I still hate the road the writers have taken with Rebecca. This character has developed so much in the last year and then to take a complete step backwards? Bad writing in my opinion.

I have to give ABC credit. Very few networks would have such a long kiss between two men occur on network television. Personally, I like Scotty. He's the perfect foil to Kevin's often times self centered nature.

I agree that Justin and Rebecca have chemistry, and I believe that prospect, along with learning that Rebecca is in fact NOT his sister, caused Justin to freak out, resulting in his extreme reaction and subsequent kicking Rebecca out. (It seems to be a Walker family trait, focusing on something else [her lie] other than the aspect that is really the issue [his feelings for her, and the possibilities opened because she isn't his sister]).

I also agree with Mrs. Eldubya's insight into Rebecca not being "a saint in the future". However, I believe that the Walker's reaction (most importantly what Justin does) will determine if she will go down a bad path. I can't help but think of Justin and Rebecca becoming a couple sometime in the future, would it be possible? too weird? would she still be accepted? I can't help it, but I still think of her as a Walker despite the obvious lack of blood relation. I have a bad feeling that Rebecca's reasons for keeping the secret may (sadly) keep blowing up in her face, I just hope that the family doesn't go grouping her with Holly thinking that she was simply manipulating them the whole time and in it for the money (or something along those lines). I do, however, have a hard time picturing Nora having these views, or sitting idly by while her children bash and attack Rebecca, but she might be preoccupied with the reality of Holly's status now that it is determined that they have no familial connections. Nora has always seemed like the voice of reason and clarity when it comes to complex situations such as these, and I hope that if it comes to it, she will be able to sort out what implications Rebecca's paternity has on the family (hopefully ending up with some type of HAPPY conclusion for Rebecca).

That about sums it up for now. (Still not convinced about the marriage between Kevin and Scotty). Where are Tommy and Julia? What's happening with them?

I LOOOOOOOOOVE SCOTTY!!!, he is so sweet and adorable, how can anyone dislike him??? :)
I think that the wedding will happen (so justin and rebecca, the have an unbeliveable chemistry)

I LOVE Scotty - and I LOVE Kevin. I love Kevin and Scotty. I love that they are getting married. I am so hyper right now.

Matthew Rhys was spectacular last night - spectacular in the scene with DA (I giggled so hard), RR (awww!) and LM (back to heaven). Go Rhys.

Alex took the words right out of my mouth and said it better than I could. I love Rebecca, not so much Holly.

Regarding David, I seem to remember him telling Rebecca that he was going to make it up to her no matter what, when she felt she had lost the whole Walker clan. I think he "made it up" to Rebecca by his abrupt departure sacrificing even his love for her and for Holly. Cheers to him for being a loving and understanding birth Dad.

It's interesting to read other people's opinions on the characters. I was especially surprised at your views of Rebecca and how she is this manipulative somewhat egocentric girl (or something along these lines). While I know she was once that girl (Kiss with Joe), I believe that she has changed. When I saw the scenes where Justin and her mother kicked her out I felt sorry for her. I understand her reasons for driving David away, and for lying to Justin, would you not want to preserve the happiness that you finally feel and have achieved in your life? I find Rebecca a tragic character, her own life is majorly composed of other's mistakes, lies, and more lies. She finally feels a sense of belonging and it is taken right out from under her. Yea lying to Justin was a dumb move...but can you really blame her? Maybe I can easily identify with her because my extended family is Walker-ish (big, chaotic, guests feel out of place), and wouldn't give it up for anything. I felt her pain when Justin refused to listen to her (in my opinion wrong, though valid) reasons for her dishonesty.

As for Holly, I dislike this woman. I can't help but feel that her taking the "moral highroad" is just to secure a stable position for herself in anticipation for when the whole family finds out about Rebecca's true blood ties. Sure Rebecca was being horrible, but Holly also needs to show some respect and stop with the lies.

Okay, it's time to end my Rebecca tangent, but I like her. I like her character, and I feel sad about her predicament and "Loss" (although we do not know what may happen...will she still be accepted?) of the Walker family.

As for Scotty? I don't like him. I agree with chrisb, he IS whiny and annoying. Anyways, I feel like the wedding wont happen, or that it won't last.

One I LOVE Scottie!

Two, I LOVE Rebecca and I don't think she is a manipulator. Holly is the bad guy in this situation. I was not happy that the first think Justin does is call her a liar. She wanted a family - who can blame her? And she told Justin the truth because she was guilt about him feeling bad imo.

The episode was pretty much perfection. It's no accident that Kitty was barely around (just kidding!). But really this episode was like the epitome of the phrase "shit hitting the fan" because WOW.

Thank GOD we did have one happy moment when Kevin proposed at the end. I pretty much squeed for five minutes.

I just adored Kevin at the end. I think Kevin and Justin are my two favorite siblings so to go from Justin being hurt to Kevin realizing he needed to propose was just the perfect yin and yang. Kevin was sort of like Billy Crystal in 'When Harry Met Sally'.... when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you sort of what the rest of your life to start right now. I know it's a simplistic way of thinking but it's was so right for that moment and I think the two actors captured it perfectly.

Maybe it was because I thought ABC was going to shy away from the whole gay thing and put Kevin's story line on the back burner. So having a gay wedding is the total opposite and those Family groups who think they are saving us can stuff it. It's 10 pm at night, we can have a gay story line don't you think? As long as people are watching and the ad dollars stay there, hopefully ABC will keep stories like this coming.

Brothers and Sisters save Sunday night now. Desperate Housewives needs more revamping, again, and then there is what? Home Makeovers, Detective Shows, reruns? B&S is the type of show I love over and over again and we just don't get enough of anymore. I would take this back to when Family was on tv with my all time favorite character... Buddy. :) Good character driven shows with great actors absorbed into their parts... and of course talented people behind the scenes. (There's a good article for TV Squads..... shows like B&S.... you have My So Called Life, Once and Again, China Beach, 30 something, Family, etc.... I would add Gilmore Girls but they were a little different since it was more based on humor with some drama vs drama with some humor.... still honorable mention for me!)

Ok, so I read this website everyday and by far my favorite show is Brothers & Sisters, so I look forward to your review every week and have never commented here or any other show recap, but I just have to because last night's episode I thought was almost pure perfection.

The acting was amazing, the writing and story lines were really well done, and the chemistry and emotions of all of the characters were almost to a perfection.

I have to tell you that I have never seen an amazing show with an amazing cast since Once & Again with Sela Ward back a few years ago.

This show combines slapstick humor with real family drama so well. They can do both really well, but what they do the best is make you feel like you are part of the Walker clan and can feel everything they feel.

The confrontation between Holly and Rebecca was amazing! Like you mentioned, you forget how manipulative Rebecca was/is, but Holly didn't back down finally to all of Rebecca's one liners to her. This was probably the best scene of this season and actually made me feel bad for Holly, who acted TO PERFECTION!

And of course the wedding proposal at the end was so well done and had me tearing...

So I have to say to the writers and actors of Brothers & Sisters, job well done. I tell all my friends and co-workers every day that you should be watching this amazing show and just can't say anything bad about it.

So thanks for the re-caps, you do a great job and I will start now commenting, even though next week is the finale, haha.
