The acting of James Spader

Let&apos;s take a minute and appreciate the acting of James Spader. Specifically, the scene outside the courtroom with Alan Shore and Jerry.

Jerry with the wooden cigarette, a new therapy technique, being flip and condescending towards Alan. With that slow gaze from Jerry&apos;s shoes to his eyes, you can literally see Alan re-calibrating with how he sees Jerry. No longer a friend, now an adversary he needs to crush by any means necessary.

What follows is a chilling dissection of Jerry&apos;s weaknesses and emotional illnesses that Alan unloads with surgical precision.

This scene is just amazing. You&apos;re somehow left still somewhat rooting for Alan. You know he doesn&apos;t WANT to sink to these levels. But he can, and he&apos;s excellent when he does so.
