The Brothers and Sisters Cast

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?

Rachel Griffiths at the Golden Globes

Rachel Griffiths raised many an eyebrow with her choice of dress for the Golden Globes, a dress that might best be described as a golden sack, an unflattering, wrinkly toga or maybe simply best be forgotten. Of course it’s not fun having people dissing your dress, but there was a good reason for a baggy outfit: Rachel is expecting her third baby!

“[I] was, like, hiding under that gold dress. I kinda wasn’t ready to announce it then, but it provoked so many questions I was like, ‘Alright, okay, let’s just not pretend anymore.’ And now I can’t suck it in anymore — it’s out.”

The pregnancy wont be written into the series as Griffiths planned her baby so as to give birth in the season hiatus. That’s some great planning!

Rachel Griffiths

It’s crunchtime for Sara and her start up Greenatopia. After they screw up a tech presentation they have to ace the launch party. Rebecca and Justin are having relationship troubles and Kyle tries to make a pass at Rebecca.

Another Walker family gathering, but not as much drama as usual, which was kinda refreshing. Sara gets it on with one of her partners, Nora is heavily in lust with her architect. I like that Nora, though in her sixties, is dating and having a busy love life. This architect guy is a dish! 

Kevin and Robert go shooting with important people who can help Robert get into office. Looks like Robert is running for governor, I wonder what Kitty will have to say about that….

Cute quote:

Nora: I wish you’d kissed me thirty years ago.
Ian: How about now?

Kitty & Robert

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!!!

Sarah, Nora and Kitty Walker

Is it me or is Scotty’s mom awfully young? Anyway, yes, Kevin and Rebecca finally had sex. Still felt a bit ickey. Nora got her grant, basically because her cheating husband used to play golf with the big money guy, not really a wonderful start to her independence spree, but hey, those sick families will get their 17 million dollar house.

Holly and Rebecca got a little drunk together and seem to be mending bridges. I actually like Holly and I was sorry she got such a lousy deal. Not only didn’t she get the guy, he was cheating on her as well? Jeez. Well, she did get all that lovely money….

I actually thought Kevin was right to kick up a fuss and yes, I like that they are both still a little uneasy about the gay marriage thing: I wish it wasn’t so, but most of society still has to get used to two guys, or girls, being a married couple (did I mention Vote no on prop 8?), so it’s only natural that they’re still finding their feet.

Dave Annable aka Justin Walker

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….
