Well, like most shows that take their high schoolers to college, Gossip Girl is really testing out those growing pains. Last night's episode was entertaining to watch, but when I sit down and think about it, it's officially a marked drop off from the previous seasons and, truth be told, I'm a little worried. Alright, let's get into it.
-Carter Baizen. No thanks. Go away. Remember Aaron Rose? Yeah. Carter's not that bad, but in the Serena Van Der Woodsen relationship spectrum he falls somewhere in between the horror of Aaron Rose and the sometimes likability of Dan Humphrey.
-I think maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't care about Serena at all. I care about Serena less than I cared about Marissa Cooper and let me tell you I did not care about Marissa Cooper.
-There's no way this current Serena storyline can be satisfying for me as a viewer. I don't care when she's good and I totally don't buy it when she's bad. She's only interesting when she's with Dan, but when she's with Dan then Dan isn't interesting. It's a sticky situation.
-I'm really on the Dan bandwagon, by the way. He's still pretentious and stupid but in a really pleasant way.
-Gossip Girl - how dare you beat me over the head with Nate and Whatsherface and have absolutely no Eric or Lil' J in the whole episode. Fuck you, Gossip Girl. Fuck you.
-"And no Riverdale doesn't count." Attagirl, Blair. Attagirl.
-I am not into nice Chuck. "For your information I told Rufus about you not going to Brown because I was concerned." YUCK. Please, don't let this be the case. Please let this be a long ruse where you lure Serena in and then at the end of the season you poison her to death with poison.
-What was the deal with Scott freaking out about the professor thing? Mara and I were perplexed. Does he have tourettes? By the way, that guys name is Scott and like a lot of this show so far this season he is not interesting.
-Who are all these non-descript businessmen who want to invest in a Chuck Bass venture? I usually don't hold the show accountable for it's reality flaws but come on.
-And while we're on the subject. - a party on the roof of an NYU dorm? Again, come on!
-On the reality side of things though, Blair's right, clubs on the weekend are totally bridge and tunnel.
_Ok let's talk about my beloved Georgina. Am I wrong or is Georgina the single most compelling character on the show? Chuck and Blair are foundering big time and everyone else makes me want to throw up (except Lil' J. I love Lil' J) Let's cut right to the chase everyone, yes Georgina is evil and yes Georgina is plotting to bring Blair down and yes that's why she's awesome. The insincerity was oozing out of her when she complimented Vanessa on her stupid documentary (she was almost as insincere as V herself when she said "Aw shucks! Come on guys!" Or something like that.) Please don't let Georgina go away. Don't let her go on that stupid nurse show. Stay, G stay. Please!
-"The only queens here are the ones with tickets to see Liza at Carnegie Hall." I didn't like this. I thought it was cheap and not funny and worst of all not Chuck Bass.
-Still love Dorota, that's for sure.
-Never gonna stop hating Rufus. Remember when Dan was like "ask Rufus he's a good dad" and I was like "Uhm no he's not. He's the opposite of being a good dad. He's a bad dad." And as Mara pointed out - he's looking a bit puffy. I bet that actor that plays Rufus is as douchy as Rufus. Just an inkling.
OK. I didn't like this episode. There were some funny moments, but ultimately it's fell very, very flat for me. Think about it there are two central storylines going on (out of about 4 altogether) that have no juice at all. They're completely uninteresting and they take up 50% of the show and the other 50% is lagging as well. Chuck and Blair are blergh right now and this whole Scott thing is gonna turn into a mess. I can't believe I'm saying this but right now I'm incredibly pessimistic about the season as a whole.
Georgina Sparks saves it from being an outright F and brings it up to a D.
Pick up the pace guys. Maybe some Cyrus next week and definitely some Jenny Humphrey PLEASE!

Your right i was really really stoned when i watched, and still thought it was boring...i have nothing to say...*sigh*...thats all
i kept not paying attention and going into the kitchen to check on my dinner WITHOUT PAUSING IT. That says it all.
The fact that Dan is becoming my fave is worrying me. But then he is the best looking. I have always gone for the less physically attractive but more erotic and evil Chuck Bass, but his and Blair's love is stinking up the joint.
I did think Blair still came through though for the most part. "The minute you cross 14th street people forget there's a class system!"
OH and furthermore, I think its ridiculous that all these college kids turned down Blair's fantastic free sushi and sake party. Never would happen, its not like the only people who have ever heard of sushi live on the UES.
And I, not even being a huge fan of sushi per se, would have been the first in line for the free sake ALONE and am pretty sure a bunch of dorming college freshman would too.
Yes if the truth be known, in some moments I can reveal that I acquiesce in with you, but you may be making allowance for other options.
to the article there is even now a suspect as you did in the downgrade delivery of this solicitation www.google.com/ie?as_q=magic dvd copier 4.8.0 ?
I noticed the catch-phrase you procure not used. Or you profit by the black methods of inspiriting of the resource. I have a week and do necheg
