Retcon Patrol: 2-09 “Holy Matrimony!” Part 2

Today we continue our look for inconsistent or comment-worthy moments in the Brothers & Sisters second season with a look at the third part of Episode 9. Read Part 1 and then hop right in here.

08:09
I am distracted during Nora’s little speech to Kitty by that top Kitty’s wearing. What is that? Looks like a nightgown.

08:32
Actually, Kitty didn’t lose herself completely after marriage, to the detriment of her marriage. Fair enough, I guess the same thing could be said of Robert.

09:00
This is really a cute little scene between Nora and Kitty, though. I don’t think Calista Flockhart gets nearly enough credit for the really lived-in performance she gives on this show.

10:05
Isaac’s wedding gift is going to be flying to L.A. and squashing a scandal. Did they register for that?

11:29
Still hating the brown bridesmaids’ dresses.

12:42
And … Nora’s dress bears absolutely no resemblance to her old wedding dress. Did they just take it apart and make a new dress out of the skirt? (I see Nora has the same problem I do keeping straps from slipping down.)

15:20
Why would Kevin want to call him “Uncle Jack” anyway? At most, he would be Kitty’s uncle? Awkward small talk, I guess.

15:55
Golly, remember back when Kevin and Robert basically couldn’t stand each other, instead of the BFFs they are now?

16:47
Kitty wishes her dad was there. Because nothing sets a marriage off right like being walked down the aisle by a guy who cheated on his wife for decades.

To be continued.

Retcon Patrol: 2-09 “Holy Matrimony!” Part 1

by

131Today, we’re continuing on with our summer-long journey through the second season of Brothers & Sisters, from our perspective here at the end of Season Three. I’ll be looking for contradictions between where the Walkers were then and where they’re at now, and also commenting on how the episodes look in retrospect. I’ll time my observations to the playback of the DVD, for those who want to view along. Share your own reflections in the comments.

And now, Part 1 of Episode 9, “Holy Matrimony!”

00:06
Again with the opening the previouslies with Lena and Tommy in bed. Believe me, we remember. It’s burned into our eyeballs. No need to review.

02:17
I’m totally with Kitty on her upset over having to come up with wedding vows at the last minute. People assume that writers can write anything just like that, but personal stuff’s still hard.

02:27
And now the slow pan up to Lena and Justin in bed. Nope, still blech. (And … Justin’s wearing his dogtags?)

03:20
Justin waxes philosophical about what kind of man would cheat on his wife and lie about it. Hmm, Lena knows one. Come to think of it, what kind of woman sleeps with a married man and then, when his wife comes back, hooks up with his bro? I am having trouble finding any redeeming value in this character, even now the second time through. She’s too bland to be a villain and too slutty to be sympathetic.

04:40
I enjoy having Grandma Ida mentioned and reviled, but I’m glad we didn’t actually have to see her.

05:40
Kevin mentions that the only people who know Tommy’s slept with Lena are Kevin and Saul. And, of course, Lena, wherein lies the problem.

33:41
Sarah was so right early on about the unsoundness of this China deal. Shoulda pulled the plug right there, as cute as Steven Weber was to have around for a while. I hate it that most of what we know of Sarah as a great businesswoman is what we’ve been told; we’re not shown it very much.

34:55
I miss this old office set of Kevin’s, with the glass doors and all the windows. Among the many sad things about him quitting the law firm and going to work for Robert was the loss of this sleek and pretty place.

38:07
“Is it good fine, or is it passive aggressive fine?” says Kitty, though indeed that question could frequently be asked of her.

39:21
This idea of Nora dying and remodeling her old wedding dress is kinda silly. Really a lot of work and expense to go to for a little bit of symbolism.

39:52
Dating a guy’s brother to make him jealous without telling either brother that the other guy is his brother is a pretty tricky little maneuver Lena’s pulling off here. Lacks its maximum effectiveness without Tommy knowing who she’s dating, though. She lacks the killer instinct.

40:32
I love Lyle Lovett, and I’m happy to see him anywhere, but this little onstage thing is just silly. Plus this song he’s singing, without the slightly rearranged lyrics, is really about infidelity and breakups.

Today we continue our look for inconsistent or comment-worthy moments in the Brothers & Sisters second season with a look at the fourth part of Episode 8. Read Part 1, 2 and 3 and then hop right in here.

27:26
Hey, it’s a different coffee place. Are they still using the one from Season 1 in other scenes? This one looks like somebody’s backyard. Or maybe a drug den of some sort.

