So when we last left the Walker Clan in May, everyone but Justin and Rebecca had just been involved in a multi-vehicle crash on the way back from Narrow Lake. There were lots of bumps and cuts and bruises, but everyone was shown to be pretty much okay, except for Holly and Robert. It would have appeared to even the most casual viewer that Robert had died at the end of the season and Holly's fate was left undetermined.
Now, I have been anxiously awaiting the return of Brothers & Sisters, as I am a rabid fan. Watching the Season Premiere last night, I was inspired to write a letter to the Head of ABC TV. It would go a little something like this:
Dear ABC
Can you please explain to me who was on my TV last night between 9pm and 10pm? Where were my beloved Walkers?Did someone come in and switch scripts and you didn't notice until it aired? Not one of the characters on that show would have reacted in the way you portrayed them. Rebecca would not have left Justin for going off to War, Luc would never have lowered himself to pose half nude for an underwear ad, Kevin would never say he had given up on having kids, nor hesitate to help that client of his he found sleeping on the street. And Kitty, my Kitty, who triumphed over Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma? She would never sit by and wait for Robert to "wake up" having been told there was no hope. She would let him go with dignity and grace, not sit by his bedside chatting with him while cutting his fingernails. And don't get me started on Nora. She would never sit idly by wringing her hands while her children acted like they had been, at the very least she would have been as up in arms about Sarah's bangs as I was! Don't try to hide your inordinately large forehead, Sarah! Embrace IT!!!
I expect to see my Walkers returned to their rightful place next Sunday night, ABC, got it?

The first 47 minutes of the show was truly unwatchable as my beloved Walkers stumbled around unrecognizable to me. I would have rather had Robert die off camera right after the accident if they were only going to treat us to a dismembered hand that we know did not belong to Rob Lowe. Somebody get Kevin a razor. Scotty, you rock as the only one still true to who we know you to be.
Sorry for the rant, but the Stepford Walkers was just too much to bare.
