Retcon Patrol: 2-04 “States of the Union” Part 2
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 4. Read Part 1 and then hop right in here.
09:07
Ooh, I want Nora making me sandwiches and Scotty making me pancakes. Those don’t quite look like gourmet restaurant fare, but still yummy.
09:24
Kevin says he thinks he would know if his uncle were gay. Hey, we’ve only known the guy a little more than one season, and it seems pretty obvious.
09:29
Scotty cites as proof the way “he and this Milo guy” were looking at each other. Mostly, I think Saul’s been looking at Milo with terror.
10:37
Tommy’s showing off that incredible business acumen we’ve been hearing about by checking his cellphone during an important meeting and giving up quickly.
11:52
Yeah, it’s funny and all that the Walkers can’t function in a “quiet room,” but really, how old is Nora? Surely they have a hotel room where they can discuss her magazine article, or a lunch table later. She can’t shut up for a few minutes? I bought this “noisy Walkers, quiet place” thing better in the Season 3 season ender, when it made sense that she would be impatient to talk to Tommy. Here? For goodness sake, woman, put a sock in it.
13:43
Kitty wants Robert to be honest with her, but without her having to be honest about having seen the prenup. And this is a professional communicator?
14:30
Oh, horrors! Somebody thinks that Rebecca is Justin’s girlfriend! Oh, unthinkable thing!
15:26
There’s no talking allowed in the quiet area, no cell phones, I bet there’s a rule about no secret spilling too, Sarah.
15:34
Why do they always swear each other to secrecy before telling a secret? Has that vow ever, ever held?
15:56
That military hospital in San Diego should hire this spa lady to man their front desk. She doesn’t take any Walker guff.
16:16
Are Nora and Kitty wearing identical sweaters? Actually, Nora’s entire outfit is very Kitty-like. Maybe she lost her suitcase and had to borrow.
17:07
Memo to physical therapists: When the guy in the wheelchair who’s as high as a kite rolls up to the guy with the busted knee who’s just gone back to pain pills despite a history of addiction, this is not a good time to leave the room for a few minutes. Use some sense.
