1. Ashley
2. Any E romance plot
3. Andrew
4. Too much LLoyd, Mrs. Ari, Sloan, Jamie-Lynn
5. No business connection between Ari and Vince
6. After hearing that Entourage was "Sex and the City" for guys, the writers made it Sex and the City but with male leads.
7. Too many forced cameos.
8. People here asking "what shirt, pants, sunglasses, etc, so and so wore"
9. Good Music. I used to pull a huge amount of songs from Entourage and listen to them. This season I haven't bothered with one.
10. Good Endings. This has been said before but the endings used to get me jacked up, feel good or nervouse about what would happen next. One of my fav ending was S2E2 when he gets the number from the jewelry store girl. Very simple but yet was a great ending. Nothing like that anymore.
11. An actual story-line for Vince. A good business driven story line is what drives the show. This season had what, a stalker story like for 3 episodes?
12. They need for the producers/writers to have celebs play non-celebrity parts. William Fichtner and Scott Caan are both too famous to be playing anyone other than themself it this show.
Im sure there are more but this is all I can think of right now. This show just doesn't have the same feel anymore and man do I miss the old one.

I really hope all the "brains" of the show are reading this board to see how all their fans are upset with the turn this show has taken. Im watching "One Day in the Valley" as I'm typing this and not one episode in the last 3 seasons has even come close to this one. I really do feel there are 3 or 4 people on these boards who could write a better season then this POS we've watched the last 3 months.

Spot on Turtle. -- I actually enjoy seeing Turtle landing the millionaire/actress girlfriend; this is every guy's dream. And who could hate seeing Sloan pop up for a couple frames an episode?; she's gorgeous and before this season, she appeared capable of rational thought.
Entourage needs to go back to a show PRIMARILY about the four guys kicking it TOGETHER, and about the BUSINESS side of VINCE'S life. ---- BTW, I love how Vince is just a supporting role now. Haha.
Don't you guys miss the scenes where the whole crew invades Ari's office; or witnessing E, Ari, and Vince ripping through scripts and plotting Vince's upcoming career moves?
Another issue I have with the show is the fact that the writers appear to be suffering from severe short term memory loss. They will birth new, key pieces of the long running plot late in a season and then completely neglect developing that idea in the following season.
For example: Hands down, the most interesting and substantive piece of Season 5 was seeing Ari turn down the studio position, only to hook-up Dana Gordon with the position. Where the hell is Dana Gordon now? We haven't seen a single frame of her.
Thinking this is the only time? Well, what about Silo/Clouds?

I didn't have a problem with Turtle dating JLS, just as I didn't with E and Sloan. The problem I have is that in other season they didn't dedicate entire episodes to these relationships, something they did in season 6. This show is about 4 friends hanging out in Hollywood, so don't you think the majority if the episodes should follow them, not 20 of 25 min on E and his creepy girlfriend.

First things first:
Post # 1 & # 49 are the absolute truth.
California - please, for the love of Jesus, stop talking.
One short month ago I wanted to completely give up on Entourage and their writers. A good 3 out of every 4 episodes for Season 6 were garbage and there was no congruent story line whatsoever.
It's funny, the first two eps of this season seemed promising. We saw some hope for Lloyd and we saw the big opening for Vince's new movie. To my dismay, the season went to shit immediately thereafter. (albeit a few good eps in the season)
Do you guys remember with the first couple seasons that we would occasionally be forced to watch a filler episode? This made me rage. Well, now the writers have forced us to watch a complete filler season.
I mean seriously, nobody gives a damn about Andrew Klein's affair; nobody wants the misfortune of having to see another frame of Ashley, E's pre-teen love interest. This made up 75% of the season and these two parts of could have been opened and closed within 1 to 2 eps.
I respectfully dissent from the populace with their views on Turtle and Drama though.
As for Turtle, I believe that his thing with Jamie suffices a acceptable character development even though this is not necessarily the direction we wanted to see his character go. It's always been clear he is a caring and genuine guy from the onset of the show.
Drama: I think he's a strong character, but they let him flip shit too much this season. He's crazy and melodramatic but they went over the top with his irrational behavior in some of the eps. However, he's been himself the last few eps.
Let the woman go and let's get back to the old entourage during season 7.

Hey Sabre,
The rewards come in small ways! Cannot wait to read your overview of the latest episode later tonight or tomorrow.
Hey Looz,
Hang in there. Yes, the Turtle break up and Drama being ill was over the top and could have been easily left out of the episode. But maybe all this opens the door for what next season will be, better.

Great character progression during the last episode. Turtle cries, Drama nearly dies, E is worried, Vince is doing nothing. Same old.
This show is lame.

Out till 1:00 and still doing morning charity work. I think you need an award, mono. I was lame and stayed in last night - obviously not rewarded for that decision.

We lost HBO today because it wasn't worth it. I'll watch the episodes tomorrow online.

Oh no Sabre, don't dread, lol.
I cannot wait to see your synopsis on tonight's episode tomorrow.
I was out with friends until 1:00 a.m., i missed SNL, only heard about it. Megan Fox is beautiful and nice, it is too bad she is getting the bad press. She probably was nervous..

I am actually dreading tonight's ep. Drama losing. E losing. Turtle losing. And a great villain deballed...of course, I haven't seen it yet, so I can't make a fully qualified judgement. Tonight I got my series premiere of Family Guy though which was scores better than the Megan Fox SNL dud from last night. We'll see.

I thought she just meant they will do what it takes to target the most viewers.
This is what she posted...
HBO targets those that will pick up the phone and order HBO.......who do you think that may be..........most likely a female
To me this reads that females are most likely to pick up the phone and order HBO. I'd like to know if there is any data to back this up or if she just likes the look of her words on the screen and isn't particularly interested if what she says has any basis in fact. She has said that Obama has no American blood in his veins and the 68 million Americans who voted for Obama are commies so the evidence is that she's a random kook who doesn't think much, if at all, about what she posts. That's my opinion.

Hi Sabre and Tony,
Too cute guys; as you know there is only one Emmanuelle Chriqui (Sloan), and she is on Entourage, not on here 
Are you looking forward to tonight's episode?!!

I think HBO over exhaggerated Ari, Drama & E not to target just men or women but to add hype to the show overall. We are confused here.
I thought she just meant they will do what it takes to target the most viewers.
I don't think Doug Ellin really gets what they've done to this show yet and HBO couldn't care less because ratings are all time high.
You can thank the people in the HBO created threads for that one. not all of them but most of them.
