Warning: This article contains important plot spoilers about Monday night’s episode of Weeds.
Weeds, Showtime’s break-out series about a housewife-turned-drug-dealing and her band of eccentric friends and family, definitely likes to try to shock its viewers.
First there was the shock last season when we learned that gritty, foul-mouthed Captain Roy Till was secretly gay and involved with his DEA-agent-partner Phil Schlatter. Then, a few episodes later, Schlatter was killed and Captain Roy was vowing a particularly vicious revenge.
On Monday night’s episode, Captain Roy’s plans for revenge came to a grisly, unsuccessful end.
Recently we chatted by phone with Jack Stehlin, the actor who plays Captain Roy, and who viewers might also remember for playing Dr. Angelman on the fourth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. [Editor's note: This interview was conducted before we had seen the episode which has genreated some controversy among viewers.]
AfterElton.com: Captain Roy is a fascinating character. It seemed like the death of his partner Schlatter changed him...

30 Rock -- Something happens when you assemble the right group of actors and give them the right words to say. It's called magic — or, in this case, the cast of 30 Rock. Once again, the ensemble is being recognized for its outstanding work. Obviously, Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey, and the inimitable Tracy Morgan anchor the group. But as with all great casts, the supporting players shouldn't be overlooked — where would Taxi be without Latka and Reverend Jim? Rounding out the noteworthy 30 Rock crew are Jane Krakowski, Scott Adsit, Katrina Bowden, Maulik Pancholy, Lonny Ross, Judah Friedlander, Keith Powell, Kevin Brown, Grizz Chapman, and the hilarious — even when he just stands there grinning — Jack McBrayer.The team magic was never more apparent than in the recent "Christmas Special" episode. As Kenneth (McBrayer) and Tracy (Morgan) listen in the background, Liz Lemon (Fey) delivers toys to a needy family, explaining that she found them through...
