“Weeds” — The Two Mrs. Scottsons
For the love of god, get us off of this trainwreck of show.
Man, those Weeds producers love kicking up the indie-rock soundtrack to pretend the story they’re telling is of any consequence whatsoever. Sure it might have worked a season or so back, but that was before all of the characters were reduced to pawns in a series of non-sequitors and cheap thrills. Even the episodes dramatic core (Celia’s physical and emotional reveal of herself to us to and to Sullivan) was ultimately nothing more than shock as Sullivan had already presented himself as such a miserable human being there was no genuine resonance. Wasn’t this the guy who was trying to nail Nancy about ten minutes prior?
As for the Andy storyline… OK? But… why? What’s the point? What does any of this have to do with anything? The only reason to keep watching is for the two kids, Shane and Isabelle, and the occasional funny line by Kevin Nealon. At this point those characters are in their own series that just happens to be airing in the middle of Weeds. Am I the only person who feels this way? Talk about a fall from grace.

Yeah this show is definitely losing it for me. This was one of those shows that i would watch as soon as it was on demand . . . now i didnt catch up on the last two episodes til today. I do like the current kids storylines. And i thought that whole last scene in the last episode was pretty hot. But besides that its like . . . eh, really? Its a little said because the show really does have a great cast. But they need a more focused, less ridiculous story line. And they need to throw Conrad and Nancy in scenes together more often.

That scene between Nancy and Sullivan at the end of the episode two weeks ago really bothered me. It didn’t make any sense for the character and it felt like little more than a reason for Parker to run around in her underwear again.
