Tree Trippers (S5E5)

This week's episode was trippy. (I couldn't help it...that was too easy :) The episode was a refreshing change of pace even though not a lot happened in terms of plot. There was a lot more interesting character interaction, and there were several funny moments since Ari was with them most of the time. E not talking while on mushrooms was awesome too, not only because it was hilarious, but also because it made me realize how he usually talks so much in every scene he's in...it was really odd not having him utter a word. Also, Turtle insightfully pointed out that he has no job and no purpose...maybe they'll finally make him do something interesting again.

The whole Ari/Lloyd/Mrs. Ari thing was pretty amusing, though entirely predictable. I wonder if they'll show the conversation once Ari gets home (with Vince to back him up?).

Vince says he isn't doing Benji and pushes for Smoke Jumpers, and you can tell from his comment that "something is going to change", that he'll get it somehow. However, I hope that happens soon...the plot's been moving at a snail's pace.

Finally, I found it pretty hard to believe, despite how dedicated they were to their mission, that they didn't get sidetracked by the girls going to Vegas. At the very least they could have had Turtle jump into their car from the Winnebago...he definitely would have done something like that.
