Coincidence?

Every movie beechball and I saw together this year (and one we almost saw) got a Best Picture nomination.

However, I must say...I liked Superbad more than Juno.

Hahahaha, I don't mind anti-squee at all. I'm totally capable of loving the hell out of a show and criticizing it at the same time.

Yeah, I really liked Alan in this one (not that I ever don't like him, but you know what I mean). It was nice to see him invested in the case for personal reasons rather than because of his ideals or his desire to piss off/spend time with (they go hand-in-hand) Shirley. And even before the balcony revelation, I think it was apparent--by the way he interacted with the client, his indignation in court--that he had a personal stake in it.

The balcony revelation is all sorts of yummy fodder for all sorts of things! Such as?

Yes. I agree there, too. This was the sort of case where The Practice-era Alan would've resorted to taking some extralegal measure to remedy the problem, but then again, Terrence did say at the end that he wasn't sure he wanted to force Missy to have an abortion, so maybe this was the best solution. If they'd won, I certainly hope Alan would've given more thought to the implications of their dragging the case to the Supreme Court.

I liked that as well. Hahahaha, I don't think it's something Boston Legal does all that often (or maybe I'm too smitten with Alan to notice).

Also, OMG Katie's hair and wardrobe. Thank you for pointing this out. Something about her was irritating me and I couldn't put my finger on it. It was the hair.

A lot of the episode felt rushed. In Katie and Jerry's case, the questioning of the witnesses was very abrupt, and the scene Alan had with Terrence right before the judge ruled was extremely short, and looked as though it'd had the end of it lopped off in the editing room.
