Rilo Kiley - With Arms Outstretched (Spoiler Alert)

Today started off as a really awful day. It is getting a little better as it progresses but this song helped, it always gives me hope. I didn't think I was a fan of Rilo Kiley until this song was in the pilot of Weeds. It was then played again in the finale and it was probably one of my favorite moments of television history. At first I was really upset with the way the show ended, mainly because I watch TV shows for the unresolved sexual tension and I felt nothing was resolved for Nancy (in a romantic context). Upon further critique, I realized that was never the point of the show. Nancy Botwin just wanted to make sure she took care of her family and that they were happy and healthy so really this scene is the perfect resolution to the show. If Nancy Botwin can make it out alive, there is hope for all of us yet.
