Entourage – Season 5 Premiere: September 7th

::UPDATE::  Episode 1 review here

So, In case you haven’t heard.. there’s this little show about these guys who live in Los Angeles.  One of them is kind of famous and the others basically live off of him. 

One thing is for sure. HBO knows how to make a television series.  From Rome, to the Sapranos, they make great TV!

ENTOURAGE IS COMING BACK ON SUNDAY!

 The show, created by Mark Wahlberg, follows a Hollywood Star named Vince Chase and his boys around.  At the end of Season 4, we got to watch Vince’s Passion project, Medillin, completely flop at Cannes.  This event is expected to have major implications on the cast, since Vince invested everything he owned into his film about  Pablo Escobar.  

So far, there are 12 episodes scheduled.  HBO may order more however.  (lets hope they do)

There are a lot of rumors about what is going to happen this season, but we do know that Vince and Turtle will start the season in Mexico.

Other rumors include:

- Dom (Domenick Lombardozzi) returns.  I personally hope this isn’t true.  I hated the character when he was introduced in season 3 and I don’t think that there is any way they could repair the damage that the character has received.  I think the fans spoke correctly the first time and I was glad when he left.  Bringing him back, temporarily or as a permanent fixture, would be a bad move. 

- Saigon is back.  I think this would be awesome. I loved the Saigon / Turtle subplots.  They really developed Turtle’s Character and brought him into his own.  I think the return of Saigon in some form or fashion would be a great way to give Turtle some extra attention.  I also really liked Saigons songs so that will also be a plus. 

- Sloan will be back for at least one episode.  The fact that she’s played by Emmanuelle Chriqui is hot.  This chick exudes sexiness, so any screen time she gets is fine by me.  Hopefully they work her into a great relationship plot with Eric.

- Eric will have a new client.  His name is Charlie, an up and coming comedian, that will be played by the rapper Bow wow.  I really don’t have an opinion about this.  It could go either way. I like the idea of Eric getting new clients as long as it doesn’t sway too far from keeping the crew in tact.  They did a great job with Anna Faris, so who knows how this will go. 

- Johnny ‘Drama’ will continue to have success with his show.  He will also find a relationship and a break-up.  and will have a huge blow up on the T.V. show the view in front of Sherri Shepherd, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Whoopi Goldberg.

- Other Cameos confirmed: T.I.  Mark Wahlberg, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Tony Bennet, Phil Mickelson, and many more.

This looks to be an exciting season with a ton of action.  I will post weekly roundups after each episode.

I am also looking for one or two people to possibly start blogging on thispointofview.com  if you are interested, please contact me privately.
