One of my favorite scenes in the movie “Patton” is when Patton faces Rommel in battle, using many of the “Desert Fox”‘s tactics against him successfully. Patton bellows, “Rommel, you magnificent son of a bitch, I READ YOUR BOOK!”

Hey Greg Berlanti, did you read mine? One of my favorite TV shows, ABC’s “Brothers and Sisters” has had this sexual tension thing going on between two of the youngest characters, a half-brother and sister who only recently discovered each other’s existence. Now, Berlanti ends the season with a “soft” cliffhanger where a man appears to be returning into the sister’s mother’s life. The REAL father of the girl? If so, then … is this couple really NOT related? Hmmm… interesting.

Great casting coup that he used the mother’s (actress Patricia Wettig) real life husband, Ken Olin.

I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
