Last night's GG episode did not include any real mention of Elle, which was wonderful, but while the show was entertaining, I have to admit it was not as dramatic as usual. Here is the New York Magazine Intel link. They made some wonderful points and actually came out even on the tally, so as I said, we must agree that the show was neither wonderful nor disappointing. Here are some additional point values:
- Minus two for Dan and Vanessa going to Nate's house to watch college basketball. While this is something Nate would enjoy, it is hardly the style of Dan or Vanessa.
- When Chuck walks in on Carter and Blair, she says to Chuck's protest, "He can't be any worse than you." Plus two because it is oh so true.
- Plus one goes to Dan and Vanessa because as Nate's grandfather gives them a tour of the estate, all they can do is crack jokes back and forth. That is exactly how I would also handle the situation.
- Plus five for the best line of the show: "Do you know how exhausting it has been being Blair Waldorf for the past 18 years?" Because only Blair would be this self-centered.
- Plus two for the Breakfast at Tiffany's mention because in the book, much more so than in the show, Blair is OBSESSED with the movie.
- Minus two for Blair's actions at the reunion. (And a side note, minus five because why would everyone be there? Was Blair, Chuck, Serena and the rest of the world really invited?) Blair would never say she wants to be dead and buried with no resurrection. Though she does know a lot of dirt and it was funny to see her spill it.
- Minus three for when Serena told Chuck to fight for Blair. Doesn't Serena hate Chuck?
- Plus three for Dan's line about how Upper East Side grandparents rule their grandchildren's lives.
- Minus 10 for the cliche voiceover at the end of the episode where the Gossip Girl announces that spring is a time for rebirth.
Did I miss any? What did you like/dislike about last night's episode? Let me know.

Hi, just stumbled on your blog this afternoon. I like what you're doing.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the way they called back Nate and Blair's book characters in this episode. Between Blair's Audrey obsession, her shoplifting (she definitely does this in one of the books) and Nate's love of weed, they did a very good job.
