ENTOURAGE (1 Viewer)

That should set up for a good final season and a kickoff to a crappy movie. That's my best case scenario at this point, but I will be in to the end.Great concept and show, but terrible highs and lows throughout. I'm afraid, when all is said and done, you could show someone 7 episodes out of this series, then show them the rest, and no one would complain aobut missing key moments in Entourage history. Most likely people would be complaining you subjected them to the rest of it after seeing the best. Tonight's episode would be in the running for the 7 involved.Oh, if you were to limit episodes, a montague of Arie and Lloyd would pretty much guarantee not one would complain about missing the rest of the seasons provided you only showed that and the 7 episodes. Yes, of course they'd complain if you showed them the 7 greatest and the best of Arie and Lloyd, but they would weep considerably if you showed them the rest.I like Entourage, but the entire series of season could have been shown in a 2 part mini series.Maybe, just maybe, I'd bet over if 7 was the over/under line of actually good episodes in the Entourage series, but I'd probably panic about the bet. There are a few great episode, and plenty of almost good episodes, but I think we could argue it under 7 on "actually good" episodes.

Yeah, Ari's wife comes off as a real #####. She's basically leaving him because he's mean to other people and that's embarrassing for her.If you're embarrassed, then just stay in your 5 million dollar house wearing your 5000 dollar shoes and watch oprah all day

Or you go the other way and basically tell people - yeah, he's mine. Either way the wife who doesn't like husband's money or attitude toward success character is stupid. It's never been a tool in a story that worked with me at least. All he character is now is a drag on probably the best character on the show.So, she leaves him because he yelled at a woman - business rival no less, who did gut him even if she didn't actually send the envelope to the press - it was her plan that started the ball rolling. It cost him a massive amount of money and success. And even in the previous episodes she's yelling at him for missing a parent teacher day while he's making sure his business doesn't suffer from doing what she wanted him to do and firing his best agent just because she was just as hot as her. It's just a bad character all around and she's lucky she has the body she does or she wouldn't have a single redeeming quality.Similarly - why is everyone in the hospital for Vince not pissed at Sasha? She was basically the fuse in the whoel Vince explosion. And none of them sit back and think maybe the car accident from the beginning - as mild as it was - may be eating at him? Are they all collectively that dumb?The show should be formulaic and simple - Vince gets hot chicks in new models every week. Eric has his hot chick and cleans up Vince's funny little messes. Ari and Lloyd do their angry Abbot and Costello and Drama is the butt of jokes, with Tutle getting one scene every now and then as the black sheep of the group. Rinse, repeat. Maybe have a small run in with the law every now and then for something different. Heck, I'd be happy if most of the show was Bob Sagat in E's office complaining about his job and the fact that his latest sexcapade wasn't broadcast on NBC.

We could be on the same page any more. :goodposting: :goodposting: :goodposting:
 
My prediction for next season (not how I would see it end, but how I think it will): all the main characters have their worlds crumble around them - Vince (drugs, loss of top tier status), Ari (family and business fall apart), Turtle (loses out on Tequila and girl), E (blows up vs. fiancee and business), Drama (?). By the end of the season, they strive to find what they used to have in the "glory days" and get back to their roots of friendship and carefree partying - which sets up the ensuing movie to get a fresh start as if nothing really happened in the series.

I think next season is everything getting somewhat good again, ends with a triumphant return, and the movie is basically just a dopey, cameo-filled "victory" lap with only minor problems.Why the #### do we watch this ####?
 
Watching one of the old Aqua Man episodes on WGN where Drama bashes the guy's car with a golf club. :thumbup: This was definitely the best season. I hate to think the series is ending this season. :(

 
One of my favorate episodes was when Drama locked down Ken all day for a massage when they went to Vegas. That episode was so funny.

More depressing ####? What happened to the Entourage I loved??? :wall: :cry: :cry:

I was happy when this episode ended. Drama was pretty irritating, he is my favorate of the group, but he was lousy tonight. Hopefully it will get better. I guess it is going to be real hard to entertain us now that the boys cannot party like they use to.
 
I did not enjoy this episode. Very little witty or memorable dialogue. They've also managed to make me hate both Vince and Eric's characters for the first time in the series.

I've also always hated that Entourage is thirty minutes. It barely gives the show enough time to get off the ground. They were forced to breeze through some things that probably should have been further developed.