28:47
Love the dancing with Travis. They should totally have him shadow their dance at the wedding.

30:51
Lena dating Justin surprises even Holly. Perhaps one day we’ll find out that William had a brother, and she dallied with him, too. But for the moment, Lena’s one-upping her in skanky behavior toward Walker men.

31:27
They’ve got some creative zig-zag parting going on to give Rebecca long enough bangs to sweep to the side. Yes, I am obsessed with her hair.

31:33
Holly is remembering the good old days when Rebecca didn’t care what people thought of her, and did whatever she wanted. Would that be like, she didn’t care what people thought about her dating her teacher, and she didn’t care what people thought about her running off to Chicago to pursue him, and living on credit cards, and kissing her sister’s husband? Stuff like that? The same stuff that she’s all worried about Rebecca going back to at the end of Season 3. Maybe she had a period of wholesome wildness somewhere before that.

32:37
Clearly, Justin still needs somebody keeping an eye on him and his recovery. These Walkers, they set the kid up and then let him go.

14:07
Julia says she wants to take back things she said, and Tommy says he wants to, too — but he didn’t really say anything, did he? It was mostly her going off on him forcing William’s death. Now, he certainly like to take back things he did, for sure.

16:55
Justin is indeed good at making amends. He is the Master of the Puppy-Dog Eyes. People who love him will forgive him anything. Ryan was a fool to think he could overcome that in trying to get the guy in bad with Rebecca.

17:14
Boy, Lena didn’t waste much time going after Justin in the wake of Tommy’s reunion with Julia. Shouldn’t he, as part of his recovery, not go out with the girl who was sharing his pills?

17:50
And, Chevy Chase comes aboard as Nora’s first love. He did okay with the part, but … it seems like kind of a waste of a plotline, and a high-profile guest star. Didn’t really go much of anywhere, like many plotlines in this second season. Or, anyway, where it went was a set-up to a different romance with a different guest star.

22:03
Kitty asks Rebecca why she’s not bringing anybody to the wedding. Did they send out invitations? Have there been RSVPs? Didn’t she just invite Rebecca, like, yesterday? I guess it’s a discussion we missed.

24:21
Scotty is being such a grown-up. They really revamped this character for round 2.

04:53
I love how generic California suburb Holly’s house looks from the outside. I grew up around houses like that, with the same desert-y mix of vegetation.

05:06
Rebecca has the offending bangs pulled back by a clip in the middle of her forehead. Looks weird, but better than down.

05:59
Of course Rebecca’s invited to the wedding! She’s Kitty’s sister! For now.

06:33
Here comes trouble — Graham’s first meeting at Ojai. I kind of hate the way that storyline went, actually. But plenty of time to whine about that later.

08:20
Wow, Lena’s outfit is definitely NSFW. Love the look Holly’s giving her.

08:38
Ew! I know the rules of bra-strap visibility have changed since my day, but … black bra straps on the shoulders with a red halter dress? Would that be cool even for a tramp like Lena? Put the jacket back on, chickie.

09:35
Lena is wearing her hair pulled back in the middle just like Rebecca. Was there a memo?

11:23
Are Kitty and Robert taking lessons for a nice wedding waltz, or Dancing With the Stars?

13:39
I guess this is an early example of Robert putting politics ahead of the personal, but clearly he’s really just using it as an excuse to get out of hearing Kitty dither about dancing for hours on end.

I’ll time my observations to the playback of the DVD, for those who want to view along. Share your own reflections in the comments.

And now, Part 1 of Episode 8, “Something New.”

00:29
The previouslies are devoted to the general mess all Walkers (including Rebecca, who’s still a Walker at this point) have made of their love lives.

01:53
It’s the “discuss the song playing when you lost your virginity” conversation. Anybody have a family in which you’d do this in front of your mom, or even your siblings? Serves them right that Nora chimed in.

02:30
I like how generally unruffled Robert is by Walker madness, like being asked what song you lost your virginity to the minute you walk in the room. He’s game. Guess he knows from wacky families.

02:39
Uh oh. Robert just let slip that he’s talked to Jason. More than once. You’d think Jason might have warned him not to mention it in front of Kevin. Or maybe, in the presence of Walkers, secrets just jump out.

03:08
Cute throwaway detail here, of Tommy and Justin sharing a set of earphones throughout the scene.

03:52
Well, now Nora knows what story to tell if she ever has to clear a room of all her children.

Today we continue our look for inconsistent or comment-worthy moments in the Brothers & Sisters second season with a look at the final part of Episode 7. Read Part 1, 2, 3, and 4, and then hop right in here.

