I thought the entire episode was very well done - from start to end. I liked the comedy of Turtle and his recent "cold streak". The scenes with Ari and Eric were comical as always, but once again it is Ari who steals the spotlight for his perfermance in this episode. Aquaman is taking up a big chunk of season 2, so I would like to see that deal start to become a reality like it looks like it is going to. Overall, fantastic episode. Very comical and very drama advanced.moreless

I am going to put my usual complaining and whining aside for once, and just focus on the good aspects of this episode!

Whathisname the director of Queen's Boulevard is a cool guy, even though he sleeps with $7,000 whores. I don't get why he has to be such a douche to Eric though. You can't expect James Cameron to wait in the snow for a cheap movie. My guess is, Cameron is going to Sundance to check this Queen flick out, he's going to love Vince, and Aquabat will become fact. That's just what I think though.

And oh my God, paying for sex is a little much, especially if it's seven grand, but the women in this episode were fine. The entire whore part of this episode kinda proves that Vince and Turtle are just.. appendices to Vincent. Which is sad, since they seem like cool guys.

And really, who is Bob Saget? I want his money.moreless

Another fine example of why this show is so addictive. The plot is crammed into 20 minutes, but each episode seems to push along at a great pace. Plus these guys, even when they are down and out, are still just so cool.

The standout though is the ever impecible Jeremy Piven as Ari. I'm increasingly drawn towards this character that is just such a complete arsehole. It is tantamount to the great writing and the great acting that this character is so endearing whilst being so repulsive.

Loved the Saget. I just saw him in Aristocrats and never realised what a dirty, dirty man he is. Awesome.moreless

"Perfect"

By stogster, Jul 05, 2005 Report Abuse

This episode showed Entourage at its best. You got to see both sides of show business; the actual business side, as well as the benefits of being a celebrity.

You can actually feel Eric's dread as he fears Ari and himself have lost Vincent the part in "Aquaman." And you really start pulling for the guy when Vincent basically tells him to take care of the problem or you're fired.

It was also great seeing how Drama and Turtle defied expectations by trying to look at for Vince's money situation when they learned of the potential problem. I really didn't expect this of Turtle who often acts like he is disconnected from reality.

Of course, we once again get a look at celebrity life when Vince, Turtle, and Drama attend the pool party of their new neighbor, and Vince's new girl's house. Who wouldn't want to be living life that way?

But perhaps the best part of the episode was Bob Saget. The writers definitely have him some great material to work with. I laughed, hard, just about every time he showed up.

But a feeling of tension still loomed over the episode as Eric, and Ari, worked their butt off trying to seal the deal for Vincent.

Overall, I think this was easily the best episode, yet, providing the viewer with a great inside look at the life of an actor.moreless
