http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/23/BROTHERS-AND-SISTERS----State-of-the-Union.aspx All you mothers out there listen up; when your daughters tell you they are going on a weekend getaway together, it isn’t an open invitation for you to join along. I don’t mean to sound harsh, but honestly, if your daughters want you to come along, they will ask you. Poor Nora (Sally Field) learns that lesson the hard way on tonight’s episode of BROTHERS AND SISTERS, after Kitty (Calista Flockhart) and Sarah (Rachel Griffiths) make the mistake of telling their mother about heir weekend plans. It isn’t that the girls don’t love their mother and enjoy spending time with her; it’s just that sometimes sisters need a little bonding time of their own. Unfortunately, the weekend turns out just as you would expect, you know lots of fighting and hurt feelings. But this is the Walker family and they always end up making nice in the end. After all, it isn’t as if they don’t love each other deeply, they just don’ always like each other is all. While the Walker women are away, Justin (Dave Annable) is at home trying to recuperate from his war injury and growing dependence on his pain meds. Poor Justin tried everything to keep from taking those pills, but his family wouldn’t let it go. Now it may take even longer to get over his injury, since it involves weaning himself off the medication as well. Meanwhile, it looks as if Kevin (Mathew Rhys) may be starting to understand his uncle Saul (Ron Rifkin) a little better than the rest of the family, as he starts to question his past. Since the beginning of the season, we’ve been getting not so sublte hints that uncle Saul may have more in common with Kevin than just genetics, but I’m surprised it’s taken anyone in the family this long to get a clue. After all, this family is notorious for getting into each other’s business and this is just the kind of personal stuff they feed off of. But they are always there for each other when they need support the most, and when you’re going through a divorce, you need as much support as possible. 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/2007/10/23/BROTHERS-AND-SISTERS----State-of-the-Union.aspx 77 60
