Boston Legal

Another wonderful episode of this Season.



Alan tries to defend Jerry for attempting to kill Shirley- theres something about Jerry which is so heart warming (he does become one of my favourite characters on the show), and I liked how Alan realised he had Aspergers. Shirley showing compassion was great also, and it really does show the depth of her moral character.



Daniel Post returns this episode, and I liked the second chairing case with Denise- hes a very good lawyer! It was brilliant to see, but also quite sad. The scene with him and Denny was hilarious, and he has such good chemistry with Denise- the discussion in his bed and Denise looking for cancer cures was heart rendering.



Denny provided some good entertainment as always- the scene with him and Alan dancing was brilliant! Nevertheless, the threat of his pending nupitals seem to be getting him into trouble- Paul and Denny are certainly clashing over it. The balcony scene was as rememberable as always- inclusing Alan's brief but enjoyable scene with Bev (who I have never been sure if I have liked).



Overall, the Season continues its perfect streak. Utter brilliance.

it's just a kind of touching,when talented guy get wrong method to handle his motive,when successful business man get deep to feel his emotion and help to the real society, when naughty old man get falling new spring love. Helping hands, yes helping or more insight with the sympathy,sincerity and humanity . that's always means and touching. i love this episode. also Michael J Fox has expressed me by his acting. and i guess if possible to enrich this character by adding some stuff , like his child, his initiate friends . hope to his recurring again. looking forwarding new.

So Alan tries to defend hands. But Shirley makes it difficult for Alan to get him off the hook. Anyway Denise's relationship with Daniel grows and she tries a case with him. Meanwhile the firms partners are concerned about the possible repercussins of Denny's pending nuptials. I really thought this was a good episode. I can understand why Jerry snapped. In this episode he and Alan bond and become good friends. I also can understand where Shirley is coming from. So as usual i cannot wait for the next episode. Season 2 is coming up with some really great episodes.

I thought that it was a good episode and as a person with Asperger\'s it was good that they promoted awareness of the condition. However I thought that the story was weak when the character of Jerry refused to get an official diagnosis, without this the person cannot be confirmed to have the condition thus weakening the storyline. That being said the condition was protrayed very well in my opinion.

I loved this episode. This was the second episode that I saw (the first one being last week's). There were a lot of funny parts and some sad parts. I loved the part at the beginning when Denny was singing with his fiancé Beverly. I thought that the short scene between Denny and Daniel Post was funny as well. Also, the scene where Denny and Alan Shore were dancing was hilarious ("I can't here you. Vietnamese wall."). And then there was the part at the end with Alan and Denny. This wasn't really funny, but it did show how strong their friendship was, when Alan said that Beverly makes Denny happy, and that's all he needs to know about her for him to like her.



And then there was the part where Alan was representing "Hands." I thought this was a very good story. I loved when "Hands" didn't want to use the fact that he had Asperger's syndrome to win the case because it would mean that he would not be able to find a job as a lawyer ever again. And then at the end, Alan tried to get Shirley Schmidt to let "Hands" get help treating the Asperger's syndrome, saying that it would be the just thing to do, and she agrees.



Finally, the reason I started watching last week. The story with Michael J. Fox, who plays the character Daniel Post. This week he gets more scenes than last week. I loved this story. In the last episode, his character was a greedy rich man, who started to show regret for what he did. In this episode, he helped Denise with the trial. He had some really great scenes in this episode. I loved the part in the courtroom when he and Denise were badgering the witness with all of the questions, and when the judge sustains the objection, they use it to say that nobody deserves to be badgered like that. I also love the scene at the end, when he stays in the courtroom just sitting there when everybody else is leaving. As usual, Michael J. Fox does a wonderful acting job.



This, as well as the previous episode, was so good that I will continue to watch the show even after Michael J. Fox's guest appearances are done.

This was a surprisingly touching episode. Alan stood up for Jerry "Hands" Espenson. At first, it appeared that Alan was letting his idealistic side get a hold of his rational side, but as the story developed, we saw some reasons for his concern about Jerry. It was bittersweet to see Jerry shuffle off down the hall at the end. Yes, he had escaped from the possibility of jail time or an official diagnosis of a mental condition (Asperger's Syndrome), but he has lost his job and his place at Crane, Poole & Schmidt. Hopefully he gets some help, but he faces continued difficulties ahead.



I found the scene with Daniel Post seated in the empty courtroom poignant and heartbreaking. It was pretty obvious that the scene was meant to portray Michael J. Fox's real-life battle against Parkinson's disease. He didn't have to act much to show that lost look of helplessness and despair as he savored the atmosphere of the courtroom one last time. The parallels nearly made the Daniel Post storyline a pseudo-documentary.



I really like when the show explores the vulnerable side of its characters, including guest stars. It makes one reflect on one's own life, what we have to be thankful for and what we could do better. The episode turned out to be an intimate little masterpiece.
