HBO’s “Entourage,” now in its seventh season, is a complex emotional drama. It’s a minefield of plot turns, complications, and relationship turmoil. We here at Pajiba don’t want you to have to face the density of the show alone. Throughout the seventh season, we will be tracking every crucial highlight of the show, guiding you through the twists and turns of the labyrinthine HBO comedy.
In this week’s episode, we got a small reprieve from the taxing density of the season so far, as the showrunners hit us with a transition episode. Thank God, too. If the intensity had not let up a little, I was facing near certain brain explosion.
Week 8
Vince was asked to take a drug test for his next film, Airwalker. He refused. The director, Randall Wallace, quit.
Johnny Drama is still unemployed; he doesn’t want to do the animated project.
Eric displayed a temper.
Turtle may save his new tequila business by recruiting Mark Cuban to back it financially.
Ari, facing lawsuits in the wake of the Deadline Hollywood leak, is dealing with marital problems.
Previous Weeks
Weeks 3 - 7 HIghlights
Vince began dating porn star Sasha Grey. He did cocaine. It may cost him a gig in a Randall Wallace superhero movie, Airwalker.
Johnny Drama is still unemployed. Billy Walsh is attempting to create an animated show built around his voice.
Eric is still engaged. His attempts to introduce anal intercourse into his relationship faltered.
Turtle’s limousine service failed. Now, he’s promoting tequila by using Vince’s fame. He’s also involved with the woman who quit the limo service after Turtle made a pass at her.
Ari’s attempts to bring an NFL team to L.A. were derailed after Lizzie Grant quit and the contents of tape recordings she made of Ari — where he called his staff c*nts and cocksuckers — were leaked to Deadline Hollywood by Amanda Daniels.
Week 2 Highlights:
Vince got a haircut, sky-dived.
Johnny Drama is still unemployed; Lloyd, and now Eric, can’t find him a job.
Turtle wrongfully accused a former limo driver of credit card theft, apologized.
Jerry Jones wants Ari to bring an NFL team to L.A.
Week 1 Highlights:
Vince succumbs to pressure from Nick Cassavetes and does his own stunt.
Eric is still engaged.
Johnny Drama is still unemployed; Lloyd can’t find him a job.
One of Turtle’s drivers quits after Turtle makes a pass at her.
Ari still runs the most successful agency in the world.

Eh, I like "Entourage," though I should note I don't see it on HBO or wherever it airs originally, I've only seen the reruns (I assume they are rather heavily edited) Spike airs.
I actually like it more than I ever liked "Sex and the City." Not sure what that says about me. Or if what it says is good or bad.
Damnit! This is an intense gritty show! A multi-layered cross section of the celebrity dynamic! Not only do we see Vinces meteoric rise and fall but we see how the others are changed as they are swept up in the parade of easy money, drugs and women.
And Drama is still un-employed,

This latest episode actually displayed some forward motion. I was pleased.
But I respect the sarcasm towards the previous episodes.
Only thing that gets me is that HBO for some reason thinks they can placate my need for T&A with a naked pornstar.

The cameras were rolling, so I suppose they had to do something.

My head exploded after Sasha got pissy when Vince offered her $200,000 not to do another porn movie, explaining "I'm not a prostitute, Vince." Waaaaa??? So taking money from Vince (while sleeping with him) = prostitute; but doing a five-way gangbang on film for $200K = not a prostitute? I think when looking for "prostitute," the answer here may be "all of the above."
She did explain that Vince should be okay with her doing the movie because the fact that it's a gangbang means that no one guy would have "alone time" with her. At which point my head may have exploded again -- a rare double explosion!

I don't know how to fully explain this, but Entourage is one of the only tv shows i enjoy watching high as balls.
like if you watch the news, its near intolerable cause everyone who trys to be smart now just sounds like an idiot. but because Entourage is already incredibly stupid and because my brain slows to an absolute crawl when i'm retarded, it makes this show infinitely more entertaining and i'm kind of really enjoying the season as a result.

For serious...that is the only way I can handle the douchebaggery of 90% of the cast, and the vacant personality of the other 10%.
The only character on this show who wouldn't immediately receive a right hook to the face upon meeting me is that Eric dude.
And yet, I cannot. stop. watching!
Drugs r bad, mmmkay?

If only Glee would come back soon, so I can watch those adorable high shcool misfits sing their hearts out, rather than a naked porn star and an occassional topless starlet.
