I finally succumbed and watched Gossip Girl from the beginning, and I frakking LOVE it! It's ridiculous and soapy and pure pleasure. It's like a big warm dark chocolate brownie: delicious, rich and bad for you. How could I not love this show?
And of course, I heart Chuck/Blair so damn much. Maybe that's lame and too easy a couple to ship, but I don't care. They had me from the get-go. Individually these two are fun and a delight to watch, but together they are practically sinful.
This scene made me start watching the show in the first place.
I had to include this variation of the first one because a) I was having too much fun recoloring these pics of these beautiful people, and b) they do the best simultaneous bitchfaces I've ever seen. :)
And these two are just pretty. My god, can they pull off formal wear well!
Check out
this scene to see why Chuck/Blair are so damn much fun. It's one of my favorites.
The
TimesOnline had this incredibly perfect thing to say about Gossip Girl:
Some shows don’t put on heirs and graces; they know exactly what they are. Gossip Girl is a vacuous strumpet decked to the nines in her Gucci rags as she sidles along the high society of the Upper East Side. We know this and we still love it, which is why the show should be everyone’s guilty little secret.
Hee!
How awesome was last Thursday's Bones? There are three new episodes in five days and somehow I only manage to catch one. Sad, but boy was that a good one to see. So it's Booth who is 'acutely aware' of his attraction to Brennan? Read EW's take on it
here and watch the amazing last scene.
Also, I love Sweets so much. He's adorable and quirky and somehow seems to be strangely into every odd thing that comes up in a case that Booth and Bones know nothing about. Plus, I think they just like to play dress up with him. :)
OMFG was Chuck sooooo good! Chuck and Sarah are adorable and hawt all at once, and I knew Casey loved them. And how awesome was Awesome this ep? I think he deserves to be called by his name now. Devon is now on the same level as Morgan with me, and that's huge, 'cause I adore Morgan. :)
I swear, at some point in the next week, I will finally finish my picspam/review of the last two amazingly epically fantastic TSCC episodes. Until then, I will continue to watch some crazy good, creative videos like these three [all contain season finale spoilers]:
--
Breathe Me by karakyoumaou. Its focus is the last half of season 2, and it's bloody frakking brilliant! Watch, you won't be sorry, I promise.
--
Speeding Cars by
ana_jo. A great tribute to the cast through both seasons set to a perfect song.
--
Bang by
twistdmentality. Fantastic John/Cameron video that highlights how awesomely screwed up their relationship is.
And I'm loving these pictures from the premiere of Thomas Dekker's new movie 'Laid to Rest.' I love him and his adorable weirdness. :)
They are just too cute together and I think they need to have babies now.
Thomas agrees! <-- cutest interview EVER!
Summer Glau has officially replaced Katee Sackhoff as my current girl crush. Much like my old crush Jennifer Garner, Katee will always hold a special place in my heart, but Summer is it now. Look how adorable she is!
Of course, my female friend who likes girls full-time and shares my love of TSCC tells me Lena Headey is way hotter and that I should get better taste. Whatever.
Hopefully I'll have some fic up very soon as I am trying to work through my issues with the loss of BSG and the possible ending of TSCC, and I'll need to commemorate my new-found love of Gossip Girl with icons. I feel the need to be productive.
Hope everyone has a great week! :)
