Still, a good episode, and gives the show's fans some tension [finally] going into the rest of the season.

Plus, with the way Vince had been acting, a face-to-face could have very easily been the wrong move, as evidenced by the fact that when Ari did show up Vince blew up at him.

Lastly, it's a TV show. I often get in trouble with friends when pointing out logical fallacies, so it's become a habit to try and not notice problems like these if at all possible - it makes the viewing less problematic. :)

His description of the kind of role he wanted his agents to find for Drama made last night's episode a classic. (I believe it involved silverback gorillas.)

It didn't bother me on the scale of something like "Grey's Anatomy," which throws logic completely out the window at some point in almost every episode.

2) - Good question. But I think a better question is, was Ari lying that Benicio got the other part? And, this other thing bugs me: why does WB get to break the contract with Vince and bring in another actor but Vince can't break the contract with WB for fear of lawsuit?

1) True enough, but the one place Ari knew Vince wouldn't be was his office. Given that he has a working cell phone, I don't see a reason for Ari not to stake out the house or something like that.

2) Maybe the contract has some vaguely defined morals clause?

I immediately suspected that Ari was lying about Benicio. We'll probably never know for sure.

Who thinks by the end of the season Drama and Turtle will be the ones making all the money while Vinnie is gonna be doing the Surreal Life.

The writers contrived the "Drama wants a job" and "E wants a three-way" subplots to ensure Ari couldn't reach Vince, and that E would be out of the loop. But neither explains why Ari wouldn't use the blackberry to explain the situation to E.

I enjoyed last night's show, too, but now that you mention it, the whole plot was painfully contrived to create the crisis that will obviously propel the rest of the season. Hopefully the way it works out will be so good, we won't care.

Also, having Ari stay in his office did allow him to run some great Ari-shtick. Since that's why most people watch the show, they have to let him do this thing once in awhile.

What I wondered was what the kid saw in Ari's daughter - whether it was sincere affection or that he was Machiavellian in his own way.

I want to see Lloyd's character developed some more. He is a riot. I want him to get Drama a job and become a newbie agent.

Ari rants are entertaining but they are grwoing old as they are now more about shock value. Agree with Jon on the kid he is such a punk who really cares about him.

Me, I'm just greatful that after all these years I know what we are talking about. I don't watch 24, Lost, Curb or Arrested but I love Entourage.

One more thing, Ratt is right the threesome is going the way of Chasing Amy, i.e. threesomes only lead to bad things. Sadly, we have reached the point of threesome backlash.

When does Queen's Boulevard come out? And wouldn't that have just as damaging of an impact on the Aquaman franchise as the Haggis flick?

19 - I got the impression that Vince's character in Queens Boulevard was more resembling of Vince's childhood neighborhood, and would not be quite the same as playing "one of the most brutally ruthless, ambitious and powerful drug dealers in history" (source: Wikipedia). Plus, Haggis' next film is assured much more attention than an indie pic. Haggis is now a draw, after the Crash Oscar, while Vince, post Aquaman, would be the main draw of Queens Boulevard.

(BTW, Queens is a borough in New York. "Queen's Boulevard" would be confused with a Boulevard belonging to a Queen.)
