It would appear that one of the World's worst analogies (that being "When you've started on a such a high peak, going down hill doesn't always mean that the show is about to hit rock bottom.", credited only to myself, as no one dares to touch it) has rung true. Boston Legal has picked up extremely well, almost as though some of those in charge of writing the show were, in fact, reading my blog. I wouldn't put it past them: my blog title does, after all, read "God wills it".

However, returning to this fantastic show, I offer my comments on the latest developments:

- New characters - Marlene "The Squid" Stanger, the new, recently acquired lawyer for Crane, Poole and Schmidt, is going to be, if her first episode was anything to go by, great. The tension between herself and Alan Shore has already been set up nicely, complete with hilarious staring competitions. It would appear that the actress portraying her, Parker Posey, is skilled enough in the quirky acting that is required for Boston Legal after a quick peruse of IMDB.com. Also, Michael J. Fox, the great actor he is, has made guest appearances, and !MAY! or may not appear before the season is out again, which, as I calculate things, is two episodes away.
- Less politics - This is the best part. It's not all about those American-central, and viewed, political issues. It's actually expanded to interesting cases to incorporate humour and thought on behalf of the viewer. And there is more of those borderline cases where it's not so easy to say who is right or wrong.

Sure, there's only two points, but these two, simple, changes in regards to the show has made sure that that rock that was rolling down the hill had enough momentum to start back up the next hill.
