(S01E20) Ow. Watching this episode of Brothers and Sisters hurt. It hurt in that really good way that results from really good writing. The writing was so good tonight that I really believed every character. And that is the really interesting thing about this show so far: the writing is the changing nominator. The actors stay the same, but sometimes the writing is really uneven, and other times, like tonight, it just crackles.

(S03E05) Did you notice that there were multiple closeups of people stirring bowls or cups of food in this episode? I love that because this episode was all about stirring things up. Oh, boy. Did I actually say that I liked Nora? Wow. I totally got sucked in. She did some master manipulation this week, eh? She is playing Lynette and Tom like a violin (which may change next week). Boy, could she have made Lynette dance any better than she has in the past few weeks? But seriously? Whether or not Nora is being a totally manipulative bitch, should Lynette really support Tom in his dream of opening a pizza place?
