Entourage 4/15... spoilers

Ari... wow.... great, great moment

 

Just so so at best this week. The Ari stuff was pretty good (as usual), but absolutely no advancement of anything anywhere. Kind of bored tonight. Not often I say that about this show.

 

Lloyd stuff was great ... loved it when they're meeting with the writer for lunch ... "Here comes the airplane."

 

"Remind me to never get on your bad side, Lloyd."

"Ari Gold, you never could."

Those two saved an otherwise pedestrian episode.

 

The fewer scenes with Vince, the better the episode.

 

If the relationship of Sloan and E becomes some sort of big deal...ugh, that'll be a big step back. I did enjoy all the stuff with Ari and Lloyd, as usual.

 

I think Sloan is an underrated character in the show. That little half-smile she did after telling E he's not getting laid on the trip was brilliant. I see the relationship as a good thing, because E always has to balance "growing up" with being part of the entourage.

 

I love the casual smoking of weed. OTOH: Drama has a horny dufus is past old.

 

I loved everything about Ari going to save Lloyd.

And Drama watching American Pie's blowjob scene right after he just missed out on one? Very, very funny.

 

And Ari's classic line in the gay bar, "Civlilian coming through, hands off". (close enough, anyway)

 

Fantastic stuff.

Much like the TWOP gang devised a Seconds To Robe scale for the Sopranos (the shorter the time from the end of the opening credits to Tony appearing in his robe, the better the episode) Entourage deserves a Seconds to Lloyd scale.

And, honestly, who ares about plot in this show? Does anyone really care about how Vinnie's career ends up? Fuck no.

Just give me plenty of Ari and Lloyd, and I'm a happy camper.

 

Some occasional female nudity wouldn't hurt. It's HBO, for fuck's sake. And we've seen more male chest than female.
