There was so much wrong with this season and especially the finale that all I can say is I hope when the movie comes out they reveal it all to be a withdrawal hallucination Vince had in rehab. (oh, and I was one of the few people who thought last season was actually pretty good).

I really don't get why they had E fuck Melinda. What a great way to start a new family, by lying to the woman carrying your child. Like she'll never find out? That totally went against the character of E and made him less sympathetic to the viewer (in the last season of your show no less). Bad writing.

And Vince's marriage? WHAT THE FUCK? Why? Seriously.... why? It didn't even make sense... Maybe it made sense for Vince, since he's had a history of things like this (Mandy Moore), but it made absolutely no sense that a chick like Sophia would fall for that. Especially after viewing a creepy stalker video.

Don't even get me started on Ari. Being an agent was the thing he loved most in life, and he QUITS? B.S.. Plus his wife is a giant ****, he should have stuck with Dana. I thought the writers were actually on to something with that.


I was highly disappointed with this finale.

A much more satisfying ending:

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.

So I gave up on this show after Season 4. Are the last 4 seasons worth watching then? And what about this feature film that Doug Ellin has been promising?

Finally saw the ending tonight. Wish I could unsee it. Piece of nonsensical crap. Hated just about everything this season except Ari & Dana relationship.

At least Curb was on fire.

While I saw this coming from a mile away... the Sarah McLachlan was a nice touch.

This scene was obviously manipulated. No doubt two planes can't take off at the same time like this.

Also what the hell did Vince mean when he said to E "I'll find you?"

His wedding was in Paris that night. E was going to go anywhere in the world. Makes no sense whatsoever that they could coordinate plans and meet up.
