TV Thoughts on Weeds: Nancy Goes Ghetto

Uh oh, Nancy. This is a dangerous path you're on.

This week on Weeds, our favorite suburban drug dealer found herself the driver in a drive-by shooting and with a case full of heroin in her garage. Meanwhile, her elder son has become a full fledged drug dealer, and her younger son is enrolled in a summer school that employs bizarre abortion scare tactics. Parent of the year, anyone?

A few highlights:

-Nancy's breakdown while scrubbing the blood out of the backseat at her car, happening while Uncle Andy sported a ridiculous wig. Mary Louise Parker and Justin Kirk are simply brilliant.

-WWVMD -- What would Vic Mackey (The Shield) do? Genius. But to follow it up with "That's it, no more cable." A masterpiece of irony. Love it.

-Matthew Modine in all his smarmy glory. He is perfect for the part.

-The fact that Nancy and Silas have never been closer since he started dealing drugs. The relationship Nancy has with her children is the most complicated parent/child dynamics on the tube.

-Marvin's "Hi Nancy," while in agony from having been shot in the ass. Jenji Kohan, how I love thee.

Can't wait 'til next week when we get our first glimpses of Mary Kate!
