Weeds "Risk" Not Paying Off

I found this to be the most agreeable episode in weeks, but unfortunately that does not in any way redeem months of lifeless scripts.

The whole thing about Shane seeing his dead dad was more sad then goofy - which I think was the angle they were going for. I knew there had to be something weird going on as when he spoke to the camera it just didn't make sense that the producers would break the 4th Wall and actually have a character talk directly to the audience. It is just not the style of this series.

As for the rest of the episode: The cross micro plot was marginally funny. The fact that Sullivan is a pot head was a semi interesting aside.

I actually like the fact that it looks like Nancy will go to the Mexicans to beat up those white trash bikers. I think that might just be enough of a hook to get me to tune in for another week.

Only two episodes left...

Re: Weeds "Risk" Not Paying Off

Remind me never to be a drug dealer. It seems so stressful! So the bikers are going to come after her and her peeps now just because she didn't like their product??? That's very unreasonable! I don't know what is up with Shane, poor kid. He has been largely ignored by the fam this season, poor lil guy.

Did you know that Shane (Alexander Gould) was both the voice of Nemo -in Finding Nemo- and Bambi -in Bambi II? Oh, never mind! - you probably did being that seems to be your genre of choice.

In all seriousness, he seems to be a very smart kid. He will probably end up doing porn when he is all grown up like most smart child actors end up doing when they are all washed up...
