I honestly don't have much to say about this week's episode of Brothers & Sisters so this post is going to shorter than my other blog entries on Brothers & Sisters. It definitely wasn't the best episode ever of Brothers & Sisters, but it definitely wasn't the worst episode ever either. One very good thing about this episode was that I thought that this episode set up for this Sunday's season finale just perfectly. That being said, let's move onto discussing the story lines that were featured in this episode.
First up, I found the blackmail storyline with Senator McCallister fairly boring. I don't have much to say on this storyline other than the fact that I liked that Kevin helped the senator deal with the blackmailer. I also think that Kevin helping the senator with the blackmailer will be one of the things that helps Kevin's encounter with Jason McCallister in the season finale go much better since their blind date in Game Night was a disaster, and it was basically Kevin's dislike for the senator that caused his date with Jason to go so badly.
I really liked the scene where Nora and Rebecca have tea together and talk. I thought that it was very well done by both Sally Field Emily VanCamp.
I thought that the senator taking Justin to see the injured soldiers at the hospital was a very nice thing for the senator to do. I enjoyed that storyline.
As for the senator's proposal to Kitty, I thought that was very sweet and romantic. Although, I have to admit that I've always been a real sucker for romance.
I really enjoyed Sarah and Joe's storyline this week. It was pretty dramatic, but I still really enjoyed it. The scene where Sarah and Joe talk to their kids about what's going on between them was very well done. All of the actors who were in that scene did a great job, especially Rachael Griffiths and the actress who plays Paige. I'm really impressed with the actress who plays Paige's acting given the fact that she's so young.
Last, but not least and the saddest story line of the episode: Tommy and Julia deal with the premature birth of their twins. That storyline was so sad, and I think it's just tragic that baby William died. This story line really made me cry. The ending of the episode when Tommy and Julia are with baby Elizabeth while the rest of the family look at them through the window of the nursery was very nice though. It's been really nice to see a lot of Tommy and Julia lately since they're probably two of the most underused characters on the show.
All in all, this definitely wasn't the best episode ever of Brothers & Sisters, but it wasn't the worst episode ever either. I thought that it was the perfect setup for this Sunday's season finale which I am really, really looking forward to.
