Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I quite enjoy Boston Legal, when I catch it in re-runs. It's (Sorkin, I think?)'s soapbox writ large, but since it's usually Spader delivering the soapboxing, I can live with it. Candace Bergen is AWESOME in it, and Shatner is hilarious. The diversity of the cast is less problematic than, say, Supernatural, and they've had some amazing guest stars.

Our neighbor who is pretty high up there with the Obama administration left for work today at 4 a.m. (The dog and I were awake.) Usually we wave to each other at 7 a.m. when we're both pulling out of the driveway. Guess they're still working on that speech.

I tried to watch a little of Boston Legal once, and the filming style bugged me. The camera was always moving and zooming in on stuff for no reason.

"Boston Legal" often surprised me, especially when Shatner would brush himself off and remind the world that once upon a time he was considered a very respectable serious actor. I enjoy when he knowlingly embraces the schtick that has become his life, but he can also bring the chops. The episodes where Denny's dealing with the knowledge he has the precursors of Alzheimer's are wonderful.

Shatner was on one of the really classic Twilight Zone episodes, for instance.

"Judgement at Nurmberg" in the '60s, plus he did a lot of Shakespeare. I've seen some Star Trek stories that commented on a stage actor with a promising career doing TV sci-fi.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
He was at the Statford Shakespeare festival. Also, his early Corman film The Intruder is pretty great as b-movies go.
Plus he was in the only movie shot in Esperanto!
