SofaChip’s Advance Review of Weeds’ Season 5 Premiere “Wonderful, Wonderful”

Weeds season five kicks off with the first of 13 new episodes on June 8th, with the episode “Wonderful, Wonderful”

The most pressing matter in Nancy Botwin’s life seems to be the fact that her boyfriend (also a Mexican drug kingpin) knows she talked to the Feds, and consequently wants to kill her. Except – oops. She’s pregnant with his kid. And that’s the only thing keeping her alive, for now. Apparently you don’t die for betrayal when you get pregnant! If you think she’s in for a smooth ride, you’d be wrong. Then again, when is Nancy’s life ever uncomplicated?

Another shocker from last season was when we saw the return of Quinn – only to realize that she had a plan to ransom her mother back to suburbia.  I always wished Quinn would return, and I never suspected it would be like this. Celia doesn’t have very good luck, and the kidnapping does not go orderly. Maybe Quinn has bad luck, too. Could it be hereditary?

Andy is awesome as usual. He has one quote in this episode that goes, “They’re cats. Mexican cats. Gatos.”

As for our favorite brotherly duo…well… Silas and Shane explore their new brotherly dynamic as Shane is coming up in the world of popularity at school. Shane seems to be a rebel these days. Wonder where he gets that from?

Every season of Weeds brings drastic changes. Nay – every episode of Weeds brings drastic changes! Which means you can’t miss a single one. But that’s okay – I know you wouldn’t want to anyway.
