I watched this series for the first time in 2023. Unlike the previous reviewer, I think it was time to say goodbye to the Walkers. Ending it on a wedding with the family gathered happily together felt like an appropriate way to go out. I could see that they had set up storylines in anticipation of a possible sixth season. For me, some of the 5th season veered into heavy As the Stomach Turns soap opera story lines especially discovering that Kevin and Scotty's surrogate lied, actually had the baby, and was raising it on her own. Also, finding out that Sarah was Brody's daughter. This to me, this puts the whole plot of William cheating on Nora for 20 years in a different perspective. Overall, I enjoyed the show, the ensemble cast, and the familiar faces who guest starred.

Staying in touch with the Walkers
jarrodmcdonald-14 October 2015
Warning: Spoilers
There was hope among fans when this episode aired that ABC would not cancel 'Brothers and Sisters,' and that it might return for a sixth season. After all, who was ready to say goodbye to the Walker clan? I know I sure wasn't! I would like to think there could be some special TV movies in order to resolve some of the dangling story lines in this episode. For instance, we needed to see a Nora-Brody marriage; we needed to see Kitty give birth; and we should have seen Luc's father. I also would like to have watched Justin as a father (I remember hoping that his one-night stand with Rebecca after their divorce produced a secret child). What I would really miss if we never see the Walker brood again are all the funny and bittersweet moments. And I will always think highly of the show's trademark cell phone scenes, where everyone is having a tangled conversation with each other and staying in touch like a family should.
