Tripping Over the Joshua Tree

My wife and I agree- last night's "Entourage" was the worst episode in the history of the series. Not funny, nothing happened, and it only makes sense if you think tripping on shrooms in the desert is inherently hilarious. I had thought the show had its fastball back after the first couple of episodes, but now they've put up a couple of clunkers in a row. And why is it funny that Eric Roberts, a long-term drug addict, is their shrooms supplier?

It could get better, but the return of the show's all-time most-annoying character, Dom, in next week's episode doesn't bode well. At least that stupid director who calls everyone "Suit" isn't around anymore.

I couldnt agree more. Worst episode ever. The only funny part was with Lloyd and Ari and the house party. I think this show should end with Vince and gang going back to nyc as losers and just have the show be an Ari spin off. But alas the show will be back for another season next summer.

Personally, I felt that the episode was cut much too short. The shroom trip was certainly not built up very well, but I think they could have implemented it successfully if they had begun it on better premises. I liked eric's inability to speak and I thought it was more interesting than any controbution from the other characters.

I think the main fault is that they spent the whole time in the desert. My best memories of Entourage were episodes with a lot of scene variation. The excitement has dissipated slowly over the course of the first five episodes of this season. This is the product.

All I can say is that I hope it gets better. I love the series. I love Mark Wahlbeg directing, the cast, and the plot for the most part.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Two most boring topics to talk about (or, clearly,make tv shows about): dreams and tripping.
