Definitely the funniest episode of the season. Drama golfing had me on the floor and anytime Jeffrey Tambor shows up on anything it's good.
Ari has also said that he's going to choke Lloyd out with a strap-on but I don't think either comment was a literal threat. He was just making a point and since it took them basically saying "No, I make alot of money here" once to keep their job, Ari didn't seem too set in getting rid of either of them.Originally Posted by Charlie Campisi
Are we really supposed to believe Ari would fire not one, but two productive people over the scene in the office? Ari fired one of the twin agents for sleeping with the other one's wife, but only after figuring out which one earned more money. Now he's mister morality? Yuck.
That's technically true, but it's a bit of a revision IMO. I haven't seen the first season in a while, but before Mrs. Ari was a significant character, I don't think he was to be portrayed as the faithful husband. When Eric started dating his assistant without Ari knowing, Ari said "I'm thinking about hitting that." There were other comments during other eps like at the Playboy mansion. But you're right, he never has cheated as far as we know. We won't ever know what the writers intended, but I could see a situation where he was written into a faithful husband because Mrs. Ari became a featured character. It definitely seems like they've hit us over the head with lines like "I haven't cheated on my wife for 15 years" or whatever he said more than once as if to make sure we knew. Either way, even if he's faithful, it's Hollywood. Cheating and fractured marriages happen as often as the sun comes up.Originally Posted by JonZ
"Cheating on spouses and sexual harassment is supposed to be an everyday occurrence with these people, not something to get worked up about."
But Ari has always been faithful to his wife. Look at the issues he had with his wife kissing someone on a soap.
Stress at home and in the workplace, I dont see the firing as really a stretch. And yea the golf epsiode was easily the best of a really lacking season.
No doubt. I can see what they're doing this season by pushing Vince to the background and developing the other characters more but usually there is some thread of plot involving Vince's career and how the rest of the "entourage" fits into that course of action. This season Vince is just hanging around and barely doing anything while the plots involving everyone else are simply boring. I don't know what to think of this season other than: Worst. Season. Ever.Originally Posted by Steve_Tk
Last night was a snooze fest.
Yeah, I had to double-take at first whether it was her or not because it seemed like quite the incidental part for an actress such as her. All I could think is that her character will become involved with E an episode or two down the road because she certainly couldn't doing a "cameo" walk-on as someone's assistant with a line or two of dialog, could she? I could believe that if she was playing herself as an actress being represented by Ari's or Murray's agency, but not as an actual character on the show.Originally Posted by Patrick Sun
Kate Mara looked better than I've seen her of late, though.
I still get a kick out of almost everything Drama does but I think the problem is that there doesn't seem to be a story arc for the season- it's been almost all here's-a-day-in-the-life-of-the-guys episodes. Those episodes are fun but they get boring when there's no 'major' episodes to balance them out.Originally Posted by Charlie Campisi
What the hell is going on with the writing on this show?
