Wow, this is really feeling like a quick wrap-up. Drama and Turtle's, 'wow, I love that guy' line was cringe inducing.

Still, happy to see something finally turn out for Jonnie. Too bad it didn't happen a few seasons ago. Could have been some interesting stories.

So they pretty much wrapped up Turtle and Drama's story tonight, and they'll do some quickie resolution with Eric and Ari next week.

Drama's successful, finally.
Turtle is rich, although a little deus ex machina.

Next week,
Vince finds true love with the reporter
Eric goes back to NY with Sloan
Ari and Melissa reconcile

Everyone finds happiness.

ALTHOUGH
Spoiler:
The whole "Vince is super awesomely terrific!!!" vibe felt like a lead up to him dying in a car crash or something. I hope they don't go THAT route.

Ari and Dana together would have made sense, so of course instead it looks like we will see him trying to reconcile with his miserable wife.

As for Eric and Sloane's story arc...couldn't they have come up with something that isn't completely played out.

Nice that Vince made a boatload of cash for Turtle. Now he should tell the restaurant couple to go fuck themselves. Damn, are they annoying...

Big time. They surpassed Dom's first time appearance.

No shit. I thought they were supposed to be normal-people types from their Queens days.

And of course Vince didn't sell his stock (and even bought up Turtle's shares).

They show should be renamed to "Vince is God" - for how amazingly awesome they make him out to be.

Also, just a prediction here, but isn't $15 million the amount of money Ari needs to keep his company? Wouldn't surprise me if Vince gifts Turtle his $4 million and gives the $15 million to Ari.

If it was such a sure thing, Vince should have told Johnny and E to put their money in it as well!

The stupidest part was back when Cuban told Turtle they were going to go public and Turtle STILL wanted to sell. Come on, no one is that dumb.

Vince, I want to do this on my own so please don't invest $250K of your money in my restaurant. Oh, you want to just hand me $4 million of your money with no strings attached? Sweet!

Yeah, I had a chuckle at that nonsense.

It's obvious Eric will be back with Sloane, and as mentioned the deviced they used to do it is just so cliched. I always had a feeling Eric will wind up working for Ari - and I still think it may happen.

Yup. Why was Turtle so shocked that the company went public? Cuban told him they were going to do it soon. I can't believe he cried too.

The E and Sloan storyline is so lame. Ross and Rachel were never that bad.

I really thought this season would have played much better with Vince getting out of jail after a year or so (seriously, the guy had a kilo of coke on him) with us discovering that Eric, Drama and even Turtle were really big deals in their respective fields. The year could have been THEM helping HIM for a fucking change. Instead its same ol', same ol'.

Ever since that Ally Musicka started writing the episodes, this show has gone downhill. Why they let a chick write a show that's aimed at guys is just beyond me.

IMO, this was the best episode of the season. But that ain't saying much.

yea, as soon as I saw the 'movie' Vince was making interviewing the sluts he hooked up with I gagged.

so fuckin lame.

its so typical that Vince's character won't let it go there is someone out there who doesn't want to date him, that actually made me respect her character more! Yeah, give Vince a shot Sophia! So after he fucks you til he gets sick of and you and moves on, you will hate actors even more!

I did get a chuckle at how they used the space that Maggianos restaurant occupies in The Grove as the locale for Turtle's stupid Italian restaurant chain. Was that supposed to be an inside joke to those of us in LA who have actually eaten there?

While that storyline was a complete disaster that they made up for with the "surprise", Turtle got his shares originally for working the distribution of the tequila, and Vince got his shares for endorsing it. You can't "get in" unless you're buying up someone's private shares.
