Thank you, slow-mo Sally
I just finished watching tonight’s two-hour Brothers & Sisters “movie” and I think I’m in love with this show again. It’s more over-the-top and melodramatic than it’s ever been, and yet still I want more. (Just look at Holly on the left. How can you deny the power of those crazy eyes?)
And even though the commercial lied and no one TECHNICALLY died (oh, oops, spoiler alert — sorry) it was still great watching the episode for all of the little things we learned:
- Julia totally snuck some food in before everyone was seated for dinner. (You can blame it on faulty editing, but I’ve always said she was selfish).
- I’ve decided that doing impressions of Holly’s voice is instant fun. She talks like royalty — the love-child of Sean Connery and a flamingo.
- Classy shows reference The Drudge Report. Trashy shows reference Perez Hilton.
- Sally Field looks fantastic in slow motion. But I think we already knew that.
Sometimes this show is predictable — weren’t we all expecting Ryan? — but that’s what I love about it. It’s a smart show, but it also lets us pat ourselves on the back every once in a while for putting the pieces together on our own. Next week looks even better: Tommy gets arrested for his shady dealings and Sally gets physical with his face — of course during a family dinner.

I still wouldn’t rule out that no one died - we still haven’t heard from Trish. Oh, and if Sally Field can come home to a house full of clowns, squirt guns, ponies and Robin Williams, she can handle just about anything.
