Boston Legal s2e3 Desperately Seeking Shirley
Oct 4th, 2006 by Ashley
Alan Shore is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!! (well, sorta)
\\**fireworks**//
So let’s talk about Alan first. Ivan Tiggs came to the firm asking Shirley if there’s a back door left on the post-nup (post-nuptual agreement), but apparently Shirley made a rather solid post-nup so they end up at court. And Alan agreed to be his lawyer even though Shirley ordered him not to. Two gloomy episodes, our head-held-high Alan was finally back. Love watching him fight and annoy people.
Alan called Shirley on witness stand which pissed Shirley off.
Shirley: Your resume intact?
Alan: Shirley, you’re being retaliatory; it becomes you.
And at the end, of course we learned that deep down, Alan was trying to help Shirley avoid repeating her mistake. (But from the preview of next episode, things get ridiculous… ~_~)
Back to Coho line. Denise was still on this judge-murderer case but being simply wallflower again. Coho was continuously funny.
Someone: You disgust me. Coho: Already?
Coho: Why does everyone in Boston just stare at me?
We had a few twists in this storylines. DA approached the defendent which made the judge angry and also made the defendent doubt his lawyers. And we found out that the shrink didn’t hand the kid’s tape over to the police after the murder but to the victim’s husband before the murder took place. The kid’s dad also showed up and was to testify against his son. What a mess.
Denny & Midget.
Claire helped Denny with the “case” and pointed out that she’s fallen in love with Denny thus the reaction. But this line became kinda stupid at the end. Don’t know if they’ll help her win the case in the next episode.
Balcony scene, as Raura said, was not as touching and sensible as what it used to be in the second season… I want witty, warm, fun balcony scene back!!!!
Notes from TV.com:
Another mini Star Trek reunion happened: Armin Shimmerman (ST DS9 Quark) and Ethan Phillips (ST Voy Neelix) guest star in this episode.
