Boston Legal

This was a lot darker than the previous episode, but it was also just as brilliant- showing how well Boston Legal combines the two.



Shirley's plot and storyline was so dramatic and heart-rendering- the writing is simply brilliant, and excellently delivered. Finding out her father has alzeimers was also heart-rendering.



The light humour provided by Denise's case was much needed, though slightly silly. It made me laugh how many weird clients this firm has.



Alan's hiring of the new secretary got him into a little bit of trouble, but I loved his placid relationship with Melissa- the night terrors were another monumental piece of acting from Jame's Spader. It was also touching him going to the MRI with Denny as well, showing how they really do care for each other.



Overall, another fantastic episode- this Season was the one that pulled out all the stops.

This episode was mainyl about Shirley. In this episode she is forced to take advantage of a person with memory disease, but the whole thing hits a little too close to home for Shirely when we find out her father is a sufforer. Meanwhile Alan has seriously bad night terrors that put his life at risk. So much that he has to hire his pay some one to watch over him in bed. Meanwhile Denise defends a man who enjects ass fat into his patients. Overall this was a good episode. Really liked finding out a little more about Shirely. Anyway as always can't wait for the next episode.

This episode let me know more about Shirley Schmidt. I have always thought that she is there to control the situation, as opposed to Paul who is a typical boss, Shirley is about right.



However, this episode show the soft side as well as the human and weak side of her. She felt pain and guilty that she had to defend that "hit-and-run" boy and posting hostile questions to that tiny and humble but sharp old alzheimer lady in the court. She almost broke into tears. (and me too!!)



At the end of the day, she visited her father in the hospital, and told the father, she had won a case today in the court, but not the best case she has ever wanted.



As a viewer, you tend to judge her character and her decision to defend that boy. However, as a human, usually we fall into such trap, and at the end of the day, we will feel bad, and guilty and yes, that will be a black dot in your life, but yet, life still goes on!!

Its hard to play a part that is so surreal for

Shirely and her relationship with her Dad.

Shore needs psychotic help, where is Tara when

you need that girl. Thank you Denny Crane for regarding your mental issues. Denise is ok for a

lawyer, but to be honest her two (2) associates steal the show when it comes to her introduction.

This probably was the least silly episode to date, as it dealt w/ Denny's potential alzheimer's in a courtcase brought by Candice Bergen. To see real emotion and real issues w/ these characters was a refreshing change of pace. We learned more about Shirley's character, and the relationship between Denny and Alan continues to become more odd, yet more endearing. Go figure. Julie Bowen also starred in a humorous, but not too over-the-top case about a doctor injecting his own ass fat in his client's faces. Overall, a more dramatic episode - and even the best comedy on T.V. needs to change it up once in a while.

I'm sure this is done in reality without people knowing but gross! The last two episodes were just plain stupid. Between the cow and the butt fat I think I'm going to stop watching this show for a while. I want to be entertained not grossed out during my dinner.
