Entourage - "Fantasy Island"


When we last saw the guys, Vince and E had just gotten their teeth kicked in at Cannes, Drama was consummating his relationship with a French woman on the beach, and Ari and Turtle were...well, no different than they had been. So when we picked back up with the boys on Sunday night, it was great to see that Vince was taking it hard, E was ignoring it as best he could, Drama was iChatting with his French girl, and Ari and Turtle haven't changed a bit. That, essentially, is all that really came out in this episode. The now identical combination of Ari and E were pressed with the task of bringing Vince back from his girl-filled paradise in Mexico to meet with a director about a film, since apparently Vince gets as many chances as he wants. Turns out though, it's all an elaborate plot to make sure that Speed Racer got the role instead. Overall, I'd say this episode was actually rather dull. All we really got out of it was the Ari, E, and Vince were hit hard by their flop, but they're ready to turn around. Since I obviously don't know what's going to continue to happen, this is only a guess, but I think this episode was functioning as a transition from the flop of "Medellian" to the rebound that Vince will undoubtedly have this season. But alas, time will tell. For now, it's just good to have the boys back.
Grade: B
