you do know...
And you do know why ALL CAPS were used, don't you?
Or don't you?
Boston Legal started out great but was clearly on a decline, particularly with this last season. Or maybe it was just this last season. And the last few episodes became so preachy and pedantic that they were getting old, quickly. Alan's tirades became tiring. The running joke "...another long closing?" became more entertaining than the closings.
They got rid of Clarice; now if only Betty White takes a shot to the head from SWAT. There were a ton of walk ons that did nothing for the show. Yet they are dredged up from time to time.
I don't know how it will end, but I hope it will be merciful. And any ending will be more merciful than going on for another season.
I would quite like to see a shot where Katie (Tara Summers) is caught riding Jerry (Christian Clemenson) reverse cowgirl. (And maybe Denny doing Rome, literally, along with the midget.)
There were some outstanding moments in almost every episode, some subtle, some not so much. I hope the finalé lives up to that.
The Denny/Alan scenes were some of the best of the entire series, maybe in television, especially the balcony stuff. And Candice Bergen was great; she may have saved the show, allowing us to see more Denny/Alan.
I won't *miss* the show, but am and always will be glad I watched it.
