Last night’s finale to season two of the Showtime pot-series Weeds might have had one of the best cliffhangers in recent memory (apologies if I said this about a show four months ago). In fact, things would have only been more interesting had a character actually been dangling from a cliff. Basically, every character in the show was put in a seemingly unescapable position except for Peter, the DEA-agent/boyfriend/husband to Mary-Louis Parker’s Nancy who was bumped off in what can only be classified as a ‘casual television murder.’

The only drawback to last night’s finale was the unfortunate realization that the show will be back next year and they’ll have to find way to resolve all of this (which will be mostly impossible without bending their already heavily bent reality beyond recognition). I was curious, before last night, if the show would even be back for a third season. Showtime likes to dump its hits before they get too expensive (read: Huff, Dead Like Me), but the post-episode teaser said a new season is indeed on the horizon. Call me crazy, but it would actually be kind of cool just END a show on a note like that– especially when there is no way you can write yourself out of it and live up to expectations.
