Man I watch this show too much, I got more emotional than I should have during the last scene, maybe it was the awesome Radiohead song that did it...

Given that this show in HBO's cash cow at the moment and it will probably go on for at least 2 more seasons, having Ari take the job would give the show the freshness it needs, and a setup for plenty of great storylines and cameos.

Sidepost: I would have failed that model's test like a motherfucker.
A joint and some bathtub cutty just sounds too tempting.