35:13
Saul says, “You don’t have to know everything, Nora. We all have secrets.” Who’s this “all” you’re talking about, buddy? Clearly you haven’t been watching the show.

36:56
Saul and Nora should have been having that discussion in the pantry.

37:28
Robert comes home to the Walker house bearing bagels from Iowa made from corn. At least the third time he’s brought food to troubled situations.

38:59
Brief deer-in-the-headlights look from Robert when he realizes he has to agree with Kitty about this thing he doesn’t really want or lose her. Good thing he has politician skills to fall back on.

39:41
Lena’s all hurt that Tommy’s dumping her, and says “I’m sorry it took you this long to figure it out.” But they’ve been together, what, maybe three weeks? It’s not like she’s Holly and he’s William and he’s blowing off decades of devotion.

40:14
Aww. Scotty leaves Kevin pastries and coffee. The way to a man’s heart.

40:26
The Walker’s pool looks massive in this shot. And also radioactive.

41:02
One thing I’ll say about Dave Annable’s performance in this storyline: I don’t necessarily buy him as a vicious drug addict, but he’s been remarkably consistent with the bum leg. Nice awkward sit-down by the pool here.

41:37
So it’s warm enough in Pasadena that they’re sticking their feet in the pool, but cold enough that Nora’s wearing a sweater and Justin’s wearing a blanket? I suppose the pool’s heated.

To be continued with Episode 8.

Today we continue our look for inconsistent or comment-worthy moments in the Brothers & Sisters second season with a look at the fourth part of Episode 7. Read Part 1, 2, and 3, and then hop right in here.

21:14
So Tommy’s idea of brotherly support is free-throwing endless crumpled-paper balls into Justin’s wastebasket, and complaining when Justin might want to upchuck into it? Nice.

22:15
The fact that these people are unable to either keep other people’s secrets or maintain a poker face to keep their own makes me wonder again how on earth it is possible that they share genetic material with William Walker,The Unknowable King. Nora, fess up!

23:15
This zipped sweater Robert’s wearing to ice skate with this daughter does not look like anything the senator would own. Or put on. Perhaps he borrowed it from the skating rink’s lost and found.

26:21
Tommy sums up the state of the Walkers: “My wife left me and took our child, Joe left Sarah for his ex-wife, and there’s a drug addict in the bathroom.” He might have added, “Kitty just lost a baby her fiance isn’t sure he wanted, and our uncle is in the closet.”

27:25
Nora’s bugging me this episode. Now she’s all over Tommy that he’s holding Justin too tight, and “What’s wrong with him.” She totally should have gone to Sarah’s house and hid out.

27:50
The siblings are all clearly worried Mom’s going to let Justin out of the house. And … they’re just standing there, letting her make the decision?

27:57
Ah, tough mama Nora’s returned, the one who yelled at Justin outside of the police station in early Season 1. Justin could have used you a few weeks ago, lady.

28:46
Kevin says, of the coffee he’s pouring at 4 a.m., “Careful, Mom made it, we may never sleep again.” Has their been prior mention of Nora making alarm-worthily-strong coffee? I always thought she was perfect in the kitchen.

29:05
Tommy says, of his Lena affair, “I feel guilty and terrible, but I don’t stop.” Maybe after they detox Justin, Tommy can be next.

29:16
I take Kevin saying he’s lonely here to be a missing-Jason kind of lonely, and not an existential lonely, as Saul seemed to be accusing him of.

32:02
So far, Robert has admitted his relief over the miscarriage to a political dirty-tricks specialist he’s made no secret of despising, and the political advisor whose entire team he is now firing. His unwise leaking of that secret is positively Walker-like.

34:12
Kitty says she might be a bad mother because she’s all sharp points and crankiness and she fights with people. And that’s pretty much what she’s been like since she became a mom.

34:29
Having Justin fall asleep in her arms makes Kitty realize how much she wants a little drug addict of her own one day.

15:56
“Who’d chain you to the radiator and poke you with a stick?” says Sarah, knitting and staring at the detoxing Justin. That sounds like fun. Let’s do that!

16:34
“I actually consider myself a pretty honest … thieving lowlife addict,” says Justin. This is how we like our boy, cracking wise.

17:07
“This is just the lull between hell, and hell with vomiting,” says Sarah. They’re a regular rehab roundtable here.

17:53
Saul notes that the only dangerous thing on Justin’s desk is an old sandwich. But he does not remove said sandwich. Ew.

