more detail.... Denny loves those damn guns!! LMAO
BOSTON LEGAL - "Gone" - While Denise Bauer shops with her housekeeper and the woman's four-year-old son, the unthinkable happens when the boy is kidnapped by a known pedophile. An FBI special agent tells them that technicalities prevent the Bureau from getting involved, but he strongly suggests that, as private citizens, Denise and Brad Chase conduct their own investigation. Their frantic search eventually takes them to Father Ryan (Richard Fancy), a priest who refuses to help since he can't break his confessional seal. Meanwhile, a homeless man throws a rock at Denny Crane for not acknowledging his request for money and Denny shoots him - with a paintball gun. When the man shows up at Crane, Poole & Schmidt for compensation, Denny adamantly refuses to consider his request, but Alan Shore takes the man's case, pitting the friends against each other, on "Boston Legal," TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6 (10:00 -11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network. (ABC/CRAIG SJODIN)

well, I've seen a couple of previews... this one looks soooo good I'm excited! I wonder if the New Orleans part of the storyline got cut - maybe it was too soon. . .

Hey guys!!! I doubt if they cut the storyline- remember, they tend to promote one storyline that stronger or thr "lead" story and then there is always the "secondary" story-that's not promoted as much-if at all!!! I know we'll see James in there somewhere-with William
Alan Shore: What's your specialty? Dr. Allen Konigsberg: Couples' counseling. I first saw the client and his wife together. Since the divorce I've been working with him alone. Alan Shore: So they came to you to improve their relationship, and now one wants to kill the other. Not your best work, was it, doctor?

Looks like they did cut out the part where the homeless guy was going to sue the government because his wife died in the hurricane. I wonder if that was due to any pressure from above after the small uproar from the anti-war trial episode. At any rate, they left it as Alan trying to convince Denny he should care about the plight of the poor. Later references to the hurricane victims didn't make nearly as much sense - except as an example of the plight of the poor.
I watched this episode just after watching my tape of this morning's TP rerun, "Avenging Angels". Talk about a jarring switch from the "old" to the "new" Alan Shore! You kind of have to be in a different mood. But at least they look the same!! The whole Alan-and-Denny-roped-together-in-bed scene was hilarious. I bet they had fun filming that.

I hope somebody else posts something because I feel lonely.
It occurred to me, thinking some more about the apparent change in the storyline, I wonder if that is one reason they didn't have a show on for those two weeks - perhaps they had to do a lot of refilming and editing?

Wow, just did a quick BL google search and found this reference to last night's episode on a blog dedicated to "exposing and combating liberal media bias". Now tell me THIS guy (a responder to the blog) isn't deranged:
December 7, 2005 - 03:33 Boston Legal's other story summary (in case you actually care...)
William Shatner's character, Denny Crane (D.C.- wink, wink) and his liberal, homosexual, night-terrorized lawyer buddy (James Spader) are walking down the street chatting. A homeless man (black) asks for a handout, but D.C. and Spader do not hear him.
The homeless man "rises up" and throws a rock at D.C., hitting him in the back of the head. D.C. pulls out a paint gun and shoots the homeless man in the forehead.
Homeless man tries to sue, but can't get a lawyer to take the case (D.C. keeps warning the homeless guy that since he, Denny, has money, he wins!)
Spaderman feels sorry for the homeless man and recognizes that nobody else will represent him, so he takes the case himself. Long story short: Spader feels the homeless man IS entitled to something (because our Federal Response to Katrina was so terrible, afterall) and decides to write the homeless guy a personal check for $75,000 BECAUSE he values his friendship with D.C. over "justice" in the end.
The show ends with Mr. Sex-Lies-And-Videotape mumbling something about 37 million impoverished people in this country for the third or fourth time in the program."
Okay, we all know DEK leans to the left and that Alan has become the liberal voice vs Denny's conservative voice in their friendly debates. But this nut pretty much intertwines Alan (homosexual? LOL) with Spader, as if they are one and the same and ... well, what can I say. Very bizarre. I just shouldn't have gone there.

I'm here..at last! Hello everybody, what a wonderful episode we saw last night! I must confess that most of the time i don't care much for the non-Spader related stories but last night's storyline with Brad Chase was such a treat!! Dana must be quite pleased with her guy...so heroic and purposeful and fearless and FUNNY! Oh! i don't want to give away the scene envolving a priest and a cat...that was the best so won't spoil it for those who'll be watching later Dont miss it!!
The first two minutes were so funny...Alan finds himself tethered to Denny ...taking a pratfall twice...and then being stubborn and childish "you have to go to the bathroom with me" "no your are not going to the bathroom" very funny tug-of-war...i love it when they get silly and "kidlike"...oh! and what about when DC lets it slip...loudly that he and Alan are "sleeping together" Alan's sly, mischievous little smile was worth a million.
NO waste this episode was so good from beginning to end. loved it!

Wow. Harsh. Yeah, it's a little scary that people mix up Alan Shore the character with the real JS. They are two different people! (Of course, in all fairness, the show does get really cliche in its liberal/conservative arguments, but, if the guy doesn't like it, he doesn't have to watch)
Anyway, aside from that, I really liked last nights ep. The thing with the priest was so shocking!! And the Alan and Denny bedroom scene was so cute! Also, it is interesting to note how much the Alan Shore character has changed. Remember the very first episode of The Practice when he was so reluctant to defend that homeless man? He said something like "homeless people don't like me, it's a cultural thing." or something, and now, here he is, a champion to their cause. It would be kind of cool if they would've pointed that out during this ep. Instead Alan comes across as having always been a kind-hearted soul, which really isn't the case. In the past he has been much more complex, and didn't always do the right thing.
