King of Spaders.
On last night's Boston Legal, there were three plots. The first was about a criminal who is shot while comitting a crime. He asks his attorney to prevent surgery that would remove the incriminating piece of evidence from his chest. Legal hijinx ensue.
The second plot was about a judge who gives out wacky sentences. In this case, he orders a man to pace in front of his downtown tenement wearing a sign that reads "I am a slumlord." Legal hijinx ensue.
This is standard stuff. The kind you'd expect from David Kelley and most any mediocre law-focused tv drama.
But the third plot was just right. It focused on the relationship between the characters played by James Spader and William Shatner, and it was about the Boston Red Sox and sex with one-legged women.
If you're not watching this show, you're not missing much. But what you are missing is f***ing brilliant.
