• The State of Gossip Girl (4/3/2009)

  Just re-watched the entire first and second season. On this second round I found out that only scenes with Blair interacting with anyone and Chuck interacting with anyone are actually really interesting, probably due to the fact that the actors generally give stronger and more nuanced performances than others. So, be they together or not, the interest of the show at the moment is mostly what happens to Blair (she has become the main character), and after that, Chuck. At the moment Lily&Rufus are super boring, so is Jenny's story, Nate and Vanessa both used to be snorefests as characters but the writers have finally managed to give them some story lines, and Dan, well, he is watchable as is Serena but not much happening on their fronts at the moment. Am worried for the spin-off and JS's movie since they might scatter the attention even more and throw the last remaining strong characters and story lines in limbo. Hope that won't happen, hope they shift the emphasis more and more towards the characters of interested, ie. Blair and Chuck, even if not in a romantic way.
