Boston Legal Back in Black
November 29th, 2006 in TV
“Boston Legal” debuted last night after a several week hiatus, and personally, I can’t say I blame ABC for keeping “Boston Legal” for an extra couple of weeks or so, or at least, I can’t blame them too much.
“Hands” is once again in the plot, and at this point, I find myself questioning why they don’t just make Christian Clemenson a lead in the show. He already won an Emmy for his performance as Jerry “Hands” Espenson - it seems only natural to make him a part of the show, as currently Alan Shore is spending too much time backtracking to Jerry and not enough time engaging the rest of the cast. And yes, I know Jerry held a knife to Shirley’s throat last season, but c’mon, are you telling me there’s anyone crazier in this place than Denny Crane?
All ranting aside, the episode finds Alan and Jerry defending a mentally imbalanced woman suspected of hanging her ex-lover. Denny Crane not finds out Bethany is not her daughter, but that her mother is every bit as determined in pursing him as he is to Bethany. Denise is still reeling from Daniel Post’s death, and might just take Alan Shore on a pretty explicit offer. And of course, Brad and Jeff come to blows in the bathroom.
The ending, however, is the most dynamite addition - one which explains just why ABC held on to this morsel of “Boston Legal” for so long, as murdering pervert Lincoln kidnaps Shirley.
