Additional Comments: YAY! The crazy Walker's were back last night....and they were in full form! They made me laugh, like when they all called each other blabbing Isaac's secret, and when they "coincidentally" showed up at the house at the same time and were sneaking around trying to figure out what was going on!! And they made me cry, listening to Kitty and Nora talk, and Kitty telling her not to go....great mother/daughter stuff! Loved the quick wit during all the bickering, and the sincere emotion each character displays so beautifully. I was also happy to see that Rebecca has been cluing in to the possibility of her real father. She seems like a smart girl and I found it odd that she hadn't done some more serious thought about it, so I was happy to see her chat with Justin about her thoughts and concerns over it. I'm still on the fence about this one though. I think it's pretty obvious that she isn't going to be a Walker after all, and then I think something will probably happen between her and Justin, which is strange in itself since they have considered each other to be brother and sister, but I kind of like her being a Walker and at this point, haven't warmed up the idea that she won't be a real part of the family. Guess I'll just have to watch this one unfold and see how I feel as it happens!

I was so happy to see a new episode last night, and obviously, loved it. What did everyone else think???

I want Rebecca to be a Walker but I want Justin to be the son of Ken Olin's character.    I was thinking that Nora knew all along about her husbands affair and her and KO hooked up sort of to nurse their own wounds...

First off - I absolutely love this show ... But I was soooo happy last Sunday when it looked like they were bringing the Rob Lowe character's run for the presidency storyline to a close. To me, the whole thing was pretty stupid and unbelievable and didn't jive with the rest of the show. It's fine if they wanted his character to be in politics, but they probably should have taken it down a notch, and had him be a popular U.S. Congressman now running for the Senate or something. I then cringed when he got the phone call, presumably to be the other guy's running mate. Being a fan of The West Wing, it's just been too hard not thinking of how great political campaign drama can be while watching something like this, especially since Rob Lowe was in that cast as well.

Loved the entire show, though, especially another fantabulous Walker wingding! But I have a question. I missed the final conversation between Saul and Sarah. Was it about the business deal? Was Sarah declining doing the China deal and wanting Saul to break the news to her boyfriend that it's a a no-go? From the previews it sounded like Saul does some kind of end-run.

Ohhh yeah Brothers and Sisters was AMAZING! And for all the reasons you mentioned. This is such an awesome show. I wish it would receive all the recognition that it deserves.

I'm not feeling this Rebecca story.  I want her to remain a Walker.  Last season I was not a fan of her but she has really grown on me this year. The only reason to NOT make her a Walker is to hook her up with Justin and ehh that would be a bit weird to me.  Related or not, they considered each other siblings for the last year.  To start dating... yuckie.

Loved the Robert and Kitty scenes.  I was wondering though why they are trying fertility treatments.  She was just pregnant a couple of months ago without a problem??  Hmmm

LOVED the Sarah and Kevin scene over the dinner. "Be a man, Kevin, be a man!" I love the chemistry between all these characters.  It makes you feel like they really are one big dysfunctional loving family.

  • I was thinking about those fertility treatments too, but remembered that Kitty miscarried before; maybe they figured out what specifically was wrong and these treatments are fixing it? Not that I know that much abut the process. -SpellingAddict
  • I was wondering about the treatments, too. Kitty had a ''missed miscarriage'' which is when the baby dies in utero but stays in the body. That happened to me years ago and the doctor said it was from a genetic defect. I was under the impression that the injections were used when there were problems getting pregnant as they affect ovulation. When a woman has low progesterone and therefore more likely to miscarry fully then she uses something to help with that. Neither was the problem before with Kitty. However that was quite a few months ago and maybe since has had a hard time getting pregnant.
  • Yes - I love the chemistry between all the characters as well. There is something unique in all the relationships. Absolutely loved the three brothers taking the boyfriend out for golf. .. I would like to see some outtakes someday. I bet they have some good ones. Does anyone know if they include any on the DVD? lol! - JT

    I, too, enjoyed the most recent installment of Brothers & Sisters. Although I don't really care for Calista Flockhart, I will watch anything starring the wonderfully spunky Sally Field!

  • I've never been a big fan of Calista Flockhart either. She's always annoyed the you know what out of me!!! In fact, as much as I wanted to watch this show when it was starting, I was deterring myself because of her. But I must say, she has surprised me and grown on me. I quite like her in this role, and with think she's doing a good job acting against Sally Field who is, of course, brilliant! /Skullys Girl
