Episode 12 “Return to Queens Blvd” Review.

Boy was I wrong about this Season’s Finale. The Return To Queens Blvd, has to be the best episode of the season, and one of my favorites of the entire series.

The boys were back on vacation, much like how the season started. It was nice to see them in their natural habitat – Queens, NY, and seeing their families was a laugh. Generally it seemed like there was a relaxed vibe, although there was a a bit of tension about Vincent’s unemployment, especially when his mom mentions that Gus Van Sant had an opening for a role in a movie Vince got barred on.

Michael Phelps was just one of the many excellent little cameos and general comedic cameos and plot lines that feature in the series. These are but one of the many reasons why we watch and love Entourage. Drama buying up the local bar was another bit, just f**kin’ hilarious!.

But Ari Gold coming to the rescue, and organising the Martin Scorsese film for Vinnie, with the help of Lloyd (and ofcourse the one who got Marty’s attention – Mr. Eric ‘E’ Murphy), now that made my heart flutter. Absolutely beautiful!

And to top it all off, one of the quotes of the series, when Ari compliments E’s ability as Vince’s Manager:

For once in his life the little McNugget delivered.

This episode is a must see, and bode’s well for Vincent Chase’s future, it will be interesting to see if Season 6 includes the making of Martin Scorsese’s Great Gatsby, or will that happen during the break?

What a season, thank you HBO for making my site the featured fan, and for all you fellow fans for visiting my site. Keep checking back, for some odd news bits here and there. And maybe you’ll see an overhauled site soon! THANKS!

Episode 12 “Return To Queens Blvd” Preview

The Final Episode of of Season.
As you know the Return To Queens Blvd, is Season 5’s Finale, will it be the catalyst for next season? I really don’t think it will. Although it look’s like E puts his role on the line while trying to help Vincent out (see HBO’s Episode 12 Preview). Personally I don’t think the final episode has any bearing on how good/bad this season was so I think it will be a cool chillaxed kind of ep.
Season 5 has almost become a bit of a re-introduction to the boys, and their dynamics, I almost think after such a delay, they had to re-introduce the characters a bit. Maybe this even gained new fans?! Also given that there was a writers’ strike earlier this year, I don’t think they had much time to elaborate, and expand the series. That’s why it was quite eventful, yet not deep in plotlines/character building.
This bodes well for the next two seasons, which I think will explode, and be Entourage’s best.

So what did you all think of this season?

Episode 11 “Play’n with Fire” Review

The Penultimate Episode! Thanks for all of you that vented your frustrations at my delay and posted your praises for this episode. If you haven’t, join in the fun and type up something in the comments!
Smokejumpers seems to be finally over for Vincent…or postponed. It seems to me as if they resolved the ongoing feud with Vincent/Verner in rather dramatic fashion, and I’m not really sure how Vinnie is going to come out of all this. This season has definitely been his downfall. While this might be a bit of a downer for all you Vincent Chase fans, I have this feeling he’ll comeback with a bang next season.

Ari was in top form again, being the powerful yet humorous suit that he is. And Turtle’s little fling with Jamie Lynn-Sigler is now more than! Turtle finally getting his way, and adding several notches to his belt was awesome this season, maybe he’ll be the one rescuing Vinnie and the boys next season?
The side story about his real name (Sal, if you must know) was an intriguing one.
E seemed like this confident controlled guy when he stood up for Vinnie. That scene was a great climax to this episode, and the use of Rammstein’s Du Hast was awesome. Rage Against The Machine’s Guerilla Radio was also in there when Ari Gold first receives the news about Vinnie and Smokejumpers, double awesome.

The final episode next week should be an awesome send off for the boys, although there will definitely be a bit more soul searching for Vincent. This season was almost a build up for Season Six, but will it be Vincent’s comeback season?

Episode 8 “First Class Jerk” Review

Ari Gold is officially back to his best! This was the “Ari Gold” episode of the season, and possibly the series so far. After you all voted that the previous episode was the best this season (58%!) I was wondering how this one would compare. And I have to say it did a pretty good job.

Turtle‘s adventure with Jamie Lynn Sigler was classy, he definitely scored points in my book. Jamie Lynn most memorable for playing Meadow Soprano, is one hot woman! And Drama was being his usual self, the character we love to hate at times. Also worth mentioning is Frank Darabont‘s cameo, how cool was that!

Vincent looks like he’s back in the fray with Smoke Jumpers and his career in general, thanks to the one and only Ari Gold. He’s still playing a bit part though. But maybe this episode was the turning point.

Bringing back the sexual tension between Dana Gordon and Ari, that’s more of what we want. Dana Gordon is hot stuff. I can almost see a little cat fight occuring between three of Ari’s most powerful women : Mrs. Gold, Amanda and Dana. Something to definitely look out for! Time for you to vote again! Who’s your favorite woman?
