They´ve got to be kidding! One of the world´s most hated couples seems to be giving it yet another try! Last summer, Balthazar Getty and Sienna Miller made headlines when Getty left his wife, and mother of his gaggle of children, for Sienna and the two very publicly made out for a couple of months. Sienna pranced around topless and Balthazar was all over her, all of the time, way before his wife ever knew he was leaving her. Yep, that´s what earned him the monnicker “The Douchebag” and it suits him.

>>>Twilight: Robert & Kristen hook up after all?

Then the pair apparently broke up, hooked up again til everyone got bored. And now they´re back on again. Wonder how long it´ll be this time. You think Sienna is pregnant?

Family Legacy Episode Recap

Leaks all around! Another family dinner and a lot of hoopla. Kitty and Robert are still bickering about his running for office, Justin and Rebecca are on the outs, and Rebecca brings home a big surprise for Holly.
Meantime, the siblings are slowly on to Tommy´s dealings at Ojai.

Kitty is of course upstaging the birth mom. And looks terrible btw.
Holly was looking darned good! And I thought she was going to tell Julia about his affair.

Darn, I was waaay off base!
It´s a bit of a shame. Robert was way too obvious. Scotty would have been much more interesting. But how cute were Kevin and Scotty? Guess I´m glad he´s still alive.

Memorable Brothers & Sisters Quotes:

Kevin about Robert who´s just stormed out of the room after Kitty “Don´t look at me, I´m his communication advisor, not his marriage councelor!

As an episode, Lost and found was pretty ok. Kitty talks about her marital problems to Time magazine and later finds out someone (guess who) has killed the story. Nora goes up to Berkely to visit Ryan and answer some of his questions. Rebecca goes to New York to find her real dad, David. Holly gets suspicious of the business deal with the new vineyard.

I like Ryan, especially since he could still turn out evil. Nora grovelled a bit too much: it´s hardly her fault her hubby couldn´t stop chasing skirt. Though she might´ve divorced him, but that wouldn´t miraculously have meant that William and Ryan´s mom would have lived happily ever after. Actually, the guy who raised Ryan looked like a decent guy, so he can count himself lucky! And he may get a chunk of the Walker pie.

Kitty should totally dump Robert. He´s no good and he never will be and she will be raising that kid on her own. Maybe they can make a deal, where she holds off on divorcing him til she has legally adopted and he can run for governor? I don´t think they´ll give that baby to a woman going through a divorce. Though Cuddy in House got one, no sweat, and she´s a single mom. Anyway, Holly found out about Tommy´s scam. How stupid is this guy that everyone with half a brain can figure out he´s trying to pull a not-so-fast one? And using the same trick his old dad used? Get some new material man! And how did he get his hands on that pension fund?

Kitty is on tour with her book about her family but nobody seems particularily interested. Also she starts to suspect that Robert is keeping a big secret; Sarah has some serious financial issues that could kill her start up Greenatopia before it’s even started. Tommy tries to find allies to push Holly out of the family business and finds help in an unsuspected place.

Quite an interesting episode. How well do we know, or trust, the people we’re married to? Well, not all that well apparently. I must say, I never thought Robert and Kitty very convincing as a couple. Having sex on a desk does not a marriage make. It takes shared jokes, a whole lot of screaming and yes, sharing all your (most embarrassing) secrets! Robert running for governor without telling his wife, while on the verge of adopting a child is just plain WRONG. And spells doom in my book.

Funny quote:

Saul: Why are you so obsessed with my social life?
Nora: Not obsessed. You’re my favorite brother.
Saul: Only brother.
Nora: In this family, you never know.

Liked it! Lot of different, possibly explosive story lines! Robert, obviously, keeping stuff from Kitty, none of the siblings showing up for her book reading (So where was Tommy? Jerk!)
And speaking of Tommy the Jerk: guess he’ll be on his way to prison soon. I really don’t like him (as if that wasn’t obvious) maybe he’ll get killed in a riot? Poor Rebecca, trying to do a good job and then getting screwed by her sort-of bro. I actually thought they were all right to let Sarah take out a second mortgage to make up for the money: why on earth should Kitty run the risk? And get yelled at for her pains? I thought Kitty got a raw deal this ep, deceitful hubby, unsupportive siblings, yelled at by sis, lied to by brother Kevin… Poor las. She was wearing a great coat though and that handbag!!!

The siblings are all trying to wiggle out of Thanksgiving but everybody’s afraid to tell their mom. Then baby Elizabeth suddenly gets ill and has to have a liver transplant. Only her biological father can be a donor. But who’s her daddy? Kevin or Justin?

