I haven’t been very responsive to the last few episodes of Entourage, really delaying my reviews when I’ve usually been up and ready with them shortly after each episode is aired. The reason is, our beloved series is ending, and I don’t want it to end!!
It is a double blow to witness all these great episodes and ever since the last one I made scathing remarks about it was hard to anticipate the following episodes, but they have turned it around! Firstly each have been limited by their thirty minutes cap, and secondly the fact is, that it is the last season and so many plot lines have to tie up and end, so was I supposed to give them a chance and keep watching? Fortunately I did, and oh how was I rewarded!
Just when you feel like the series is getting to great levels of entertainment it ends, so it has put me in a state of depression, I didn’t even want to visit my own Entourage Fan site and write the latest reviews. Way too depressed!
But here we are, on the eve of tomorrow evening’s Grand Finale of Entourage. The last episode of Season 8, and the final episode of the entire series. We will watch, we will laugh and we will most definitely shed a tear or two. For we, as Entourage Fans have become one of the brothers.
I will be back with reviews of the previous episodes, before I come to the last, but till then I want to savour this moment. With a feeling of great anticipation for what might be the best episode ever, I would like to send my thanks to Mark Wahlberg, Doug Ellin and all the Entourage Crew for creating a light-hearted yet thoroughly entertaining and enthralling series that so many of us have enjoyed since 2004. Seven years of the best thirty minutes spent – every week it was on.
During the beginning of Season 8, I didn’t hope for any kind of Entourage movie, but after the last few, there is definitely enough there to make a complete destroyer of a film. I can’t fuckin’ wait for it to come out.
So invite your own brothers and sisters over, crack open a few beverages and shed a tear for too and enjoy some quality ENTOURAGE!
Peace & Love,

Episode 12 Bonus Scene
Friday, October 9, 2009
This is for all the people that didn’t stay to the end of the credits. Yes, there was an entire scene where Matt Damon has a brain snap and goes berserk to Vince’s voice-mail. It’s hilarious, and a must see:
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!
Episode 12 ‘Give a Little Bit’ Recap
Wednesday, October 7, 2009
A few days have passed since the season finale, which we’ve soaked in and watched it several times. We are now ready to look at Episode 12′s general reception. First off, we have the good news, that the final episode drew 2.5 million viewers, a massive 21% jump on last season’s finale.
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.
