Weeds - "Mrs. Botwin's Neighborhood" - 9/11

Mrs. Botwin's Neighborhood

Spoiler:
Nancy must deal with Silas and Megan's pregnancy, as well as the surrounding Armenian mob's encroaching presence on the grow house. Isabel auditions for "Huskeroo," while Celia prepares for her election debate and tries in vain to get Nancy involved. Heylia prepares for her first date with Joseph. Peter gives Nancy the perfect wedding gift.

About to watch the episode. Anyone know why they have a different version of the opening song/credits for each show this season?

Have to say that I didn't feel sorry for the older son at all. What kind of ass tries to get a girl pregnant? Hope they didn't flush all the weeds down the toilet.

I like that they are having a different group do the opening song each week this season, but I wish they would tell you who it is. I am too lazy to look it up every week and the only one I recognized by sound was Elvis Costello.

Has anyone noticed that the DEA guy is named Peter Scottson and that Nancy's alias is named Lacey? I wonder if it is some strange reference to Scott & Lacey Peterson.

They actually do tell you in the credits at the end of each episode who performed the theme.

Even better, they keep a list of all the music and you can listen to it http://myspace.com/weedsmusiconshowtime

Another good episode. I hope the two idiots figured out how to turn off the water before they completely flooded the house. They'll have enough problems when Conrad sees what they did to the plants.

On IMDb, this is listed as trivia:

"The name of Nancy and Andy's "fakery" is Breadsticks and Scones."

Is there any significance to this, because I'm just not getting it.

Also, does



Justin Kirk (Andy) remind anyone else of



Timothy Olyphant

Just a play on the phrase "sticks and stones", I guess.

I kinda like the concept of different artists performing the theme song- the old was was getting a bit irritating after last season...

What was with all the farts in this episode?! I thought that I had switched to Family Guy "Remember that one time I ate burritos with Pauly Shore and had to be in an episode of Weeds?" I'd like to track down the writer of this episode and smack some damn sense into him. I also hated how Shane was now all of a sudden great friends with the kids that picked on him earlier.. good Christ, talk about shitty writing, maybe this guy never went to a public school?

Otherwise a deecnt episode, I'm kind of glad what happened with Silas and the scene between Nancy and Peter at the coffee house was damn good acting. Oh, this was also the first episode of the season that didn't end in some kind of cliff-hanger.. I've enjoyed them but it could wear thin so it's nice to have a break from it.

probably more like Shane is the oddball with very few friends, he'd jump at the chance to show off to the more 'popular' kids.

And Silas is a douchebag

Yeah, the abreviation is BS...as in BULLSHIT BAKERY. Another great epsiode... I agree, didn't feel sorry for Silas at all, if anything, he got what he deserved. Loved the scene with Doug talking about the debate "I could take a shit on one of those make a wish cancer kids and still get votes".

Great episode. Gonna miss Silas' girlfriend, she was HOT.

Hope they didn't flush all the plants. I wonder how far Peter will let Nancy go with this business she's working on.
