1163 - Entourage: season five


Entourage is a show that has truly evolved during it's run, and I imagine it will continue to do so. It's impossible to write this without spoiling some stuff, so consider yourself warning
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
Some bitch and moan that this show has lost it's way, I think, like it's characters, it's matured. It's becoming something richer. It hasn't stopped what made the first couple seasons great, but it has delved deeper into it's characters in interesting ways. One problem I've had with the show is that it often forgets about it's main characters for long periods of time. A few seasons ago Turtle was on the verge of a fun relationship, and it ended for no reason whatsoever. Like it never happened. I hope and pray that what stared between Jamie and Sal continues into the next season. Since season six has just been announced maybe we'll hear some rumblings about her being signed on to more. I hope so. Sal deserves a story all his own. Drama was doing well till he screwed himself out of a relationship, and I really didn't care. His character went downhill this season. E was absent for most of it, just on the sidelines, but was great when he came out. Ari, as always way fantastic. The scene with him and Vince at the airport was Entourage's finest moment, and a perfect example of why Piven wins so many Emmys. The biggest surprise was Vince's turn into someone becoming responsible for his own career. I liked it. Can't wait to see what's in store for season six!
