tenayaYet another delightful episode! I do enjoy NCIS and House, but Boston Legal is pure enjoyment. I was reading a column of TV Guide's Matt Roush and between what he said and his readers said, I guess some folks don't like it because it comes across as preachy because the characters line up and give a speech about their view. While that format is correct, it doesn't seem preachy to me because of how it's done. I am constantly surprised by the characters and the situations, and am thrilled by the boldness of the writing. It's very political but the strokes are so broad, I laugh even when they are making fun of things I agree with (and of course, when they make fun of the other side, I'm gleeful.) Alan and Denny are fun and quite sweet together. I'm just totally charmed by the whole package.
I loved the balcony scene. "You waited up for me." I loved it when Denny said he was thinking of running for mayor and Alan said they wouldn't be able to be flamingos again. Denny was quick to reassure him they would be able to. So sweet. I swear for a second I thought Denny was leaning forward to kiss Alan. The B plot about beastiality was quite amusing, too. And watching Alan struggle with his fear of clowns was wonderful. It was nice to see him do more than look smug or amused. "You do have issues, don't you?" He he he!
House
Very slashy that bit about House running an experiment on Wilson to see how much money he could borrow, how much their friendship was worth. I loved Wilson's comeback. Interesting that he'd said that House looked good unshaven. *g*
Well, I have to go to bed now. Reg has to be nothing by mouth for 12 hours before his ultrasound and it's about time for him to get up and demand food. Maybe if I'm not here, he'll go back to bed quicker and sleep through his hunger. I have to say I'd love to be a fly on the wall while they do this. Apparently the bladder is included in the procedure so I imagine they'll run their probe over his tummy. Reg is very proper; he thinks tummy rubbing is inappropriate touch. The poor cat will be scandalized!
Anyway, I've got that new Daniel/Teal'c zine to read. Whoo hoo!

Date: 2005-11-13 12:45 pm (UTC)I'm sure his passivity and compliance is one of the reasons the staff like him so much. And the purring. Actually, the vet tech that returned him to Mom said nice things about him. Said that he'd chirp at her everytime she passed the cage and said hello to him, but after a while, he turned his back on her. He was probably asking for something to eat and got annoyed at being ignored. *g*
As for what I know, I won't repeat it here, but I made a post about it on Nov. 10.
