The third season of Entourage ended last night, just two months after it returned and two weeks shy of its… return. I don’t really know what’s going on over there, but the half-season we just got felt a whole lot like filler.
Last summer’s cliffhanger (of sorts) saw the boys dumping Ari as Vince’s manager, and these extra eight episodes were meant to facilitate his redemption. And all of that happened – four episodes ago. Though there were a few funny episodes along the way (Johnny Drama’s bad reviews), the last batch has been particularly. Not only has nothing happened, but Ari seemed to disappear right when he was let back in the fold. If it’s at all possible to make demands of a season that’s likely already been completed, I would like more Ari and E, some love for Turtle and a reversal in Hollywood dominance between the Chase brothers.
Entourage is back on June 17th, and I, for one, cannot wait to return to a time when conversation isn’t dominated by the pending production of Medellín: The Most Annoying Movie Ever.
I think it’s Medellin: The Most Annoying Movie TITLE Ever. Every time a character says it I get a little twitch in my eye.
The problem with Entourage is nothing ever changes. The characters don’t evolve. I would love to see Drama’s show take off and Vince fail, but I honestly don’t think they have the guts to tell that story. I bet by the end of next season Drama’s show will be a bust and he will be broke again, and Medellin will be a bitch to produce but it will all come out roses in the end for Vince and E just like it always does. It’s frustrating, because the show could be much better but they just don’t try or have the creative vision to get it there.
