Ron Rifkin: TV Guide News

Is He? Or Isn’t He? | Brothers and Sisters | 10/8/2007
Episode Recap: "An American Family"Welcome home, Justin! Yes, while the show was still great last week, having you back this week makes us realize how much we missed you. And what a return! With a busted knee and some scrapes, Justin is due for a full recovery, but it's going to be a long haul for him since — as a recovering addict — he has refused to take any pain meds. Justin's physical pain may rival that of his journey of re-entry into a non-combat zone existence. On a good day the Walkers can be overwhelming — imagine that on top of coming home from war and this time, as Justin reminds us, he's not stoned. It's a good thing we have the perfect senator around to provide the support that Justin may not be able to find in his immediate family. The relationship between these two men has become one of my favorites on the show. It makes sense that they have bonded, given the senator's own military history. Without that closeness, though, I'm sure I would have smirked... read more
The War At Home | Brothers and Sisters | 10/1/2007
Episode Recap: "Home Front"As Brothers and Sisters jumps into its second season, it's nice to see that the neurotic and argumentative Walkers are still just that. The little quirks that made us love them last year are all back in full force. They talk over one another, pick at each other, hold mini-grudges against each other, get drunk together and they worry about each other. Tonight it was the worrying that was at the crux of the show. Justin, still on active duty in Iraq, has not been in touch for 21 days. Is he okay? Is he injured . . . or worse? Starting the show off with Nora recording a video message to her son was an effective way of catching us up with the family and keeping Justin's off-screen character as much a part of the show as the rest of the family. One of my favorite moments was just after Nora signed off and her game face immediately reverted back to the mask of concern that we know she's been wearing since that tearful airport good-bye in last season's finale.... read more
Walker On By: Brothers & Sisters Season 2 Preview | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 9/18/2007
The Brothers & Sisters ensemble (sans the actors who play Nora, Robert, Kitty and Sarah) recently walked a red carpet outside the San Antonio Winery (where the show has filmed on occasion) in downtown Los Angeles to celebrate the release of the prime-time serial drama's Season 1 DVD release. TVGuide.com was on the scene to get the scoop on that as well as Season 2, which debuts on Sunday, Sept. 30, at 10 pm/ET, on ABC. Arguably, the biggest shock twist at the end of the show's freshman year ... read more
May 20, 2007: Goodbye | Brothers & Sisters | 5/21/2007
After it was resolved that Justin's deployment to Iraq would be delayed to allow him to work on his recovery, much of his story line has centered on his struggle to shake his addiction. But Justin's fears about going back to war were always there in the background. And tonight those fears became a reality in the worst way, as Justin found out at the last minute that his departure date was earlier than planned. At first I liked the way Justin handled his goodbyes individually — until, like Nora, I realized that he was saying goodbye for real, in case he wouldn’t be coming back. Even though I can see, rationally, how it doesn’t matter whether or not the word “goodbye” is actually said, I can understand how Nora felt that avoiding a formal goodbye would bring Justin back to her, as if not saying goodbye would make it impossible for him to die. Justin’s early departure coincided, unfortunately, with Kitty’s engagement party. He’d already said his... read more
Starbuck's Tailspin: More Shocks to Come | Roush Dispatch | 3/5/2007
Although the February sweeps officially have been over for several days, Sunday night sure felt like a sweeps extravaganza, with game-changing episodes of two major series. Both pivotal hours, of Sci Fi’s Battlestar Galactica and ABC’s Brothers & Sisters, dealt with the fate of daughters whose respective departure and arrival is setting off shock waves for their unconventional families (the Galactica crew and the Walker clan).The episode that undoubtedly will cause the largest stir in TV fandom was Galactica’s riveting and ultimately devastating journey into the metaphysical, as Starbuck (a brooding, tormented Katee Sackhoff) finally faced and embraced her destiny. Which meant, in a series of visions and hallucinations guided by the specter of the not-quite-Leobon as if he were the Ghost of Psychodramas Past, that Kara had to confront the soul-crushing memories of her abusive mother, who instilled in the self-destructive Starbuck a belief that suffering was good... read more
