Kudos to the writers of Brothers and Sisters for last nights outstanding episode. The two hour event took us back 20 plus years to see the Walker siblings in their teens. Although the drama was a bit contrived, it none the less packed a dramatic punch. The episode featured stand out performances by the entire cast, in particular Matthew Rhys and Sally Field.
The show has been horribly uneven this season (and I for one don't enjoy cancer story lines in my tv escapism) but last nights two hours brought the Walker family back together and in conflict. This is what the audience tunes in for. The writers spent far too much of the earlier part of the season on individual story lines. This show excels when the story lines intersect and intertwine.
