After the second episode of Season 4, I wrote about Ari Gold, the father. I asked readers their thoughts about his actions as a parent.
While the incoming emails didn't exactly force the network that hosts my email to shut down (what did I expect, really? I mean, a blog about "Entourage" isn't exactly the same as Parents & Children Magazine), I'd like to share two of the more enjoyable emails.
Blog reader Lisa T summed it up perfectly, I think:
Dear Mark,Anything less than taking a bullet for one’s child is unacceptable.

Well said, Lisa.

although i am not a parent, i would love to show a little ari in myself when i am - he shows everything a parent needs - love (at times) - ruthlessness - quick thinking - intelligence - and most of all hes like a chamelieon (didnt spell it right) because somehow in any situation ari makes himself look like the hero - quote from last episode "Im gonna save the day again honey" i mean if the guy wasnt a superhero- why would he have a batphone? - hahah anyway i believe ari is a wonderful father - and Mrs. Ari is smokin hot.
Right on all counts, Phil.
Anyway, I got some inside information that says in an upcoming episode, Ari combines his two loves: Slimy, smarmy agency underhandedness and family life. So, we can always revisit the parenting angle again later on.
