Gossip Girl - 1x17 - Woman on the Verge

[fembuck]

How is it possible for one show to be so awesome? I love everything. EVERYTHING about it (well, not Jenny). Do not take my Gossip Girl away. One more episode is not enough! IS NOT ENOUGH! *SOBS*

Seriously, what am I going to talk to my classes about on Tuesday when the new episodes end????? How will I bond with the youth????

Georgie and her thousands of messages are love. I probably shouldn't have, but I giggled like crazy as her tone got darker and darker. Also, Sunglasses!Georgie is hot.

Rufus calling Dan on his shit? Awesome.

Georgie's "oh, it's you" look when she spotted Dan outside of the Palace, and her duck and cover response cracked me up. That's totally how I'd react if I saw Dan as well.

That picture was Rufus was really hot. Good photog skillz Lily. Not such a good job on hiding you big heterosexual love for The Rufus however.

Blair, once again is the Best. Boyfriend. Ever. Seriously, combing the city all night for Serena *there is not enough aww in the world* Blair defending Serena after seeing her puke all over her bathroom = Best Boyfriend in History.

Serena looked fabulous as she descended the stairs in that royal blue robe. It has to be said. Also, I feel like I should feel bad for Dan ... but I don't.

Dorota is good people.

OH FUCK! LILY IS GOING TO WATCH THE FUCKING VIDEO. FUCK FUCK FUCK!
(No parent needs to see something like that - and that's not even talking about the murder. Seriously, it's one thing cleaning Serena up after, it's another thing entirely to see how she got dirty)

Blair's eyebrows after "I'm Chuck Bass" were almost as win as the line itself.

The UES foursome are love.

"We can skip that part" ... aw, I love you Blair.

Serena, in nothing but a shirt in the shirt = sexay as hell.

OH FUCK, LILY IS WATCHING THE TAPE!!! FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!

omg somebody came to my fucking door RIGHT as the tape started playing??? How does that happen? Go away!!!

Wow, some people totally called the accidental o.d with Georgina pulling Serena out of the room to save themselves.

HOW DID THEY NOT HAVE VAN DER SPARKS KISS! HOW!?!?!?!?!?!?!

WHY IS SERENA'S ANGST ALL ABOUT DAN? You know what else sucks Serena? Going to real ass raping jail! Not all crazy criminals are as hot as Georgie.

Reformatory school? What is this the 1940s? What's next, to the nunnery during the pregnancy scare episode.

"What's wrong, what happened?" Damn, Blair got over there quickly. Such a good boyfriend.

"Um, I've seen her before in my life" LOL Great cover, Gerogie.

"Don't send her away. I don't care who hears. Just, don't send her away". BLAIR! BLAIR! BLAIR! I LOVE YOU BLAIR. DEFENDING HER BABY! STANDING UP TO LILY, ASKING FOR HELP. BLAAAAAAAAIR!

"Uh, gross. Why? ... It got grosser." BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAIR!

BLAIR IS TOTALLY GONNA KICK GEORGINA'S ASS AND IT IS GOING TO BE LOVE, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE THIS SHOW.

That's right Lily, you go be a mother! FU Bart Bass. Lily's got mothering to do.

Chuck and Blair scheme (remain sexy while doing so). "Let's get the bitch". Chuck you are too fabulous. CHUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

Is Lily magic? How did she find out where the boy who died lived? Did I miss that when I was too busy flailing about over the awesomeness of Blair.

Lisa Loeb sounds and looks exactly like a woman I work with.

NO VANESSA, DON'T TAKE BLAIR'S THUNDER AWAY FROM HER! BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIR WILL LAY THE SMACKDOWN ... UH DOWN!

Georgie ... crying? OMG SHE HAS A HEART! ... ... ... or does she?

Lily takes her own medicine with such grace and dignity. I HEART U LILYZ. I HEART YOUZ.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, don't go see Dan. No more Derena. NO MOAR DERENA. DO NOT WANT.

HA! I KNEW U DIDN'T HAVE A HEART GEORGIE. NO, YOU ARE EVIL GEORGIE, I C U LYIN TO DAN. I C U LYIN!

KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS ... let this be the end of Derena. LET BLAIR AND SERENA AND NATE AND EVERYONE SEE DAN KISS THE DEVIIIIIIIIIL! THE SHINY PRETTY DAWN SHAPED DEVIIIIIIIIL!

One Tree Hill has sexy commercials.

"Um, I'm a big Lincoln Hawk fan" OHHHHHHHHH BLAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIR. SERENA, BLAIR DOESN'T WANT TO HELP UR ASS FIND DAN. SHE WANTZ TO TAKE YOU BACKSTAGE AND PLAY 'THE 'RUFUS AND LILY ROCKSTAR GROUPIE' GAME WITH YOU!

She says, "Get out of my way", but she means TAKE ME NOW, and Rufus knowz it. Cause he's so much cooler than his son.

WHY DO i FIND HER SO SEXY WHEN SHE'S BEING EVIL AND ACTING LIKE A TOTAL PSYCHO! WHY DOES DAN GET ALL THE GIRLZ? YOU ARE NOT SEXAY ENOUGH DAN. NOOOOOOOOOOOT SEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXAY ENUFFFFFFFFFFFFF!

PREVIEWS:  OMG I NEED TO SEE SERENA STRANGLE GEORGINA!  I NEED TO SEE IT!  I WANTZ TO SEE IT!

(P.S.  I apologize for the gratuitous use of caplocks (and deteriorating spelling and grammar) as the commentary goes on.  The show is just to awesome for me to contain myself.)

No van der Sparks kiss? Do we at least get the satisfaction of knowing they had a twisted, crazy-assed threeway?

