Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is one of the four episodes over the course of the series in which Lauren Bowles played Monica Kimball. The title of this episode, "Kissing Your Sister," is in part a nod to the fact that in their real lives, Lauren Bowles is the younger half-sister of Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Selina Meyer).
- GoofsAmy tells Selina that Tom James, as an elevated Vice President, would be able to serve as President for twelve years. This is incorrect, as the constitution states that an elevated Vice President can only run for a third term if they served less than half - two years - of the term they were elevated to, capping the possible time as President at ten years. As Tom James would be elevated at the very beginning of the term, he would be limited to eight years.

Featured review
Funny, yes, but would've been better as an extra footage reel, not a plot-advancing episode
My overall rating of "Veep"'s Season 5: 6/10.
So at this point I do increasingly wonder whether my rating scale is really working out for "Veep": there have been some episodes where I hadn't laughed at all and scored them highly, and now here's an episode that made me laugh quite a few times and that I'm scoring the minimum. However, I'm still standing by it so far.
The problem with that episode is that its plot is way too whimsical and nonsensical to take seriously. Now, "Veep" is a comedy, of course, but it's been trying to stake out an evolving, twisty plot, and the thing is just too twisty for its own good, to the extent that I would've loved this episode if it was scrapped from the "main continuity" and was just a collection of random gags and "what-ifs" as a DVD bonus or something - because it essentially is that. Additionally, I'm not sure why "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"-style "look at how awfully this video is edited" running gag is so appealing to Americans - to me it's the opposite of humorous.
