Mai, Oh My!

As I’ve become increasingly uninteresting with age, I’ve also upped a notch in total randomness (ie – ranting about drama going on in my life). Thank you TWITTER for allowing me to express nothing in 140 characters or less.

Here’s something that rock my socks off right now.

WEEDS
I’ve had friends telling me how awesome the show is and it took me a couple years to finally start watching/catching up on the show. Jump one month later, I am more than halfway throughthe 4th season. To quote my twitter:

“Don’t think I’ve ever gone from hating to loving a character in the same ep. every ep. It’s so emotionally titilating”.

Main character breakdown

Nancy Botwin portrayed by Mary-Louise Parker

She’s like your naive yet smart mother. She has a plan and she doesn’t even know it. I find she communicates well with her eyes. She’s got huge eyes that you can crawl into. She’s kinda like a slut which makes you kind of hate her. Love her cause you know you’d hit it too.

Celia Hodes portrayed by Elizabeth Perkins

She’s probably one of my favourite characters on this show. I go from hating to loving her in almost every episode. Pure fucking brilliance.

Andy Botwin portrayed by Justin Kirk

Andy is Nancy’s brother-in-law. I can’t help but like this guy. He means well though it doesn’t always translate well. He’s funny, he cooks well (oooh!) and is kinda cute. He reminds me of someone too and can’t help but see bits of this person in Andy – which makes me feel like I know him.

Silas Botwin portrayed by Hunter Parrish

He was kind of annoying at first – and still kinda is. He thinks he’s “the man” but damn by Season 4, boy got HOTTTTT. Like “oh my god – he’s so hot” everytime he gets on screen.

Shane Botwin portrayed by Alexander Gould

Though Silas may think he’s ‘the man’ – Shane is THE MAN..well boy – whatever. Kid is smart and way ahead of his time. If there was a guy like this that went to my school when I was 12/13 years old, I’d be all over him like cheese on macaroni.

Doug Wilson portrayed by Kevin Nealon

I use to watched Saturday Night Live when Kevin Nealon was a regular cast member. I think this character is probably just natural for him to play. I also read on wiki that he improvises most of his lines for the show. He’s like a more tolerable version of Will Ferrell.

Honourable Mention:

GUILLERMO - the hot shot drug dealer guy that’s in season 3 and 4. You are scared of him – then you eventually grow to like him and think he’s kind of sweet (for a drug dealer).

CONRAD - I liked him until he hooked up with Nancy.
