Can anyone do something about this? Kilyle 00:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Clarification, Please

message: The current text says that he only disclosed his adolescent rape to Denny, but I thought that he told Lorraine at soon after (the next episode). Can someone clarify? Rosenbluh (talk) 12:10, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clarification on his disclosure 

message: I believe that Alan Shore suffers from a combination of Sleep Terror Disorder and Sleepwalking Disorder. When his sleep terror episode occurs in season 2 episode 8 he also displays relatively complex motor activity including walking and trying to unlock his door. Such behaviour is more typical of Sleepwalking Disorder (DSM-IV-TR, pp. 639-644). He did also display the panic and confusion found in Sleep Terror Disorder, suggesting that both are present. Does anybody agree? Or even care? --AutoDisaster 00:24, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Alan Shore is much more complex than described, and yet - I see obvious features of his character missing in this article on him. Alan is above legality- and yet functions perfectly within the justice system, above morality- and yet prooves to have higher moral values than alot others around him, and above emotions ( how often did you see him smile or get angry? ) - and still he shows to be sensitive and compassionate under his shell. 83.228.30.203 05:27, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  Alan is incredibly complex.  He is a maverick, but also an exceptional lawyer.  When there is a clear social injustice, Alan sure will not hesitate to champion whom he feels is the victim.  However, Alan is a lawyer and doesn't hold back on those who oppose him, as is seen when he personally attacks Jerry Espenson, his close friend. --58.170.108.238 (talk) 12:05, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm as much of a fan of AS and BL as the next guy, but the quote section is ridiculous given that the quotes unsourced and contextless. I recommend deletion. If someone thinks they are truly important, they should be put up on external hosting and linked to from this page. Anyone disagree? Rosenbluh (talk) 06:32, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  removing quotes 

message: Why isn't he made partner? He's got to be the one guy who brings in the money, not to mention all the PR he gets from all the high profile cases. Plus he's best friends with Denny and on good terms with Shirely.
How can he not be partner, when the likes of Brad Chase and Lori Colson got there? And why wasn't it explained in the series why Brad became a DA? How do you not, in some little way, explain that in an episode? Beyond me.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Misessus (talk • contribs) 20:38, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Partner indeed 

message: In the character of Alan Shore I see some of the characteristic traits of Voltaire.  He is very open in his thinking.  He readily subverts the status quo even at great peril.  He trumpets justice and tramples infamy.  He is weathly which Voltaire was late in his life but he identifies with the common people.
Anyone else see more?

thread_title:  traits of Voltaire in the character of Alan Shore 

message: I've been catching up on old re-runs of the Practice, and just caught the first episode in which Alan appeared.
I was intrigued to see that it ended with Alan sitting on a patio drinking a beer.  I was strongly reminded of the usual endings of Boston Legal with Alan and Denny drinking together on the balcony.
