The Shore portion of the Trib article (god, I miss that paper)

Alan Shore (James Spader),"The Practice." Here's a character who at first was such a jerk, he was almost unwatchable. Over time, he has become a noble, even heroic, jerk. Shore makes fun of poor lawyer Jimmy Berluti (Michael Badalucco) and matter-of-factly propositions paralegal Tara Wilson (Rhona Mitra). It all makes Shore, the center of a spinoff series next season, constantly fun, compelling and, because of his deep-seated flaws, even tragic to watch.


Water polo team now has funding for nationals. Am psyched.

Congratulations and I think I need to send that to a friend of mine who insisted tonight that Alan Shore is the worst character to ever hit television.

What? WHAT?!?!? What episode did they see? Evidently they've never watched Friends.

I was talking about it with one of my cashiers at work (because he is only slightly gay and loves Shore more than I do) and she overheard us I guess. Then explained that the most recent episodes only proved how terrible he was. I didn't get it. (I also love that I'm answering this in a super long LJ comment when I could use AIM ... am so lazy.)

She's the one who also told me Lilah was boring. Stupid friend.

OMG! I almost could now too.

Almost. Hah. I should spread rumours that she's bringing boys into the stockroom.

Ooooh, brilliant. Hire someone to substantiate it.

*snerk* A tactic worthy of Shore.

I think the fact that I'm flattered by that statement should tell me something is wrong with my character ...

Meh. Thanks! :)

He was a pretty big jerk in the first ep, but unwatchable? Never.
