http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/15/BROTHERS-AND-SISTERS----History-Repeating.aspx Now that Justin (Dave Annable) is home safe, all should be right with the Walker family, unfortunately, it’s far from it. First of all he is still trying to bravely fight through the pain of his war injury without the help of medication. Because he’s a drug addict, Justin is afraid he’ll become dependent on his medication for more than just his physical pain. While his efforts are valiant, they aren’t very practical. Nora (Sally Field) would be the last person to enable her son, but what mother wants to see their child in pain? Quit a predicament, but it’s frustrating to see somebody you love in such intense agony, so she tries – once again – to get him to give in. Even his loving and worshipful new baby sister, Rebecca (Emily VanCamp), can’t get through to Justine. But, with two angels of mercy at his beck and call, he has more love and support than a lot of other soldiers returning from the war. Meanwhile, Kitty (Calista Flockhart) has some troubles of her own to deal with, namely Robert’s (Rob Lowe) ex-wife. Wow, that’s gotta be awkward, and Kitty is already a pretty high-strung person so this one really throws her for a loop. Still, it’s better to be the wife coming in than the one going out, which is something Sarah (Rachel Griffiths) is learning more and more about now that she’s in the process of a divorce herself. Maybe Sarah can give Kitty a few tips on how to approach the spurned wife. And because we all know that the second anything happens to one of the Walkers it spreads throughout the rest of the family like a wild fire in the middle of a Santa Ana windstorm, you know there’s always a chance Kevin (Mathew Rhys) will add his two cents worth as well. But really, considering the fact that Kevin pledged his love and devotion – not too mention his faithfulness – to his new boyfriend, who is away on a mission from God for a year, and is now considering a dalliance with his ex, his word should be taken with a grain of salt. 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/2007/10/15/BROTHERS-AND-SISTERS----History-Repeating.aspx 77 60
