MiraJeff Gives Tonight’s WEEDS Season Finale An ‘A’!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
Longtime AICN spy “MiraJeff” got his hands on the “Weeds” season finale. Zooey Deschanel is it it!! Here’s his appraisal:
The season finale centers on Nancy and Conrad's big drug deal with U-Turn (Page Kennedy).
She's got a pretty busy day ahead of her, and she's filled with anxiety. Her youngest son, Shane, is set to graduate from junior high and his older brother Silas has gone MIA. Mourning the end of her affair with Doug, Celia watches surveillance videos alone in her motel room and spies Silas on one of the tapes before he reaches up and disconnects the camera. Later, Nancy finds all the security cameras and Drug Free Zone signs in Silas' bedroom, realizing that her kid was just looking out for her because he didn't want her to get caught and go to jail.
Celia moseys over to the Botwin household brandishing a gun to confront Silas with, though Nancy quickly puts the kibosh on that plan, but not before Celia squeezes off a round.
Meanwhile, Kat (guest star Zooey Deschanel) tries to convince Andy to flee to South America with her and $1.3 million worth of stolen poker chips, but despite her best efforts and sexual enticement, Andy remains un-swayed.
At the graduation ceremony, Shane gives a speech that works the students into a frenzy, and in the midst of the chaos, he notices Nancy leaving early. Upset, he later runs off with Kat, who steals Andy's van, leaving him to chase after them alongside Abumchuk, the Alaskan bounty hunter who is after Kat.
Also, Dean finds out Doug had an affair with his wife, and the two get into a fight at Shane's graduation party... so...
Conrad asks Heylia to help him with his Peter predicament, but she seems to have already made an arrangement with Kesheshian, the leader of the Armenian pot ring that Peter busted. Peter surprises Nancy and Conrad just as the deal is about to go down, but decides to watch from afar from the safety of his car... until there's a knock on his window. Peter's fate, it seems, remains unseen behind closed (garage) doors.
U-Turn arrives on cue but instead of the drug money, he's brought some high-powered artillery to steal Nancy's miracle harvest.
And that's when the shit really hits the fan and Kesheshian's crew barges in with more automatic weapons, demanding the money U-Turn was supposed to have brought, and the weed Nancy and Conrad were supposed to have grown. But when Nancy cracks open her sticky-icky safe, she finds it empty.
That's when Silas calls in from the road. He has all the drugs in the trunk of his car. Nancy begs him to return the stash and that's when Celia pulls up behind Silas in a squad car, insisting the police arrest Silas for stealing the security cameras.
And that's it. Silas is about to get searched by a cop, Nancy and Conrad have a whole bunch of guns trained on them and no excuses, Peter has been "taken care of," Shane is driving cross-country with a sexy lunatic, and Andy is chasing after them with a crazed Inuit.
Pretty crazy stuff, huh? Can't wait to see what happens in next season's premiere. I am helplessly addicted to this show, so Showtime, hurry up and bring this sucker back so I can get my Weeds fix.
Grade (for the show, the season, and the episode): A
Nancy and Conrad’s Homegrown MILF Weed: A+

Showtime is really starting to get some high quality shows. Weeds is my favorite, and they cancelled Huff, but they've got some other really good programming. I find myself watching Showtime more than HBO these days. HBO better get on the ball, because I can't be the only one who feels this way.
-
Where's the Dexter talkback, it's definately the more geek-oriented show on Showtime.
-
dang. i am seriously regreting reading this spoiler-rific post.
I usually am such a spoiler whore, but dang, this ep would have made me pee my pants. -
i totally agree. Showtime is much better than HBO nowadays. I'm still much embittered about the cancellation of Carnivale. And it boggles the mind that Deadwood is gone.
-
A synopsis would have been fine, but that was a scen by scene description. Yes, I am a dick for reading the whole thing, but for pete's sake the word SPOILER would have made me not look at it in the first place. SHEESH
-
....they cut the absolutely inane voice overs. Talk about cliched, it's like he's reading from his character bio instead of saying anything valid.
-
after 24 . . the trailer for the new season has driven me crazy. i figured peter would be a prime candidate to get whacked.
-
Dude, it says SPOILER in a red framed box on the Ain'tItCool.com homepage, which you would have had to click the link to access the article.
-
next guy...but DEXTER is the best new show this season...Yes I watch Heroes...Dexter is much more captivating.
-
The first season was okay but the second has been fucking hilarious. I nearly couched up a lung during Celia and Kevin Nealon's fucking montage. Now, if Mary Louise could just eat a few sandwiches, this show would be perfect.
-
Dexter has Buffy-verse Alum Julie Benz in it...I thought that any appearance by any actor who ever appeared in one frame of anything Whedon was an automatic guaranteed talkback...
-
who thought the second season of Weeds was incredibly disappointing.
Most of the character antics are now way too silly and over-the-top. The first season was terrific. I hope the writers bring it back down to Earth for the next season. -
She is the end product of uncounted milleniae of human evolution. There should be mandatory world-wide holidays whenever a Zooey-centric movie or television show airs.

