Brothers & Sisters - Ron Rifkin/Saul Appreciation #1

**Fortyseven** · 05-31-2007, 05:58 PM

Anyone else love Ron?

He does have a unique personality, doesn't he?

I'm so glad to have him on another great show after Alias!

I feel like Saul is very background on the show. I wasn't a big fan of Saul having a relationship with William's mistress. Then again, now we kind of know his place/truth. So, I wonder what will be in the cards for him next season.

**Fortyseven** · 05-31-2007, 06:06 PM

I do think they should give him more to do... But Ron's just too awesome and such a scene stealer. I hope he'll get more screen time in s2, especially after the reveal in the finale.

I have to keep reminding myself that he's Nora's brother.

I know that sounds weird, but I do!

**Fortyseven** · 05-31-2007, 06:10 PM

Yes, it took me a while to remember that too...

Which is really weird, considering the title of the show.

I love how they managed to work him into the show and create a connection, although he's not a Walker.

I just love Saul. I am a sucker for cute old Jewish men, but he's such a good brother to Nora. He almost seems like the glue that holds the family together when they all start to crumble. He keeps everyone in line.

He's almost like the voice of reason, everyone else is too crazy.

Yep. He keeps them all in line. When the kids and Nora are fighting or the kids are fighting amongst themselves, it's always Saul who brokers the peace and keeps everyone focused on what is most important.

I'm very intrigued by the revelation we got at the end of the season ...

**Fortyseven** · 05-31-2007, 06:28 PM

Yeah, I wonder if Holly knew, they've always been so close...

I wondered that too. The first thing I thought after that scene was "But ... Holly...Hm.." Maybe it was a silent thing and she knew, but they never talked about it.

**Fortyseven** · 05-31-2007, 06:38 PM

I guess that's a possibility.

I don't know, I've always assumed they would eventually hook up, so the revelation threw me off a bit.

It's definitely an interesting story to explore though!

It threw me off too! Not a revelation that I was expecting at that moment.

I'm actually glad that Ron has stepped onto another show that I actually dont hate him in

I didn't like his character in Alias all that much, so it's good that he's the one keeping the peace etc.

I was kinda spoiled though.

I found out a few days before it aired, afterelton.com posted an article about that.

For the first time in a long time I have watched B&S spoiler-free. I'm usually spoiled on all the shows that I watched. So, Saul was quite a surprise for me. I don't know if I'll make it spoiler-free next seasons of B&S. Too much can happen on Season 2!
