fembuckUpdate: Gossip Girl picked up for a full season! - source
Okay, so I just got finished watching Gossip Girl 1x04 - Bad News Blair (I love you today Canada!) and that was seriously some of the best TV ever.
Okay, that probably overstating it, but that's how I feel at the moment. Obviously I'm coming from a place of extreme Serena/Blair (aka Waldsen) bias, but it was absolutely glorious.
I seriously cannot even express how awesome this episode was for the Serena/Blair relationship. That clip I based my fic Real Talk on, was only the tip of the Waldsen ice-berg in this episode. I'm really too deliriously happy to even think straight.
After the disappointment that was Heroes last night, I totally needed this.
Oh, there was also a lot of Chuck/Nate shippiness, and general Nate gayness in this episode as well.

What I loved
Blair: She didn't even wake me up. She likes you more than me.
Blair: It's called Nolita, not No Shower
Blair: (to Dan) What are you doing here? Do I smell pork? And Cheese?
Serena: She'd love to!
Blair: I would?
Isabelle or Kati: I think this is my best pose
Isabelle or Kati: That's because you can't see what you look like
Blair: Who dare interrupt the Van Der Woodsen as she teaches?
Serena: ... you look amazing!
Blair: I know.
Serena: You need to loosen up a bit
Blair: Help me! Help me!
Serena: Be a tiger! Roar Roar
Blair: Roar Roar
Serena: Let's do something crazy, like Britney with the umbrella
*crazy motions and giggling and gorgeousness*
Serena: Be Posh Spice in coming to America. *crazy motions*
*Serena does Mr. Roboto motions*
Blair: That's cyborg spice! (Blair repeats robot motions anyway)
Serena: (canceling on Dan to be at the photo shot with Blair) It's important to her and she's important to me.
Chuck: (to Nate) Let's go. You can think about your boyfriend inside. [Oh jealous Chuck, you are so gay]
Blair: My modeling career is over faster than Jessica Simpson's acting one.
- Dan's description of Blair, which included the phrase "95 pound ball of girly evil". I mean the whole rant on Blair is hilarious even if I love Blair.
- Chuck's basketball outfit
- Blair's mom tucking her in like a little girl.
- Blair's sleeping mask
- Blair smiling and happy
- Dan and Blair's heart to heart in the hallway
- Chuck coming to Nate's rescue like a knight in shining armour to Nate's damsel in distress.
- Blair turning her face in disgust and muttering 'ugh' when Serena kissed Dan's check.
- Blair and Serena making up at the end and HUGGING including a back rub (second best hug ever after the Octavia/Servilia hug on Rome) and then running off for a day of fun together doing an impromptu shoot across the city (and sticking it to Mrs. Waldorf while they were at it)
- Blair kissing Serena's cheek.
Gossip Girl VO: No that's not a tear in my eye. It's just allergies. [Not even Gossip Girl herself can resist their adorableness]
Things that Broke my Heart
- Oh Gossip Girl, you break my heart! I knew the photographer was going to want Serena to be the model instead of Blair the moment Serena started to help Blair, but when it happened *sob* *clutches heart* Blairbear, I lurve you.
- Blair's brave face
- Serena and Blair fighting. Serena desperate for Blair to understand (and it really not being her fault this time), and Blair despondent and angry because she's always second fiddle and there just doesn't seem to be anything she had do about it.
- Blair: Because you take everything from me! Nate, my mom! You can't even help it, it's who you are!
- Serena's face after Dan basically called her a spotlight hog as well.
Serena: Look Dan, Blair's mom basically tricked me into coming here because she didn't want Blair. How do you tell your best friend that?
- Blair confronting her mother and realizing what a horrible person she is. For example: "As my daughter I knew you'd forgive me ... eventually. But if I had lost my company because of you, I never would have forgiven myself"
Blair: She didn't even wake me up. She likes you more than me.

Date: 2007-10-11 03:34 am (UTC)Actually, I *cough*torrented*cough* the show last night and woke up at 6 am so I could watch it before work. Oh Waldsen, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways... :)
The impromptu photoshoot was amazing! I love how much fun they were having. So much, in fact, that I went and made tons of graphics from it & now I'm finishing up my ficlet based on the, uh, director's cut of the ending (read: post-photoshoot fun!).
*sigh* Why must TV tease me with such gorgeousness? I never went to high school with anyone NEARLY as attractive, and I'm only 8 months older than Blake so I can't really say "they didn't grow 'em like that when I was in school" because apparently they did...I was just in the wrong place!

lol, Blake is a category of gorgeousness unto herself. I think a lot of it is her energy too, she just seems larger than life. I mean there were some pretty gorgeous girls at my high school but they didn't shine like Blake does.

S/B are love
Photoshoot!
Crazy Girls
Also, apparently my Olivia Wilde muse decided to sneak attack me while I was multitasking (watching "House" and trying to finish my ficlet) so the ficlet is not finished yet. Almost though! However, I do have some other stuff I wrote before...
