I hope everyone doesn't screw up. I like the whole aspect of the guys making it on their own and not just doing the whole "frat house" thing with Vince.

Best episode of the season. I have to say that this was one of the few times that the storyline kept me riveted, and the comedy was secondary, as it is always the other way around.

It seems like these Entourage threads get less and less replies every week. Has the show jumped the shark yet? I haven't watched it in quite a few years but I got bored after Season 3 or so.

Solid episode.
Should be an interesting final 2 episodes. It's pretty obvious Drama isn't going to get Melrose and Lloyd is going to get fucked over somehow.

I still enjoy the show -- I just have nothing to say (although I remain bemused about the constant complaints that nothing happens on the show. Are you people expecting an episode where Johnny Drama gets killed or something?)

it certainly hasn't jumped the shark... it just hasn't been very eventful as of late. I still like the show, and it's still good... it just doesnt have the same "umph" it once did.

Not at all... it's just that typically the seasons revolved around Vince and a movie. This season we haven't seen any of that. It's been all E/Ashley/Sloan and a plot-line about a new character that nobody cares about and him cheating on his wife.

First the 'Ross calling Emily, Rachel' with E and Ashley and now 'Rachel moving to France' with Turtle and Jamie... Either the writers are big fans or I've been watching too much Friends with the Mrs.

Although I did like the turn the Ashley storyline took this episode. I have never had a problem with this plot like most people though. The fight in the restaurant where Ashley looked ready to completely snap was great. I kept expecting her to come running out and tackle E while he was on the phone with his assistant.

She is but wtf is he having consternation about? He's f'ing Meadow Soprano who's been nothing but great to him. I'd get it if she'd been treating him like a sub-human. As it stands, he's the biggest idiot ever if he ends up wrecking this relationship because some cute little skirt is walking by him.

I understand some of the complaints about this being an uneventful season, but I've actually been fairly pleased with it. I have kind of liked that it hasn't been the standard Entourage season, especially since this season didn't end up becoming about making a movie with Scorsese. The one big misstep this season for me was all the time devoted to Ari's agent friend.
It's been so long since I saw season 1, wasn't it similar in nature to this season? I'm just meaning that it was more lazy in nature, that it was more about Vince and the guys hanging out rather than a movie. I know the other guys' plotlines weren't as big that first season.

I thought Ari's change of heart on letting Drama go was a stretch. In the space of a 20-something minute episode he goes from "DIE LLOYD!" to OK, Lloyd can win. C'mon.

definetely the best episode of the season, but possibly too little, too late. again, worst season so far, but now it feels like its trying to redeem itself at the end.
agreed w/ Nefarious. turtle is w/ meadow, there should be no second guessing or confusion there! haha no college girl compares to meadow! haha
im glad the ashley angle is (hopefully) over now, i like the way it was ended at the restaurant.
the whole lloyd/ari/drama was done well too. lloyd screaming yippe-kay ay motherfucker had me !

I don't think Ari was letting Lloyd win in slightest. I think he knows Drama isn't worth a damn in the talent department and figures no better way to fuck over Lloyd that having his one client be someone nobody will hire. I figure Drama either won't get the part on Melrose or it will turn out to be a short walk on for one ep or so.
I too hope Turtle doesn't mess up his relationship with Jamie-Lynn. She treats him like royalty, and looks fine. I will say that this episode's theme seemed to be about commitment in both personal and professional relationships, and what people will do to preserve them. It also made women look like people who are possessive and paranoid about their men and want to make others jealous.

I think it's more because, when he really stops his high-powered agent act, we've seen him be very emotional when it comes to the whole group. He's said Vince is the only client he considered a friend, he's sat down and had heart to hearts with Turtle and E already, and he would like to see Drama succeed as well.

Hell, Ari told Drama after he let him go to tell Lloyd that he's gunning for him. Ari is not going to let Lloyd get away with leaving this easily. But Ari isn't going to devote any real time for Drama. He knows that. Might as well let him go, keep Vince happy. It's not like Johnny Chase is going to bring big money into the agency.

I thought with Lloyd leaving, Ari would realize he was a real prick and that he needs Lloyd at Miller/Gold. Now, it doesnt seem that way at all.
