• Gossip Girl Forum: "The Goodbye Gossip Girl" (5/19/2009)

  I thought it was nice that it was basically the last second of the show that Chair fans finally got what they wanted. (It seemed a little fluffy and out of nowhere.) Hopefully next season they can build on them being a super-couple of schemes and fun, and develop better storylines ... than the merry-go-round dating of this season.
  

• Gossip Girl Forum: "The Wrath of Con" (5/5/2009)

  I think that for next season Gossip Girl needs to take some pointers from *REAL* soap operas and realize that every plot twist should not be solved in 1.5 episodes, and relationships can last a little longer too, and can be just on for a while or off for a while, not like an effin light switch all the time. Lately, to keep up with some of what is going on, you have to assume that almost all of the characters have an IQ of 88! (For instance Rufus investing his last 40K, in a sad attempt to make money ... in this market? Dan has to go to school in a couple of months!!!! The 40K would have helped maybe gotten him through the first year at least, until they could figure something else out?!) They sometimes seem to get that with Chuck and Blair, which IMHO is the only reason to watch, except for the times where the dialogue is actually really good. For example, Dan being the, "Cater Waiter at a Seder," etc! Gossip Girl is at it's best with those little snarkisms ... I personally think Chuck and Blair scheming about anything is never boring, and I think them getting together would be like this great detective agency! The first season just made a hell of a lot more sense, and wasn't so freak-tastic ever week, and that's why I think it was better ... rich kids doing rich kid stuff is never boring, it's all based on some sort of fantasy life. I also loved the whole "Poppy is a fake," thing this week??! When it comes to those sort of social circles everyone knows everyone and their great-great-great grandmother etc. Even if she did pull it off isn't new money still sort of second tier? I did dig how when Chuck said,"It's just a game." to Blair, or whatever it's like he was calling it in completely ... it was so obvious!!! Ugh. And like S. wouldn't totally have B. on speed-dial after Chuck is all love-sick over her. I can't wait for season 3 ... really it has to be better than this one was. It started out so strong, but since the funeral it just went pretty limp and lame in general ... and I actually went and got season 1 and watched it in one weekend!! I am glad they took a million weeks off though, because it seems like there is a glimmer of hope that Gossip Girl can turn it around here in the home stretch and be saved ... I think the past few have sort of been better in general, but still need a little help.

• Do you think they'll actually kick Vanessa off the show? (5/5/2009)

  I think the worst thing is that when she is around the reaction is mostly a WTF?  And when she's not no one notices her being gone.  (That's so not a good thing!) 

  (Also, if I was obviously just another notch on the Chuck Bass belt I don't think I would tell ANYONE ... not even Dan in a really faked out drinking game!)

  Outside of the show I've seen pictures where she looks actually really pretty ... her hair clothes and everything seem so off on the show.  Again, I think the shows problems boil down to bad writing ...

• Ed & Leighton: Does this pic look a little more than friendship to you? (3/17/2009)

  In good news though ... it looks like there are some happy Chair days ahead, finally.

• dont forget Chuck and Blair!! (2/14/2009)

  In, "The Dark Night," Chuck whispers to Blair, "Have sex with me ... Just once. That's all I need."
