Weeds: "Threshold" Review

  

One of Nancy's rather unflattering pictures. 

Why is nothing resolved in Weeds? The only thing that had any closure was Nancy's storyline. She suddenly realized through her new-new-new-new personality that she had it all wrong. She still wanted to sell pot, just legally. I find it funny that she automatically assumed that she was a pot dealer when she was talking about it to the Rabbi (do they ever mention his name on this? They usually just call him the Rabbi). She didn't even realize that she wasn't until she talked to Silas like an hour later.

I find it rather odd that she would cuddle up to Andy like that. I find it rather odd Andy can even live in the same house with her after suckling her tit and being rejected and used by her multiple times. But, hey! I guess that's their dynamic. They're definitely not what you'd call a normal family.

For the love of god, just kill off Doug. I honestly don't care if his death sucks because any feeling I had for his character has been switched to hate because all he's used for is the only source of comedy for this show and filler. This show has a lot of filler. It's usually good, but this season, the filler has been Doug and Shane's storylines, the most boring and hate-able characters on the show. While Shane dug himself in more shit, such as letting a black chick smash his window and electrocuting someones cock off, Doug was getting to know his homeless people, and even met the girl from the school supplies commercial that sings! What fun! Nether of these were resolved either, which I've come to suspect from this show is the past season.

How are they going to get from this episode to the one in the promo? They should have spent the end of this episode setting up for them traveling to California. I bet the new-new-new-new Nancy's gonna be like "What other place than Regrestic, you know, where I caused a wildfire, to start up my shop?!" She's always been the brains of the family. Seriously, I think she's had one good idea in the entire show and that was Plan C.

What the fuck happened to Stevie? I guess we're meant to assume he's either there and not worth our time with his horrible even for a toddler acting skills, or he went with Jill. Neither of which makes since. The former doesn't because I'd rather watch a kid read from a script than watch Shane and Angela watch guys suck each other dicks, and the latter because Nancy spent like two full episodes trying to bitch Jill into stop trying to be Stevie's mother, and now she'd just let her take him back.

This episode was above average for this season, and the entire episode wasn't filler, which is more than I can say for half of this season or almost every other season. The next episode looks kickass, and hopefully won't disappoint. I think something's going to happen to Andy, because of Nancy's blood-curdling "ANNNDDYYYYYYYY!" at the end of the promo. Can't wait!

7.7/10
