Running "Entourage" thread

Feel free to delete this if there is another one on here somewhere but I couldn't find one so there you go.

Thoughts on the season premiere?

Personally, I like the developing story lines.

 

Mundane and rather ordinary first episode. Feels all too familiar.

 

I thought it was amazing, and the last scene was very poignant. Love where they're taking the characters after one episode, but I hope they move quickly into E's developing career.

 

Kudos to the writers for not taking the easy way out; it would have been lazy writing for Vincent to get arrested for DUI or wreck the Escalade during his first night out as a licensed driver. Mrs. Lino and I had braced ourselves for that cliche.

 

Vince is back.
Yippee.
The one interesting thing is Vince pulled a 180 when Ari had a shot at the big time.
I wonder if that will be part of the show as Vince tugs Turtle and the rest back into his orbit as they try to go off on their own.

 

I have enjoyed the show from the beginning, and thought this season's start was fairly seamless. But therein lies the problem: It's getting too familiar and a little stale. Not as stale as the incredibly dated Cripin Glover-wigs-out reference, but still bland. Hopefully, it'll pick up. Otherwise, it's going to start to really feel as though they're just padding out the series to reach the syndication requirement.

 

Turtle's lost weight.

 

If you're actually dating Jamie-Lyn Sigler I think eating food would be about 99th on the list of things to do each day.

I'm glad I just catch them when they come out on DVD. I can burn through a season in two nights. It's a good show, love the celeb cameos, but the characters have been spinning their wheels for six years.

 

Damn. Has it already been six years? Really? It doesn't feel like the show's been on that long already.

 

Interesting start. Love that they're ditching the "what will Vince do next" storyline. Enjoyed that three of the four are moving on, but the rich famous one is trying to stay put.

 

I thought that, too. So are we to take it, then, that Vince is a movie star now who is going to keep getting jobs? I hope so.

 

I really like that they brought back Gary Cole's character. Thoughts?
