Entourage: Sniff Sniff Gang Bang
Season 7, Episode 8
Due to the threat of lawsuits and divorce, Ari is forced to be nicer, but he needs some practice. Vince's girlfriend gets an offer to star in a porno. Vince refuses to take a drug test and Eric finally grows a pair. This was easily Eric's best episode of the season as he took on Scott and Phil (William Fichtner). Eric was then forced to retreat as Vince started making demands. Eric Connolly and Adrian Grenier were as good here as they've been in a long, long time. I loved the confrontational last scene. Not to be outdone, Jeremy Piven was hilarious during his sole outburst of the episode. B+
Hung: Third Base or the Rash
Season 2, Episode 8
Ray injures his rotator cuff during a reunion with his pregnant client which puts his participation in a fundraiser, a high school alumni game, into question. Tanya continues to mismanage her business and her life. Ronnie discovers Jessica's rash and confronts Ray. This over-directed episode had many distracting camera angles and close-ups that served no thematic or substantive purpose. I did like Jessica reliving her youth and Gregg Henry's performance (as the lovestruck Mike). My favorite part of the episode was the high school pitcher giving his coach the heads up. There are some kids out there that "get it". B

Loved this episode. Vince's destructive narcissism and Eric's ascendance are both fun to watch. Plus, gotta love the Dallas-centric plotlines with Jerry Jones and Mark Cuban.
Cuban almost got the picture post, but Eric and his morality ruled the day so he won out. Also love Billy Walsh going after that sandwich.
