Boston Legal -- "Guardians & Gatekeepers" -- 9/29/08

Photobucket

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


A close call for Denny involving prescription drugs inspires Alan to go after a pharmaceutical company for its unscrupulous advertising tactics. Meanwhile, Carl defends Shirley's 17-year-old granddaughter after she's caught voting illegally, and Jerry and Katie help a girl who was sexually assaulted in a private detention facility.

Another good episode. I always find myself engulfed in this show. I liked how they decided to go after the pharmaceutical companies, and it was great when Denny and Alan were talking a the end about being the last year :P

It was good until the 2 political rants in the last third of the episode.

I liked the girl's speech on the stand about American voters.

You're always going to get political rants on this show. Sometimes they work within the context of the episode and sometimes they don't.

I'm really going to miss this show. Last season was sub-par but this week's episode was top-notch. I hope they go out in style.

The problem is that you get many of the same rants over and over. For example, the pharm rant - I didn't really have a problem with that one, prepostrous as it was, but when Larroquette started up with the 8 years of Bush rant (and believe me, I'm no fan of Bush) in the voting case, it's nothing we haven't heard many times before.
