By now, we've all had time to mourn the end of HBO's Entourage in our own ways. Sure, life just won't be the same without Vinnie, Drama, Turtle, and E, but they'll forever live in our hearts, getting into adventures and just generally bro-ing it up. Who knows what a post-Entourage world will look like. I don't. I kinda don't want to. Right now, I just want to bask in the sweet, sweet memories.A week before the series finale aired, I took a moment to reflect on Entourage and write down my personal predictions for how it would all pan out for Vin and the boys. I made some fairly standard, realistic predictions for our heroes, but for fun, I also made some "longshot predictions." I sealed these various guesstimations in an envelope not to be opened until after the grand finale Sunday night. Well, I've watched it and now it's time to crack open the envelope and see how I did.
Vincent Chase:
My prediction: Vinnie will start a serious relationship with the pretty British journalist who interviewed him two episodes back.
What happened: Vinnie went on a 24-hour date with the pretty British journalist who interviewed him two episodes back and decided that they should get married in Paris.
Longshot prediction: The entire series was the dream of recent college dropout Vincent Chase. He wakes from the 8 season long dream on a plane--the first plane to hit the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
Johnny "Drama" Chase:
My prediction: Having been told CBS is going to make his "man and his dog save a team of trapped miners" movie, Drama spends the series finale not doing much of anything.
What happened: Having been told CBS is going to make his "man and his dog save a team of trapper miners" movie, Drama spent the series finale not doing much of anything.
Longshot prediction: During a voice-over session for Johnny's animated series Johnny Bananas, a distraught Andrew Dice Clay loses his mind and guns down everybody in the recording booth. Before firing a single bullet into Johnny's brain, a weeping Dice admits, "You were the only one I ever loved, Drama. You and that hooker." Fade to black. Gunshot. Credits.
Eric Murphy:
My prediction: Eric and Sloan get back together.
What happened: Eric and Sloan got back together.
Longshot prediction: Eric and Sloan get back together. Ten straight minutes of graphic, full-penetration sex follows.
Turtle:
My prediction: Turtle becomes a successful restauranteur after the opening of Don Pepe's Hollywood.
What happened: Turtle didn't do shit. Didn't he have a restaurant to open?
Longshot prediction: Turtle finally reveals the origin of his nickname. Turns out, Turtle is an ACTUAL TURTLE, specifically one of those giant tortoises that live to be hundreds of years old. In the final moments of the episode, Turtle pops off his shirt to reveal a large shell, out of which he pulls a massive bong. Everyone gets super high.
Ari Gold:
My prediction: Ari and his wife get back together.
What happened: Ari and his wife got back together.
Longshot prediction: Jeremy Piven breaks character to apologize to everyone in America.
