Stay Tuned... Entourage Season 8 Episode 2


SPOILERS BELOW

Justin:  So we're a fourth of the way through the final season of Entourage now.  Word to the wise, never cross Ari Gold.  We'll get back to that though.

So far this season seems to be a breath of fresh air compared to last year's.  There's not too much negativity (Vince isn't spiraling out of control), and the negativity there is seems to be bringing out the best traits in their characters that we've sorely missed (the whole crossing Ari Gold thing).  There's been a lot of talk about the boys ending up back in NYC at the end of the show, back where they started.  After Sloan and E hooked back up, she calls him sadly telling him that she's moving to NYC.  Something tells me that this won't be the end of their relationship (even though I hope it's not something that is settled in the much talked about, but unlikely to happen movie).  

When it comes to Vince and Johnny the big thing is getting this mining disaster movie of the week starring Johnny and directed by Vince off the ground.  I really like that Vince took it to Billy Walsh and how Billy explained to him how it was going to hurt to critique it.  I'm not sure how I feel about Andrew Dice Clay trying to get Johnny to walk on the show, I feel like that will come back to haunt them.

Now to the best part of this show, and the whole never cross Ari Gold thing.  Every single male loves Ari Gold and has this desire to emulate him, the only problem is that 98% of all males aren't a high powered Hollywood agent.  He can instantly cuss anyone out and knock everyone down a level, only because he feels that if you can handle it you're a stronger person and he wants you on his team.  While last season this got him into a lot of trouble, we, the viewers, know that Ari's got the biggest heart of any character on this show.  He loves his family to death and will do anything in his power for them, it's what makes him so great.  So when he finds out that his wife might be dating the lowly waiter at her least favorite restaurant in all of LA (thanks to Lloyd's detective work) he does what any man in that situation would do.  He finds out this lowly waiter has an audition to be on Mad Men and has Lloyd get a hold of them and completely ruins this kids career. HA!
 Mrs. Ari shows up at the agency and tells him to fix that problem he created.  Turns out she's not dating him after all.  She's dating the restaurant's chef. Bobby Flay (side note, Ari owns the restaurant).  So what does Ari declare? "Bobby Flay is now my sworn enemy."  One of his best lines (and now one of my favorite quotes).  He instructs his entire office to make a point to ruin his career, hilarious, and noble.  (Bobby Flay is married in real life)
