Just had my weekly fix of "Boston Legal Season 4". The star billings this week is definitely NOT awarded to Denny Crane or Alan Shore. It's to England-born-and-bred Tara Summers - see picture - playing newbie Katy Lloyd. Her accent (dipthongs, actually) is marvellous, especially employed in (gently) telling a US Judge not to be a cultural snob by taking away custody rights of a Mexican father who discovered his 10-year old son is a bullfighting genius. Brilliant.
Also gaining kudos is a gay 4 star general who successfully sued the US Army for sacking him for coming out (admitting his sexuality). The Judge hated Shirley Schmitt (Candice Bergen)- her arguments didn't work- but he just loved this heroic man.
Btw, there are blogs and forums on each episode out there!!! Alright, I'll own up to forcing my not-very-inclined-towards-English staff to brush up on passion about work by watching BL on Wed , 12 midnite. Watch it, it's free to air.
As I blog, the US stock markets are holding on to modest gains. Is the worst over? No, just signs that everything's extremely exaggerated, as always. Many called it "dead cat bouncing back to life".
