Despite a Week’s Passage, Entourage questions linger

It’s been a week since the season finale of Entourage – the worst series in history that I’ve ever kept watching – but there are a few questions that just won’t die but dig their way ever deeper into my psyche, haunting my sleep and innocence.

Here are the things that trouble after the season finale:

So the last episode featured both Sloane and Terrance in separate plotlines. Their stories were unrelated and I’m not saying they should have been given a whole scene together, but when you have two third-tier characters appear in an episode and they happen to be father and daughter, don’t you have to service that fact somehow, just maybe have Ari yell on the phone to E, “Say hi to Sloane. I’m about to [insert anal rape metaphor] her father.” I’m no Emmy winning 30 Rock writer, but don’t you have to do something just to acknowledge that you the show runner know that Sloane is Terrance’s daughter? Which raises the real question, do the Entourage writers remember that? Are they capable or remembering a plot line of their show from two seasons back?

Next question, how the hell is it possible that Vince still hasn’t bought Drama a car? He’s bought Turtle like ten. E gets given a couple cars by Vince every season. But his own brother, Johnny Drama, doesn’t have a single Lamborgini to show for 16 seasons of Entourage? Can this possibly be an oversight? Or have they already figured out the finale to the whole series, a hundred years from now when it finally gets taken off the air, they will go out with Vince buying Drama the entire Formula One Fleet, if that is a thing.

A lot of cause for reflection while flying over Arizona with Virgin’s updated crummy selection of channels.
