Because of Entourage, I'd be going to see a real life Aquaman...if only to see what happened when Vince dived into the ocean against the tidal wave before the blackout stopped the film.

I dug this week's episode. Beverly D'Angelo is great.

Everything is turning up crap for our boys this season.

up and down... up and down... that's how the season goes - or did no one get the obvious (yet, still effective) metaphor of the rollercoaster plunge in the 3rd episode or in all of the commercials for this thing?

Yeah, I hope they actually end the season on a downer instead of having everything go wrong just to come out on top in the end. Otherwise I think the show will get boring.

That was a great episode...

Drama is so crazy, but so funny.

Loved the end with the fight.

So the next 3 eps will air the next three weeks. Then the show goes on hiatus until the final 8 episodes, which will air with the final 8 Sopranos eps.

No, just this season (20 eps). It's coming back for a fourth as far as I know.

Wow, that really scared me for a second. The most recent ep. was great. "Mad Dog" E vs. Seth Green. I watched it again tonight, yeah you guessed it.

I havent read most of the this thread because I never watched Entourage, but this weekend I caught a few episodes and I really liked them.

I will have to play some catch up, but hopefully I can get going with the newest season. Fun show.

wow - no comments on tonight's Entourage? I thought it was the best episode of the season, if not the series.

And you are? Not for sale.

Drama - classic.

Honestly it seemed contrived to get to the clifhanger ending. It lacked the humor that many of the other episodes have had.

Oh and Turtle's character is officially stale.

It was a great episode, all the way around.

The same night Ari won an Emmy he was fired = classic.

What made it so great? Was it the lame identical agent presentations to force a contrived ending?

Was it that Ari spent the whole episode selling his soul to keep his client but then said the smarmiest and most unrealistic "sorry" ever?

Was it Turtle adding nothing to the show for like the 5th straight episode? Oh wait, he did yet again fail at getting a woman's phone number once he was told that they all loved to screw.

Every show Jumps the Shark and this episode was it.

A cliff-hanger ending. The problem is that we all know that Vince will get back with Ari. Ari makes that show and it can't be done without him. So I wish they could have gone a different direction to lead up to next season. Turtle is weak, but that's expected. Vince bothered me this season for some reason. Probably for the same reasons he bothered me last season with his persuit of Mandy Moore. He's just kind of a bitch. Oh and that old man Bob pissed me off too. I still thought it was a good season, but I wish they would have done something completely different to lead into the next one. It's too predictable.

I agree. I hate endings like that. As you say, everyone knows that Ari will be back so there is no real drama there.

Sorry Chris - if you work in the industry, you'd know NOTHING about the "identical presentations" was contrived at all. It's all the same BS everywhere you go - that's what made the episode classic.

That and Drama and not going for the nice wrap it up little ending that both of the last two seasons had.

Classic episode - I can't wait to see next season to try and see how Ari will try to get Vinne back or better yet, to get back at Vinnie for leaving him. This is a show with teeth. They have the meteoric rise of the superstar and now the complete downfall - a lot of shows don't have the balls to do that.

You're nuts, this was a great episode...the presentations were probably dead-on to the industry and I thought it was hilarious.

Loved this season.

Yeah, I was pleasantly suprised when they didn't follow the same plot as the past 2 years.

Now I only hope that Ari doesn't get Vince back(atleast for a couple years) otherwise it will take a bit away from this episode. How great would it be to see Vince go back to Ari's old agency.
