... just got a little better after watching Gossip Girl and Damages.

Oh GG, how I love thee. I've always been kind of 'meh' on Leighton Meester, but after watching this weeks GG I love her! She's so fabulously douchey and wonderful as Blair. Seriously, Blair greeting Jenny in her see-through white robe and micro nightgown, and then inviting Jenny upstairs to 'help her change', her ass in Jenny's face the whole time they were going up the stairs only to then prance around Jenny in her frilly underwear, before lounging seductively on her bed while seducing Jenny over to the dark-side was such good fun. Not to mention the fact that she left Serena staring after her longingly as she ascended the stairs in her see-through robe a scene earlier. Honestly, Serena looked broken hearted, and really if Blair decided that she wasn't going to snuggle with me on the couch and watch Breakfast at Tiffany's while we ate croissants like we always used to, I'd be pretty broken hearted too. Note to Blake: Gay it up, Leighton's stealing your shocking pink thunder!

All in all, episode two of GG was far more entertaining than the pilot and I'm looking forward to next week. Kelly Rutherford doing her best impression of Julie Cooper was also awesome. I do love my fabulously bitchy women.

Damages also started out in the most deliciously gay way as well. I always kind of shipped Ellen/Patty, they totally remind me of a TV version of Miranda/Andy (only I think Patty Hewes might actually be MORE devious than Miranda Priestly, which is quite an accomplishment), so the episode opening with Ellen and Patty sitting closely together on Patty's small couch as Ellen looks over at her tenderly was the bestest.

Patty: He called off the engagement?
Ellen: (gazing over at Patty) Maybe we went to far. (slight pause and more gazing) Do you regret what we did?

Don't be silly Ellen, she could never regret making sweet love to you! The only thing she could regret is that it took you both so long to realize how you felt about each other.

In all seriousness though, this show continues to rock. Glenn Close is brilliant, and I'm liking that Rose Byrne is getting a bit more to do with Ellen now. I have to say that I really want to know what's going to happen though. Stop teasing me Damages, no more foreplay!

And on a final note, I'm now completely hooked on The Devil Wears Prada Miranda/Andy fic. I've been gorging myself on it and I cannot get enough. I've even watched the movie again twice now since reading thelastgoodname's When in Doubt, Wear Red. The obsession is so sweet, but I'm going into withdrawal now. I need moar!

Edited: Because I forgot to mention that I also really liked the Dirty Sexy Money pilot. "I hate you!", lol. That was a fun first episode. "I had aaaaa scotch!" oh, Karen. I already love Jeremy, Karen, Juliet and think that the storyline with Billy Baldwin and his transgender lover, Carmletia, is sweet (*loves Candis Cayne*)

Oh my god, I was SO totally thinking that. @_@ Except then Patty drove off crying, so then I'm like, maybe she completely regretted it? Naaaah.

lol, I'm not alone! And how could you not. Everything about that scene screamed 'secret affair'! (or secret murder, but I like the affair option better) And I'm sure that she was freaking out at the beach house because she heard about the attack and couldn't believe that she had put her bb in such danger. Come back to New York, Patty! Ellen will forgive you, especially if they let you visit in the 'private' area.

Ellen slowly becoming more and more like Patty is just. So. Hot.

I know. Even though Rose Byrne was playing her, I wasn't lusting after Ellen in the beginning. But now that she's becoming Patty-ish and displaying an edge and cunning and deviousness I'm loving her. The two of them together could take over the world, and that's hot.

I can't believe there are only 4 more eps left (or is it 3?)

Ahhh, I've been in denial about this. I really hope that they wrap up the Frobisher storyline this season though, and maybe leave on a cliffhanger for the case for next season (it's doing well in the rating, so there's got to be a next season). I couldn't take not finding out what went on with this case by the end of the season, it would kill me.

Hahahahahah! I love it! XD

I know, right? The Miranda/Andy pairing that didn't happen in the fashion world happening in the legal world instead. I really had hopes for this after the first 2 episodes. And then all this OTHER CRAP happened argh. I need to find out what the hell came between them *cries*

You know, all I've read is that Glenn Close is only committed to a single season. I'd LOVE to see her come back and do a second one, but I just can't figure out how they'll do it without Patty meeting a terrible end, and I'm probably not going to watch if Glenn Close and/or Rose Byrne isn't on board, because I have to be honest, Glenn Close makes this series like Meryl Streep made Devil Wears Prada.

The Miranda/Andy pairing that didn't happen in the fashion world happening in the legal world instead.

And it's just as delicious. Honestly, the older woman/younger woman, mentor/mentored thing is hot, it's hot like fire. Addison should totally like get a young female doctor on the show so that we can make it a triangle of hotness.

You know, all I've read is that Glenn Close is only committed to a single season...I have to be honest, Glenn Close makes this series like Meryl Streep made Devil Wears Prada.

Damn, she's only signed up for one season. I gotta agree Patty Hewes/Glenn Close is like 50% of the reason I love this show. I don't know if I'd be able to watch it (or at least love it insanely) with her gone, even if they do keep Ellen around. *cries* Note to writers: If you do get rid of Patty, please let her get to/have sexed Ellen, or a least make it clear she had girl!lust for her, like you did with Molina and Fiske. Thank you.

I know! How can they have Gregory/Ray out of nowhere, and completely ignore the Patty/Ellen angle, which has been screaming in the audience's faces since ep 1??? (at least it was screamingly obvious to me.)

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's been screaming obvious. Glenn Close even said in an interview somewhere that she was kind of playing it like Patty was seducing Ellen in the pilot. Also, Patty has been very patient and supportive of Ellen even after Ellen brought her Katie Connors, and we know that Patty isn't the snuggly type, which gives a very slashy vibe to her fondness of Ellen. That combined with Ellen's hero worship (I think this is a far better example of a "school girl crush") makes their relationship so gay.

I mean, they could have at least played around with the sexual undercurrent between them but didn't have them consummate that would have been something. Patty touching Ellen, or them holding each others gazes for a bit too long, them standing a bit to close, or leaning over the others shoulders a bit too close, Patty using Ellen's infatuation to manipulate her would have been so awesome.

Patty using Ellen's infatuation to manipulate her would have been so awesome.

*dies just thinking about it* It would have made Ellen and David's strained relationship all the more plausible. I mean, it's not just HIM who's losing interest - she is, too! Would also explain why David's so antagonistic to Patty the night they were invited over to her place for dinner.
