Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

Come on guys, stop complaining... It ended with as much significance as it had when it came in. I enjoyed it! It's sad that the Entourage finale was more emotional, fulfilling, and well written than Rescue Me but there it is. Kudos HBO!

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

This show for me was always a cool light show but never great. The ending just sets it up for a movie if they decide to go that route. It was a "whatever" ending to an alright show that I really did enjoy, but some of their execution in the final seasons was iffy at best.

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

I would have agreed with you about 2 seasons ago, but the last 2 seasons that got all 'serious' and got away from the light hearted stupid comedy that made the show great. I always said they should have ended after Season 6, as that season finale tied up many characters arcs.

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

I'm glad we got one more scene with Ari yelling "LLOYD!!!". I would totally be down for an Ari spin-off based on the post credits scene.

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

I hope all the guys enjoyed their acting career... because outside of Kevin Dillon, I don't see many of them getting anything major at this point.

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

Jeremy Piven will be fine too.

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

That just about sums it up for me.

It was rushed and sloppy, but I'm glad everybody got their happy ending.

Don't need a movie. Don't think an Ari spinoff would work either.

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

I'm sure they can forgive reality to make it work, but the Ari spinoff potential got messed up when they hired Dana into the role as studio head. The position he's up for now as the head of a conglomerate doesn't exactly get you daily interactions with random celebrities.

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

Wow. That was felt like they tried to squeeze an entire season into one episode. I feel the ending was setting up an Ari spinoff, not a movie.

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

As expected, we got a pretty run-of-the-mill romantic comedy ending. Pretty disappointing. The most disappointing thing was how Vince was handled this season. I just didn't really understand this quick marriage thing. It just didn't make much sense, and it really felt like exactly what it was: forced. I'd sample an Ari spin-off show, but I don't have any strong feelings one way or another about whether they ever do that or make a movie.

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

No one talked about the reference to the Limey? ("I'm fucking coming for you.")

Was it to obvious, or not obvious enough?

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

If more than four seven people saw it maybe they would have noticed it. I saw it and don't remember anything about it.

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

Well I guess it's a coincidence that the character's name is Terrance, and the actor who said it in the Limey is Terrance Stamp. Other than that, I guess Malcolm McDowell looks a bit like Terrance Stamp.

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

It was a pretty predicatable finale, and the one thing that wasn't predicatable (Vince getting married) was just stupid. They made Sophia out to be a no-nonsense gal - smart, confident, independent and with a good head on her shoulders. She saw Vince for what he really is. Of course that all changes with just one date with him... and she's ready to marry him already.

Did you hear? Vince is a great guy. He really is. Oh, did I mention that Vince is a great guy? Ugh.

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

Wow, I didn't know that was the last one when I watched it.

Wild.

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

How is there not an HD framegrab of Mrs. Ari yet?

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

I really enjoyed the finale. Really enjoyed. Even got a little teary eyed to tell the truth. Really satisfying and fitting end and I would totally watch an Ari spinoff.

Excellent bookend!

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

The episode ended being exactly what I expected: nothing more, nothing less. It was kinda funny, kinda sad and unrealistically wrapped up most of the character's lives. I do think it's interesting that it ended at the airport much like the season 6 finale (which several of you have already commented SHOULD have been the series finale - which I agree). But I'm glad we got 2 more years with the characters and I thought the drama that came made sense as these characters grew up and had more responsibility than they did when the show started.

I will admit that the end credits scene was the best of the episode, despite it not featuring Vince and the gang.

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

Just realized this adds another series finale to my very rare recent list.

Big Love was the first series that I've been watching to end (2010) since Six Feet Under (2005). Now Entourage joins the list.

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

Has a Led Zeppelin song ever been used on a TV show before?

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

I've always loved Entourage. Even these past two seasons, while not as good, are still enjoyable and it's fun hanging out with these characters for 30 minutes each week.

