This week's episode was great in that it felt like things are back to normal. More on that in a second. But I found it funny how E has now fucked Harvey twice. I'm sure he wants to kill him. But, now he won't have Walsh wanting to kill him. Of course getting into Cannes doesn't necessarily mean the film will be well received, so there's still some room for drama there. It was funny how the trailer looked just as ridiculous as the actual movie. Everyone is blown away by it and half of it is just prosthetic chubby Vince getting money rained down on him in slow motion.
The website shown above from the trailer actually exists and is owned by HBO, though it currently just says "Coming Soon". Maybe they'll add some content to it soon?
So finally we get a real return to Agent Ari instead of sending him off on some bizarre subplot to develop his family (or whatever the point of that was last week). I'm happy to see more of Lloyd again...it makes it all the more apparent how absent he has been as well. Drama and Turtle are up to the usual, Vince is being irresponsible, and E seems more worried about everything going on again. Vince and E clash a bit but everything works out. This is the Entourage that the 2nd half of Season 3 had forgotten, so it's nice to get back to the familiar flow. Somehow while it's familiar it still doesn't feel predictable or less enjoyable.
It makes you wonder, if E manages to pull all this off, will they have anything to do with Ari now? It seems like he doesn't have much to offer then.

I agree that it felt more like Entourage and that Ari needs to be involved as an agent and Lloyd should be at his side. I also think that Medellin could suck balls at Cannes, which would be nice, seeing as how everything else always turns out great for Vince.
But I'm getting tired of Drama/Turtle storylines. It's just like with Ari, they need to be involved with the story, not have their own separate story.
That said, I like how the story has developed with Medellin. It's something that we haven't seen before in Entourage and definitely keeps me entertained.
