Gossip Girl.
I mainlined this show last month (1.3 seasons in couple of weeks!) which is the perfect way to watch this show. It's so much easier to deal with slow moving storylines that way and you have lower standards for episodes because if you don't like it there's a new one coming right up. Fantastic.
I admit I got back into it because I heard murmurings of Dan/Blair which in the past the very idea of it would make me gag. I mean Dan is just so boring and kinda unattractive, but aside from Chuck/Serena it was one of the pairings that it seemed GG would never attempt so I had to see it for novelty alone. Turns out Dan being boring had a lot to do with Serena. All he would do is moon over her and forgive her flakiness. He's actually interesting with Blair. As for attractiveness, a haircut does wonders on the boy. Get to it!
I loved Dan's post-kiss reactions from saying Blair smells good to not minding Blair's scheming (which turned out to be Chuck's). Surprised that Blair turned out to be in the Chuck Zone. Yeah, it could be denial but her interaction with Dan felt really ambigious so I'm a little worried.
I can only hope all the continued allusions to fairytales, princes, and paupers is further proof of caitiedidit's Princes in Disguise theory. And it's not just all about Prince Louis.
Chuck can die in a fire.
Poor Nate needs a storyline. As usual.
But really if anyone deserves a storyline it's Eric. Poor Eric. He's actually the only Van der Woodsen I like.
God, I can't stand Lily, but her line about the legwarmers to Rufus was hysterical. "No, I'm not drunk."
This show loves bringing in the judgmental poor people who turn out to be hypocrites because they eat up the lifestyle and turn out to just as horrible as the UES. Whatever, show. I know that when I see Lily and Serena I feel like telling the proletariat to rise up and revolt! The other UES don't make me feel nearly as class warfarish.
It took me a really long time to realize why Dan was in the family portrait. Haha. Oh yeah, Serena's his stepsister. I can't even pretend that that's why they should never get back together. What with me and my fauxincest sensibilities. I just don't care for her.
Also if anyone is the labrador it's Serena, not Dan. She reminds me of an extremely beloved dog who keeps peeing on the carpet no matter how much you try to train her. Sure she's dumb but she's happy and carefree and she doesn't mean any harm! And oooh, let me show you the 52-carat Diamond Dog Collar I got her! =D
HIMYM.
Loved the opening credits. Band fic, please?
Can the open marriage thing be real? I think Lily'd go after women 80% of the time. Oh and she'd definitely hit on Robin. More.
Loved Barney's version of the night's events and then seeing how it really happened. This is why being drunk is awesome. Reality bending!
Why are they bringing up Barney's feeling for Robin? Why tease me like that? I don't know if the writers know how to write those two in a relationship with each other properly.
Hey, I'd gladly take Michael Trucco as Robin's boyfriend. He needs someone awesome like her after his drama with Kate Reed from Fairly Legal ;) Too bad that got slowed down by Ted's hilarious fake engagement to Robin.
Hawaii Five-O sometimes get the background noise treatment in my house. Last night was that night. Sometimes I question H50's life choices. Diddy, really?
