I've long hoped that disgraced Grey's Anatomy cast member Isiah Washington would return in a cameo appearance to methodically gun down every blubbering character on that joke of a TV show. (Coincidentally enough, I'm told such a scenario, sans Isiah Washington, took place for this past season's finale. The gunman didn't kill any whiners though. So no luck there).While watching Sunday night's Entourage Season 7 finale, I found myself hoping for Isiah Washington to bust through the door, guns blazing, only to put a fulfilling end to a completely unfulfilling season.
Entourage has gone from being a bro's answer to Sex and the City to a bra's answer to Grey's. Entourage is now a 30 minute melodrama that features more cameo appearances than The Love Boat.
Things have gotten so bad that Billy Walsh, once the most maddeningly obnoxious character on the show (actually Dom was worse), has become the lone bright spot.
Season 7 started with Vince having an on-set stunt accident, and ended with him in a hospital, badly beaten (by Eminem no less), in denial about his burgeoning drug problem, and possibly facing jail time after a cop finds his cocaine filled goody bag.
Literally every episode this season was so painfully bad that it became laughable. Real-life pornstar Sasha Grey as Vince's love interest? Turtle desperately trying to hawk tequilla for the affection's of A.J. Sopranos ex-fiance? Ari becoming a pariah for being Ari?
It's almost like the show's writers are purposely trying to see how stupid they can make the each episode.
Even Bob Odenkirk, who so masterfully plays sleazebag lawyer Saul Goodman on the phenomenal Breaking Bad, has gotten sucked into the Entourage abyss as Mark Cuban's... business manager? (Sidenote: Why does Mark Cuban all of a sudden have a Texas accent? He's from Pittsburgh.) (Additional Sidenote: Cuban should have been banned from TV shows following The Benefactor. This speaks volumes as to how far Entourage has fallen).
In 1986, Dallas answered for a dud of a season by saying it was all a dream. While fans were understandably upset that they wasted an entire season on nothing, they were glad the show had returned to it's winning formula.
Hopefully Entourage Season 7 is Vinny Chase's bad dream.
That's really the only explanation to a season that featured a Jordan Farmar cameo. Because at this rate, Fat Lever's phone could be ringing for a Season 8 guest spot as Turtle's new love interest.
