Entourage - Season 6

So, the show continues. I've seen a lot of backlash more recently about how the show constantly repeats itself and how nothing really happens. I don't know if the writers took that to heart or what, but this season felt somewhat different from the last couple. For one thing, Vince's career is not an issue this time. There's no worrying about his next payday or getting another project off the ground. They've jumped forward to the premiere of the Scorsese movie, and yay it's a hit. And he already has another film lined up. The story this time is about E's renewed passion for Sloan and attempt at legitimizing his managing, Turtle's relationship with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Drama continuing to assassinate his own career, and Lloyd getting Tired of Ari as he goes possibly more power-mad than ever.

While it does thankfully cover new ground, some of the other issues are still there. Episodes will often begin and end with nothing really changing. There's a stalker plot that goes nowhere, E wasting time with an insane, not very attractive girl (which probably suits him realistically but oh well), and an episode where they go golfing with Tom Brady and Mark Wahlberg and that's about it. Occasional celebrity cameos as themselves are still funny, like Jeffrey Tambor being a dishonest prick and Matt Damon strong-arming Vince into helping his charity for kids. The season ends on a pretty happy note for most of the characters, though I still have some trouble seeing what's the long-term goal for the show. There's been 78 episodes now, and they haven't done much with them besides basically say "Yo, check it out, Hollywood!" I still enjoy watching it usually, I'm just curious about why I am bothering.