[mysensitiveside.livejournal.com]

OMG I LOVE THIS SHOW, AND BLAIR, AND CHUCK, AND EVERYONE EXCEPT FOR DAN (BUT ESPECIALLY BLAIR)

*deep breath*

Although, I have to say, I'm majorly disappointed that the sex tape didn't involve actual Georgie/Serena sexin'

Ahhh, I can't wait for next week! (except that it means that there will be no more GG until the fall, which is tragic)

You want to know the sad part about this? Every single thing you said (well except for the One Tree Hill thing) is exactly what I thought in my head while watching the ep. Up to and including the parts about Blair being made of awesome and Dan not being nearly hot enough to get all the girls. When it is so freaking obvious that the girls should just be "getting" each other.

Also, I did not know that there was just one episode left. GAh, I don't know how the heck I'm gonna survive that!

[trancer21.livejournal.com]

OMG!! THIS SHOW IS TURNING ME INTO A CAPSLOCKING, SQUEEING FANGIRL!!!

Rufus calling Dan on his shit? Awesome.

Ha! Dan called Rufus 'old' and Rufus called Dan a judgmental prick.. but nicely.

No more Derena. NO MOAR DERENA. DO NOT WANT.

I don't hate Derena but I can't get behind it either. Dan has 'rebound guy' written all over him and Serena should stop flogging herself for not being the perfect girlfriend Dan expects her to be. So I say, let them be over. Serena's learned that she can be 'good' so let her be 'good' with Blair. And by 'good' I totally mean 'hot lesbian sexin'!

PREVIEWS: OMG I NEED TO SEE SERENA STRANGLE GEORGINA! I NEED TO SEE IT! I WANTZ TO SEE IT!

Noooo, there has to be a Blair/Georgina showdown first. Then, Serena can strangle what ever's left. Honestly, I don't see how Georgina can remain on the eastern hemisphere with Chuck, Blair and Serena after her. I don't include Nate because he's like Dan ver. 1.0, ie, totally worthless.

AND DAMMIT I STILL DON'T HAVE A SERENA/BLAIR ICON!!

I had missed a bunch of episodes (all thanks to GTA 4 stealing my life away), but I was finally able to catch up and man it is good to be back. I remember not being able to stand Dawn. She and Neutered Spike, made Buffy so hard to watch. So I cannot believe how much I'm enjoying Michelle as Georgina. I guess I should have learned my lesson with Brian Austin Green. And can Dan please go stay with his mom too? Everyone else on the show is so much more interesting than he is.

Anyway, loved the episode commentary and as always, great job with the fics.

Georgie and her thousands of messages are love.
I giggled after the first couple of messages. At that point, she was going totally stalker and became even more hilarious. It was the perfect scene to really remind the viewer how crazy obsessed Georgie is with Serena.

Blair, once again is the Best. Boyfriend. Ever. Seriously, combing the city all night for Serena *there is not enough aww in the world* Blair defending Serena after seeing her puke all over her bathroom = Best Boyfriend in History.
You've got me calling Blair the Best Boyfriend Ever now. Seriously. Those words left my lips as I watched. I was a bit perplexed by the mad hunt to find Serena in the beginning because at the end of the last episode, it was pretty clear that Blair was going to protectively take care of her for as long as she needed. Next time Serena disappears, Blair needs to Nelly Yuki to make some cell phone GPS tracking system so she's more easily locatable. The idea of Blair sitting in the back of her limo with her laptop, combing the city for her wayward girlfriend amuses me.

HOW DID THEY NOT HAVE VAN DER SPARKS KISS! HOW!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I am very disappointed as well. The fact that Georgina knows something about what turns Serena on implies that it's first hand knowledge. We need confirmation of this, damnit!

WHY IS SERENA'S ANGST ALL ABOUT DAN? You know what else sucks Serena? Going to real ass raping jail! Not all crazy criminals are as hot as Georgie.
I was thinking the same thing! After that whole scene where she drove Dan off, I was very annoyed. Blair is right there, knowing all Serena's dirty secrets and supporting her 100%. Dan is such a prick that I actually thought he was going to break up with her in the previous episode. Serena really needs to get over this whole "I'm a bad girl and need to suffer for it" mentality, and just climb into Blair's waiting arms.

Reformatory school? What is this the 1940s? What's next, to the nunnery during the pregnancy scare episode.
That line seriously made me do a double take. I mean, really. Reformatory school? I couldn't help but laugh. I wonder if Lily was just repeating a threat her mother once made to her.


BLAIR IS TOTALLY GONNA KICK GEORGINA'S ASS AND IT IS GOING TO BE LOVE, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE THIS SHOW.
If we don't get a total smackdown by Blair I will be SO disappointed. I need to at least see a slap. Blair is like a loyal little pit bull when it comes to Serena, and will tear into anything that hurts her. I half wish she'd smack Dan while she's at it, but that's probably too much to ask.

Is Lily magic? How did she find out where the boy who died lived? Did I miss that when I was too busy flailing about over the awesomeness of Blair.
Apparently, she asked Chuck to get the address at some point off camera. I'm always amused when she calls him Charles. Oh, Lily. You're one of the best characters on the show. :D


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, don't go see Dan. No more Derena. NO MOAR DERENA. DO NOT WANT.
I nearly choked on my tea while reading this. Somehow, I just don't expect to see 4chan speak in certain places. I'm with you, though. DO NOT WANT.

I always find your commentary hilarious, and agree with it 100%. I am so hoping that GG gets a dvd box release. It's been one of the most entertaining shows I've seen all year. It's right up there with BSG and SCC.
