Which Weeds Season Finale Is Your Favorite?
Last night Weeds said goodbye to season five with another classic cliffhanger, and as usual I can't believe I'll have to wait a year to see the aftermath. The show has had its up and downs, but it has never failed to make my jaw drop come finale time. Over the years there have been some truly shocking episodes, but which Weeds season finale is your favorite?
Caption It: Which Caption Should Win?
Recently on Weeds, Alanis Morissette joined Justin Kirk for a conversation near a Ms. Pac-Man arcade game.
It's a funny photo, so thanks for all of your suggestions in this week's Caption It challenge!

Do You Prefer Weeds In or Away From Agrestic?
The first three seasons of Weeds had a fairly simple story: suburban mom starts dealing pot after her husband's death to keep her kids living nice lives in their comfortable McMansion. But starting with season four, the show blew up that formula completely, leaving behind the boring subdivision and moving the Botwin family to the Mexican border, where many of their old Agrestic associates have now relocated as well.
I still miss some of what Weeds left behind in Agrestic — Conrad and Heylia, mostly — but the show did pick up a new sense of urgency and danger when it moved closer to the heart of a Mexican drug ring.
Listen Up: "Bang Bang" by Sara Schiralli (from Weeds)
I played the final moments of Monday's episode of Weeds a few times last night just to take in the great closing song. Called "Bang Bang," the song by the London-based, half-Italian half-British singer-songwriter Sara Schiralli lent the perfect melancholy quality to the episode's pivotal scenes.
Based on what I'm hearing on Schirali's MySpace page, this is an artist worth keeping an eye on.
TV Tonight: Weeds and Nurse Jackie
"The Hemptress" is back — and this time, she's bringing a friend. Weeds returns to Showtime tonight to start its fifth season, and the network is using that opportunity to launch a high-profile and intriguing new series, Nurse Jackie.
I'm especially curious to see what this season of Weeds will hold considering the total transformation the show undertook last year.

Weeds Says "Yes We Cannabis" to Season Five
I admit I tapered off Weeds a bit toward the end of season four, when Nancy's now-very-serious drug dealing got to be a bit too much. (Where was my iced coffee and my satirical suburbia?) But that doesn't mean I'm not curious to see what new twists and turns the Weeds folks have cooked up for us for season five.
These two new promos for Showtime are helping raise my interest.
An Exciting Monday: New Pics From The Lovely Bones, Gossip Girl Spinoff and More
When I turned on my computer this morning, I discovered link after link bringing me to new photos from upcoming movies and TV shows. There's a first glimpse at Russell Crowe in Ridley Scott's Robin Hood and two images from Peter Jackson's film adaptation of The Lovely Bones. There's a first look at the young Lily from the Gossip Girl spinoff, and (appropriately for today, the 20th of April) we've got a new poster for Weeds.
