Jeri Ryan will guest-star on the season finale of BOSTON LEGAL. She'll play a reality show hostess on trial for attempted murder of a papparazzo who was stalking her.

Hm, William Shatner, Jeri Ryan, and Rene Auberjonois in the same show/episode...This should be interesting

Omg! It's like they have almost all the people who are off the Star Trek Series.

^ LOL! Really, only three.

But it reunites Jeri with David Kelley again, too.

Cool. Thanks for sharing that. I'm always interested in seeing Jeri play other roles.

Okay, a few inside scoops.

They filmed at Jeri Ryan's restaurant last week, so not only will Jeri be making an appearance, but Ortolan will as well. Apparently Courtney shoots the paparazzo outside the restaurant.

And Denny Crane (Shatner) is perving over Courtney, while she's developing a crush on Alan (James Spader).

It's looking like a fun couple of hours.

Okay guys, I just find this too funny. How many ST actors do they have to have in this show? I mean, they have William Shatner, Rene Auberjonois, and now Jeri Ryan...Who's next?

Oh, Kelley just loves the Trek in-jokes, so I'm sure there's gonna be something in this episode. And rumor has it there's a "surprise cameo" in the first hour--speculation is someone from Trek or from THE PRACTICE or another Kelley show.

Remember, Jeri doesn't just have the Trek connection, she was also on Kelley's show BOSTON PUBLIC.

That is awesome! I love Boston Legal! I was wondering if she was going to maybe guest star on the show. For some reason, I just kept getting the feeling that maybe she would during some episode. Maybe it was fortold somehow?

J/K. I don't know, I guess since I read about her playing in that new show called "Shark," and the type of show that was, I figured that it might be only a matter of time before she either guest starred on a show like Boston Legal or one of the Law & Order shows. Anyway, that is just too funny and ironic though. To have 3 Star Trek actors in one episode.

A couple of images of the episode released by ABC--the location is Jeri's real-life French restaurant Ortolan.

she is so beautiful!

Wow, I didn't know that she owned a restaurant in real life. That's cool. It looks very nice. That picture is also a very good one of her. She's a very pretty actress. I always liked her hair. She's aging pretty nicely as the years go by. And I don't think she's even 40 yet.

Hey that is cool. Just the other day I was trying to find out if she was still in show biz and now I know.

And while we're waiting for "Boston Legal," here's a pic of Jeri and her son in the audience for American Idol.

More screencaps of the entire 2 seconds she was on camera can be found here:

Okay, I just watched the season finale. Did anyone watch it? It was so funny. Jeri Ryan was an awesome actress as usual, but I was really hoping that she would kiss Alan Shore (James Spader). I was laughing so hard when Denny Crane and that other guy were always going after her. I'm a fan of the show anyway, so I was enjoying it a lot. Especially when Denise was always running after Marlane (Parker Posey). Great episode. And I was finally glad when Jeri Ryan had some lines. I was afraid she was only going to make like a cameo. Kind of like how Kate Mulgrew was more of a like a cameo on Law & Order: SVU.

What did you guys think?

Loved it. She was terrific. I was surprised there was no Trek inside joke, though. Like Shatner saying, "Resistance is futile" or something.

Great shot of the name of the restaurant, too. Terrific product placement!
