Yes, very. She looked exactly the same.

VERY sexy.

I'm sorry I wounded your labia

You were the one with wet sandy vagina... crying about how it didn't meet your expectations.

That's a really good characterization, actually. EDIT: I'm also not quite as harsh on the last episode as you are, Dane. I can at least give it some credit: it dropped some names and faces and it had a sustained level of comedy for the first time, well, probably this season. Whether the comedy was pointless drivel......well......

Ari,

It's not that we demand any deep meanings. I think most people would settle for coherent story lines. It hasn't had them since Season 3 at best. And when it does pick up storylines (See the airport episode last season with Radiohead playing over, or this season's first episode) they barely get touched on OR are over within 10 minutes in the next episode.

Hell, I cannot see why this Andrew-wife storyline is so big when Ari getting offered Studio head was resolved in like 4 minutes screen time.

And at this point, E is not even a man anymore. His storyline is reeruned and unbelievable now. I mean it was at least believable that he could get Sloan. It was possible in a Jim Carrey Dumb and Dumber way but it was possible. His newfound drama is not. No guy would ever do the shit he's done in this season.

Also, what the hell is the point of Lloyd's storyline? (Hint: there isn't one.)
What the hell is Ari's arc? (Hint: there isn't one.)

ya that E thing pisses me off. All that matters in this day in age is who you know and he's acting like it's a crime that someone is setting up some networking for him. It's just stupid, someone in his position would always take that opportunity, it was really dumb how they did that.

No, I said I was happy for those that it was entertaining but that this season is not working for me.

I'm glad that you're so easily entertained.

If a LEGEND in ANY field asks you to come aboard, you ****ing JOIN!

He didn't consult his friends. He didn't talk it over with Ari. It was just "Nope".

That is SO unbelievably ridiculous.

Poor, poor writing.

They're phoning it in.

That's not a good example of phoning it in.

A good example of that is this exchange:

E: I'm fine with you staying over, if you want to.
Ashley: I'm not going to.
E: That's fine.
Ashley: I am.
E: That's fine.
(Repeat 3 times over)
Ashley: Well, it doesn't sound like it.
E: I already said I'm fine with it if you want to.
Ashley: Okay, than I will.

*Writers note: Oh shit, I gotta have something happen to avoid going into a 4th repeat*

Cue: Sloan on phone.
Ashley: gonna get that
E: No
Ashley: gonna get that
E: No:
(Repeat 2x)

*Oh shit I've got nothing else.*

END SCENE

I still watch this show hoping but it leaves me unimpressed almost every time. The first two seasons were great though. That's more than you can say for most shows.

I was just stating that in general, Doug is phoning it in.

Seriously, he needs to bring in some outside writers again because this season is hemorrhaging.

I doubt they make it past next season anyway, so I hope they make it memorable.

I meant that first line as sarcasm but rereading it comes off as not. Oh well. :)

Hemorrhaging would be generous.

You know, maybe I'm more passionate about this show than most because it's about my particular industry.

But with that being said, anytime a show with any kind of merit disintegrates into a show about T&A and guy humor, the joke is actually on the viewer.

I actually agree with irish and Dane's last two critical posts, and I'm no film critic. I've gotten a few laughs, and I'm content looking at T&A. That said, some of the direction this season is just silly. E's story arc is a joke, to the point that I want to turn the channel. Sloan is smoking, so I hang in on those scenes. But the funny bits intertwined with Ari's studio head offer, the banter with those in the business trying to get movie deals done, etc. were a quality part of the show that have gone away.

Honestly, at what point has E ever done anything that would lead you to believe that an industry legend would want to take him under his wing?

Oh, and I'll add : the whole Seth Rogan attack earlier this season was ridiculous. You've gotten entirely too arrogant if you think you can make personal attacks part of your show and still create a quality episode.

There's nothing wrong with that. Not all entertainment has to be high-brow.

I found that scene realistic
