Entourage

This week, I found myself with a little more time on my hands than usual, and without the energy to go out and do a whole lot. I am usual an extremely active person, but over the past few days I've been more inclined to relax at home than to go do the things that I usually enjoy. Whenever I am in this situation (and it isn't often) I always end up catching up on some sort of television series that I liked at one point and then fell behind in watching. This week, I chose Entourage. I watched the final six episodes over three days and was completely sucked into Vince's world. I love the high energy, quick cuts, expensive scenery, and over-the-top plot. Even my dreams over the past few nights have reflected my current obsession with the show. As we all know, Entourage came to an end recently. I have enjoyed almost every minute of the show, and was excited to see how they were going to wrap everything up. However, (spoiler alert... sort of) I HATED the final ending. Everything magically fell together in the cheesiest way humanly possible. They left one small cliff hanger at the very end that left me more frustrated than intrigued. It was as if they were saying "okay.. it's over... we don't want you to ever wish you could see what happens next." While the entire show is far fetched at best, the writers just went over the deep end with this one. From Vince magically meeting the woman of his dreams and in three days deciding to get married, to Sloan showing up in a literal ball gown to work things out and live happily ever after with Eric. Completely ridiculous. The writers rushed the ending and lost all sight of the edginess that Entourage is known for.
