Gossip Girl's New Twist... 3 Words: Oh. My. Gawd.
Lol. Okay that last word I'm not so sure about... but yeah the show sent me reeling. Multiple times. If you haven't watched the eppy, now would be a good time to look away and somehow click that "Back" button on your browser. Spoilers run amok ahead.
Okay so I've done my part & warned the unsuspecting... Now, for the rant.
Ok. Rufus & Lily revisited - Is it just me or has the separation caused their relationship to fizzle? Maybe it's me. I'm hoping it's me, because Lufus was one of the show's squeee-worthy, if not best, pairing. Or the blame could be placed on the show's other storylines. All the craze & heightened excitement the others have may have overshadowed the Lufus plot. Anyway... Here comes the emotional 180-degree turn. Blair. I adored every bit of her this ep. That comeback probably inspired every vengeance-seeker out there to haul ass & get scheming. She was soooo intense and cunning. Thank you for stomping Lil Jenny's heart out & looking fabulous while doing it, B. I'd worship her evil, manipulative and yet brilliant ways if they weren't so damn scary. Smart, beautiful, well-connected, witty & cunning - tt's no surprise why she's the Queen B. I think it's time we bow to her, people. The girl deserves it.... Also, this episode could have used more Chuck & Nate. Lol. Random.
Then there was Eric. Everyone knew about Eric. No surprise there. The look he had when he was looking at Jenny & Asher was a dead giveaway. Total hurt. I hate Asher. Not for what he did to Jenny - that girl needed some major karma to rip her overinflated ego into shreds - but for what he did to Eric. Of all people! I can't believe sweet & sensitive Eric got stuck with such a loser. So proud of what he did at the party. That was brave, even for a fictional character. hehe
But it wasn't the coming out that made me go "WTF!!" though. Come on, admit it. You either cursed, screamed or froze at that moment. Oh yes, that little drama of Eric's was well played, but nothing beats the twist at the ending. I totally expected something else. That something? Well my hunch was leaning somewhere in the vicinity of raunchy videos & a drunk/drugged Serena. But murder? OMG. OMG. OMG. Sweet! The episode was great in itself, but the ending is what'll make Episode 16 the talk of the town. Murder?! Who knew? Apparently, Georgina did... hehe, but seriously? It made me freak.
I have to give props to those writers and publicity people. They do know how to spin a story like no other. Before & during the hiatus, everyone was so caught up with the gay bomb" and Georgina's arrival, that you just kind of put the thought of Serena's troubles on the backburner. Sure we were all itching for juicy details about the deal with G & S but no one really focused on the root of it (why the hell did S leave & all) because we were caught up in the drama of the moment. There were other distractions of course. Eric, anyone? How about Nate & V? Yes, yes, nice move writers. I didn't see THAT one coming. Now I guess I'll be waiting all week for all this to play out.
I don't know which is more exciting - Dan's reaction to this whole scandal, learning what really happened, finding out what was on that vid, everyone hearing about it (or seeing it?), or watching the Blair-Chuck-Nate team-up work on helping S. Hmmm... All of them have potential. Especially loving the idea of a B-C-N reunion. I love how S brings the best out of these 3. Bravo, Serena! Let's just hope S dodges jail time so she can hang around with them once again. I can't wait... Until next week, let the UES madness ensue!!
