Gossip Girl: biggest bunch of self-absorbed twits you'll ever meet
This is Dan. He is like an uglier, younger, less talented Elijah Wood. I think we are supposed to root for this young man and his crush on Serena but I want him to be eaten by a snake.
This is Nate. He is very very handsome and very very dim. Both these qualities leave him singularly equipped to become a gigolo for a rich older woman, which is what apparently happens to him in S2.
This is Chuck. He looks like a gargoyle, smokes up, and loves to dispense bon mots. Clearly he thinks he is in Igby Goes Down. I foresee a future for him discovering true love with a hunky poolboy named Diego, sometime after his fourth divorce.
This is Blair. She is auditioning for Paris Hilton, minus the blonde hair and the porn tape (though seeing the way she was jumping Nate in the middle of the party, there might be the latter in her future). If there is anyone on this show who screams 'future plastic surgery fangirl' it is her. Also, she clearly buys her clothes at Harajuku.
This is Serena. She is blond and therefore virtuous. I think she deserves to be stuck with Dan because they are equally dull. Or Nate...she can pet him and take him for walks and maybe get him a doggie bowl.
This is Jenny, Dan's younger sister. She is the only someone normal here and I think should get off this show stat.
Oh, look, a TV parent! Which means he will be utterly ineffective.
Nate practices for his future profession:
And Chuck tries a little date rape. Nothing like those oldfashioned boys, is there?
I think there was only so much vapidity I could take and I turned the ep halfway in. Let's see if I am brave enough to continue :)
I hate all of them, half the first ep in. If I absolutely must watch high school students, I much prefer this:
