Gossip Girl 1x16 - All About My Brother
May. 5th, 2008 09:11 pmOMG! That end scene was perfection! Seriously, concerned Blair is the cutest, most adorable, most amazing thing ever. Blair is the best boyfriend ever (Serena has officially lost her title for the moment. And I can tell you the exact moment the sash and tiara fell off, right after she ditched Blair again in the face of Blair's "Don't go to France, I'll be there for you" reminder).
Seriously, it's ridiculous how much I love this show.
Jenny is SO unlikeable. There were so many times during this episode that I wanted to smack her upside the head. I mean, intellectually I think I kind of sympathized with her a bit, but emotionally I just dislike her so much. Every time Jenny had one of her bitchy lines, all I could think was if Blair said that I would think it was the greatest thing ever, but when it's Jenny I just want to dump yogurt on her head. TPTB were really, really lucky to get Leighton (because she makes bitch so very, very good).
Speaking of Leighton in all her bitchy glory, I loved the final showdown at Asher's party. When Blair gets her bitch on, it's like everything is right with the world. Especially when she manages to be Queen B, and defend a van der Woodsen at the same time. Sure it was Eric, instead of her girlfriend, but I like the Blair/Eric pseudo-sibling thing. Also, Leighton looked absolutely amazing in that scene.
In addition, I love that Nelly Yuki is now part of Blair's Girl Gang (Is must be so happy to have a Kati replacement, though I doubt Nellie is as fun to shop with). I just really love saying Nelly Yuki (always the whole name, just like Blair). Seriously, once Blair turns her doe-eyes on you it is impossible to resist her pull.
No Chuck makes me sad :(
No Nate makes me happy.
Lily/Rufus makes me very happy. It was nice to see the return of Rufus/Lily. Rutherford and Settle have so much chemistry together (and Settle was having a really good hair episode. Really, Rufus was particularly DILF-y tonight). The scene with the wedding dress fitting made me 'aw' and pat my heart. And the calls to each other over their parental woes made me grin stupidly. It did crack me up that Rufus went to Lily of all people for parenting advice though. I mean, I love me some Lily, and bless her heart she does try, but really.
I knew all about Asher being an undercover gay, so the real revelation was that he was an undercover-douche-bag. Seriously, I never liked the guy, he seemed way to good to be true, but his whole "Did you really think someone like me, would date someone like you?" speech made me want to kick him in the nut-sack. ERIC YOU CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER HE DOESN'T DESERVE YOU! (which I'm glad Eric figured out)
If I wasn't totally convinced that sometime before the end of the season we're going to see Georgina plant on Serena, I would really, really hate her. Again, she's with the not-charming bitchy that I don't love so much. Though, her menace and crazy do make her much more tolerable than Jenny. I give props to Trachtenberg for making Georgina seem like a total sex offender though. She's as smarmy as Chuck from the pilot episode. Every time she is on screen with Serena I just fear for Serena's physical safety. Georgina is such a sexual predator. [small voice]I'm still looking forward to her making out with Serena one episode though.
I loved Jenny calling Dan out on his judginess. And that is the only time I will use 'love' and 'Jenny' in the same sentence unless that sentence is "I would love for Jenny to DIAF!"
Leighton fucking Meester! (I just needed to say that because ... well, because. Who doesn't feel like exclaiming Leighton fucking Meester every now and then?)
And the end of course, was sogay heartbreaking. If I had Blair's open arms to run to every time I was upset, I would never leave them. Blair would be all "Sweetie, what's wrong?" and I'd be like "M-m-my nail broke" and collapse into her arms. As far as I'm concerned after the episode faded to black, Blair wrapped Serena in a hug and gently led her up to her room, undressed her and got her situated on the bed, and then held her all not in a complete "best boyfriend ever" way.
As for Serena's "I killed someone", I kind of thought that's what it would be, especially after last week, but still ... DAMN. It'll be interesting to see what the situation around it is, because I mean I know she's all remorseful and everything, but it's a ballsy to have your led character have killed someone (unless of course your show is called DEXTER).
Looking forward to next week, and the return is drunken, wild girl Serena (Georgie will be so happy). Although I don't know who the writers are trying to fool with random guy, if Serena was going to have "I need to forget about how shitty the world is and lose myself in you" sex, we all know that it would be with Blair. And if she was going to have dirty, drunken, "I'm so fucked up right now I don't know what I'm doing sex" we all know that Georgina would be standing in front of her grinning, willing to drag her to the nearest washroom stall/backseat of a taxi/alleyway/semi-private booth.
MOAR CHUCK!

As for Serena's "I killed someone", I kind of thought that's what it would be, especially after last week, but still ... DAMN. Yeah, I so called that last week. I don't think it's S's fault, though. Not sure how, but I just don't think it is.

YESSSSSSSSS.
I just have to say that the last speech by Blair was LOVEEEEEE. Her emotion and what she said to her. UNGH. I refuse to believe that there wasn't a little Bleighton shining through in that scene.
MOAR CHUCK!

Those, since we know that slipping people ruffies is as normal to Georgina as wearing bangles, I would say that it wouldn't surprise me if they were on a ton of drugs and he had some adverse reaction or something.
Death by coitus might be a bit much for the CW though (no matter how darkly hilarious that scenario is).

Date: 2008-05-06 02:14 am (UTC)LOL, she totally is a female Chuck. And I don't know what it says about me, but her predatory, perviness makes her totally hot in my book. I totally want a "Georgina, molest ME!" t-shirt.
Also, I must read this story. You haven't posted it yet, have you?
YES! It's like... LENA HEADEY!
Totally, only Leighton gets a 'fucking' thrown in there because she's so fierce.
Yeah, I so called that last week. I don't think it's S's fault, though. Not sure how, but I just don't think it is.
Yeah, after their hushed conversation of "you're coming down with me" I totally say something like this happening. I'm thinking a hit and run scenario.
Over at bleighton_squee
Totally love this idea and hope they go that way. I mean, Georgina has already proved that nothing is outside of her ethical boundaries. After she ruffied Serena, I became convinced that she was capable of pretty much anything.
Also, you know that in Georgina's twisted little dream world where she are like an UES Sid and Nancy that 'sharing the secret of murder' together would be totally romantic to her.

Yeah, that scene was pretty much perfection. Leighton fucking Meester. That is all.

However, I am posting half of them as soon as I finish this and there's lots of Waldsen in there to hold you over until I post the S/G. They need a ship name, I think. Sparksen? van der Sparks? damn it, their first names are too similar to put them together. "Serina" or "Georgena" just doesn't work. lol

Date: 2008-05-06 03:33 am (UTC)lol. Now I'm really tempted to make one. Because, really it's true. It's so wrong, but its her psychotic-ness that makes her hot to me, lol.

Woot, Waldsen on the way = much happiness from me.
I vote for van der Sparks! It's kind of magical, which I enjoy. For some reason, thinking of them as Ser George also makes me giggle.

lol, so true. van der Sparks is like the total opposite of Waldsen, but they are totally hot too. I totally need to write some messed up van der Sparks sexin'.

I vote for van der Sparks!
Me too. Though Ser George is also causing the giggle fest over here, too.

Please, please, please do. I might die of happiness!

Date: 2008-05-06 04:15 am (UTC)I totally will! (although, I must admit I'm lazy and will probably just end up making an icon, instead of a t-shirt, lol) Still, Georgina needs to do it.
Though Ser George is also causing the giggle fest over here, too.
I think we should save Ser George for serious occasions and use for everyday ramblings, lol.
Please, please, please do. I might die of happiness!
It will happen, hopefully sometime this weekend!
