I've given it some thought, sir, and I think it needs another day of thought.
Julie Gonzalo was always beautiful. But I LOVE her with the short brunette bob in Eli Stone. I thought she was great in the whole episode. She had perfect tone for the show and was a hilariously bad lawyer (with good intentions). She amused me even though some of the mistakes she made in court were obvious (leading the witness!!! And no one objected!). I didn't care that the court scene was so bad because she was so endearingly hopeful and hopeless. (Plus, it'd be like expecting legal realism on Ally McBeal with Ooga Chugga baby dancing in the background)
Brunette Julie looks mature and different to the many blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauties in Hollywood these days. She joins my list of famous "blondes" I prefer as brunettes (even though they're pretty both ways). The list also inclues Reese Witherspoon, Charlize Theron, Sarah Michelle Gellar and, more recently, Julie Benz.
Anyone else sick of platinum blonde? It's so....Hollywood. The degree of blonde is usually fake and when it's white blonde I'm reminded of bleach and plastic boobs. Not all the girls I listed are natural blondes and yet a lot of actresses go blonde so they get work.
OMIGOD!!! Victor Garber singing FREEDOM. That scene owns me!! LMAO
I just got this weird feeling I have Julie's name wrong...in which case sorry - I'm a space head.
Chuck and Blair 2.12
I'm going to avoid discussion of this show because I read the comments on the episode thread and thought the episode would suck from the way Chuck/Blair fans were reacting. But I liked their scenes and the set up for Chuck's reaction in the next episode (although it was odd we didn't see him get the news in this episode when he's the one it would effect the most).
It was obvious there were going to be either a) Blair/Chuck dopplegangers or b) Blair and Chuck would show up with no spare date because they know they're perfect for each other. Nonetheless I was amused because they play off each other well. I liked the way Chuck stared uncomfortably at the dopplegangers when they returned to kissing and he was alone. It was sad and a little pathetic that they both kept staring at Beta Chuck/Blair kissing. You're so pathetic for each other. I'd say just do it already but I like how screwed up you both are so NEVER do it. Never ruin this for me with yucky canon shmoop fests that will destroy you both.
The part of me that wants to yell "DO IT RIP HIS CLOTHES OFF!" did come out at the way Blair stared at Chuck when he told her to shut up. Those were some mighty strong sex eyes. I never realized it before, but I think she's his submissive. Is that why this relationship works? Because no one else in that school could possibly dominate Blair Waldorf? ;) lol
But seriously....
I was more interested in the way his father died. He already believed his father blamed him for his mother's death and I think he blames himself for some reason I'm not sure we know yet (do correct me if I'm wrong). Now he called his father to let him know about Lily and his father ends up dead. Who does he blame? Himself or Lily? Well...bring on the vengeance, I say. Chuck for all intents and purposes is a KID and what did Lily think she was doing chaperoning that dance and sorting out issues there where all the kids could see, including her husband's kid. Blegh.
UNLEASH THE EVIL. lol
Inside, I think he's going to blame himself and the Chuck who flirted with Blair in this episode is going to go okay-love-you-bye-bye. I HATE that yet another of the male characters I love is now an orphan. LOL Do I have some kind of kink??? You can't really blame me for this when half the time they are orphaned when I already like them but STILL. One day I'll type up a list of all the poor-little-orphan-boys I've wanted to snuggle and marvel at how sick I am.
Even though I'm miffed he's dead for the above reason, I think it will have good dramatic potential if they use. Hell hath no fury like a Chuck Bass scorned after all. This has potential to cause rifts between Chuck and Lily. Consequently Chuck and Serena. Consequently Chuck and Dan (well...a bigger one). The more interesting potential conflict would then be between Serena and Blair. If Chuck gets dark and vengeful over the reason his dad was rushing and got killed - will she support him? Or have the back of her innocent bff? We all know Chuck has the potential to take out everyone in a distraught state. He took down Blair HARD when she broke his heart in season one (I still maintain she was hurting him first and then he went evil genius on her in a way she couldn't hope to match).
I vote for any plot that puts Chuck in a position to cause maximum fucked up damage. Thus I am behind this move. Especially on the heels of yet more confirmation of Chuck/Blair KNOWING they are perfect for each other but being too Chuck/Blair to do anything about it.
