Typically, when you avoid work on Mondays to read this space, you find the BPL, Writer Props and a specific riff on something from Sunday night's episode.
Today, we switch it up a bit. Don't worry, the BPL and Writer Props aren't going anywhere. But rather than blog it out about one specific thing, we're going to hit you up with random thoughts off a show where quite a bit happened. And here we go:
(NOTE: "Sopranos" spoiler at the end, just in case you didn't watch it yet this week)
* The feeling here is that episode will serve as the jumping-off point for major plot developments in Season 4. Only Doug Ellin and the cast know for sure, though.
* It's time for the writers to create a new movie title for Vince to pursue.
* Drama's "Victory" scream at the Grand Canyon has me searching Orbitz for flights out there. A watershed moment for those of us in the Drama Club.
* I never thought I'd see two people spark a relationship over sneakers. Clearly, we've all been looking for love in all the wrong places. Someone call Mars Blackman. It's gotta be the shoes!
* Prediction: Lloyd is going to become an agent at Miller Gold soon and work magic for Drama's career.
* Prediction: E is going to manage Drama's career.
* L.A. friend Skirts read for the part of Variety writer Paul Schneider. Here's a snippet of an email he sent late last week:
Thought of your blog today. It was a bittersweet moment for Skirts today. I read for the part of the TV reviewer who hates Drama's new TV show in next week's episode of Entourage, but I didnt get the part. They went with some nerdy looking guy.
Tough break, Skirts. You would have killed in that role.
* Carla Gugino is hot (even hotter in real life as I learned at the "Gardener of Eden" world premiere at Tribeca Film Festival, but I didn't miss her this week on the show. It's strangely comforting to have Ari back in the driver's seat.
* What job will Rufus have next? First he pimped home video systems, now he's pimping rides. Is his daughter next?
* Turtle as a girl's boyfriend is making a serious bid for "inherently funny" status. (Right now, it's just chimps, midgets, farting, people falling down and Johnny Drama).
* Vince and E as producers is an interesting turn for the show to take. Let's see if they stick with it.
Here's the spoiler alert, for those of you who read over it the first time
* I'm still a little shocked that Christopher Moltisanti died an hour earlier.

Wow please take out that Sopranos spoiler - or at least warn people - you don't expect to find a Sopranos spoiler on an Entourage blog.
Hey Mark,
I work the overnight shift at a nationwide tv station. So I go into work at midnight on Sunday. So on a normal Sunday night I will take a nap from 7pm-10pm wake up eat some dinner while watching ENTOURAGE!!! and then head to work. I love your blog, I usually read it around the hours of 2am or 4am early Monday morning! I don't have time to watch both Entourage and Sopranos before I go to work so I choose the obvious one to watch out of the two. So this morning I was reading your blog and guess what I read..."* I'm still a little shocked that Christopher Moltisanti died an hour earlier." That was kind of disappointing to read since I thought the blog was only going to be about ENTOURAGE. Yes, I'm sure most of the readers if they are reading your blog have watched Sopranos and Entourage already. BUT I DO NOT! I now know better to not read it until I have watched both shows...

My bad, fellas. Spoiler added at the top.
I just felt that something finally happened on "The Sopranos" and it was worth a mention.
I got smacked by that spoiler too. It wasn't updated in my feed reader yet :( Oh well.
You're killing me dude. I read that spoiler alert up top and didn't realize the spoiler was coming until I read it. You need another alert before it. Actually, no. You need to delete it. Seriously.
Cry babies. You were warned. Deal.
