Id love to see this show get a Gilmore Girl show treatment with maybe a short season revival. Granted I think GG last season was worse the B&S last but both deserved better closure. The last season of Brothers and Sisters to me was just lacking that political edge it always had in the background. Some of S5 was really great and some of it was really bad. I thought it started off good and ended well even if you could tell some storylines got rushed at the end just in case they didn't get another season.

The last season to me they needed to do more with Kitty's character for the episodes she was in. They didn't have her bring much in the season which was a disappointment especially considering Nora/Kitty were one of my favorite dynamics of the show (along with Kevin/Scotty).Plus the never did anything with those tapes Robert had recorded about using military contracts to by voted or whatever it was. I think I kept waiting and waiting for Kitty to get this storyline and I thought when she disappeared to DC that was gonna be why. They could easily use that as a major stroyline for kitty if they did a shirt revival and kitty could easily involve Kevin in it for several reasons. Thus giving them both meat for a short revival.

Maybe we could also get a Nora/Brody wedding. I'd love that Nora was always my favorite character and then we could finally see her getting the happy marriage she always deserved.

Oh and I'd love for K/S and Michelle to have some sort of closure. Since that got rushed we never got to really understand what Michelle was thinking and why she did what she did. Plus Kevin deserved to put his two scents in with he face to face.

I'd also love to see Tommy and Sara actually running something together. I always wanted them to get back into business together.

I too would love it if the show would get a "Gilmore Girl treatment", but then hopefully with better story-lines than the writers originally intended for season 6

I'd like:

- No more cheating
- No more De-Walkering, Re-Walkering and other Walkerings. I'm seriously done with all the paternity issues, and NO, I don't want maternity issues either.
- More Kevin/Scotty
- More Saul/Jonathan
- More Justin/Tyler
- More Tommy
- Something useful for Kitty, drop the pregnancy (false alert or something). Back to the radio or tv, or indeed a return to those tapes that Robert made. Make Robert's death not an accident, but a political assassination.
- Send Sarah/Luc early on for a honeymoon/wine-fest to Australia and don't let her come back until the end.

Yes, someone else that loves Tommy. I always liked his character. Ive seen a lot of people hate on him. Tommy to me was one the most interesting characters. I always wanted him and Julia to get back together later in life as well. In my mind neither of them really ever got over her blaming him for William (their son) dying. Granted it led to them both cheating and trying counseling but it seemed like that everything Tommy did was overcompensation for what he considered failures when it came to him being unable to father a child and then later being unable to be the one to give Elizabeth what she so desperately needed. I always loved that scene with Kitty/Tommy where they get into depth about that. Yes, later he made the mistake trying to cut Holly out of Oajia but even that deep down was rooted in Tommy still trying to prove himself. Prove he could do something for the family. I always felt like in his mind he thought this was the one thing he could actually control and accomplish.

I alway actually loved Sarah as but I didnt really like her in S5 either. Sarah alway had an amazing dynamic with Kevin and Scotty and i felt that went away. Those 3 in season three were gold on my screen. Maybe we could blame Luc for me not liking Sarah in S5 but I didnt mind Luc in the beginning of S4. He was kind of fun and entertaining. However, i feel like after the year time Jump that we sort of skipped over all the other stuff that could have built Sarah/Luc and made them more likable together. Because oddly i didnt mind scenes with Luc and the kids or Luc/Nora or any other of the cast but Luc/Sarah were yawn. Im not sure how they could make them interesting to me if they ever did bring the show back.

Kitty and Sarah both got shafted in the S5 story wise. I guess Sarah picked up a bit with the paternity storyline but even that was like really again. lol.

I was so glad that brought Tyler back for Justin. Im sad it didnt get the chance to be explored. It was rushed even more that the Daniel storyline with M/K/S just to make sure it got a semblance of closure.

Yes, I think that's the same problem I have with him. I didn't think that Sarah/Luc was all that convincing and the more often they emphasized it by being all over each other, the more it just annoyed me.

At first I didn't really like Tommy, because my first focus was on Kevin(/Scotty), but when rewatching the show, especially season 1, I feel like there could have been done so much more with his character. We never really got to know him, what motivated him, what his thoughts were, because he was hugely ignored and when the focus was on him, it was like a bomb went off, but you never really knew what what led to the build-up of all those emotions.
