Brothers & Sisters Season 1-5 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

Episodes 16 and 17 (spoilers if you've only seen part one, ep. 16)

Wow. What a great 2-hour episode, I didn't want it to end!

Firstly, I can NOT believe Robert, he certainly has some nerve doesn't he? After everything, still going and having Kevin call that press conference? Poor Kitty, now she has to raise Evan with her mom!!

Yep, well it looks like Tommy's going to jail huh!? I can't stand Holly but of course this was the way that storyline had to work out - especially with the talk of Balthazar Getty leaving the show. I just hope Rebecca and Justin work it out somehow. And their relationship might get all messed up even more from Ryan being around!!

I really loved Kevin in this episode -- I always like him, but I thought Matthew Rhys' acting was particularly good.

I have the same exact bad feeling about Ryan -- the way he acted when Nora came to visit him was pretty manic-depressive.

I am also totally annoyed with Robert and his ambitions! Not because he's ambitious, but because he keeps lying about what his priorities are -- he should never have agreed to the adoption if it wasn't going to be his priority, or at least not discussing the problems of politics with new kids. This is exactly what went wrong with his first wife too! Argh.

I miss season two Kitty and Robert too! - and I distinctly remember watching Kitty and Robert in season 2 and thinking "This is never going to last." LOL!

Still don't totally trust Ryan...am trying to figure out what his Deep Dark Secret might be.

Episode 19

Where oh where has Tommy run off to? Costa Rica? Paris? Hmm. NOT a bright move on his part, but I did have a feeling that was where the story was going.

I'm glad Robert seems to have had some sense knocked into him, though who knows if it's too little, too late. Poor Kitty, she's exhausted taking care of everyone, a regular Nora! That little baby is too cute!

I really hope they don't make a couple out of Ryan and Rebecca!!

I NEVER trusted Ryan from the first time he appeared! I'll bet his mother's death had nothing at all to do with William. Breaking up Justin and Rebecca was low, but it was pretty obvious like you said that that was part of his plan.

Robert is really unbelievable, so self-centered! And he knows deep down he's losing Kitty but he can't seem to stop himself.

So do we know if Tommy's going to come back? Is Balthazar Getty off the show for good now or will he come back once more before his contract ends?

I didn't expect Sarah to go back to Ojai either, her and Holly going head to head should be, um...interesting!

Yes, definitely an interesting twist -- I was worried that they were going to start having problems between them, glad their marriage is still happy and intact, FOR NOW at least!

So, Kitty obviously has feelings for the Dad in the Park, do we think she's going to cheat on Robert or leave him?

I agree Shinny, I'm sort of 50/50 on the Kitty-Robert-Alec triangle. On the one hand, I felt awful for Robert too, he really was trying., but on the other hand it's sort of a "too little too late" situation in many ways. That said, I don't really "believe" that she and Alec have such strong feelings for one another...I think it's just all been so rushed, it's her running to a family man, like you said, not so much that she's in love with him as she seemed to say to Robert.

I'm glad Rebecca has figured out Ryan is up to no good - and soon she will discover it's thanks to her own mother. I really don't like Ryan...and until he has any proof that his mother's suicide really was William's fault, he's acting based on completely factless evidence!

It's very possible - and I have to say, I think she would deserve it! She isn't being very wise, especially being a new mother. She should be thinking a little bit clearer!

I agree, the thing that drove them apart in the first place was not communicating and not spending enough time part -- so making that even more "official" is certainly not going to solve any problems.

I absolutely didn't see Justin and Rebecca's engagement either -- but it was really sweet, I liked the way Justin worded WHY he wanted to marry her. He certainly has overcome lots -- and now he's on his way to medical school with a new fiancee!

Whatever happened with Nora and her boyfriend (was his name Richard, I can't remember)? Did I miss something and they broke up, or he just hasn't been in the picture much?

So, what's the vote, will Tommy be on the last episode?

These episodes have been really great in my opinion, I've really grown fond of this show!

Well it's not like they would have been shooting porn on the day of her wedding! I thought that place looked really nice, I might have considered it for my wedding =) Actually, I thought a really perfect place was that top of the hill that they used to go up to the top to talk at --- it's where they had their first kiss I think. But Hawaii's nice too ;)

Ugh, I *hate* when tv shows do that (Rebecca about to tell Justin and then him saying something stupid...it's like a soap opera). I hope it comes out sooner than later because there are more interesting things going on to deal with!

Yes, Kitty shaving off her hair was shocking but impressive, good for her! I loved the scenes with the three ladies.

Lately this show's been really good, I'm enjoying watching it.

Haha, true indeed =)
Yes, of course Justin would be happy! He might even have said what he did because he was disappointed!

Kitty wasn't breathing! I wonder what's going to happen...will she survive?

Poor Justin and Rebeca, can't catch a break. The rule of thumb on tv shows is, though, that if they show you the bride in her dress before the wedding, there isn't going to be a wedding! Holds true with this one too hehe!

Another stupid stunt by Tommy. Um, couldn't he have just asked Julia? Dur!

Yeah, and Nora was pretty naive...$100,000 isn't something to just throw away!

True indeed, go Nora!

This wasn't the greatest episode, the past ones were better. But I am curious as to what exactly is going on with that guy and the Ojai buyout....what secret does he have up his sleeve!?

TOP

I agree, I think Robert will probably have a heart attack to leave the show. Wont' that be soooo sad =(

As for Narrow Lake...I really can't think of what it's going to be. Maybe this "underground" electromagnetic survey they have to do will bring up something, like a fresh spring water source?

Reply 71#71 shinny's post

Nope, haven't heard that, but it sounds interesting.

We're sure Robert's leaving right? Heart attack? Or do we not know how?

I guess it was sad that the family business closed, but I wasn't too moved - Ojai has been causing family problems forever now! It's time everyone moved on.

As for Narrow Lake, maybe it's nothing after all - maybe Nora will just follow through with the plans and they'll move there or something??

Rebecca wasn't William's daughter in the end, that's how she could marry Justin! =)

I called it, i said a while back it might have been a water spring under there! Yay me! =)

Though...if it was such a huge load of water, how come it took them so many times drilling to find it!??!

I also agree, good first episode, thank goodness Justin came back and knocked some sense into them all. Poor Kitty, not an easy choice to make.

I definitely think Scotty and Kevin will eventually be adopting Matteo!

True, why can't those things happen in real life?

That scene when all the kids confronted their mom about her being a lesbian was priceless - as was the scene when Kitty had accidentally downloaded lesbian "grandma" porn on the phone! Ha!

Question though: I wonder why they made absolutely no mention of Cooper, Paige's brother? Did they write him off?