18:12
I’m not sure how much standing Saul has to shame Tommy about his affair, having aided and abetted William’s for so long. But he certainly wins the staredown.

18:33
Nora is being asked to stop mothering Justin. Seems like she didn’t do such a great job smother-mothering when he got hooked on the pills. Unlike Kitty, I think Nora should feel free to blame herself.

19:31
Can’t believe Saul so freely fills Kevin in on Tommy’s indiscretions. He’s lost his secret-keeping abilities.

19:59
Well, okay, now he’s denying that he’s gay again, so some secrets he can hold onto.

20:17
Saul says Kevin is one of the loneliest people he has ever known. Really? Is “lonely” the word you would use to describe Kevin? At best, it’s a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

20:46
Saul has the right idea: Use a show of righteous indignation to get out of watching an addict detox all night. Smart man!

Today we continue our look for inconsistent or comment-worthy moments in the Brothers & Sisters second season with a look at the second part of Episode 7. Read Part 1 and then hop right in here.

07:04
Justin has a good point that they really didn’t need a plot to lure him to his own house. Obviously a contrivance to get Rebecca and Holly into this scene, so Justin can show how screwed up he is by being mean to sweet, bangs-wearing Rebecca.

07:46
And Justin also has a point that Nora’s the one who forced him to take the pills in the first place, and now she says she was wrong. Maybe the family needs an intervention.

08:09
Since when has saying things they’re going to regret ever stopped a Walker free-for-all? Nora in particular has specialized in saying things she’s going to regret.

08:23
Dave Annable is just too likeable to convincingly be the guy lashing out at his family. He looks like a little puppy trying to look tough.

09:24
“Maybe you should crack open a bottle of wine so you can sit in a room without killing each other.” The Walker culture of alcohol use does put them on thin ice when fighting drug abuse.

09:56
Kitty’s going to lock him out and call the police if he doesn’t stop, because she’d rather see him in jail like this. And this is … bitchy about his family, like all the rest of them? That better be one big cell.

10:28
Ooh, Kitty plays the miscarriage card.

10:53
I bet if Justin made a run for it, while everybody’s standing there all teary-eyed and emotional in the wake of Kitty’s speech, he could make it to the door.

11:29
That’s quite a segue, from the house of pain to the King of Pork.

13:38
Saul needs to find Tommy. And of course, Holly’s got a good guess where he is. But do they really need to have every possible Walker there? Given the bad blood between these brothers in the past, you’d think Tommy being missing might be an advantage. (On the other hand, too bad Robert’s campaigning, because he seems like about the only person in Justin’s life who treats him like a grown-up.)

13:56
Gah, another scene of Tommy and Lena fooling around. Did Balthazar Getty have it in his contract that he had to have a certain number of canoodling scenes each season? First Julia, now Lena.

14:26
If Justin was hit by a bus and near death, that’s an emergency about Tommy’s brother. If he needed, say, a piece of a liver, that’s an emergency. The family deciding to go into the intervention business? Not so much. But dummy Lena could still have taken a message and made like she’d try to find him.

15:05
Nora thinks they can do rehab, because she did such a good job overseeing his pain pill use.

15:35
Of course, this is like a dream come true for Nora — an excuse for making her kids all stay with her for a day.

And now, Part 1 of Episode 7, “36 Hours.”

00:05
Ack! Previouslies begin with Lena and Tommy smooching. No fair.

01:52
Wasn’t it cute back when Kitty could prep Robert for campaigning even while dealing with her own personal problems? Whatever happened to that girl?

02:31
Love Travis’s expression when he announces that Robert’s daughter will be arriving soon.

03:18
Rebecca says Nora doesn’t know that Justin’s using. And yet, Dave Annable’s acting on this issue has not exactly been subtle. This is what bugged me most about this plotline: That Nora forced the guy to take the meds by swearing she’s going to be on him like a hawk … and then she apparently trusts that he’s doing what he says. For someone who’s supposed to be a tough mama, she really bailed out on him.

04:00
Drug sources are so unreliable. Justin’s going to have to take to knocking over pharmacies.

04:31
Nice phone-acting job by Rebecca, luring Justin into the Walker trap.

04:51
And so, the Rallying for Trouble phone chain begins.

05:20
Tommy’s canoodling with Lena leads him to miss the phone-chain call. Bad Tommy. For so many reasons.

06:00
So did Nora leave her purse sitting there on the table as Justin-bait? Sucker.

