Last night marked the end of the fifth season of "weeds seasons 1-5," and for those of us who've watched every episode of the show, it's hard not to expect big things. Weeds Seasons On DVD Past season finales have tended to put protagonist Nancy in mortal danger (not all that difficult, given her line of work), but she always survives. Last season,Weeds DVD Box Set it was by telling politician/drug lord Esteban (or should that be "drug lord/politician"?)Weeds DVD she was pregnant with his son,Weeds Seasons 1-5 DVD Box Set which meant this season found her dealing with the consequences of the decision to have that baby.
Series creator Jenji Kohan offers her thoughts on the season as a whole up top, Weeds DVD and while presumably she knows her own artistic intentions, her claim that Nancy is in love with Esteban pulled Weeds 1-5 DVD Box Set me up short. Even if we grant that Nancy was attracted to Esteban in Season 4 (you know -- enough to sleep with him, at least), it hasn't been clear to me in Season 5 that she really wanted to stay with him. Weeds Seasons 1-5 DVD Box SetThe conception of baby Stevie may not have been a tactical move,Weeds DVD Box Set but carrying him to term certainly started out that way (and Nancy's ambivalence about that was clear in the early episode that found her smoking and boozing while pregnant).Weeds DVD As she spent the rest of the season ping-ponging from Ren-Mar to Mexico (and from Andy to Esteban), her real feelings remained inscrutable,weeds seasons 1-5 at least to me; her main motivation for all her actions seemed to be her own survival, and that of her children.Weeds Seasons On DVD By the end of the season, when she visited Guillermo in jail to try to induce him to kill Pilar, it barely seemed to have anything to do with Esteban at all -- rather,Weeds DVD Box Set it just seemed like Nancy didn't want to lose, to another woman, Weeds 1-5 DVD Box Set at anything. So now,Weeds DVD Nancy is married to an extraordinarily controlling man (who sets up his own gynecological office in his home and even edits Nancy's choice in deodorant) --weeds seasons 1-5 but she is out of imminent physical danger, and, financially, probably set for life. (Remember when she got by dealing marijuana?Weeds DVD Box Set It seems like that was a long time ago.) Nancy's greatest (current) antagonist is apparently dead, but her son is apparently a murderer.weeds seasons 1-5 Her devoted brother-in-law seems to be happy, Weeds Seasons On DVD but he's in love with another woman and may not be available to her the next time she needs to flee. Nancy may not have to worry about campus cops or even the DEA anymore -- but she still has a lot of problems on deck for Season 6. Weeds DVD Here's hoping that her solving them requires her to spend any time with her original supporting cast. Watching Celia, in her Nancy drag, assembling "her" team out of the remnants of Nancy's old team (with Ignacio instead of Conrad? Downgrade!) just reminded me of where the show started, and what I miss about it now.
