(S04E09) This season of Weeds has been quite disappointing overall, really, because much like last year after a start where you could see promise of a better land and hope for may new possibilities, a return of the funny twisted stories and characters you used to love back when it premiered, it soon fell flat into boredom, at best. This week, this week was very much a mixed bag.
On the one hand, it was a pure continuity of what we’ve had the previous weeks, the same crap that, really, makes you wonder why you’re still watching this show. On the other hand, it had a few good moments, and (I felt) a much welcome comeback of humor. It wasn’t much, but it felt pretty good. Didn’t restore my faith in the show or anything, not even close, but it felt like for a moment they took a break for this now usual boring mess to get back to the roots of the show.

(S04E08) Last week I didn’t had some nice words for this show, and I stand by it. Last season it was the same, at first during a few episodes I thought we had an interesting situation, a starting point from which something, something new/different from what’s been done previous seasons, something good could be done. And it was with regret that I saw the season fade away into depressing boredom to end up having me convinced it had been the worst season to date.
This season had its fresh start, a brand new start in another place with new people, everything was new and it was a chance to start out fresh and be exciting again. I had serious doubt about the whole thing after reading about it, but after the first few episodes I had hopes again… How silly of me, because since then it’s all been crushed again, and we’re back to an horrible sensation of waste, waste of good ideas, waste of possibly interesting situations, waste of funny characters, and as a result waste of my time.
Unfortunately, this week only confirmed those feelings.

(S04E07) I think this episode has a very misleading title, because it makes it sounds like things are possible, and in fact it even has that little sound that says it’s possible to do new things, better things, to improve what’s been done before, to change from mistakes of yesterday and prepare a better tomorrow. That’s what this little title seems to imply with those three little words, and that couldn’t be further from the truth, really.
It’s not really new, it’s been around for a few weeks now, this feeling that despite everything that has been said about this new season, despite the relocation of the Botwins and their friends, things weren’t getting any better. In fact, it was the same load of crap we’ve been getting for way too long last season already, and we had enough of.
I really wanted to see this season be an improvement over the past, and the show be great & funny again, but alas, we’re far, far, from from it.

(S04E06) Aww.. Weeds. This is the little show that was to be completely different this season, because they were re-inventing it, or, at least, starting fresh as everyone was moving away for the “little boxes” of Agrestic into a brand new place, with new people, new problems, and brand new weed too. That was the plan, but more and more I feel like this is just like last season all over again.
And I don’t only mean this Nancy didn’t evolve or learn anything, again, I don’t only mean she keeps doing the exact same stupid mistakes, again, now I also mean that just like last season, after a few episodes that were possibly good and showed potential for the show to grow into something more, it just falls back onto itself and pull the same crap once again, being boring and really not so good, again.

There’s been much talk and then some about those nominations, as the top10 finalists lists have been made public, or find a way to the public eyes. But now speculations are over as the official nominees were announced by Patrick Harris and Kristen Chenoweth - both nominated by the way.
What to say ? Not many surprises, even with things that went wrong and the misses here and there. Not much love for The Wire, I think more was expected, but it’s a general trend : cable networks are kicking in with style (AMC, FX, etc) and HBO is really lacking some great hits nowadays. Sure, The Wire is still around, and Entourage hasn’t been forgotten despite being away for so long, plus the “experimental” In Treatment was noticed, but it’s not like they had a The Sopranos or Sex And The City anyways…

(S04E05) This season was supposed to be brand new, the show was reinventing itself as Nancy and co were moving away from the little boxes into bigger troubles. And it took a while, and it wasn’t really all for the best, but slowly things are eventually starting to shape up it seems. Albert Brooks was brought in so give Nancy and her family a place to stay, I don’t really see what else he brought to the show, and we’ve seen her trying to find a new job.
But, if Nancy is always willing and asking to do the very risky thing, she wants to see the drugs and sneak it in and sell it, the fact and the matter is, she sucks at it. There’s no question there, and it was perfectly illustrated during her first test drive through the border. She couldn’t possibly have done worse, and just like for us, it didn’t take Guillermo very long to realize that fact - even though I’m sure Nancy still thinks she would do a great job.
