Vince is easily my least favorite part of the whole show. He’s a smug, selfish, ungrateful jerk who’d be waiting tables somewhere if it weren’t for E. This is to say nothing of him not being interesting in the slightest. I’d be more than happy if he just became a background non-character around which the other, better characters existed.
I was sort of disappointed in the last season. I hate the Billy Walsh character and didn’t need a total retread of the “he and E hate each other” thing. The Ari and Lloyd stuff was gold, of course, as is everything involving Ari’s wife.
That said, I was very glad that the movie they made this season really was horrible.

Agreed - I was glad to see the Eric really was validated. Maybe Ari will start listening to him.
I’m caught up now.
Maybe I’m the only person who doesn’t like Drama. How many goddamn times am I going to have to hear, “Hey, you got a part in there for me?” OK, maybe not much more since he’s on a hit. Even so, Tim Taylor and Joe Garelli are more finely-nuanced alpha males than Drama. He’s like Kramer but hornier. I’m almost waiting for him to start talking about how we faked the moon landing. He’s the only one starting to annoy me.
Vinnie isn’t too great a character, but he’s fairly easy to ignore. He’s almost like a puppy dog, always OMG-I’m-so-happy! I do appreciate his loyalty to his friends, and I like that even though he blows a lot of money, he usually does so with his friends in mind.
Walsh is an okay character, but I think he’s done, at least for now. They made a great movie, they made a crappy movie; he and E have fought and now made up. I don’t see much else stemming from him.
I like everyone else a lot. E, like I said, is the best character, IMO. I tend to like the straight men anyway and I think Connolly does it very well.
Ari is, well, just amazing to watch.
