  1. Gossip Girl Producer Says There is No "Endgame"

    1/25/2012 6:24 AM
    The reason a parallel is made between GG and DC is because of the similarities between how three characters started and three characters ended between the series pilot and series finale.

    I doubt the actual comparisons are being made between Dawson and Chuck, Pacey and Dan, and Joey and Blair regarding character traits, because they are completely different characters. However, the parallel is drawn from their situation as a whole.

    Dawson and Joey were lauded out as most fans believed to be destined to be together, while Joey and Pacey started off as being at odds with one another. For six seasons there was this constant back and forth of will they/won't they between Dawson and Joey, while introducing the triangle in season 3. From then on until the end of season 6, it was a question of is it Pacey or is it Dawson? And in the end, what started out as Dawson and Joey being together, they grew up and Joey ended up with Pacey.

    What Dan is doing is selfless, as hard as that is to grasp for people so set in their ways.

    What Chuck is doing is selfish, as hard as that is to grasp for people so blinded by their views.

    For Dan, if he can't have her, then it's better to love and lost then to have never loved at all; he at least gets to love from afar and to put her first.

    For Chuck, as it seems, if he can't have her, then no one can. Honestly, not a shocker.

    A person can take the high road knowing it's not an easy road to take, but the low road? It's the easiest decision to make when there is a person lacks substance and honor. And with a flip of a switch, Chuck is who he always is... the latter.

    And seriously, the only reason Dan doesn't fully outright tell Blair how he feels is because from what she's been telling him, she doesn't reciprocate. So instead of trying to impose those feelings, he's respectful of it. Why add on to an already loaded plate? He accepted Blair's decision when she chose Chuck, whom people like to conveniently forget that he played a crucial part in their reconciliation, and he accepted the burden that Blair imposed when she reneged back to Louis.

    As for Louie getting Dan to write his vows, it only shows just how much Louie lacks the passion & love for Blair. He sees a girl he was infatuated with or perhaps a girl that challenged his plateaued existence as Prince of Monaco. He loves the idea of Blair, not she herself. How could you really write vows when you really don't know the person you're marrying? The fact that he knows Dan loves Blair and that he's a writer, who better than to ghost-write eloquence to a girl that he views as a concept to love as opposed to a person to be madly in love.

    If Chuck's love is so pure and just, then why resort to actions that tarnish it? If he's really meant to be with Blair than he shouldn't try to manipulate and steer events his way so that he gets the desired outcome. Good ol' boy Chuck disappeared in the second he shook hands with the devil, and seriously, how fast was that turn? So it begs the question, had he really changed, or was he simply pandering to his audience?

    Now as deluded as Dan's actions may be perceived, in reality, he's doing the right thing. Dan loves Blair unconditionally, and that means placing her happiness above his own. Yes, that means steering her toward Chuck or Louie or whomever makes her happy, because as crappy of the situation is that from his perspective it's unrequited love, it's genuine. He doesn't need to plot and destroy the marriage, he wants the love of his life to be happy. That's sacrifice, something that Chuck seemingly placates to as opposed to living up to it.

  7. Gossip Girl Review: Unlikely Alliances

    1/24/2012 8:15 AM
    From my perspective, Dan is a class act all the way. He loves Blair enough to put her happiness above his own, something that Chuck can't do, because let's face it, as much as he loves Blair, he has to now resort to villainy and stalking, characteristics that destroyed their relationship to begin with, characteristics he supposedly let go to be a better man, Chuck has proven himself, time and time again, to be self-serving. He would rather destroy Blair's happiness so that in the ashes of that hurt, he could reclaim his love. Yes, it sucks that Blair cut him loose with no explanation, but to regress back to who he was? Yea that's "growing up" and being mature for Blair.

  8. Gossip Girl Review: Unlikely Alliances

    1/24/2012 8:14 AM
    So wait... Dan's the psycho creepy stalker? Oh wait, he was the guy following her around all over Manhattan lurking under archways and making himself regress back to his villainous ways by making an alliance with a man of cloth that's only concern is to keep himself in power.

    Right...

    Seriously? Dan's the creep-o?

    I find it highly amusing that Dan's selflessness is received as self-serving when it's anything but, yet Chuck's advances as treated as noble and virtuous for his claim to the truth. Chuck could murder someone in the name of his love for Blair and there would be swoons of how Chuck really loves Blair. I mean, seriously? Reality certainly is something to heavily manipulate to readily justify Chuck being with Blair.

  12. Once Upon a Time Review: No One Is Safe

    12/12/2011 8:19 AM
    Wasn't the huntsman killed in the original story? That's kind of why I expected Graham not to last too long once it was revealed that he was the Huntsman. I was torn between him being the Huntsman or the Black Knight, but the former just fit a lot better.

    And OMG yes! Regina totally knows she's the Queen. There were all these subtle hints since episode one, and this confirmed it. Though, as someone else pointed out, this is the first time that magic and reality directly collided (the passageway to fairytale land doesn't count I don't think as Regina was simply trying to close off the passageway from Storybrooke's end). Maybe this is just another step of the curse undoing itself as the Huntsman's death fufills his "part" in the grand overall fairytale.

    The curse pretty much put everyone in limbo, as time "froze" in Storybrooke. As time is finding its pacing with all the fairytale characters, this pretty much jumpstarted it, as Graham was never intended to die by the curse's design. Regina/The Queen, with all the characteristics of being unable to forgive or have compassion, is contributing to her undoing. Like all evildoers, they are responsible for their own demise, at least in some way. This is Regina's.

    I can't wait for January!

