Boston Legal

Goodbye to Daniel Post- although his participation in this Season was minimum, it was sad to see him go, and it was so effective seeing the send of through the band, and Denise realising what had happened.



It was easily the best part of the episode for me, when she and Shirley try to find Daniels body parts! It provided so much amusement!



The other cases weren't so great this time- Alans case with Jerry was the weakest yet, but did raise some important issues. It also gave some great lines, such as Jerry making a slip in court and saying "sexual surrogate"- that had me in stitches! Lincoln is a great character, but it just didn't work for me in this episode- although it was amusing, again, in places. Lincoln killing the judge was a surprise, and provided a continued story arc which was good.



I loved the fancy dress party at the end, and the subsequent balcony scene- really well done as always, although I was sad to see Melissa depart from the show.



Overall, a good, pacy, funny episode- not at its best, but still better than most shows out there!

Let's start with Jerry. This guy has to go and give Alan Shore a new storyline. Jerry is a tired character. How many times can he get away with whatever he wants because he has a disease no one really knows about. Point made, he has severe problems, move on. Denny Crane doing the midget's mother is great! Laughed my butt off. Lincoln has to go to jail and get himself raped repeatedly to justify his role on the show. His antagonizm (sp?) of the cast is annoying and it is sad that people like him actually exist. Candice Bergen and Julie Bowen finding Michael J. Fox's head in a haunted house attraction is what reminded me Seven. Kinda messed up. All in all a great episode of the only legal comedy series that matters.

Good episode filled with laughs although this one didn\'t that much for me. How many times has Jerry screwed up only for Alan to clean up his messes? Jerry is an annoying nerd that I\'d wish would get written of the show. Predictable storyline, I knew he wouldn\'t be found guilty. The writers seem to like using him for gags and puns. The Denny and Bethany storyline is ok I guess. Denny\'s line

about hitting on mothers gave us a preview of what\'s to come. It was an unexpected that they kill of Daniel (Michael J. Fox) so soon, only to have his death also be

the focus of a gag (his missing head).





I did enjoy the Lincoln Pike storyline, you know that idiot judge would get what\'s coming to him after his distasteful insult. It seems that he will be once again part of a series of episodes. Good episode, but again didn\'t do that much for me.

Another remarkably well-written episode. The highlight may have been how Lincoln went from caricature to human to psychopath. While I was expecting a continuation of the Scott/Barbara Little story, I was happy with this subplot. I'm sure the Littles will be back later. Meanwhile we have another incestuous relationship to bide us over.



I'm also liking the Jeffery Coho character - his rivalry with Brad (and Alan Shore now) is pretty funny and he should prove to be a foil for Alan and Denny's respective sensibilities.



The Jerry case made for a good 'serious' story, though with Jerry that's pretty much impossible. And as always the jury makes the right choice - well, at least on TV there is some justice.



The Daniel Post story was my least favorite this week and I can only hope they're going somewhere with it. Still, its a shame we won't get more of Michael J Fox. But it does mean Denise is single...

"Verdict" was one of the most painful hours of television I have watched in a long time. That said, "Trick or Treat" was a return to the Boston Legal I know and love. Boston Legal is at it's best when the characters and storylines are over the top, and last night was a perfect example.



Shirley and Denise's search for the missing body parts of Daniel Post was the highlight of the episode, especially when they finally find his missing head. Candice Bergen and Julie Bowen have perfect chemistry together. Scenes when them are almost as good as scenes with Shatner and Spader. Also, I loved that Denny was not as upset about the fact that he might be dating his daughter as he was about the fact that he might have produced a midget. And Shatner and Spader looked great in drag!



Christian Clemenson was terrific as always as the quirky Jerry Espenson, though I have to admit, I am getting a bit tired of the only cases Alan defending lately are Jerry's many accidental run-ins with the law. It feels like it is building up to something, and I am definitely curious what it is.



My only gripe about this episode was that we still haven't gotten rid of all the treads from the long-running murdered judge storyline that really bogged down the beginning of the season. Craig Bierko doesn't really add anything to the show to me, and him being the focus of that storyline really took away from what makes BL so unique. More humor, less angst!
