Also I don’t think many people have mentioned, that this final episode of Season 6 was dedicated to June Florence Ellin, born in 1936, who I only assume must be Doug Ellin’s mother. What a great gesture. Condolences from all of us Entourage Fans to you Doug!

Season Finale: Season 6, Episode 12 ‘Give a Little Bit’
With over 2.5 million viewers, this episode was a winner

Now that wasn’t entirely a surprise, the last two episodes have been nothing but the Entourage that we all fell in love with. It’s just further proof that they were fuckin’ great eps.

Entourage ended its sixth season on a high note, drawing 2.5 million viewers, up 21% when compared with last season’s finale, and 3 million viewers overall when combined with the 11:45 p.m. re-airing.

This will surely gain much support from HBO, and hopefully for a great Season 7. I know we’d all love a whole season devoted to Vincent’s shoot in Italy for ‘Enzo: The Movie’, but I’m not so sure that would happen, hopefully they’d give us a few episodes. It could almost be a homage to ‘The Godfather’ when Michael Corleone goes to Italy, and finds his Italian lover, maybe the same could happen to Vincent Chase?

Was that really an Entourage season finale? It was so… good.

TVSquad.com had quite a positive review, saying that Entourage really should have ‘double-length installments more often’, I didn’t even realize it was a longer episode, only by about 10 minutes. Not really a ‘double-installment’ in my books.

Overall, the episode was epic and I give it 5 Hot Chicks Out of 5

One of our competing blogs at tvfodder.com rated this episode a 5 out of 5. Janaki also mentions about Matt Damon’s post-credit appearance, which I totally forgot about in my previous post – “Make sure you stay till the end credits are over for some hysterical moments with Matt”. It is definitely worth it so check out.

Episode 12 ‘Give a Little Bit’ was rated 9.6/10, Superb!

Out of the three community reviews on TV.com, the general consensus was perfectly quoted by user 24treehills: “Good finale to a not so good season…” and with a rating of 9.6 out of 10, I’d say it was a hit.

Time for the usual Doug Ellin’s Inside-the-episode to sum up this recap:

And if you still want more on this episode, I’ll be posting up the location credits soon, so stayed tuned and refresh soon.

The Chase Bros say good bye to the engaged – E and Sloan.
Season Finale Episode 12 ‘Give a Little Bit’

The tussle for turf and clash of ego’s between Ari Gold and Terrence McQuewick was entertaining plus, Ari was just unstoppable, poor Barbara (Beverly D’Angelo). I can’t believe Ari Gold apologized to Lloyd, I thought it would never happen, but I think it was highly necessary. Perrey Reeves appearance was the bomb too, personally wish she was more involved in the show. I wonder if Terrance (Malcolm Mcdowell) will be back, it would be great if he still had one eye on Ari’s company next season, imagine if he gave Ari the shits and dropped in on him every now and then.
How good was Ari’s paintball gun firing scene! That would’ve been so fuckin’ satisfying to do.

While that was happening Turtle had his non-existent fling with UCLA Chick, which was mega-disappointing. I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of her next season though. As for Jamie-Lynn Sigler, it will be sad to see her leave (say hello New Zealand!), but maybe she’ll be back in Season 8?! But will Turtle be interested then? For all those waiting to find out who the UCLA Chick is, the actor that plays her is Jana Kramer, which I’m pretty sure I mentioned in one of my previous posts, but thought I’d put in here for good measure.

The biggest shock, came from E with his proposal to Sloan. What I loved about this was the fact that it happened while they were kind of fighting, and not the cliche at the restaurant on bended knee. That was E being one smooth mother fucker.

Sloan is definitely a keeper, and now that E is back with her I can imagine we’ll be seeing a lot more of her and her booty. She was shmokin’ in that white get-up at the airport. More screen time for her please.

Matt Damon as previously mentioned was one intense mofo, definitely ‘Jason Bourne-d’ everyone. And let’s not forget the King LeBron James, I almost feel sorry for him, he should have had a few more lines, but it was great that he was on. A living legend. And let’s not forget Bono’s Web cam appearance, fuckin’ classic!

Episode 12 promised to be big, and it was, I loved it, but I still didn’t think it was as good as the last episode. It certainly wasn’t my favorite this season. But it was good and I really enjoyed it. And with another season over, I think it is great that I don’t have the feeling that Entourage will end next season. To be honest I give it at least 2 more seasons…let’s hope it can reach 10 with a good storyline. Enjoy.

I’m not going to say much this time, except for the fact I’ll be more excited for Season 7 than ever before once Episode 12 ‘Give a little bit’ airs. Also here’s a little bit of a spoiler in terms of the storyline for this episode – if you are tempted:

Eric plans on getting back Sloan, as he promised in Episode 12, so he books a special lunch, but it doesn’t go as smoothly as he hoped. Ari Gold tries to convince his wife that buying Terrence’s company TMA is not a personal vendetta. Meanwhile, after repeated attempts to get over Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Turtle decides to make a grand gesture to be with her, but does this mean marriage? And will Jamie-Lynn accept?; Johnny Drama, turns down a chance to re-audition for Melrose 2009, although he does go, he has a few choice words to say to the producers; and Matt Damon, with help from LeBron James, get Vince involved in Matt Damon’s charity onexone.org.

This coincides with Matt Damon’s upcoming appearance on the show. This has to be the Entourage viral video of the year, it’s absolutely fuckin’ hilarious, I think we should prepare ourselves for what should be the best episode this season, especially since tonight’s episode was Entourage back to it’s very best. And Matt Damon is an absolute quality actor, and judging by that viral, he will be an immense character in the final episode.

‘Amongst Friends’
Season 6, Episode 2 Preview

A revealing interview with Entourage’s creator Doug Ellin has just been published by THR, interesting to note in relation to this episode is about the ongoing theme of friendship and as he says:

This year I’m going to focus less on the movie-star life and more on the surrounding guys and how their stuff may not work out.

It would be safe to say, Vince’s career will probably sky-rocket this season, and maybe the other guys will suffer a la Vinnie last season. “Amongst Friends” will unquestionably be the episode that sets the tone for the rest of this season.

And there’s also an interview that has a few revealing words on this season’s finale with Kevin Connolly saying:

Doug wrote a scene where we’re all at the airport together. Matt was all smiles. He was definitely there to have fun.

Us Magazine.com has the scoop on this, with Matt Damon (and his charity, One By One) added to the list of celebrity appearances this season, combined with LeBron James, whom both will appear at an “airport scene” in the final episode. And in other news Adrian Grenier is apparently back with his Transformer-star girlfriend — Isabel Lucas. While Kevin Connolly is looking for ‘the one’, in an intriguing look into his own life (apparently dating Nicky Hilton! and directing The Game’s new music video) thanks to USA Today.
