Episode 4 ‘Running On E’ Review

Ads by Google

Yeah baby, we got boobies! And I have to say this would have to be the best episode of the season, and up in my top ten…ehem…not just because of the boobs, but they were mos def beautiful.

This is the first episode directed by Ken Whittingham this season, so whether there was a difference because of him? I don’t know, but it sure was the best this season. With Vincent Chase again taking a bit of a back seat because his Enzo movie being delayed by 12 weeks, an extended vacation ensues. He tries his best to get E, Turtle and Drama to join him, but ends up with no one, albeit for a few hours till Eric decides to pull the plug on his business – The Murphy Group. This was disappointing, but does it really mean the end of E’s Murphy Group? Or just the office it was residing in? It would be a shame for E and Entourage to lose the Charlie storyline, as it was quite cool to have another up-and-coming star in the midst.


Ari Gold was trying to handle a barrage of situations from all sides, it was an Ari juggling act.. under pressure Ari is when he is at his best! Dealing with Andrew Klein was great, but even better was his face off with Andrew’s lover — Lizzie Grant, the junior agent at the Miller Gold Agency (played by Autumn Reeser). Damn girl, she’s one tough women! Is she a future threat to Ari?

The music featured was way fuckin’ cool, especially if you caught the tunes of Daft Punk, and the new crew Empire Of The Sun — Check out their awesome video clip above. Awesome job, music people! Here’s the list:

  • “Easin’ In” by Edwin Starr
    [E bored at the Murphy Group]
  • “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop” by Young Gunz
    [E getting it on with Ashley, Drama with the models]
  • “Black Flag” by Duchess Says
    [Ari finds Andrew Klein balling]
  • “Something About Us” by Daft Punk [Boys reminiscing the day]
  • “Standing on the Shore” by Empire of the Sun
    [Final Scene]


Vincent Chase going on Facebook and stalkin’ his old classmates (Kimberley Kirsch?!)was classic. E announcing his relationship with Ashley being ‘serious’ was another predictable disappointment. Turtle getting dressed up by Jamie-Lynn was vomitus, but funny at the same time — the usual thing to do when you have a girlfriend. And how about David Schwimmer? Not the dorkus he usually is aye? He was after Lizzie, and that was more of classic Entourage. And how can we miss Johnny Drama’s casting with all those fuckin’ hot models! And when Ed Burns mentions how Drama has 25 takes with one of them, that was incredibly hilarious. There was also a bit of Mrs. Gold in there for good measure. All the ingredients and reasons why we love Entourage and why this episode was so good. We want more! …How did you rate it?

Episode 2 ‘Amongst Friends’ Review

The second episode really kicked off season six, showing us what this season will be all about. The true star Vincent Chase, classic Ari Gold and the boys and their dilemmas and a most welcome back to Mrs. Ari Gold (Perrey Reeves) — although her sexy ass was featured last week.

Eric was in his usual spin with the girls (usual for season six so far, a trend perhaps), and this episode definitely showed off his own skills with the ladies, or lack there of, and it was complete with awkward situations. And even though awkward E should really chase Sloan, she was absolutely stunning at the premiere, but he should definitely hold on to his neighbor, Ashley (played by Alexis Dziena…tsss) and whoever else! Why stop at one?! yeeeeah baby.


Ari dealing with Andrew Klein was classic, and their meeting with the new clients was hilarious, I loved how Ari was on his own best behavior and trying to take control of the situation. Andrew Klein definitely has good eyesight, the girl he’s fucking is so totally worth it. This storyline will be interesting to see develop. By the way if you missed her, she is Autumn Reeser and I hope we see more of her. Turtle and Jamie-Lynn were just that cute couple, getting a bit vomitus to be completely honest, but this is needed from time to time.


The woman playing Vinnie’s love interest or rather fuck-buddy was actually Miss Israel 2004, another beauty which this episode had a lot of, and let’s not forget Drama!, he was lucky to score Miss Azita Ghanizada. Although there were plenty of girls, I think we all would’ve enjoyed a bit more flesh, and maybe some extra adult laughs like when Turtle and Drama revealed that they accidentally ‘crossed swords’ in Season 2, Episode 7 – ‘The Sundance Kids’. It almost happened again when Drama’s girl invited E for a threesome. Funny shit. It was a real classic Entourage episode, with all the right ingredients to set the tone for the rest of the season.


Time for the music:

  • “She’s Into Black Guys” — The Bodega Girls
    [When E invites Sloan]
  • “NY Sound” — Streetlab
    [Boys going shopping]
  • “Loungin” — LL Cool J
    [While buying suits]
  • “So Fine” — Sean Paul
    [In the Limo]
  • “Dance Tonight” — Paul McCartney
    [Walking onto the red carpet]
  • “Crank It Up” — Intervox
    [Gatsby Party]
  • “Heebie Jeebies” — Extreme Music
    [Eric+Sloan Gatsby Premiere]
  • “You Don’t Love Me (No No No)” — Dawn Penn
    [After Party at Vinnies]
  • “Why Can’t I Touch It” — The Buzzcocks
    [End Credits]

Episode 1 ‘Drive’ Review

The premiere finally. Words cannot express how awesome it is to see the boys back on tv. As it has been well reported, Lloyd seeks a promotion from Ari, Vincent learns to drive to get his driver’s license for his role in Enzo: The Movie, and E is interrupted by his ex Sloan.

The ‘Drive’ was a great reintroduction to all our favorite Entourage themes and relationships, Vincent still scoring beautiful women, Drama and his usual antagonism, Ari Gold putting down Lloyd etc. It also had new confrontations that will be intriguing to see over the course of the season with Lloyd “strong-arming” Ari, and as a result Ari giving him 100 days to prove his worth as an agent (is that right?) and E’s on-going love saga with Sloan.

You either owe me an apology or a blow job, your choice!
— Ari Gold, to Babbs

In the final scenes we see Vinnie on the couch by himself in his mansion, a rather bittersweet moment. And so Vincent being lonely will definitely be something to watch develop and surely struggle with, as E moves out, Drama working at his night-shoots, and Turtle hanging out with Jamie-Lynn — it is also quite a pertinent time to showcase such a theme.


Also featured was another great soundtrack, true to the Entourage formula that we know and love, check the music out:

  • “Tainted” — Slum Village Feat. Dwelle
    [Opening scene]
  • “Gimmie That Nutt” — Eazy-E
    [While 'E' shoots from the couch]
  • “Close To Me” — The Cure
    [Vinnie trying to reverse-park]
  • “You’ll Find A Way (Switch & Sinden Remix)” — Santogold
    [Lloyd waiting for Ari outside his house]
  • “Lucky Man” — The Verve
    [Closing Sequence]

Overall, was an excellent episode to bring us back to where we left off. We’re definitely f*ckin’ looking forward to next weeks Episode 2 ‘Amongst Friends’. What did you all think? I challenge you all to describe this episode in two words: I would say “F*ckin’ Awesome”. On a rather sad note, this episode was dedicated to Kevin Connolly’s late mother, Eileen Connolly, who died on 1st March, 2009. Condolences from us to you Kevin.