    I wonder if Rumpel is playing both sides against the middle; after all, Rumpel was never really on the Queen's side, he only wants a life for himself, granted it's something of a skewed perception, but he's always been a creature to further his own goals, as opposed to maintaining someone else's. As evil as he is, he's been shown to help each of the Storybrooke's characters when Emma arrives. He knows who Emma is, and after all, he was the one who prophesized that her coming with undo the Queen's curse, so perhaps he's simply contributing to that as well.


    Dammit! January can't get hear fast enough. Oh well, I'll consider it a birthday present as January is my birthday month.

    I just hope the show doesn't lose its focus or momentum like Lost did.

    And Jeff's review? How eloquent and witty that can only be described as just as awesome!!

    Bonus points for likening Regina into the she-devil spawn of Sylar and Derevko! Her portrayal makes me want to love her and punch her all at the same time. She's evil and yet I can only describe her as stolen food: so bad and yet so good.

    I can't wait to see The Sheriff and Emma develop. And yes! The Huntsman!! For some reason I thought he was the Black Knight, but yes! The Huntsman is much more appropriate.

    @Doc

    Spot on! Spot on indeed as I, too, share your trepidation that Once goes in the same way as Lost. The first season had me hooked and stretching by season two, but after that, the show lost steam with me for that very reason.

    Hopefully the Lost writers learn from their mistakes and can continue to weave brilliance and intrigue into Once and maintain it's longevity.

  15. Gossip Girl Photo Preview: "Riding in Town Cars With Boys"

    At this point, I'd rather have Dan be alone then back together with Serena. Those two are ships permanently passing each other through the night. Every time they try to get back together, it's some stupid character or situation that the writers have contrived, badly I might add, to forever tease and never deliver.

    Although I support a DAIR union, the writers have pulled enough bait-and-switch tactics to make me into a disbeliever.

    As far as CHAIR goes, I'm meh to the situation thus far. Although I don't support the union given that those two together are as healthy as arsenic, it'd be the safe pandering choice I've come to accept from the writers.

    @Maggie,

    Given to what the writers are doing to Dan, DAIR is, unfortuantely, on its way to extinction; at least in some romanticized way that it hinted toward back in season 4. Given the previews for next week, Dan gets drunk and Blair ends up pitying him? He goes down this downward spiral fall from grace a la Chuck and it, IMO, ruins any kind of viability.

    I'm annoyed moreso at the writers that they toyed with such potential and have turned it into this disappointment. And now what they're doing to Dan? It's sad and frustrating.

    I honestly think the GG writers have a dartboard and are just throwing it at concepts randomly.

    What?!

    So if it's not one self-destructing behavior affecting the other, it's the other's self-destructing behavior affecting the first.

    Chuck tries to move on, and Blair thinks it's a scam, who then in turn, schemes herself to prove that Chuck hasn't changed. So yea, Blair and Chuck are REAL good for each other all right.


    This is a real healthy relationship dream come true...

  22. Private Practice Review: Amelia's Addiction

    11/13/2011 1:27 PM
    So this show sometimes gets on my nerves; call it a pet peeve if you will. The show has a tendency to throw out non-surgical professions to surgical professions for characters which are completely wrong. Like with Noah Barnes, Naomi called him a cardiologist when he's a cardiothoracic surgeon. With this episode, Jake referred to Addison as a neonatologist, when she's stated time and time again, that she's a neonatal surgeon. Neonatologists are sub-specialist pediatricians who do no perform surgery on the baby: since Addison is not a pediatrician and she performs neonatal surgery non-stop, she clearly isn't one, so.. yea. It gets annoying when they do that. Pet Peeve.

    But other than than, I thought it was a really great episode. Private Practice definitely has this niche for powerful character development and fall from grace stories. From Violent's baby-ripping attack, to Charlotte's rape, and now Amelia's relapse into addiction? Pretty good stuff. Caterina blows Amelia out of the park and given how Amelia's relationship has mended with Derek, you'd think he'd be called in as well? I think he's the only one to truly get through to her since Amelia tends to care deeply of what Derek thinks of her.

    In regards to VAS, yea, she's always going to trip that barometer, but it's her character. She's always been this way. When Charlotte was out of the group, she's always viewed Violet as this annoying hypocritical interloper: the only reason she stopped this view was because she moved in and became one with the practice. I think from an outsider, Violet will always be that way, and until you become "close" with Violet is when you make excuses or put up with such behavior.

    It's funny and ironic that Amelia, back in season 4, was the voice of reason for the Practice. Remember when Pete coached the blind patient and Amelia said, "where the hell is the line with you people?!" I bring this up because Sam CONSTANTLY crosses that line. Ever since he took up the scalpel and practiced cardiothoracic surgery again, which by the way he was a resident when he quit so I'm sure he never was board-certified so all of a sudden he's this great heart surgeon seems implausible, he leaps bounds with that line. Naomi's description of "what happened to us" is definitely spot on, even now that the practice is continuing without her. I don't know, I think Sam needs a hard-dose of reality that his way is not the only way and his way is the last way anyone should take given that he's been recklessly cavalier with the scalpel and being all judgey like he can do no wrong.

    That's my two cents anyway.

    If Dan is MacBeth, I can see his publicist as Lady McBeth; after all, it was her who pushed MacBeth to do those things, and when it comes to Allison, her token line to push Dan is always, "Dan, if they're really your friends, they'll support you crushing them all in the name of fame and money."

    It's also no different than having an analytical discussion regarding Hemmingway's works, or works by Shakespere. It's no different than a book club discussing what they've read: the internet has allowed the medium to change, but the discussions and points of view to remain the same.

    It's pretty arrogant to come in and disparagingly comment on a community of people sharing their perspective.
