Weeds Season 4

mek · 05-13-2008, 05:57 PM

This is airing on June 16th, if we're lucky like last year it'll start leaking any day now. Apparently it's now set on the San Diego / Mexico border, are they losing a lot of the original cast? Doug and Celia are still in it, at least. And apparently Albert Brooks is Nancy's father-in-law.

Curious what original cast members they're losing. They set it up for pretty much everyone to still be involved in some way. If Celia is still in it that means they're moving on with the investigation with her as a rat, which hints that Heylia and Conrad should still be part of the show. And Celia's husband and daughter(the young one=P) should still be around. And Nancy's family all went with her, right?

Fuck I still need to see season 3, it comes to DVD soon. I loved seasons 1 and 2 but heard bad things about season 3, I hope that's not true. I also need to see Dexter season 2. I fail at Showtime.

Season 3 thread has a lot of opinions, it's much darker than the other seasons for sure.

Burkex · 05-15-2008, 12:14 AM

Dark is cool. I am pretty much a dark person anyways. I think the lead chick is hot too for an older woman.

I've been really curious to see how they'll work in a lot of the people with Nancy moving. With everyone in Agrestic, it was fairly easy to have them in the show even if their storylines didn't directly connect with Nancy. With her behind in a completely new city, I'm thinking (but hoping not) that it'll be a stretch to still have some of these people in.

they could move to an agrestic "refugee" neighborhood down towards san diego.

Much of the cast were aware of the business. They might either blackmail her into still being involved with it or be invited along. I can definitely see her wanting Doug around. He's useful.

Al Brooks is cool. I'm looking forward to what he does, but Kevin Nealon is completely beyond comparison in this series.

I am really not looking forward to season 4. As many times as they've jumped the shark with their quick resolutions to major problems, I am sick of it. They spend all season getting Nancy into deeper and deeper trouble, and then they just kill off whomever happens to be the main antagonist at the time. They end the problem in five minutes, and there don't seem to be much consequences. Why do they spend 15 or 16 episodes putting her in impossible situations, only to spend a few minutes resolving it? If only life were so easy.

This show at times, alternates between great writing and pisspoor writing. My wife feels the same. We were hooked on the earlier seasons, but they've jumped the shark so many times that we don't care if Nancy turns into a drug mule while she's living at the border.

I have never been so down on a show that is starting season 4. Usually, by now, we either are happy with a show, or we've written it off.

If you ask me, the creative staff needs a douche.

Maybe they got the memo and will improve for season 4? Even if we discount the overarching storyline though, the show has so many funny moments that it's still worth watching imo.

How many shows pull off something like this?

I agree, the core of the show is in the comedy performances and individual scenes, not the overarching plot, which is intentionally absurd in many cases.

Agreed. The complaints people have with the plot just haven't occurred to me because I've been too busy enjoying the comedy side of things.

I, personally, would only bitch about the plot when they're shoving down my throat and I want to see more funny. Which is pretty much most of season 3.
