Like most of you out there, we here at TCNY are huge Entourage fans and have been since it’s first episode back in ‘04. There is absolutely no “bandwagon jumpers” aboard this ship, as a matter of fact, that is our manifesto. Now that the disclaimer is out of the way, let’s discuss this evenings Season 6 finale.
Where do I start, hhmmm… What the fuck?!?!? No seriously, what the fuck… I’m absolutely floored! Let me rephrase my disposition — WHAT THE MOTHERFUCK???!!! We’ve all realized that this season was stitched with a common thread and that the concepts of “change” and “growth” would be prevalent all season long, but not like this!! Don’t get me wrong, I understand the premise of Eric and Sloan getting hitched and moving on with their lives and I genuinely like the idea… but it’s destined for failure!
Now, I know HBO has announced that Season 7 is in the pipeline, but Doug Ellin had better start writing now if he’s going to have this work! Aside from the soon to be newlyweds, we also saw Ari completing his maturation process while agree to put his ill feelings behind him and take over Terrance’s agency, amicably… aside from the little paintball tantrum. Then, we have Drama being offered a leading role and a potential development deal with a major network. Plus, we witnessed an official breakup between Sal and Jamie. Yeah, I’m going to call him Sal from now on, I don’t know why, but I feel it’s appropriate. Anyway, as if all the above wasn’t enough, we’ve now witnessed Lloyd officially becoming an agent and the shameless promotion and emergence of Matt Damon’s charity, One X One. And last but not least, we will eventually come to a crossroads with our main character — Vinny. How is his comeback and return to stardom going to collide with the dismantling of his crew? There is just too much going on here people!!
In closing I want to leave you with this thought — traditionally, this much “change” during a season finale is a great idea for a drama or soap opera, but it rarely works out in a comedy. I wish Mr. Ellin the best of luck and hope he successfully continues with his masterpiece with next summer’s Season 7. Our fingers are crossed…