Losing Six Feet Under, soon to be losing The Soprano's and the idiotic canceling/handling of Deadwood leave's HBO scripted drama in the shitter. This is what they have left -- another season of Rome, which will probably be it's final season since HBO kicked and screamed and didn't want to renew it for a 2nd season, not to mention no Julius Ceasar in season 2 which could hurt a lot...some more Entourage which only fills a 1/2 hour, The Wire which no one watches and Big Love which was a moderate hit, but not earth shattering TV. I haven't seen any promo's for new HBO series lately and I have a feeling they are going to be dry for awhile...that said, Weeds is better than anything on HBO right now including Entourage and The Soprano's. Great season finale and I only hope they don't wait till next August to start season 3. With Weeds and Dexter, Showtime has stepped up to the plate big time. I'm tivo'ing more shows on Showtime right now than HBO. Never thought I'd say that.

If MLP was smokin THE FRANKENSTEIN I'd suck it out of her snatch! Nobody Fucks with the lion!
-
Bro, you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion gets here.
-
I completely agree with the opinion that Weeds has gotten much better in the second season. The characters are getting more complicated and fleshed out. Yes, the drama happening can feel excessive, yet it just seems to fit as you watch MLP stare in dazed horror while sucking on the last dregs of her iced cappuchino as the consequences of her actions unfold. The last episode just clinched it, it pulled EVERYTHING together from the season that made you wonder "what on earth is the point of this?". It felt very Tarantino-esque to me, actually, which I think was acknowleged by the closing credits music. Looking forward to a similarly great 3rd season, as I can't imagine how this will get any better!
-
This was just a mess. I really don't care about Zoe, Peter didn't need to get whacked. Did Nancy even have any fuckin lines in this or did she just make little scared noises? Pathetic.
-
fuck all you haters. that finale was 99 kinds of awesome. i don't know how long we have to wait for the next season, but it's too long.
-
I haven't yet succeeded in watching an ep of either one without declaring it the best show on TV.
-
"How can this spiral any more out of control?" and it does. Great writing. Hate the Haters. Weeds is the best scripted dramedy on the planet and yes, I realized too late that the SPOILER alert is in the frame of the link. Thank you...
-
Heh...probably been done, but heh nonetheless.
-
The writing weren't so ham-fisted and there was more than 1 actor(Hall) putting in an honest day's work.

Only just saw the finale last night. HBO is lost. Showtime is solid. But Showtime has been at least as cancel-happy as HBO, so I'm not ready to start good mouthing them yet. That was a great finale. However, it did seem a little cheesy how they tied up the DEA agent storyline. But then it's not a show I take seriously enough to care about those things. Nancy seems a little too care free in light of all she's been through this season. And although I have no problem with her choice of business in general, she's not the type to stay in it after all of this. Given the show's title, I guess it doesn't really matter what type she is. I hope that season 3 is somewhat lighter. I felt like they moved too quick into the season 2 events. They've now done the cops and the violent competition story lines. I'd prefer they get back to the feel of the first season. Aw hell, who am I kidding. They can just show Mary Louise Parker sucking on a straw for 30 minutes and I'd be entertained. ........ Dexter's good too. Kind of reminds me of Profit. Can't imagine that lasting long though. I mean, the dude's a serial killer, regardless of his targets. I find it hard to believe in "good" serial killers. But I do find it fascinating to watch him try to fit in with normal people. They'll have to eventually bring it to the point where he loses control (get's sloppy, etc) or else it'll feel phony.
