was hackneyed.moreless
AIRED:
Alan and Denny's political differences again come into play when they defend an innocent man who was held at Guantanamo Bay for 2 years.
Meanwhile, upset at the lack of humanity at his private practice, Jerry begs Shirley to give him back his old job, despite having held a knife to her throat the year before.moreless

TRIVIA (3)
ADD TRIVIA-
This episode features a unique opening credits sequence, with Jerry singing the Boston Legal theme song along with the actual music. A few character shots of the main cast are replaced by images of Jerry singing, continuing the scene from the teaser. One character shot of Candice Bergen is replaced by her character's reaction to Jerry's singing.

QUOTES (5)
ADD QUOTES-
Denny: Women.
Alan: Can't live with them
Denny: Can't take them quail hunting. -
Alan: I realize that jurisdiction barriers are prohibitive. We don't let little things like the law stand in our way in this great country. The law for example recognizes the Geneva Convention, but we say the hell with it. The law has very strict regulations on domestic wire-tapping, we say the hell with it. The law says if you shoot someone with a shotgun mistaking him for a quail, you should call the police.
-
Jerry: (to Shirley) My hopes are so high, I have to do a higher hop just to see them!
-
Denny: This is America. Human rights are so yesterday here.
-
Denny: (to Bethany) Alright, don't tell me. Denny I never want to see you again... The little ones are the most unstable.
