I am going to be frank from the beginning, I really do not like the direction the writers of Gossip Girl are going with this show. This episode bears no exception. I mean I really tried to find some interest in the new Vanessa Dan storyline, Blair's crazy obsession with the play and Jenny's experimenting stage, but I couldn't. I have accepted that Gossip Girl has found its way into this type of political drama and 迷失 sight of why 粉丝 loved the series in the beginning. Yet for the past few weeks now, washed down 写作 has become frequent and honestly I could do without it.

Vanessa-Dan-Olivia

The Threesome sequel to last week's 'They Shoot Humphrey's, Don't They?'.
Olivia and Dan's relationship became very plain to me, the threesome 更多 hurt than helped their relationship. Dan is completely out of character, since when does Dan get off on being 'The Man'. This is certainly not the Dan Humphrey we knew in Season one. Ever since he and Serena broke up he's been like a wild horse, almost compared to what Chuck 低音 used to be. Even now that he's dating a movie 星, 星级 his ego must be on a serious high. I was glad Nate was around to give him some perspective about sleeping with the girlfriend and the best-friend.

Dan has real feelings for Vanessa and even if the writers wanted to screen them together, the possibility is blurred 由 the threesome. I was hoping for the threesome to be some sort of dream sequence and where Vanessa pushed Olivia away to get her share could easily enlighten the hilarity of the dream.


Blair, The Play and her Lady Ga Ga Project.

*sigh* Blair is back to using petty stunts, blackmail and foul play into getting the job done, only this time it wasn't fun to watch. I really don't get it anymore. I don't get Blair's obsession to fit in, I don't get why this play was so important to her 或者 even why she would work with Dan and Vanessa and I don't get those minions...

It's just tiring hoping for Blair to have a character change 或者 instead of fitting into NYU, try blackmailing some other schools into an acceptance that 《金装律师》 her. The NYU domination theme is getting really old and boring. There was once a time I would anticipate Blair scenes, now I can't wait for them to end.

I understand using guest 星, 星级 appearances and performances to shape up ratings is what Gossip Girl has succumbed to lately, but does it really help? I may have enjoyed Lady GaGa's performance, but it's like the 显示 is using these stars to define itself as opposed to shining on it's own.


Serena-Tripp and Nate

I was very disappointed in Serena here. She has been on the low many times, but I'm sure she not foolish enough to fall for the married man-marital issues ploy. Did Tripp really get upset about his wife's drowning gimmick to have an affair? I could understand it if he was a guy of morale principles who held the people in his life on a pedestal, but the writers didn't take the time to establish Tripp's character.

Nate is one to be on the sidelines lately. They either need to give him an official storyline 或者 just kick him out of the 显示 until they get one! When they flashed back to Serena and Nate from Season One, I thought they were going to put them back together and that really would be a huge mistake. They could barely make any guy in Serena's life interesting, who knows how they would recreate Serena and Nate without adding a bit of messy on the side.

Jenny-Damian and 'I'm Chuck Bass'

Damian: "What exactly does an Upper East Side 皇后乐队 do? Wear designer clothes, boss people around?"
Jenny: "No, go to parties and openings and stuff."
Damian: "Where 你 wear designer clothes and boss people around? Sounds like kind of a yawn."

I feel really sad for Jenny, she hasn't only 迷失 sight of who she used to be, but she's 迷失 everyone she would consider a true friend. Her brother Dan is too busy with his threesome issues to notice and her dad is completely oblivious. This Ambassador's son might have been a drag, but he did define Jenny's 皇后乐队 演出, gig well - 'kind of a yawn'.

Jenny is just too young to have all this burden on her shoulder. She revealed to Chuck that she was 更多 lonely and bored than when she was in Brooklyn. Blair always had someone to accept her ways non-the-less and Jenny has no one. I knew Chuck would have been the one to pull Jenny out, and I admire his brotherly ways towards her. I still don't buy how clueless Rufus is as a parent towards his daughter and how Lily keeps encouraging Jenny into to stuff she's not really ready for.

This was another one of the 'I'm Chuck Bass' lines, but it felt overused for some reason.

Finally...

Maybe I mentioned this before, but I am getting tired of the same old story lines and there doesn't even seem to be a silver lining. I keep hoping that the following week would surprise me, but it always turns out to be just the same old material as before. It looks like 下一个 weeks 'The Treasure of Serena Madre', Serena and Tripp have this affair thing going, Vanessa's mom is making another appearance. I actually liked Vanessa's mom and she might provide some - thing, but I'm not certain how I feel about that, probably the same ole quality.

Quote:

Nate: "Serena, I didn't tell 你 about Maureen because Tripp's a married man. If 你 go with him now you're going to 交叉, 十字架 the line."
Serena: "Thank 你 for everything, Nate really, but that line just got a little blurry."

Then Wear Glasses!
