My Top 10 Season Finale Moments! Part 1

I told you guys I would get into season finales eventually! So here they are, the twists, turns and joys of this TV season's finales, my favorite moments from them.

10. Brothers And Sisters: Mexico

One of the first season finales of the year, and also one of the best. The Walker clan (and Rebecca) trekked down to Mexico to find Tommy. Really this only gets a spot because of the very ending, Tommy standing by a fountain while James Taylor's "Mexico" played in the background. I love that song, so there you go.

9. Heroes: An Invisible Thread

The Heroes finale, was a bit clunky, but definitely worth getting through the heft. If only for again, that final moment, when Sylar/Nathan notices that the clock in his office was running slow and fixed it. It gave me chills. My only worry is that with his reacent box office explosion Zachary Quinto will realize that he's so much better than this show and jump ship, since they don't really need him anymore, what with the birth of Sylar/Nathan and all.

8. The Office: Company Picnic

Pam is pregnant! I know! Really there's nothing else to say. I was so excited I could have peed myself.

7. One Tree Hill: Remember me as a time of day

The epitome of all OTH moments came in this episode, when Nathan came home and told Haley that he was now in the NBA. It was so beautiful and touching and happy, in an episode full of beautiful, touching, happy moments. Of course something is going to go horribly wrong in the fall, but we can hope for the best.

6. My Boys: Spring Training

It just aired two nights ago, but this episode was full of great moments, but I have to say that my favorite came when Brendan gave PJ a long a meaningful look when she told him he needed to start finding non crazy girls to date. Maybe I'm reaching, I don't know.

Numbers 5 to 1 coming later in the day!

I'm sailing right behind

Brothers and Sisters is a remarkable show. I've always thought so. Anyone from a mildly close family would relate to the Walker clan. From the first episode I saw my family in it (there are no secrets among the McLaughlins) and granted the story lines have spun out into Soap-land (Rebecca isn't really their sister, William had another mistress, and Nora and Holly can't just let it go, Justin relapses again etc.) the relationships between the characters and interactions are so what a real family is like, and I personally love anything that is in the mainstream media and doesn't demonize the Republican party...hell, Kitty and Robert might be the objectively best people in the Walker family, but I digress. Last night's two hour long "Troubled Waters" was not just an episode of the show, it was the quintessential example of what makes the Walkers great.

The episode begins with a trademark Walker dinner, where Nora announced that she had invited Ryan Lafferty, their real illegitimate sibling, you know, because Rebecca isn't and now she and Justin are a couple. Everyone freaks and starts talking all at once, just like a real family. Then Robert announces that he's running for governor and everyone is thrilled.

The next day everyone is paired off in various ways, Kitty, Saul and Nora and in her kitchen discussing the Ryan situation, Justin is fixing Sarah's sink. Tommy is at work, Kevin and Robert are dealing with the governor business and then the phone rings and it turns out the birth mother of Kitty and Robert's kid is in labor.

Obviously the Walkers go into helpful mode and everyone is scrambling to get things together for the new member of the family.

Robert officially announces his candidacy rather than rush to the hospital and Kitty announces that she's done. She then witnesses the birth of her son while Robert is having a heart attack.

In part 2, Kitty takes care of both her newborn son and her husband who is having open heart surgery, letting go of her anger, but after he wakes up, he assures Kevin that he's still running for governor and once again doesn't tell Kitty.

Oh right and Tommy is now being investigated for his crimes against Holly over at Ojai and Ryan showed up at the house while no one but Justin and Rebecca were home. We got a great set up for the rest of the season.

But it was an incredibly powerful two hours of television. And now that Balthazar Getty (Tommy) is leaving the show, I assume to go to prison, it makes sense that they're bringing Ryan in...but we'll see.
