Last night [info]rustystiletto & I watched Woody Allen's Bananas, kindly lent by [info]moleintheground, and then chanced upon a new show on Living called Boston Legal.

Has anyone seen this? It's not a good show - produced by the guy behind Ally McBeal, and it's like the wacky-legal-soap-opera bits of that watered down & written worse & acted worse (with one exception). But it was worth seeing, just for the worlds-colliding experience of watching JAMES SPADER (for it is he!) doing scenes with WILLIAM FUCKING SHATNER (oh yes!!). An actual actor who's done loads of good films and some enjoyable blockbusters, finding himself in a substandard TV show acting opposite Mr Mannerism himself. Surely the very fabric of the universe should tear asunder??

Shatner is even worse than usual - I can see why they cast him, he ought to be ideal for the role (self-regarding patriarch of the law firm), but he's not giving it any energy. Plus, he seems to be turning slowly into a giant toad.

His finest moment is actually the great Roger Corman cheapo anti-racist flick The Intruder (a.k.a. I Hate Your Guts), from about 1960. Anyone seen that one?

Did you see Shatner's youthful performance as Alyosha in BROTHERS KARAMAZOV? (This is true-)
Actually, all things considered (Yul Brynner was Ivan...) he was quite passable.

Here in the states, I used to watch the original show that Boston Legal was begat from the ashes of... I was deeply into The Practice.

Spader started in the last season of The Practice, along with Rhona Mitra (who I think is really hot) so I was watching in the beginning - love Spader. I love Rhona Mitra because she is part Indian and not very Indian, like me - and a really strong beautiful intense woman like my mother was - but CNN's Christiane Amanpour is much much more like my mother's vibes than Rhona Mitra (who is more like me)(ya right, in my dreams, ok?)

Then two things happened. I got into a really gripping dramatic effort on HBO (Carnivale) that really trumped anything Boston Legal could dish - one of those time conflicts that is hands down no conflict at all, you just have to watch the one over the other... then worse - they wrote my other favorite woman character out of the show, so I guess I sort of went on strike from it. So, it's 'finished' as far as I'm concerned, they lost me.

But how weird is it, to have Rene Auberjonois from DS9 and Shatner TOS in the same cheesy series!

Yeah, Sarah said that other guy was a Trek veteran too. I vaguely recognised him but couldn't think where from.

Which one is Rhona Mitra? I think they did show The Practice over here but I never saw it.

Don't forget that in later episodes they try to jolt some interest by adding ms. Formerly Murphy Brown into the cast. PS Banannas-ah a time when Woody Allen wasn't so...Woody Allen.

It was Murphy Brown who let Lake Bell go. I think I'm psychologically boycotting the show because of that... oh and that insipid Betty White playing such an insufferably insipid cloying secretary? I think she was so annoying it drove me away. I want Lake Bell back... she was hawt.... (whinge to this!) I guess these two facts broke the camel's back.
