Brevity is the Soul of Wit

A few short thoughts on last night's Gossip Girl

1. Is it just me or is Dan Humphrey exponentially more attractive this season? I don't know if it's because he's bulked up or because he's no longer whining about living in Brooklyn but it's serving him well!

2. Funny they were playing the Good Girls Go Bad song which Leighton Meester sings on in the party scene.

3. I miss Nate's boy bangs

4. Serena sucks. If they think getting her involved with Carter is a storyline that will actually lead anywhere the powers that be are clearly mistaken. I'm caring less and less about her.

5. Lily's presence is severely missed.

6. Dan and Georgina - we've been there and done that before. It was excruciating the first time and I'd rather not live through it again.

8. Chuck and Blair are so adorable they really going to give me a cardiac arrhythmia - this isn't healthy.

Rest in Peace Headbands

You Know You Love Me

Just a few storyline thoughts…

Teacher/Dan - As a former teacher I am totally icked out by little miss English teacher having one-on-one coffee dates complete with witty banter with Lonely Boy. As much as you may want to be cool and connect with your students there are boundaries but such things don’t exist on the Upper East Side I presume. Also for someone so judgmental Dan sure does make a lot of dumb decisions

Blair’s war – In recent episodes Blair has been channeling her inner Cher Horowitz (Clueless for you culturally deprived) with her rousing soliloquies and calls to action and I couldn’t enjoy it more. I can only dream of the kind of hijinks Blair and Cher could get into in some sort of East Coast-West Coast scheme-off with Cher working for good and Blair for evil. At first they would butt head but ultimately they’d become best friends with the new Kelly Clarkson single in the background…someone in Hollywood please make this happen!

Chuck Bass has become my favorite characters on this show but this whole secret sex society storyline doesn’t look like it’s going to do him any favors. Uncovering Daddy’s secrets seem like a bit of a waste of the fabulous character writing they have had for him as of late.

All in all I thought this episode was a little disappointing. Vanessa and Nate were pointless per usual (it’s really time to kill one of them off) and I feel like the current plot devices are played out. I even missed the Eric and Little J dynamic. GG really needs to get back to the heart of the show – the relationships between Rufus and Lily and Chuck and Blair to regain its greatness.

Until next time,
