Anyway what do y’all reckon, was episode 11 the best this season?! Or was Episode 4 ‘Running on E’ the one? Vote now:

Further Twitter reviews by you:

On a rather random note: One character I’ve been severely missing is Billy Walsh (played by Rhys Coiro), and his last appearance was in The Cannes Kids way back in 2007, and I think we’d all love him to return next season. Maybe we’ll have to do a little recap of Billy Walsh one of these days.

Make sure you catch the Episode 9 ‘Security Briefs’ Preview and remember because it’s the Labor Day Holiday, you’ll have to wait that little bit longer for the next Entourage episode.

In Episode 8, Ari has to deal with Andrew Klein’s domestic disturbances again while under the watchful eye of Babs (Barbara Miller played by Beverly D’Angelo) while Vincent and the boys consider getting a whole security system, and this was really a side story to Ari Gold’s problem of Andrew Klein trying to secure their services for Aaron Sorkin.

While that was happening, we got to see Eric’s assistant Brittany again and what a beautiful sight it was to see, why not let them get together! Instead we got Ashley (who not many people rate) returning and Sloan (the rated one!) trying to get him back. I actually like how E screws the ‘friendly cocktails’ with Sloan and decides to go back to his ex. Albeit I don’t love Ashley as much as Sloan, but E’s fuckin’ cool for being decisive for a change, plus he’s getting some at the end of the day. Ashley is someone I’m still not 100% convinced by but for some reason or another, she’s beginning to be a bit more likable.

Not so sure about Andrew Klein, the pathetic one, when will this ever end? Since Andrew Klein is in the big house, maybe it has? Will this be the time Lizzie Grant will gain some attention of her own? She has fuckin’ great potential to become a super agent like Ari, especially when she stands up to the mighty Ari Gold – definitely a turn on. And of course let’s not forget this episode guest starred Aaron Sorkin. He was fuckin’ funny, especially when he threw down the hate for Ari and Babs as soon as they entered the conference room.

Episode 8 ‘The Sorkin Notes’

When the Security team that Vincent pretty much decides to hire discover a driver’s license belonging to a Wisconsin Carrot-Top that goes by the name ‘Curtis Tucker’, we understand their paranoia, he looked like a fuckin’ psychopath. Unfortunately we’re going to have to have a little break from this season next weekend because of the holiday so we’ll have to wait for Drama to unleash his fury on the psychopath one more week, so I’ll leave you with the pick of the twitter reviews (twiviews) and the music from Entourage Episode 8 which was in abundance this time ’round. And hopefully some new Entourage-related videos will pop up in the mean time. Peace.

The ‘Twiviews’:

The music:

• “Nightclubbing” by Grace Jones
  [Ari finds Andrew on his office couch]
• “The Milkman” by Eric Hachikian
  [Andrew leaves Ari's office, while boys talk Security]
• “Live Fast Die Young” by The Circle Jerks
  [Drama Security Drills]
• “Black Sea” by Testo
  [Phone Talk: Sloan+Eric]
• “4-23″ by Aqua
  [Cocktails with Sloan or Sex with Ashley?]
• “Addictive” by Cut Chemist
  [E sees Sloan while phone talk with Ashley]
• “E.I.” by Nelly
  [Ari and Aaron Sorkin visiting Andrew Klein in Jail]
• “Bang” by Rye Rye featuring MIA
  [E and Ashley warm up]
• “Sunrise” by Yeasayer
  [End Credits]

Are you excited by what he just said? I’m definitely fuckin’ excited. Maybe that’s the reason why they kept Ari Gold to a minimum last episode.

So to whet your appetite even more, make sure you take a look at the Episode 8 ‘The Sorkin Notes’ Preview, if you haven’t already of course.

Let’s go out on a whim, and let me know what you think in the poll below.

UPDATE 29/08/09: I seem to have missed Jamie Lynn-Sigler’s tweet about ‘The Sorkin Notes’:

I think this episode has massive potential to be the best!

TVFodder.com’s Janaki Cedanna has review that’s longer than the script for the entire episode (possibly for people who haven’t watched the episode?!) and he reckons:

…this episode of Entourage is the best one all season.

Now I don’t know about you, but I can’t agree with that at all, for reasons outlined in my own review and above.

Not sure about DaemonsTV review, more of a recap than anything else. Jeremy Singer from andPOP.com has a review that is in total agreement with my own thoughts, as he goes on to say:

…this was a weak episode. Probably the weakest this season.

Jeremy also points out that without Ari Gold’s presence the show loses a lot of elements that make it such an appealing show, I’d even go on to say that even the scene that Ari was in was a bit out of touch, would Ari Gold really be over at Vince’s house because of a possible break-in? Don’t think so. Even Michael at the ‘Entourage the blog’ has gripes about there being not much Ari Gold.

And to round-up the reviews, IGN’s Ahsan Haque rates this episode 9.3 out of 10. What did you rate it?

It took seven episodes for Jeremy Piven to have one scene in an entire episode. I don’t even remember when the last time Ari Gold had such a small part. Wish it wasn’t the way, but it pretty much happens in almost every series. We will welcome another jam-packed Ari Gold episode soon!

Drama is about to be tortured.
Episode 7 ‘No More Drama’

Eric ‘E’ Murphy, looked a bit more cooler this week, without the likes of Ashley and him hanging around his office at the Murphy Group. His new colleague Scotty (played by Scott Caan), was such an annoying fuck, he definitely made E look good. And I loved that, hopefully the rivalry between them will grow as I think we’d all want to see a bare knuckle fight or two between them. Perhaps we will see Scotty start to tune Sloan, or maybe Scotty could hire Seth Green?! Now I’m starting to become one mischievous fuck. Oh and let’s not forget E’s possible assistant, Kate Mara, another beautiful woman on Entourage.

Bob Saget and Murray Berenson (played by George Segal) are two class acts and they seriously stole the show this episode. There are two quotes that reach the ‘best of’ for this episode, one has to go to George’s character Murray saying the following to E as he leaves his office:

“Maybe tomorrow you could go get Christian Bale?
And we could let him execute a cinematographer if he wants.”
Murray Berenson

The other goes to Bob Saget ofcourse:

“That’s just what I want to look at when I’m sniffing a line of blow off her ass. Your fuckin’ face.”
Bob Saget

Overall, another great fuckin’ episode, I still can’t forget about Bob Saget (and his hot girl! who is she? Katerina Van Derham) and Murray, they were fuckin’ funny.
This episode really did seem a bit short?!
HBO, Doug Ellin and your fellow writers, let’s bring the series to an hour an episode. I think us fans really need it to be that long. It just ain’t enough at the moment. Kudos also goes to Vincent’s housemaid ‘Maria’ played by Paulette Lamori, would be cool if she played a sort of motherly role for Vincent.

• “I Get Mine” by The Ettes
  [Vince scopes out the undie burglar]
• “I Can Hear You Calling” by Three Dog Night
  [Drama arrives at the Studio gates]
• “Straight outta Compton” by N.W.A