06:37
Justin’s pretty sharp even in his drugged condition to assume this is an intervention and Rebecca set him up. Given everyone’s glum faces, they could just as well be announcing someone’s death. How ’bout Tommy? Would have saved us a lot of Season 3 trouble.

Emmy’s love Sally, snub everybody else

by

Sally Field Emmy speechIt looks like Sally Field is destined to be the standard bearer for Brothers & Sisters. The Emmy nominations came out today, and Ma Walker got the show’s sole nod. No other acting, writing, directing, casting, photographing, nothing. Nada. It’s Nora or bust.

Which, in addition to the lack of respect the show gets, is too bad for Calista Flockhart and Rob Lowe, who I thought did great work this year. Their acting was the only redeeming quality to a storyline I really, really hated. Given the stunning number of categories in the Emmys (I nodded off halfway through reading the list and had to go back and do a search for “Brothers & Sisters” to make sure I didn’t miss anything), you’d think they could add something like “Worst Plot Twists.” I think this past season would be a shoo-in for a nomination, though Grey’s Anatomy might give it a run for the money for the trophy.

33:19
Sarah: If anything happens to her …
Joe: You’ll blame me.
Yes, Joe. Yes, we will. Because that is the pissy it’s-all-about-me tone you always, always take. Grow up. And get a haircut.

34:40
Kitty says she’s been off caffeine for so long, and appears to be talking about having given it up when she found out she was pregnant. But how long was she pregnant? Haven’t these last couple of episodes been over a pretty short period of time? It was, what, two weeks before Sarah’s first weekend, which is this one? Although I suppose, when you’re talking about giving up coffee, each day seems like a week.

36:27
Go, Rebecca! Way to not buy into Justin’s manipulation. If you’d done that back when he first started taking too many pills, he’d be a lot better off.

36:50
In a line written by the Department of Meaningful Metaphor, Paige tells Justin “I do things that I know will get me in trouble, but I do them anyhow.” Nice of you to provide an object lesson for your uncle, honey, but next time, run away from your dad’s house, willya?

38:19
Awww, Joe sees the light and behaves like a grown-up. Sarah should have put Paige up to this weeks ago.

40:53
Robert’s giving kind of a lot of potentially dangerous information about his relationship with Kitty to Isaac, a guy he’s sworn to despise and who has been known to be less than scrupulous. How dumb a politician is Robert, anyway?

41:27
I do really like how unflappable Isaac is in the face of it all, though.

41:40
So is Kitty back in her old room now, the one that Rebecca just vacated? Did they even have time to change the sheets?

Up next: Episode 7.

24:26
Kitty and Nora walk into Robert’s place in Santa Barbara. Which I feel compelled to keep mentioning is not exactly around the corner from Pasadena.

25:45
Lena’s looking particularly trampy here for her night out on the town with Rebecca and Justin.

26:02
Lena designed a wine label. Shouldn’t Holly have made her head of marketing or something? That’s about the career trajectory that Rebecca had at Ojai.

26:15
What’s with this hairband Rebecca’s wearing? It’s really not a maturity improvement over the bangs.

26:27
Justin shows off his knee mobility to impress a pretty girl. At least it’s not your typical pick-up line.

26:52
Awk-ward. Lena has to talk about “her guy” without revealing that it’s Justin’s cheatin’ bro. She could just admit that he’s married, though.

27:42
Aw, Lena and Justin are bonding over stolen pain pills. What a sweetheart she was. And what a jerk Justin is being.

28:20
Kevin, Kevin, point of relationship etiquette here. Do not leave pathetic answering-machine messages for your far-away boyfriend when your ex-boyfriend is sitting right there. You’ve got a cell phone, no excuses.

28:55
Scotty’s got new serious-guy glasses. Part of his makeover, I guess.

29:12
Nicely layered sorrowful facial expressions from Rachel Griffiths, first grief for Kitty’s loss, then for how disappointed Paige is going to be at the cancelled wedding.

29:50
“You fight and you yell!” yells Paige, fighting with her mother.

30:08
The old “guy in a crowded hallway knocks you into the girl you want to kiss” routine. The crutch is a nice touch, Justin.

30:20
Busted! Rebecca sees Justin smooching her friend. That is one crowded hallway.

31:02
Gads, Lena, pull your pants up, girl. I was hoping that was a belt, but indeed, it’s a band of belly.

31:20
The Music of Sadness chimes right in here when Robert comes home to sad Kitty. No restraint needed.

32:45
And, the Music of Sadness segues into the Music of Worrisome Drama when Sarah finds Paige’s bedroom empty.
