I am finally catching on to who everybody is after watching my 3rd eppy of Brothers and Sisters. After watching a rerun between 2 new eppies it caught me off guard a little, but damn is this a good show.

Like Rick and others have said its nice to actually see a real kiss between 2 guys and for ABC to not shy away from it is even better. For once I have to give props to ABC. Yeah of course the kiss is nice, but the show doesn't use the kiss as a huge plot device or for shock value, it just happens to be part of the storyline between 2 guys who are going through real-life problems.

I thought Griffiths was excellent, but I can't help to think she is a man under all those clothes. To me she screams MAAAAAAAAAAN.

I am a Holly fan as well, from what little I have seen of her, and I can't wait to watch this lost daughter stuff heat up. Its too bad we have to wait 2 weeks for another new show.

I am definitely putting this show on my recording list.

Excellent decision.

And squeeee more Holly fans. I love Patricia Wettig in the role. She is kicking major ass. She has that hardcore b!tch look to her, which makes me like her even more. Plus, she's going to be in more episodes? MAJOR BONUS. One of these days, Holly needs to go OFF. Gawd, I love this woman :wub:

I also love how natural the gay/bi/straight relationships are being portrayed. As Rick mentioned in his awesome post.

Love her. Patricia Wettig is so great in this role and much needed counterbalance to the Walkers. And with Rececca being a contract player (Was shocked to see EMily Van Camp in the credits...) I guess there's much more Holly in the air the upcoming weeks... Yay!

Thought that "Love is difficult" was a great episode but very different from the lighter previous weeks. Jon Robin Baitz showed that he's a playwright by heart. The dialogue was often really poetic, swooning for Nora's ahem Dora's shortstory... :lol: And it was a treat to once see the other Walker siblings and less of Kitty: Finally Tommy got some screentime and the Sarah scenes were heartbreaking.

Yep, this is definitely one of the best series on TV, these days. 15 episodes strong and still loving very minute of it. :)

Has anyone else seen the new B&S commercial promoting the upcoming show and calista, rachael, rob and sally. It so intense, its definantly going to be a must-see episode. Question: Does justin know about his new sister? Because he seemed really pissed in the commercial as if he were left out too, I totally forgot if he knew or not? I guess the family will be divided because of this. :( I already saw Nora's dissapointment in sarah clip on Oprah's show, when she interviewed sally during her pre-oscar special.

Kane I don't think that Justin knows. Holly of course knews. Saul may know or supsect and Sarah, Tommy and Kevin all know...I can't remember if they told Kitty, but I remember it was the desert/car breakdown/Kevin gets laid by the military guy so I don't think Justin knows.

    • Spoke with my contacts at Lifetime. As of now, there is nothing to share in terms of updates. 
    • Which is still a form of manipulation. Granted it won't work because Ted isn't interested in Leslie at all no matter how much she tries to make him look like a horrible person. When you consider the situation with Hayley it does make sense why Anita would take that approach.
    • Another good one and great episode to start off the week. Confrontations, character moments, movement, and an awful lot of bubbles on display. lol.    I've found myself liking Sara Bibel breakdowns. And this episode might be why. I sense movement of plot going on. And Jazmen being on script duty has already become a highlight for me. So this episode dealing with more fallout from the SilkPress/Eva reveal was another good one. And even got a solid B plot moving in the Vanessa/Doug/Joey storyline...which I just said yesterday...has been the only one of the B plots...that has real build to it so far.    You are not a real soap pariah until you get dragged and a community treats you as such. So basically another old school soap vibe that Eva is giving me. Watching her trying to find her footing only to be read by just about everyone she has encountered has been great. It makes her so rootable. And she's played by an excellent actress. Cuz that quivering lip at the end with her and Anita...ooooo some of you all seem heated for Anita making poor girl cry even though it's her fault. That's great acting. Not to mention writing.    I also love that the side character got their point of view. I loved Mona moving about town trying to get info to avenge Nicole in a way. And she dragged Eva. She read Silk Press Sheila. And that 'enjoy the burn' was well-said. And did I see a spark with Mona and Randy? Hmmm. I don't mind.

          I also didn't mind that Martin/Kat scene. I enjoy their sibling relationship so far. And I feel like the right thing to do to keep them close as they support their mother. It even made sense that Martin would soften to the idea of Eva as part of the family given their brief scene at the start of this storyline. Meanwhile, NO from Kat. lol. And she's already questioning the DNA test...OF COURSE SHE IS. But again...that avail...her and Eva being the SAME age. Twins. I just felt the writers are really foreshadowing that heavy. Meanwhile, the SilkPress saga is far from over.   I love the parade of Ted Visitors. LMAO!!! I thought Dani vs Ted was pretty good. But I about fell out when Anita walked up in there like old school Sonny Corinthos. And I hollered with Anita wiping the floor with Ted with Dani in the background like Jason Morgan. Watch your step, Theodore. Anita was giving Boss Bitca and I was living.    That said...I didn't like Anita making poor Eva cry. But as was said above...the stuff with Hayley is still too fresh on the Duprees' mind. So sadly understandable, Anita set down the law.    Uh oh. Dani saw Vanessa with Joey. Granted they are not the BFFs, but I do hope that that means we are getting a Dani/Vanessa scene. And I loved that we got another step in the B storyline. Doug fighting (and failing) in his addiction. Meanwhile, Vanessa resisted hers. And Joey did not look happy.    And saying the best for last. I LOVE Nicole vs Silk Press Sheila. Ooooo Nicole got under her skin good. And I loved it. I also hollered at Silk Press couldn't even be fake nice for 5 whole minutes to her. DD did soooooooo good. The body language. The looks. The inflections on just the right words. I LOOOVVVE that confrontation and looking forward to more since she clearly verbally cracked SilkPress's face. Meanwhile, I was just as taken aback at Ted showing up at Silk Press Sheila's place. I also thought it was another fantasy. Nope. And then SilkPress put the moves on him and went just a little more cray cray in the coda.    Just such a great episode.

    • Nope still in development. ABC/Disney are having their upfronts today though, so there's a very slight hope we might get an update.
    • Has anyone ever posted January and February 1974? I can't find them in the 'Look Back to 75' thread. Thanks.
    • Did January and February 1974 DSN ever get posted? I can't seem to find it in this thread.
    • I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.
