Meanwhile, in the Indian Ocean . . .

Aquaman and a school of jelly fish go to save the sinking ocean liner.

SPOILER ALERT. So James Cameron's first movie since Titanic is finally out, and we have Vincent Chase as Aquaman with Jimmy Woods as the heavy. The reviews and more importantly the first weekend's grosses are not yet in, so we don't know if Cameron will be as successful in a story about someone who saves things that are drowning than about a big boat that sinks.

It's good to have the boys (avec moms) back. A year may have passed, but not a lot has changed. Sure, Aquaman has had its premiers and Ari has set up his own shop, but this is nothing we didn't see coming. I sense that the plot developments will occur before our eyes over the next few months and not during the off season.

As always, how can you not love Ari. From defending his ordering habits at the Palm (I don't order the lobster, I get the gigi salad!) to explaining why, in a backhanded way, he can't represent Drama to just abusing Lloyd, Jeremy Piven is a sight to behold. Now more than ever, he is reliant on Vince (and his wife), and if Aquaman fails, so too will Ari's new shop. Do we think that Ari is being strategy in not having Vince sign on to a new movie until Aquaman opens or is there something deeper going on--perhaps Terrence has put the kibosh on studios working with Ari? We'll see. Plus we know that Mrs. Ari's role will grow in the year to come as she is the one controlling the purse strings.

As for the (other) boys, they are still the same. Vince seems over Mandy, and Eric is still with Sloane. I wonder if Turtle and Drama will develop a little more fully, but it may just be there is nothing there to develop and they are simply comic relief. I loved Drama's complaint that his mother didn't show up to the Viking Quest DVD launch. Come on, all together, now . . . "VICTORY!"

Let's hope for a big opening for Vince. Or maybe not because things could get even more interesting.
