Retcon Patrol 1-09: “Mistakes Were Made 2″ Part 3

by Terri

Today we continue our search for inconsistent or comment-worthy moments in the Brothers & Sisters first season with a look at the third part of Episode 9. Read Part 1 and Part 2 if you need to catch up, then dive right in here with Part 3.

17:11
Nora slicing stuff in her kitchen flashes back to Nora slicing stuff in her kitchen. So throughout this episode, the flashbacks are in Nora’s head, and they lack that blinding white flash of light that the flashbacks had in the previous episode, which were all Justin’s flashbacks. Don’t know if that’s on purpose, or just more episode-to-episode inconsistency, but I’m glad it’s gone. Looks like Nora’s bad hair is a little bit longer, too.

17:39
Okay, here’s where Nora gets to blame everything on Kitty, because she feels Justin’s enlistment isn’t a mistake, and if it is, it’s his mistake to make. Is that one of the mistakes that were made?

18:54
Kitty walks out of the kitchen after her mother accuses her of not caring about the family, and William’s standing there watching her go looking a lot like a ghost. Is that part of the segue back to the present, or is Tom Skerritt just looking particularly gray?

19:14
Sarah says having insurgents fire at him is what got Justin in trouble in the first place. Sure sounds like he was in trouble a looong time before that.

20:22
Would an intern’s accusation really hold so much weight that the boss would call in one of the stars with the intern there and question her about it? Wouldn’t he at least have checked for proof before calling Kitty on it?

21:07
I kind of like mean Kitty here, taking down chirpy Amber. Wouldn’t have minded if she hadn’t made the on-air confession and had kept a little moral ambiguity going. But I guess we need that to get her into the senator’s employ.

22:42
And so here she goes, tearfully telling her tale to Warren. Little does he know, he’s not going to last on this show much past Kitty’s confession. It’s almost time to leave the talk show behind, especially because Kitty’s not really sufficiently bitchy enough to be on a show like this.

Continue on to Part 4.
