Michelle Trachtenberg

Evil Georgina might be returning to the Upper East side!
Last year we met with Serena’s former friend and arch enemy Georgina. When Serena was still a party girl the two used to sleep around and do drugs, but now that Serena has gone goodie two Louboutins Georgina finds sick pleasure in tormentng her.

Hey, anyone tormenting Serena is ok with me and I must say I liked Trachtenberg. As Buffy’s sis (where IS Sarah Michelle Geller anyway? Off having babies? Rehab?) she was a bit too sweet to be true, I like the more curvy, adult version. And her clothes are much, much better.

As with many evil doers, you wonder why they make such a song and dance of being evil, it would be so much easier to just get along.   Or find new friends to go drinking with. But wehey, we need a bit of action in Gossip Girl. Rumors are flying that Georgina is Lily and Rufus’ love child. What do you think?

Of course Georgie could be having a love child of her own, after her fling with Dan?

Gossip Girl Bart

The Big Bass is dead! Funerals are always good soap fodder, and this one doesn’t disappoint: Chuck runs around screaming insult and getting drunk. Blair tries to comfort him, but he resists her maternal side. Lily and Rufus want to be together and Rufus says he’ll wait for her.

I like that Blair and Cyrus are getting close, I think Blair is basically a family girl, who likes big thanksgivings and lavish Christmasses. Serena going all grieving daughter I thought a bit dodgy, because her mom was married to Bart for all of fifteen minutes and most of those minutes were rather unpleasant! Aaron has got to go. I thought Dan was a boring conceited, well, bore, but Aaron is much, much worse. Plus he desperately needs to shave. Who’d have thought I’d be longing for the days of Darena? I’m curious about the missing baby: would it be anyone we know? Could be Nate….. Or Aaron! Yikes. Jenny designing a bridal ensemble for the great Eleanor Waldorff I thought highly unlikely, silly even. But then I think the whole Jenny-story line should be scratched asap. Can’t she go and live with her boring mum?

I thought the final scene with Blair and Chuck was sweet, they really should get it together, though that would, of course, kill the series. Maybe in the very last episode?

btw: Chace and Taylor? Together? GG is starting to look a lot like a dating show for teens… That’s the third couple getting together!

oh well, no more GG til 5th of January!

Blair and Serena

It’s Blair’s eighteenth birthday!
Blair’s mom has a new boyfriend, who is not at all like Queen B. expects (come on B, your dad was gay! Being straight probably makes him a better boyfriend for your mom!) because he’s tiny and, well, looks like something from Deep Space Nine.

Serena and boring artisty Aaron are doing utterly boring stuff with maps, Dan is selling out Chuck to get into Yale and Little J is getting into a cat fight with model Agnes.

I know, I know, I don’t like Serena, but couldn’t she be a lot more unhappy. A venereal disease, a train wreck, something?

Sad moment: Chuck buys his dad a box at the Rangers and all his dad can say is “Nice gesture, but misguided as usual. I don’t have time for hockey games.” Jerk!

Funny quotes:

Blair to Serena: “Who cares about plaque or pretentious artists when your best friend is having a melt down?” (so true!)

Blair to Serena: “A guy starts in his blue period and it’s all great, but then he gets into cubism and it’s some other girl’s eye coming out of her forehead!” (you go girl!)

The Gossip Girl Gang

I hate Serena!

So there, I said it. In this episode, like in the past few we’ve seen, everything goes her way, everybody wants to be with her, make her happy and apparently they even send her handwritten invites to please come to Yale? Reallly? She can’t have much of an academic record, so they’d be taking her for her, erm, hair tossing skills?

The gang goes to Yale, Nate to score a chick, Chuck to get with the skulls, Blair to live her life long dream and Serena’s just there to piss Blair off. Oh, yeah, Dan’s there too, but he’s so dull I forgot about him. So anyway, I like the thought of them all at Yale, however unlikely, and college girls hitting on 17 yearolds, it’s cute. Though having said that, if there were any 17 year olds visiting my college, looking like Nate…

But lets get back to hating Serena. I’m so with Blair, if I were her, I’d be hiring hitmen to bring her down. For humanity’s sake, Serena needs taking down a peg or two. How can she succeed at EVERYTHING? Marc Jacobs named a BAG after her? And how come the Dean of Yale found her enchanting? She can’t have had that much to say. Have you EVER heard Serena say anything remotely funny or interesting? Maybe she’s saving up all her good material for this type of encounter, but woohaaa. Can Serena PLEASE get a nasty venereal disease? Or at least a bad hairday?

Loved the catfight, loved Dan tied to the statue.

• Gossip Girl: New Haven Can Wait

Is it me or is GG struggling to live up to its reputation of hot, fresh, uberfashionable series?

The gals still look great but the story line is already getting old: Serena and Dan: puhlease! Why exactly did they break up? Ther’re acting as if Dan is the son of the poolboy, his father owns an art gallery ffs! Hardly the poor hungry masses. And is it me, or is Dan getting more of a self righteous prick every episode?

Serena as a character I find rather tdious as well. Love the hair though, just imagine walking around with a subtle breeze blowing through your hair al the time: that’d be great…

But apart from looking great I find her Micha Bartoneskly limited as an actress. Which worked for Micha, but was rather a bore to watch. Now Leighton Meester (Blair) is a much better actress and extremely pretty as well, but this whole “I want to be a good girl, but I accidently end up sleeping with bad boys” routine is getting stale as well.
Let’s hope things’ll be heating up soon in GG, ’cause I’m bored. Maybe the new, bitchy Serena?