That being said, what a dissapointing finale! The E & Sloane stuff, sure, I'll buy it. They've rehashed it time and time again, but ok. Drama & Turtle, nothing really changed at all for them.

Vince getting married was perhaps the dumbest thing they've ever done on this show. As someone else pointed out, they make this girl out to be a classy and sophisticated career driven girl and after one date she's ready to marry him?

The ending scene with Ari was completely unnecessary. It was almost a self promotion for a spin-off/upcoming movie. Which speaking of, now that three of the main characters are whipped beyond belief, do we really want to watch them anymore? The whole living the ultimate guy lifestyle thing has been thrown out the window now. Ugh... I'll still buy the complete series box set when it comes out, but this series is on par with the Seinfeld finale.

And for one of the above posters...

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

:lol: Joke?

The nicest thing I can say is that it wasn't as bad as Lost's finale.

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

I have been saving most of this season in my DVR but have been following through this site. Seems to me (like everyone else) they should have had the series end with the 2009 finale and then maybe compressed some of last season and this one into a movie. I would love to see more of these guys, but this series has nowhere near the momentum and interest Sex and the City had when it ended, despite being on the air for more seasons.

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

Ugh. What a waste. They tried to pull a "Friends" with E and Sloan and it just doesn't work. Sloan isn't likable at all, and once they got engaged that first time, it should've just stuck instead of wasting a whole season of Sloan and E yelling at each other over the phone. Not fun or funny. Or better yet, this season should've been about E on the prowl, finally. Or for god sake, bring back that cool googly-eyed chick that E kept lying to. She was actually a great girlfriend to him. She was supportive of his dreams while being honest about things like hating that lame actor he was repping, liked spending time with him and seemed to really be a lot of fun and genuinely loved him. She also had her own life, and job, and goals. Sloan was always just another Mrs. Ari, a spoiled nagging waste of space with no dreams or ambitions of her own except to be rich and pampered without appreciating the fact that she was with a man with a work ethic.

Same with Ari. The best parts of this season were Ari and Dana Gordon's scenes. I'd be much more excited about a movie with them together trying to manage their work lives and find time for each other and maybe conflicts of interest due to their positions in showbusiness. Plenty of room for material there, plus they have fantastic chemistry and are genuinely likable as a couple. Instead, here we go with Mrs. Ari again, after leaving him and banging another guy, she still somehow finds a way to take the high road and have Ari weeping for forgiveness and any new movie or whatever will once again have the tired old thread of Ari wanting to work and Mrs. Ari wanting him to be her own personal attendant. Boring.

Sophia was a really promising character. Too bad we barely got to see any of her. Also, too bad the finale was so awfully written that rather than actually SHOWING us any of this spellbinding date or anything that indicated how Vince and this woman bonded to each other, we just get a scene of talking. In fact, this whole episode was people talking about things that happened, or explaining something that is going to happen, but we didn't actually get to see anything happen. Did these writers forget everything they learned in Screenwriting 101?

There was so much that could've happened this season. Whatever happened to Vince's career? What happened to the deals and the meetings and the exciting turns of events that made this show so interesting and fun? Instead all we got was a weepy soap-opera of poor down on their luck guys chasing the snotty whining women in their lives. E should've told Sloan to fuck off. Ari should've told Melissa to fuck off, Vince should have gotten to spend some quality on-camera time with Sophia, even as she resists him (instead of other people wooing her on his behalf... boring!), and the boys should've been partying it up with a newly-single Ari and E, and hustled for movies/awards for Vince, and titties in every other scene. That would have been a stellar season. Instead we got a hang-dog Andrew Dice Clay whining about his expenses and a junkie blowing his brains out in a comedy show (I guess that was their "very special episode" moment). Sheesh.

Re: Entourage -- Series Finale -- "The End" -- 9/11/11
 

Yeah, I barely paid attention to the rushed wrap up/spin off stuff but my ears perked up at the end. They must have paid big bucks for that. I'm sure at this late date they cleared the music rights for the DVD. At least the music kept me around for the end(!) scene.
