This week's episode was really odd. And after letting it soak in for a bit, it also seems like it was nothing more than useless filler. It was all about the guys getting laid and Ari's quest to get his kid into school and the whole thing seemed totally detached from anything. Lloyd was in it for 5 seconds for no obvious reason. The T&D adventure was a little funnier than usual, but still just stupid antics. And actually, since Vince and E were basically on their own T&D adventure, that probably explains why this episode felt so weird and misguided.
A kid takes down Ari
To be fair, there was the usual hilarity with Ari, though the crying seemed pretty over the top. And I was relieved to see that Sloane won't be re-entering the picture. They've milked that storyline dry, and it had me on pins and needles when E was trying to get it going again.
Hopefully next week we'll get back to some stuff about Medellin and Vince's next project. I really hope they somehow write Billy out of the next project though. I'm pretty much tired of seeing him creating more chaos at this point.
Here's another screencap from this episode, a hilarious shot of Turtle. But I am just linking it because if you haven't seen the episode yet it'll ruin some of the fun if you see this pic beforehand.

Agreed about Billy, although they do need to go to Cannes and premiere Medellin in the States. There's a lot of places for the story to go.
Can Drama's show get canceled like Arrested Development? He's much better as a loser. Going back to last week, it was hilarious when Edgar said his show sucked .
