Brothers And Sisters - Brief Encounter
Written by Molly Newman
Directed by Jonathan Kaplan
I didn't mind this episode, though it was kind of stupid in parts.
Kitty jumping to the conclusion that Nora was dating a woman literally came out of nowhere. Much as I love the Walkers, I do hate that they jump to conclusions instead of getting their facts straight first of all.
Though parts of that were amusing, particularly with Scotty downloading granny porn and Nora's response to being a florist.
Which is another thing, why keep it a secret? What's the shame in working in a florist for crying out loud? Talk about inverted snobbery as well.
However it does seem awfully contrived for Nora to have bagged a radio gig because she yelled at her kids in public. Zeke had better watch himself.
Paige and her teenage ways are not interesting to watch. She's an okay child but a little annoying, even though I did like some of her final scenes with Sarah.
Luc's the cool parent. Okay then, I don't care. I have to admit that Luc does have his plus points but the party for him was a little meh for a Walker social gathering.
Given that Kitty's just lost Robert, I'm not sure if Nora should be pushing her so hard to get back on her feet just yet but even then, I did like Kitty making plans for her and Evan, post Robert.
Including Justin into the Holly plot made sense. It's also making it a little more interesting too.
No Saul? Boo!
Liked the stuff with Kevin and Matteo but Kevin did behave like an ass though with the poor kid. I kinda wished that him and Scotty had taken him on now, 7/10.
