WEEDS

[dope]

as far fetched as it was in the beginning this show, much like californication, have become completely ludicrous. it's almost like they just try to have the most fucked situations possible for these characters....which unless you can suspend your disbelief for 30 minutes you'll never enjoy these shows

i only continue to watch weeds cause it wasn't until like season 3 or 4 that it became outta hand. californication it happened episode 1 of season 2.

lol @ Maurice Levy from the Wire selling strollers on this show.

episode 3 was really good got me back into the series 1 & 2 were just bad

cant wait till 4

Finally the show has picked up. Good to see Doug in the episode, even if it was for 10 seconds. Linda Hamilton has got to go, though. Give her a different connect, please.

Yep, it took two and a half episodes but the plot finally went somewhere and there's actually weed on the show again (well, hash at least), go figure!

 

[nflman2033]

yeah was wondering when we were going to see Doug since Kevin Nealon's name is still in the cred's

I'm liking this season so far.

 

Hopefully the end of this past episode means we're finally done with the mexican plot.

This season is already 10x better than the past two seasons.

 

I lol'd at Silas' inside reference to fellow Showtime series Dexter when he said Shane could be "a good serial killer, like the ones that only kill other serial killers"

It's not. Did you watch the preview for next week's episode?

really, i find it to still be completely useless just like every episode since leaving Agrestic. the fire should have been the series finale

Nope I didn't, oh well, I just thought that seemed like some good closure

 

[Diivox]

probably a bad sign for the show that the thread isnt even on the front page of a forum that is slowing down quite a bit. i have no idea where the plot is heading anymore. Shane is entertaining as hell and I think it's an even worse sign that i was sad to see the Mexicans go, because they were actually pretty entertaining this season. mary louise parker getting naked again was probably the only good thing about the last 2 episodes. i watch Weeds now because... i watch weeds. ive got 5 and a half seasons invested in it. i have to see where it goes. but it seems like they've lost all semblance of a coherent story arc

lol, yeah the show jumped the shark a longtime ago.

setting up for another cliffhanger... episode 10 in the bank and i feel like the whole season could have been done in one episode. ending had me hooked a bit, so did the end of e4, but beyond that... ive seen weeds pull this shit before, and i didnt mind it because i was watching the whole show at once. now im just annoyed knowing that theres no way they are gonna wrap up the storyline. i almost wish showtime would cancel it now so that the writers will make a definitive ending. but it just doesnt feel like its going that way

I don't know, I think this season has been pretty good. Not as funny as S1 and S2, but close now that Doug is back in the fold regularly. Still miss Conrad though.

Plot wise, it's still meandering too much for me but the bizarre circumstances and side characters that keep popping up are keeping this afloat for me, for now.

The reveal at the end about was a step in the right direction. Interested to see what happens with that guy.

 

[Palooza]

I knew that guy was a shadeball.

This season has felt extremely stretched out with close to nothing really happening. I am still enjoying it, though.

I think the point is just to have them in a different absurd setting or situation each episode. I didn't like it at first but I've kind of liked laughing at one or two random guest spots each week.

The little meth head at the trailer park, for instance, made me laugh my fucking ass off.

It's hit or miss with this format, but when it hits, the bizarre sense of humor that Kenji Johan (or is it Jenji Kohan?) has is at its best. One minor quibble, is I don't think MLP has done as good of an acting job this season. She's usually jaw-dropping but she seems to be mailing it in right now. Possibly because other characters are being asked to carry more of the water. Shane has really emerged as a solid character.

 

[kyhadley]

I like where this is headed now. Feels like the plot is finally moving forward instead of sideways.

 

[Diivox]

i liked the new episode, it seems like they are drawing to the conclusion. seems like even the writers know its out of gas.

 

i could see the show wrapping up with a montage of everything that has happened to her, with this guy telling their story. or hes really good at undercover, and he puts cuffs on her because hes actually FBI. either way. seems like they know this has to end.

hopefully without another fucking cliffhanger.
