Entourage: Let's Blog It Out

season 5 is really bad

Tonight's Entourage told me that you gotta look up to get down!

Always a big fan of double meanings, I had struggled to understand the title going into this episode.
But, the meaning is no longer a thing of mystery after watching tonight.

Tonight's episode was all about two things- getting down to business and getting down and dirty.

Now, it is still unclear what Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven) was looking up at, but there is no doubt when it came to
Eric Murphy (Kevin Connolly).

So, fellow Entourage fans, help me out. Was it that Ari Gold had to look up at his potential new career as a studio head to get down to business. Or, did it get him down to think that we would be leaving his clients behind?

And, what of Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier), throwing away another million dollars in today's economy? I'm glad he has principles and everything, but don't ask me tonight what I might do if I were him and had a chance at his paydays. All because he was interested in a girl.

Help me, my friends.

Was I pleased to see Vincent turning down a lovely model, because he had a "connection" with Natasha? I guess.

Was it nice to see E pursued for a change? Sure. And, it was amusing to see Connolly's facial expressions.

Was it sad to see Ari so concerned about Vince, that he considered turning down the offer? Maybe.

Maybe the title really means that I gotta look up at the bright side of things. In the end, Doug Ellin delivered for his most ardent male fans- an episode filled with supermodels and a fantasy trip to Hawaii on a private jet.

For the ladies it was nice to see Ari have to explain Dana Gordon (Constance Zimmer) to his wife (Perry Reeves). Who knew Ari never discussed Dana at home? How many other women have had this discussion with their significant other? And, visa versa, I am sure. It is very common to have a "work wife" or "work husband". What does it mean that Ari kept his a secret? Interesting.

This is one episode I'm gonna have to look up all week to get down to the heart of the matter.

Thoughts?

I've got a gut feeling that Ari won't take the studio head job. I absolutely loved the scene with him and Vince at the airport, and how about the straight guy who just likes to...I'm not sure if I can say that on here, lol.

The best one liner of the season so far is easily turtle in the first couple of episodes when he wants to go to the Villa with anyone that would go. When he gets turned down from E, Vinny, and Drama he says "I'll just catch a beat"

Ari's one liners this year are a little overdrawn, still good but yea not quality like the previous years.

Anyone else getting annoyed with Drama? He's actin like a d-bag

This last episode was the best so far as for leaving it "up in the air" for next week. Ari is lookin up and out for his family when thinking about taking the head studio position. I cant help to think he's gonna get screwed over since he's done the same to everyone else. Its too good to be true.

You could see Ari contemplate getting on the jet, it was almost a goodbye to the gang.

E is movin up and taking Ari's position, he's earned a lot of respect from the entertainment industry.

Vinny needs to stop lookin for love and take a job

Vince will get Smoke Jumpers before season's end. Especially if Ari gets Allan's old job. But even if he doesn't, I'm willing to bet Vince will get that No. 2 role.

My bet's on Dana Gordon getting the job via Ari's help and repaying him by looking at Vince favorably from now on (aka putting him in Smoke Jumpers). No way Ari would abandon Vince- this would set about huge changes in the dynamics of their relationship. Either Ari doesn't take it, or takes it and loses it shortly after.

I think ari gets it this week, sorry. I love Turtle and think he always has great one-liners and such, but come on. Ari, Dana Gordon you're on speaker and my wife is in the car. Great, and then the exchange with Mrs. Ari and him in the car after the call. c'mom.

You know as much as i love Ari Gold, i think it is time for him to move on to the bigger job, plus i think i know who they can make the new super agent over at miller-gold, i think it should either be between E or Loydd, and as for vince well i think he needs to be happy for Ari and he needs to look at the bigger picture like Ari said he can now have any picture role he wants for the rest of his life and to be honest aiint nothing wrong with that, during the 40's and 30's they always contracted the stars of the time to one film studio and made them do all the movies they could, so i can not imagne ari turning down the job and vince not backing him 100% plus we all know Dana Gordan will be the #2 person in charge next to Ari
let me tell it was great having E being chased around for the first time this was a great episode,

I was surprised at the end to see the model actually did want E for more than his talent manager skills. That scene in the hotel room was funny as hell.

don't agree with this BPL. My preferred one-liner this week was "I got a second dick that is straight !"

Michael that line isn't printable I dont think.

too bad it has to be printable...cause Ari and Lloyd's exchange about if he was hiding something from him was an award winner. i almost spit out my special k red berries.
