17 September 2008(S04E13) The final shocking revelation of the season–which wasn’t so shocking, if you heard the rumors–made me want to write off the Weeds season finale as unimaginative. To offer up such a commonplace TV twist, and to do it in the last moments of the episode, was definitely not original. As season finales go, this [...]

Weeds: Head Cheese
26 August 2008(S04E11) The truth hurt almost everyone this week. The stress of having both a deflowered son and knowledge of the tunnel’s other uses took its toll on Nancy.

19 August 2008Greetings, Weeds wackers, and welcome to season 4. I will be your hostess on this likely turbulent flight from fictional Agrestic, in the L.A. suburbs, to Ren Mar, just outside San Diego, where the Botwin clan, sans hangers-on, will set up house (and shop) for another somewhat nonsensical venture. Why was I chosen to be [...]

Weeds: Little Boats
12 August 2008(S04E09) It appears that Nancy is growing up, and it only took four seasons for it to happen. She dealt with mature relationship issues and had a calm, romantic moment with Esteban. I was thrilled that she finally made good on her promise to be more available to her family, going MILF-a-MILF with Lisa and [...]
