Ally McBeal set the standard for being quirky and this David. E. Kelley written episode goes from the heights of Yule Tide Celebrations to the depths of death. It is not a traditional take on the season, and shows off how unique this adult themed legal drama would become.
McBeal gets assigned a case with a Transvestite Hooker is the central one here. Surprisingly though, at the same time Ally is getting asked for a date by her boss.(Peter MacNicol /Cage) Meanwhile Fish is losing a dear relative who had some quirks of their own. Between that and Ally tackling a Christmas Tree, a lively rendition in a church Funeral Service of "Short People", and a sudden death shaking up everything, this is a bittersweet holiday.
Vonda Shepard gets in some Christmas vocalizing early on and at the end of the show we wind up in a grave yard and a morgue. Meanwhile, some of the folks in the cast are just having a Christmas where while the events do not touch them directly, they do get touched by others.
Anyone would sympathise with Ally at the end. This first season to this point is really more focused on Ally than anyone else. However, at this point I am starting to fall in love with. Lisa Nicole Carson (Renee Raddick), a really hot DA she is, and. Courtney. Thorne-Smith (Georgia Thomas), the woman who married Ally's former love. Billy (Gil Bellows). Sure. The story is wrapped around Ally, but she is not the most attractive here. She is very on edge with the boss asking her out and her try at saving someone she cares from a cruel fate derailed totally.
I would not sanction this episode for the kids after the very opening minutes.
