Weeds: Nancy Went To Mexico And Back
Okay I know, it’s been awhile since I posted on “Weeds.” It’s one of those shows I enjoy watching, I just find difficult writing about. I also seem to have a love/hate relationship with the show. Either I think an episode is really on the money, or misses the mark all together. Here are my thoughts on a bunch of the story lines that have gone on since I last wrote about the show.
Doug and Andy have decided to become coyotes. We aren’t talking about the dancing on the bar half naked ones, we are talking about people who help smuggle Mexicans across the border. Doug is in on this because he’s fallen in love with a Mexican girl and is trying to find her. For me this story is a miss. I am just not that into it. I think my main problem is the whole Doug aspect of it. I hate to say it, but so many other characters from last season were dropped or written out, Doug should have been one too. I am just not seeing the point of him being there still, and think he’s only still there because he’s Kevin Nealon. Even Nancy said to him in the latest episode “Didn’t I tell you to move out?”
Isabelle came to live with her mom Celia when her dad moved away and got a new job. Thank you “Weeds!” Isabelle is one of my faves on the show, I actually like her more than Nancy’s kids. Now I just want them to use her a bit more.
Celia has become a full fledged junkie, giving away merchandise at the store in order to get cash to by blow and heroine. Too funny that “Mrs Say No” is now a junkie. She was always the goody goody, the moral one of the show. Intervention time!
Nancy has started up a relationship with Esteban, who is not only the drug lord behind her whole operation right now, but the mayor of some city in Mexico. These two are actually smoking hot together, but I’m worried where things will go. Esteban’s own men are telling him that Nancy is a problem and he’s getting reckless. I think the sweetness of this (as sweet as this situation can be) will soon come to an end when Esteban realizes he has to do away with Nancy . . . permanently. I think that might be how the season ends, with a hit going out on Nancy.
Sylas is having sex with his neighbor, the hot mom Andy liked. Not only that, they are running a grow house in the back of her cheese shop. The one thing I liked about this story was Nancy confronting them, basically telling them they had no idea what they were doing or how to do it and of course telling the woman that her son would be 18 one day very soon! Go Nancy! This is another storyline that’s pretty much a miss for me.
Shane’s story has taken a hilarious, yet disturbing turn. Not wanting to be the bullied nobody at school, he smashed the most popular kid in the face with a lunch tray. Rather than make him popular, he’s now feared! The entire school thinks he’s nuts, and the goth girls love him. This is going to be hilarious, now just get Isabelle in as the side-kick. On the disturbing side of things, Nancy and Andy caught Shane with naked photos of his mother that he was, well, spending a lot of alone time with. Grooooossssssss! Nancy’s talk to him (and Sylas) was hilarious, and how she ended them with how they would never ever speak of this situation again.
