again like last week feels like too much self-reference on Boston Legal.
"If there were new guys, they'd have shown up in the series premiere." - fine. great even, bcs I like how Denny said 'series pre-miere' accenting the pre-, and but for it having aired already on the ads.
but Denny then following it up with "welcome to Boston Legal" -and- "cue music" - too much.
you can't break the fourth wall if you've torn it down ~ or is that too would-be clever for me maybe.

Denny: I met her on FaceSpace. nice on mr kelley.

and ok these new people are actually good. this new guy is great. and the new gal is over the top which may mean she holds her own here. new girl doesn't do murder cases, she finds them icky.
oh and nice, new guy partner geoffrey just called denise "drop dead" since that's what she said when he asked her name.
wow geoffrey really is walking in a star. (in the ad I saw the guy who is his client here, who was "in the bedroom, with the judge" - supposed to sound like Clue?- the same evening she was killed. and thought that would be the new guy, and this would be just like the young dark haired guy last season. no. good. oh and geoffrey to the client "if you were in the house, they'll probably find out. this isn't Boulder." Boulder?)
and wow abrasive new girl "what, you wanna ask me out?" to the cop.

I'm liking Melissa lately. young blonde alan's assistant. and I liked everyone's reaction to the woman with a maternity leave case who knows why they are looking at her, they're looking at her knockers. Alan: "that's no way to treat a woman."

goodness Geofrrey Koho with the lab guy oh coroner, he's very.. what, david kelley? huh, no, more specifically, very alan shore. isn't he? quick talking "is there any evidence the sex wasn't consensual? I don't mean what's going on here of course" since the coroner is standing btw legs up in stir-ups - geoffrey's greeting was "I love a man who loves his work" and he keeps saying his name every time the guy asks and "are you a verb bigot?" when the guy: you - hell - out.
quick talking and pre-emptively responsive ("I see by your face no" type of thing "I'll take it you do") - that's alan style right?

oh geez Geoffrey with Brad is so just about exactly like the face offs btw Brad and Alan first season! Brad being out-talked every time as she tries to strike back against mockery. weird how much of a replay this is... (Denise the observer slash prize this time, instead of Sally.)
