Time for a round-up of reviews for last week’s episode 7 ‘No More Drama’. Hopefully this will be a informative look on how other fans and non-fans alike have judged this Doug Ellin directed episode. I thought it was a good episode, not great, chiefly because Ari Gold had a bit-part, but mainly because it really seemed like this episode should’ve gone for another half hour. Check out Doug Ellin’s own recap embedded below, and below that I have a round-up of the news sites and blogosphere.
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?
