BROTHERS & SISTERS 102

- I think it's fun that in those family shows, the dads always have to die early on.

- My favorite line from the first episode, "Dad, what have you done?"

- "I want you between me and the feeling I get when I miss you when everything here tells me I should be fine" (song)

- Let's see if I can recall the characters' names. Sarah, mom of two kids, married to Joe. Kevin, the gay lawyer. Justin, the addict. Tommy who has a wife. Kitty, the right-wing activist. I think that*s it. Then, there's Nora and Dad, who is dead.

- that Holly Haper was Dad's mistress. I'm totally sure.

- Kitty looks a bit like the blondes in Lost.

- Oh, that's Kevin?! I thought it was Tommy.

- I don't like Kitty that much. Her political views bother me.

- marital problems because Sarah has a job and has to take care of the kids.

- who is Josh?

- in ER, Sally Field whom I always call Sally Fields looks older. Maybe I'm thinking of Kerry, the doctor with the crutch though. It would explain why Sally Field looked so different in my head.

- "Who knew there were so many biographies on Ronald Reagan?"

- Why do they keep mentioning Jonathan? The realtionship won't last anyway.

- Is Kevin a republican or a democrat* I wonder.

- Even Nora calls Dad Dad. I don't think Dad has a real name. I think his name is just Dad like in the episode of Six Feet Under where the dead character's name is Daddy and he has a weird commune with many kids and a couple of wives who also call him Daddy. I like that idea. Not that I would start calling Dad by another name if they should reveal it. I think he name is Dad.

- so Justin is now spying on people? Maybe he should have stayed on drugs.

- Come up with an awesome excuse! This is original (I mean it!) she just says it. Or even better, she doesn't, Justin just knows.

- Oh great, business talk I don't understand! I guess the short version is Dad did something illegal.

- Sarah has a big conscience. So much unlike Brenda.

- Justin is weird.

- tension as Sarah becomes the president of the company. I guess Tommy wanted it because he probably worked with Dad all his adult life and Sarah was working at some big corporation and only joined the family business recently. That has been hinted at in this and the last episode.

- Oh, a mystery.

- Justin doesn't get the money, only an allowance.

- Why do they not put Justin in rehab? He really needs it.

- A gay receptionist. WTF?! Why does he insist on Kevin admiting that he is gay? This is a weird, weird scene.

- Fire alarm. Is Justin smoking pot* Why has the alarm gone off!

- Justin is such a cliche irresponsible youngest dress.

- Go, Nora! Piss Kitty off.

- I can totally see why Nora blames Kitty and Dad. Maybe because I like her political views a lot better then Kitty's.

- Embezzlement. I haven't figured out what that is even though I've heard it many times. It's a fun word though and I know it's illegal and has to do woth business. I think it means that you keep some money for yourself not putting taxes on it or something. I could just use a dictionary, but where's the fun in that?

- Why doesn't Kevin work with the family?

- I like Kevin's blue eyes.

- Is that girl still Fawn or a new one? Okay, it's Fawn. Are they dating?

- "I swear, Mrs. Justin, I don't know where he is."

- Is Nora really trying to break up Fawn and Justin's relationship? She is hot though.

- Tension. Tension. Tension.

- How does Joe feel about Sarah being president of the company?

- Noel, the guy 'm sure Sarah cares about. He has a few nice lines and the scene in the first episode after Sarah had talked to him and sat in the car crying. It was an incredily beautiful scene.

- Kitty wants to be loved by Nora. She wants to have a relationship just like their parents did.

- Justin is in fucking jail?!

- Joel understands Sarah. I like them as a couple. Joe seems weird.

- Joel: "How can you feel so guily when nothing happened between us?"
Sarah: "Because being in sync with someone that is not your husband is almost as painful as not being in sync with your husband."

- Joel is married.

- Sarah isn*t a mom. I like how she is a mom but not a perfect mom. It's realistic.

- Okay, Nora is overreacting. Blaming Kevin for having acted like a lawyer isn't reasonable.

- Sarah is a great character. I thought I liked her because Rachel Griffiths was the actress but now I*m seeing that she is great as Sarah just like she was as Brenda.

- Hello, ptsd.

- Why is Joe so nice all of a sudden? He cares about her. I thought he was just bored about the relationship, but he cares. I like the family life and how he knows that she isn*t the perfect mom.

- Do the kids have names?

- Fun little scene after the whole tension. I like Kevin and Nora's reaction to porn.

- Why does one of the kids always think that they are hated by their dads once they are dead. And one of their older siblings has to tell them some very touching story that proves the opposite.

- The music is great.

- Justin likes Death Cab For Cutie. And Dad did, too.

- So Tommy didn*t go to college. He joined the family business after graduating high school. Sarah on the other hand started somewhere else and only came to the business later. I get why Dad chose her as the corporation's president.

- Hey, J. likes that song! It's one of the songs I actually like that she listens to.
