I don't think Vince is gonna be screwed out of Medellin. It was setup to great last episode with Paul Haggis hanging with his boys. If you ask me, I think Vince will get nominated for his role in the flick.

I think the friend was Malin Akerman.

She was in Harold & Kumar (Freakshow's wife) and the Lisa Kudrow show.

The best line of the show goes to Ari when instructing his staff to find Drama a job:

I don't care if it's a porn shoot where he is being gang banged by a gaggle of silver back apes.

E's bedroom antics aside, the golden boys didn't *do* anything this episode. Vinnie's storyline was Not Capitulating. Drama's storyline was Not Letting Ari Talk to Vince. Turtle, well, his storyline was Not Anything - he didn't do shit. The better episodes spread the action around to the whole crew.

Great epi. Can't wait for the payoff; this episode sets up a lot of stuff coming.

Loved:
- Drama's new headshots (with the Apple logo)
- Drama on 'The Godfather'
- Sloan (Emmanuelle Chriqui) looking even hotter than last year
- The look on Ari's staff' faces when tasked with finding Drama a job today
- Next week's preview: It looks like Ari enlists Terence's help to get Aquaman II back on-track
- Eric's pre-trist nervousness and then his accidental spooning with Malin Akerman

"- Next week's preview: It looks like Ari enlists Terence's help to get Aquaman II back on-track"

I actually interpreted that scene in the preview as..."Terence comes looking for Ari about why he won't be getting paid for Aquaman II & III"

Either way, an intriguing storyline, knowing how they hate each other.

I thought Ari was lying to Vince about Benicio getting offered Medellin, to ease Vince into doing A2.

Yup it's Malin Akerman and she was also in an episode of Love Monkey last year too. Played Kira... wasn't that the artist Tom dated but left to go on tour and dumped him?

What is the name of the song at the ending credits? I can't find it anywhere and HBO hasn't posted it yet...

I'm anticipating, if not next week, maybe the week after we have some sort of Tom Cruise-calibre PR-diaster for Vinny that Shauna is unable to prevent. Perhaps the studio leaks that Vince broke his contract because he's too busy doing coke with Paris Hilton or something. Why? Because she is in the hospital, giving birth. This will generate a hilarious moment where Ari Gold storms into her hospital room while she's doing that whole puff-puff-give birth thing I don't know anything about, and berates her for not doing her job. It'll be a classic Ari and Shauna moment. I can't wait.

My favorite part was Vinnie's casual discussion of the various kinds of threesomes and their emotional configurations - with the implication being that he has them all the freakin' time, to the point of having developed a taxonomy and philosophy.

And the call-back to Drama and Turtle's sword-crossing at Sundance.

I'm thinking that Vinnie gets Aquaman back - remember that pre-Spiderman 2 there was word that Topher Grace was replacing Tobey Maguire, either because Tobey wanted too much money or because he hurt himself too badly doing Seabiscuit.

My favorite line of the night was when Ari said Vince would be sued for everything he had and he may lose Trutle too, and when Vince leaves and Ari asks for the Eric Turtle offers him a toke on the joint.

Its funny no one has mentioned that this whole A2 thing mirrors what really happened to Tobey Maguire for Spider-Man 2...and what really sent it home was that Ari tells E that Jake Gyllenhal will be Aquaman...just what the rumors of Tobey's replacement was going to be...so I can pretty much guess that like SM2, Vince will come to terms with Alan and they will move ahead on SM2 and still do the Haggis movie...I like poster #1's idea of winning an Oscar for it - that would really put Vince and the gang into a new world.

Have to publicly say that Entourage is the best sitcom show since Seinfeld.

Entourage's success hinge on the fact that the characters are reaching for goals and struggling with challenges. Lose this and my favorite show tanks.

If Turtle's recent luck is any indicator, these four will be boring LA transplants with assinine issues that make getting calves seem like a question worth pondering.

I hope Saigon isn't the street smart, soft spoken, talented rapper with strong family roots and a great work ethic (so Turtle can continue to be house manager)

I hope Drama doesn't get the role with the Spanish Spielburg.

I hope Eric loses Sloan so he can pine after whiney fat girls that cheat on him.

I hope Vince lands a mini-series doing Kung foo on top of Bai-ling with Tarantino directing the A.D.'s.

It's official: the show has screwed me for the last time. Not only has the season been subpar at best, with medicore dialogue, a dead-end story line, and consistent butt-shots of Dom the Impaler, but now they have to go and ruin any chance that I will have a threesome with my girlfriend and one of her friends -- or anyone, for that matter.

E falls in love with Sloane's friend after one night in the sac???? How am I ever going to suspend her disbelief long enough to convince her to give it a try? And even if I am able to pull that off, now she's convinced that there's some sort of rulebook that exists about threesome sex. Give me a Fucking break!

I hate you Entourage.

You've robbed me of my god-given-sexual right.

Hi, we were on vacation and missed this episode...if anyone taped it, can you please respond to this post. I'd like to get a copy from you.

I agree that this episode was a little one dimensional with a lot of focus on E, but I like all of these characters so well that I really don't care. I do hope they continue to spread around the action and avoid too much of this going forward. Ari is the MAN, glad to see JPiven get his teeth into such a great character and to be able to spew his venom so potently on HBO. I just wish these were 1 hour shows!
