    the producers, directors, writers could NEVER have found a more superb actor to portray Alan Shore than James Spader…he is absolutely flawless.

    Alan's argument boils down to "They're just as bad as I am, so don't hate me if you're not going to hate them, too; and, if you're going to hate us equally, then I may as well get paid equally."

      @@ahirjay19 watch Boston legal I liked it way more because in Raymond all exceptional work I saw was mostly from James Spader but Boston legal for me was something else, it wasn't political correct. It talked about political issues than anything other while presentating both side in way like liberal but not a leftist which was Allen and a true Republican Denny crane, every actor or actress essentially played part that in some episodes showed every different side of humanity and also with everything. To me it was probably the most unique show ever.

      It complimented the original maybe 🤷‍♂️. Brilliant character, brilliant show, brilliant actors. 🙏 It's magical how these make believe shows before the boom of "reality TV" still can seem so rich in depth and artistry. How brilliant A & D become the absolute best of friends on B.L. with the juxtaposition of them being complete opposites, politically, stylistically, and nearly every other way... They eventually have mad respect and trust, AND LOVE for one another... cuz that's what it is, LOVE, ...as colleagues, and professionals, ...and the in the fidelity of their friendship. The cigar scene's on the patio are epic, brilliant, and fun. The writers, producers, directors of both shows deserve mad gratitude.
      Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

      As much as I love Raymond Reddington as a character, I still believe that Alan Shore is a better written character overall. Unlike Red, whose background is shaped by extenuating circumstances, Alan is naturally a loose cannon with all the complexity you could ever want in a character. I love them both equally, but finding characters with as many dimensions as Alan despite receiving no meaningful influence from the plot is extremely rare.

    I felt like Shore didn't even mind being fired. He probably expected it. It was the underhanded way in which they did it, with their attempts at secrecy and such. Add in that slap-in-the-face severance and the war was inevitable. No way Alan was going out like that.
    If Eugene had just been up front about it and given Alan the fair, reasonable severance he deserved, their never would have been a lawsuit.

    There is so much raw truth about our justice system and the roles of attorneys within it in this scene, most people would shut down their brains rather than dare to confront it directly. It IS adversarial, and the truth is only sought when it can yield the desired outcome for one party. In a perfect world, the justice system would seek only the truth, always. The guilty would never go free, the innocent would never be wrongly convicted. How do we get there?

    It always got me that he never went after Jimmy, the biggest hypocrite of all- the guy who broke privilege, who gambled with his clients money- even after Jimmy badmouthed him on the stand. And Eugene-mr ethics, trying to poach Alan’s rich client and slandering him, the same guy who covered for Bobby and Lindsay’s killings. Anything Shore did, he did for a good cause and it benefited the firm. Hard to believe ethics was so important to that firm by that point, given everything THEY did

    • @glenndallas7171

      Alan never tried to smear them, because he knew that was their plan against him. He constantly presented himself as a friendly rogue to the jury, he never spoke badly against them. He merely pointed out that they didn't meet the merits of their own argument. By NOT playing dirty, THEY looked worse for making "HE'S A BAD GUY" their only leg to stand on.

    By now I have seen enough American serial tv shows to be convinced that the writers of stuff like "Boston Legal", "The Newsroom", "House of Cards" and so on are really only trying to tell the American people the truth about the system and the world they're living in. Trying to warn them about the dangers of this system.

      No. "the practice" ran for 8 seasons: From the late 90s past 9/11. "Boston PUBLIC" was abt a schoolboard & ran from 2000-2005. "Boston LEGAL" ran for 4 or 5 seasons(?). i just remember it ending in '08 & how i cried my eyes out.

    I was so disappointed in Eugene young and the others for being so harsh towards Allen shore; if Eugene just dropped his pride a little bit and would have been more understanding of him and gotten to know him a little bit better he probably would have found that he had more in common with him than what he originally thought, it was such ashame that their partnership got ugly like that and ended the way it did but they essentially got what they deserve for being hypocritical, they constantly scolded him but they had no problems taking the money from what his antics were bringing in to the firm How do you use the same tactics another person use but don't allow them to do the same? that whole excuse of "do as I say not as I do" crap they try to use to stop him from having his hard earned money was just plain wrong which is why I was on Allen's side throughout the whole ordeal not to mention that he was my favorite character in both the practice and Boston legal!💯😁😉👍