Maybe I'm just being hopeful, but they've gone scorched earth and cleared all wives, flings, and gfs. No more annoying Sasha Grey or Turtle's J.Lo wanna be. Sloan's hot but replacable and even Ari's going to get in on the action. They've cleared the way for a no strings attached, bender season if they do this right. If the writers are smart, they'll avoid any post break-up drama and let the boys have one last crack at some unadultered debauchery.

 
How to know your TV show is toast:

"With guest star Andrew Dice Clay."

Appearances by Carrot Top and David Hasselhoff should just about seal the deal now.

 
Tonight's episode was not bad. Few laughs. Arie's wife has always been "Hollywood" skinny but it's getting so extreme it's a distraction.

 
Slightly better this week.

I love that they are bringing back the traditional abusive and hilarious Ari/Lloyd relationship. I also liked that Turtle had to wear the Knicks throwback gear due to the fire. Drama asking him if it was 2004 was awesome.

Who wants to bet that part of the climax to this season will be E moving back to New York to be with Sloan?

Sounds right to me.
 
There will be an Entourage movie, as prophesied in the long ago

Vincent Chase's circumnavigation of the Hollywood world is nearly complete, as this eighth and final season of Entourage sees him returning home—like a modern Odysseus having escaped from Sasha Grey's coke-pushing Circe, survived his shipwreck on the rocks of whatever that ####ty-looking Ferrari biopic was, and at last reclaimed his rightful throne, where he can finally see some breasts again and make a dog movie. But as foretold in 2009, his journey shall not end there—nay, producers Doug Ellin and Mark Wahlberg have sworn, before gods and man and reporters at the show's Television Critics Association panel, that Entourage boldly will go on as a feature-length film, even if Wahlberg himself has to take metaphorical hammer and chisel in hand and pay for it himself. "We're going to do a movie," Ellin avowed in a voice we can only assume resounded like a thunderclap. As quoted by Deadline, Ellin continued, "We're going to do it. The questing is when and how quickly. Hopefully we'll come down with an idea and make it happen."

Naturally, some will assume that this is just a typo, and Ellin actually said "question" instead of "questing," or that he meant "come up with" instead of "come down with." These people are plebeian fools. Ellin and Wahlberg are clearly referring to their quest to scale Mount Olympus and petition the Muses for a premise suitably epic to sustain 90 minutes, like maybe Vince gets a movie job that requires him to go to a tropical island for a while, and then they all go and they have fun together just being friendly bros. And then maybe some celebrities drop by and play ###hole versions of themselves, and in a subplot, Jeremy Piven yells. Unfortunately, we are not the immortal singers of song; to them, we are as the croaking of frogs. But whatever idea Ellin and Wahlberg eventually "come down with," know this: Though for a while it looked as if there may not be an Entourage movie, with things very nearly going completely wrong, it seems as though, at the last possible minute, everything will work out just fine. Let heaven and earth meet in the ritual clinking of imported beer bottles.

A movie like the show, or something like Aquaman starring Vince Chase?
 
:lmao: at Vince breaking out the Whizzanator.

But seriously, when's the last time we saw a naked chick on this show?

They're trying to make the show too deep, it was much better when it was just a bunch of NYC kids ripping it up in hollywood.

Never heard anyone accuse Entourage of trying to be too deep. If anything that's the problem with the show. Just like E said things always end up rosey.

Yeah, look how quick this suicide/piss test storyline wrapped up. They didn't even leave a cliffhanger of will Vince be clean or dirty? did he use the whizzinator or not? The whole storyline is wrapped up and all is well after 30 minutes.
 
what the eff has happened to this show? I cannot think of another show that has done a complete 180 turnaround for the worst as this show has. I keep wanting to pull the plug but since its the last season I will hang on until the bitter end. Whats the deal with 20 minute episodes as well?

I think HBO understood the show was in a downfall several years ago when it started to air the shows at 10:30, instead of the 10:00 time slot.
 
What started out as a bad season after the first episode has turned into a great season. Really enjoyed every episode since then. Fantastic move bringing Walsh back. Love that guy. :thumbup: :hifive:

They couldn't stay with same storyline for eight years. Something different had to be done. I'm ok with it myself, although I hated last season. :shrug:
