This week's episode was dumb. I can't believe they'd create an episode like this after how awesome last week's episode was. Vince was out-of-character the entire episode, the "conflict" between him and the other actor (and the director) was not interesting, and E didn't step in to help either...he just kept asking how things went. Turtle and Drama pulled stupid pranks to get back at the other actor, but none of them were smart or effective (pooping in the guy's trailer, stealing his seat back). Also, since when do the guys follow Vince to work and hang out on the set???
Vince sums up my reaction to this episode: Displeased
Even Ari's plot couldn't add much interest to the episode. He finally met up with an old friend because Lloyd insisted and ended up spending the entire episode trying to convince him that he should let Ari buy his company. And when he finally did convince him, Babs said she wouldn't give permission to do it, and Ari can't make the deal without her permission.
Overall I found it to be a pretty disappointing episode. The only highlight was when the guys first walked on the set and saw all the explosions and helicopters.
This was a review of Episode 63. See more reviews. And here's HBO's music credits for this episode (may not be up yet).

Vince did seem a little out of character, but maybe the pressure of his career riding on this movie got to him.
It was hilarious when Jason Patric would yell, "Love that!" Made me laugh each time.
I also enjoy Babs' character and her menopausal chic.
Ari was fine. Not bad, not great.
I'm just surprised that you really didn't like the episode and I thought it was pretty good.
