What I'm Watching: Weeds

Weeds: Season 4, Episode 8 "I Am the Table" (B+)

Hands-down the funniest moment of the season thus far - Shane hitting the other kid in the face with the lunch tray. That kid is going to grow up to be one messed-up person, but for the moment his antics are hilarious, especially because he gets his advice from a drug kingpin's underling after being told he has to go to school instead of helping to sell drugs. Seeing a bit less of Celia might be nice, as she adds little at the moment with her constant nodding off and whining about needing drugs. I'm thoroughly enjoying Andy and Doug's coyote business, especially giving matzoh to the Mexicans and his whole speech comparing himself to Moses. Silas' cheese shop drug front could go somewhere, and it's a good plotline for him after strong storylines with Megan in season one and Mary-Kate Olsen last season. Now, to Nancy and the mayor - their relationship is a bit messed up with all that blood everywhere, but it's nonetheless a fascinating interaction with great performances from both actors.
