I just finished a Boston Legal rewatch.

As I was watching, I came to the conclusion that I don't think Alan's late wife was younger or the same age as him. I think she was older. By at least a decade.

"Creativity, desire, zealotry, a gorgeous clavicle, healthy lack of inhibition" is how he described her and that can apply to women of any age. He's always been attracted to older women.

He says "she began to know me too well." Maybe his wife had been with men previously just like Alan. Whether that be an ex-boyfriend or even an ex-husband along the way.

I don't know where in the timeline she fits though. Just after he graduated law school? Between Howard & Brock and Carruthers Abbott? I think they were married for at least a few years.

I did also have a passing thought that maybe she was the "someone very dear to me died with Alzheimer’s" that he mentioned to Denny in The Practice. Denny called back to that conversation (not that line though) in BL, so I don't consider it a throwaway line. But early onset Alzheimer's wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility if she was older than him. It just would contradict that she knew him too well though.

This post is just me trying to manifest something for that NBC 100th variety special coming up in December.

Star Trek, The Blacklist, Night Court and Parenthood all were on NBC.

That would mean we could potentially have Shatner, Spader, Larroquette and Potter in the same room for a night.

Sitting near each other? Why not? Would all four attend if they were invited? I'm guessing no, but stranger things have happened.

Just thinking about it now to put it out there. Don't get excited yet.

I just want a mini Boston Legal reunion in the room, and yes I know BL was on ABC so it wouldn't be on stage

If you go to IMDB, you'll see John Larroquette is using this photo as his profile pic. I love it. Is this his way of saying that's he's taking a nap from acting at the moment?

Doing a rewatch of the final season of The Practice and I just finished the Paul Stewart trial 3 parter.

As I was watching it, it made me want post finale BL fic of Victoria Stewart and Denny meeting and sleeping together.

Not sure if she hears about them getting married and wants to see it in person or if Denny and Victoria meet at some event. I feel like Alan would be conflicted with Denny sleeping with her.

Take the plot bunny if you want

It's 10 o'clock. Are we not on? We're supposed to be Tuesday at 10 every week. We've been moved—we're Wednesday at 10. Are we Wednesdays at 10 from now on? No, we're off next week and on for the following two Wednesdays. What about next year? Best to keep checking in. BOSTON LEGAL (2004-2008)

Has someone ever made a Boston Legal fanvid/fancam to Man! I Feel Like a Woman! ?

I don't why this popped into my head. I haven't seen anything in a search as far as I can tell

But it would make a lot of sense or maybe the sense is just all in my head

[somethinginred29]

Fic Search

I vaguely remember reading a fic a long time ago that involved Stephen Colbert trapped in the world under his Colbert Report desk. Does anyone know where I might find this elusive fic? It might involve Jon Stewart, but I can’t remember.

Help!

[somethinginred29]

I was just thinking about this today and I still haven't been able to find it. Help please?

Back up your LJs!

I know this post is for a very small audience here on Tumblr but some of my oldest friends I met on LiveJournal are still here, so I'm making it anyway just in case.

But there have been some changes at LJ recently that do not bode well at all. Rahaeli made a thread about it on bsky with some more worrying details. For a bit of background on this, LJ is surprisingly big in Russia. Like way more than on the western side, and it's been owned by a Russian company for a long time now (it wasn't always - there was a big controversy when LJ got sold to the Russians back in the day).

The Russian side of LJ dropped a very big change on Dec 29th without warning on their users, essentially making it so they'd have to register their ID or bank info with LJ to post or comment. Any posts from people outside of Russia, or without Cyrillic services turned on, are invisible and can't be interacted with by people inside Russia. It's nearly impossible to turn Cyrillic services on if you're not in Russia either, so there's a big wall now between both sets of users. Rahaeli speculates that this could mean the Russian company that owns LJ could be considering selling off or just shutting down the western side of LJ soon, thus why they're sectioning it off. There's been no mention of this on the western LJ news comms or anything which is also worrying.

Fandom's moved on from LJ now, but that doesn't mean that a large chunk of old fandom didn't take place there before, and if LJ does go down then tons of fic, fanart, meta, communities, kinkmemes, discussions, rp, goes down with it. Everything up in smoke! I think people underestimate sometimes just how much stuff went on there. LJ being dead is much different than LJ being gone... the thought of it really disappearing after all this time breaks my heart. I've spent so much of my life there, even after everyone else left. ;_;

But how to do your backups? Dreamwidth is an easy answer as an LJ clone, with an automated importer that'll snag all your stuff and move it over for you. Another tool I've been using is ljArchive, specifically this fork of it which will also save comments and communities, although it won't get userpics. There's also LJ Archivr, although that one costs money, and I think some others are mentioned in the bsky thread. Whatever you pick, I'd do it sooner than later.

If you have fandom stuff that you loved on LJ and it's only on LJ, get it NOW.

I imported my LJ to DW.

Why at first glance did I think Harry sitting in the chair was Benjamin Salisbury aka Brighton on The Nanny??

“Night Court” Goes to Night Court

With the reboot of the beloved sitcom in its third season, John Larroquette, its star, finds that the show’s Burbank set is as dingy as the

An utterly delightful new piece from The New Yorker. During his last trip to NYC, John visited the real night court for the first time :)
