Sunday Special on a Stick: Reviews of Season Finales, Part 1 (Part 2 will be this Sunday): Brothers and Sisters

Warning: Contains spoilers, and kind of crappy review because I saw like two weeks ago

Brothers and Sisters
For those of you unfamiliar with the show (probably most of you, not all that popular among teens) the premise of the show revolves around the Walker family. They're all grown up so none of that 7th Heaven crap. Definitely not Emmy material but still decent and enough to soften the blows of the shocking happenings of the Desperate Houeswives episode right before it.

So for a quick prologue before I dive into the finale (skip this if you've been keeping up with the show); the main character Kitty (Calista Flockhart, dating Harrison Ford, shocking I know) is married to this politician dude (Rob Lowe) who lost the nomination for the Republican presidentail candidate. She's been wanting to have a kid having difficult time; she's not sterile but I don't know, not very clear about that. Well she's been taking hormone supplements, she uses and ovulation stick, etc. Kevin, the gay brother, is dating this Scotty guy who is from a much different social circle than him and is having medical troubles because he doesn't have health insurance (see what you do, you bitch ass Republicans against universal health care!) Sarah is the oldest sibling and former president of her deceased father's fruit or something company, Ojai. Ojai recently went under because of a bad deal that Sal, the maternal uncle, made so a merger is under way between Ojai and the father's other company, Walker Landing. Justin, the youngest sibling, is struggling with the romantic feelings he harbors for Rebecca, his father's illegit daughter (not incest persay because they met so late in life).

So diving in now! Like I said, not Emmy material so no exciting, wtf cliffhanger moments. But still some omg, I waited a whole season for that to happen moments. Kevin proposed to Scotty, for the second time! First time was influenced by the insurance thing (damn you Republicans!) and the second time, he told Scotty that he was his soulmate. I was like awww. Very cute. So they had a little commitment ceremony at Kevin's mom's house (would've been a wedding had this episode taken place just a few weeks later). Scotty's parents didn't make it out to the ceremony though. This was the confusing part for me. At first I thought it was because the parents didn't agree with their son's lifestyle but then later they were like we love our son, we've accepted his "choice" but we won't come to this sham of a wedding. So are you guys anti-gay or anti-the fact that gays can't marry?

You guys can breathe now, because Rebecca is not a Walker, she was fathered by some random director dude. So her and Justin end up making out at the end, still pretty gross though. Kitty and Robert have been trying the old fashioned way but to no avail. Then Kitty has a revelation at the commitment ceremony, things aren't always the way you imagine it, but it doesn't mean it isn't just as good. She always had this idea of her being pregnant and raising her biological child. But she realizes she'd be just as happy adopting. Just hope she doesn't pull and Angelina and adopt a whole Asian country thinking she's saved the world.

And omg Sal! Bout damn time you came out of the closet. You were in there so long I'm surprised it didn't turn into Narnia. Actually, I think this happened the episode before the finale, but whatever. So overall, I give this season finale 2.5 stars, due to the lack of cliffhangers, the oddity of the fact that Kevin and Scotty's life kinda suck because of Republicans yet Kitty and the rest of the family are Republicans and the almost incest thing, just can't get over it. I did like the cute gay couple factor though and I am so glad we finally see somewhat of a happy ending for gay folks.
