Retcon Patrol 1-11: “Family Day” Part 4
Today we continue our search for inconsistent or comment-worthy moments in the Brothers & Sisters first season with a look at the fourth part of Episode 11. Read Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 if you need to catch up, then dive right in here with Part 4.
24:30
When exactly has Sarah had time to be “reading all these book on addiction for Justin”?
24:53
Couldn’t Joe and Sarah have maybe talked about what they were going to say to Gabe before they confronted him? I assumed the jump cut was for effect, not because there was nothing between Sarah introducing the topic and Joe talking to his son. A little conversation should have prevented the kind of undercutting Joe’s doing of Sarah here.
26:02
There’s a woman sitting next to Kevin as they wait for Justin’s turn at therapy who I totally thought was Rebecca until I realized that Rebecca wasn’t part of the family yet. Very disorienting.
27:42
Hey, Nora! It’s okay to be forgiving of your children, but when they’re specifically telling you that they need to apologize for their therapy to work, you might want to think about shutting up. (Plus … why so all-forgiving of Justin and not, say, Kitty?)
30:14
Nora says her family is usually much better behaved than this. And when would that be? I don’t think we’ve seen much of that family.
30:20
This family free-for-all is actually pretty hilarious, except for the fact that it is tragically not about Justin, for whom they’re supposed to be here.
31:25
Aw, all little Justin wants is to be fought with. Hey, everybody, let’s all go out on the yoga field and beat him up.
