Weeds is still in the weeds with its story

It looks like Weeds is working its way back to its roots. I am not sure if that is a good thing. Last nights episode brought the return of our heroine to the low stakes world of pot dealing, again. This time around the city of Agrestic is footing the bill. Our favorite City Council Man (Kevin Nealon) has raided the town's coffers and provided a $50,000 investment fund for the purchase and distribution of marijuana. Silas and his new annoying God hippie girlfriend are the primary dealers within Nancy's ring which seems like an overreaching attempt to bring us back to the Zen of season one.

One might ask, what is up with the Mexicans not caring about Nancy dealing in Majestic which happens to be 3 times bigger then Agrestic and surrounds it on 3 sides? Did this all fall into place to easily? Also, the writers really got Nancy out of all those bad situations quickly! First U-Turn bit it and then only two weeks later the body of her husband who she had murdered is found only to be swept under the rug by a police department cover up?

I think they piled so much stuff on at the end of last season that it is hard navigating the waters this year. Even though I think agree with place the show is trying to bring us (away from here!) I am not sure I agree with the path.

Maybe next week will be more my speed. I really wasn't impressed by the foot fetish side story, nor the Celia & Sullivan hookup (They were really pushing for Emmy there!)

K, I finally watched it. Btw, Nancy didn't have him killed, Conrad's aunt did. You're right about everything being resolved a little too neatly. I want to know why she was stalking his first wife and drawing her and what not??

That's right. No matter though.....as Nancy probably wanted him killed at that time anyway with all that was going on!

I have no idea what that stalking thing is all about. Guess we will have to wait till Monday to find out (with her breasts smooched in the mamogram x-ray machine!)

Random fact: That ex-wife is also on Dirty Sexy Money. She was the mother to Brian's child who left to go to Brazil.
