http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/03/BROTHERHOOD----One-Too-Many-Mornings-3-4-8.aspx Out here in viewer’s paradise, we left the Caffee brother’s in a dither at the end of last season.  Michael (Jason Issacs) had been bludgeoned by longtime friend & police officer Declan Giggs (Ethan Embry).  Tommy Caffee (Jason Clarke), Michel’s brother, was confronted with the problems in his marriage & the worsening of the relationship he has with his wife.  Michael barely escapes the attack with his life and like we’ve come to expect things are neither good nor bad for the Caffee family, only crappy with a side of potential danger. The show starts with Tommy working on flipping a house.  He swings a sledgehammer and visualizes his wife cavorting with her dead, former flame, Carl Hobbs.  Next we find Michael in a doctors office, big brother is watching him struggle with a puzzle that most autistic kids could do with ease.  Poor Michael, he’s turned into Lenny from John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice & Men.  The doctor says that Michael has cognitive damage that may or may not go away with therapy and time.  Gee wiz, thanks for the assurance, he will either get better or he won’t.  I guess I should be considered an M.D. also. While all of this is going on Tommy spends the episode dealing with a bribery investigation being handled by the U.S Attorney’s Office and giving his wife, Eileen (Annabeth Gish), a really hard time about being a whore.  Eileen on the other hand continues on her path of destruction.  Turns out the monotony of family life is just too boring for this old minx.  We find her sitting on the floor of her house smoking a joint after throwing around all of Tommy’s laundry.  What a gem.  Later on, she runs into Carl’s widow and begins to befriend her.  Way to go slut bag, you only destroyed her life and now you want to suck her into your hellish vortex.  I guess that’s what friends are for. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/03/BROTHERHOOD----One-Too-Many-Mornings-3-4-8.aspx 77 60
