โโ Boston Legal to The Blacklist
Jan 7, 2015
In Boston Legal (ABC, 2004-2008), James Spader played Alan Shore, an often politically incorrect advocate in many cases involving “lost causes” (most of which, in the make-believe world of the Crane, Poole & Schmidt law firm, he actually won). His penchant for clarity and honesty was his weakness & his strength. In perhaps the most memorable episode, he even told “The Court Supreme” exactly what they needed to hear about the death penalty. Even his sexism was funny & endearing because it was โ hey! โ sincere. During the Bush years, Alan Shore’s truth-telling buoyed many a despondent liberal in the face of what Stephen Colbert dubbed “Truthiness”.

This page includes all tags except songs (see below). Clicking on a tag above takes you to all the posts tagged with it (mainly to episode scripts). Tags cover episode titles and numbers, main locations, snippets of memorable quotes, key events and memorable secondary characters. Usually excluded are general things that occur in all episodes since the search would produce too many results (though James Spader {Red} and Megan Boone {Liz} occur in all Scripts). Other main characters are tagged when they played a very important role in the episode. Expressions in parentheses () are for clarification or disambiguation.
This list is (painfully) curated, not computer-generated. For consistency, I use conventions applied across this blog. For instance, Daddygate is shorthand for Liz’s paternity matters. Lizzington is used for Red/Liz emotional connections (and applied broadly). By default, I use Red, Cooper, Ressler, Tom, Liz, Aram, Samar and Dembe for names (not Reddington, Harold, Donald, Mojtabai, etc). There are exceptions for some characters, Kirk is both Kirk and Rostov. I use Masha (first name only). Mr Kaplan is problematic. I use Kate Kaplan, Kaplan and Mr Kaplan. To me these defaults seem reasonable, though others may differ.
I reorganized the order in which search results appear so the Index reappears after other search results, not before (duh).
So far, except for the Pilot, all the S1 scripts are only in the single Easy Search Scripts file. (I only started watching the show in Season 2.) A detailed index into this 300-page+ file is pretty useless, so it is only lightly indexed. This summer I plan to break out some of the individual scripts, based on most popular. Eventually, I hope to get to them all.
An exception to all this is that Songs are tagged and indexed separately โญ Here The Complete Song List linking to YouTube videos is Here. A few particularly important songs are included above (e.g. “Just Breathe,” “If You Could Read My Mind”), but linked only to the scripts, not the music files.
Search Assistance (with Lists) is โญ Here. Included are Lists of Episodes and Articles, Blog Structure (with a lot of Background), and links to “Black Sites” (other places to find Blacklist stuff on the Web). There is a cross-referenced Alphabetic Index to blog features and general topics and commentary on the series. It is here you’ll find links to information on the actors, writers, general topics (e.g. Cold War, Islam, medical and political background etc), reviews, interviews and features like fan fiction and Twitter “Moments.” Whereas the Clickable Tag Index above focuses on the content of the series, Search Assistance (with Lists) focuses on the series context.
Happy Sleuthing!