Liked it! I’d kinda forgotten about the brother-being-the-sperm-donor-thingy. Cool. So if you don’t want to know who Lizzie’s dad is stop reading NOW!

Soooooo…. Kevin’s the dad. That must be so hard for Tommy! And Scotty! And Justin! Cute kid btw. And Balthazar Getty can actually act! I am not BG-fan, check out Seven worst celeb boyfriends but he looked the part of troubled father and I found myself oddly moved when he broke down. Excellent ep!

Lovely, loving scene between Kevin and Scotty in the hospital. Thumbs up!

Kitty’s acting so incredibly neurotic that she might spook the birthmom, Justin says ‘I love you’ to Rebecca and she just says ‘thanks’ (ouch!) and Kevin starts working for his brother in law the senator and has a lot of trouble adjusting. Tommy and Julia spend their anniversary with the entire Walker clan at Magic Manor.

Whaat? ‘The magic of Tommy and Julia’? They both cheated! Like, last Wednesday! Where’s the magic in that? And who on earth celebrates their wedding aaniversary with a herd of overbearing siblings and a meddling mom? Poor, poor Julia ends up being a prop at her own party.

Kitty went in full blown Ally McBeal-mode this episode. Reminded me why I stopped watching. The endless banter, the nervous facial expressions. Poor Robert! The birth mom turned out to be a well educated, self assured, black doctor, not your usual down on her luck trashy teen. How could they not have known that?!

Justin totally freaked Rebecca out by just showing up in her bathroom and standing there. Yikes. That would have freaked me out SO BAD! There’s horror movies based on less than that. And why the hell did she put on her huge towel while still under the shower???!!! Who does that?

Still, liked the episode. Sarah and her geeky new colleagues sitting around, Kitty and George baking cup cakes together, and I do believe senator McAllister is getting cuter all the time.

Good quote:
Robert to Kitty: “If you’re not ready to have your heart broken, you’re not ready to be a parent”

Here’s the link! It actually works! (or at least it did this morning

At least Balthazar Getty gets his rocks off occasionally and is snapped in ridiculously compromising positions with playmate Sienna Miller. On-screen long suffering spouse Sarah Jane Morris on the other hand only gets to say lame lines such as “are you all right?”, “maybe you should talk to her” and “the baby is asleep”. Jeez, hardly a challenging role.So far all she’s done is sit around and cry. And their marriage isn’t of the exemplary kind, they were apart for what? A month? And they BOTH cheated?

I actually remember thinking during the pilot that the pretty blond girl had hardly any on-screen time and idly wondering whether that would ever change. It hasn’t, poor lass. So who is this Sarah Jane Morris (is it me or is her very name boring as well?).

Well, she was born in Memphis, Tennessee in 1977. Her father is called Walker Morris, which is a reasonably funny coincidence, as her character now is Julia Walker. It doesn’t get much more exciting though. Her dad’s a pilot, her mom’s a social worker, Sarah Jane got married to a guy named Ned and they have a dog called Floyd, she does yoga… Apparently (watch Jimmy Kimmel video) she steals used grease to use as bio-diesel. Yikes. That’s the most politically correct crime I’ve ever heard of!
Here’s the vid of Sarah Jane on Jimmy Kimmel:

Yup, if anyone’s leaving the show, it should so be her, because she is dull in real life as well! Couldn’t she have squeezed in a drug habit or an illegitimate child? Somewhere?Maybe Tommy could get together with Holly? Now that would cause a stir….

I like Brothers and sisters, it’s sharp and funny and there’s some great acting. Not by Calista Flockhart, but Matthew Rhys, Rachel Griffiths and Sally Field rock. I hope I look half as good as Sally Field when I’m her age.

Anyway, the new storyline with yet another illegitimate child spawned by their dad? Really? How very As the world turns or Dallas even.

The thing that bugs me about this is why would anyone go looking for a half brother they never met? Why would they care at all? Sarah and Kevin jumped all over this, Kevin left his new husband on their wedding night to go and talk to Sarah about this new brother. Why?!!

My dad’s not the most, err, monogamous of people, and if any halfsiblings ever end up on my doorstep I’ll share a beer with them, sure. Maybe even mix ‘em a g&t. But getting all in a huff and loosing sleep over them? Heck no.

The Walkers already have family enough to satisfy a whole rack of Hallmark cards, and a not-so-related illegitimate sister, so why add to that? I know, the storyline, obviously, but why not let sleeping dogs lie? And why o why would Sarah and Kevin tell their mom before they even found this guy? Hasn’t she had enough to deal with? Must suck so badly that you find out all this stuff about your husband after he’s dead. You can’t yell, there’s no point egging his car or cutting up all his clothes….
