Finally saw Boston Legal last night

[jack_ryder]

after being badgered by three disparate friends all in the same week.

and you've converted me: Shatner is great playing some kind of bizarre version of himself (though I think Shatner did give a truly great performance once, in Corman's "Intruder") but James Spader is magnificent - I couldn't take my eyes off him  - he's a lot pudgier than I remember him, but damn! what a fine actor.

of course, it doesn't hurt having Candice Bergin and Rene Auberjonois in the cast as well but they weren't in this episode as much.

Guess I'll have to find the dvds of the first season...

I've only been a fan for a handful of episodes, so I'll be VERY interested in the DVDs!!! Take note of how the camera keeps zooming in on the hand gestures during an episode. Shatner referred to himself as having Mad Cow disease in a recent episode, and I haven't seen enough of his weirdness to know whether it was a joke...
