Gossip Girl- Episode 5.10: Something About Town Cars and Boys and Chivy Continuing to Ruin Lives
I should be studying right now, and I will be soon, but I just had the latest episode of Gossip Girl on my brain so I just had to get it all out so I can get back to my school work. Here it is:
This episode was one of those love/hate episodes for me. After thinking about it, I think I actually loved it!
Glad "Inside" is a hit agin. I'm not sure how that happend from Twitter... I guess Katy Perry has a lot of power in the literary world.
I'm not a fan of a romantic Dair relationship but I love these two together and tonight really solidified that. Dan putting aside his feelings and wants for Blair's happiness was really great to see and I now have a renewed sense of love for the guy. This is more that I can say for Serena however.
At first I believed Serena was for team Louis because she wanted Dan AND because she actually believed Louis would make Blair happy. But the more I thought about it, doesn't Serena know how Louis treated Blair and all that he's done? I know Chuck isn't the greatest person in Serena's eyes and I could see why she would push for Louis but as the episode went on I realised she was more for anyone who wasn't Dan.
How sad, really? Your best friend? I get that Dan is the best thing to walk into your life, but really? You're going to push this jealous, possessive and controlling misguided fool on your friend to get him back? Really? I was not impressed. Serena continues to be dead to me.
As does Charlie/Ivy. I still don't care about this story line. I know she won't be gone for good (she's a season regular) and her mini confession to Rufus won't mean much in the long run. The only thing that interested me was Max and whatever he did with Trip in attempt to take down Chivy.
Now, I'm assuming Trip payed Max to tamper with the car that Nate was supposed to be in. This is kind of a stretch but I can believe that Tripp could be THAT desperate (he ran off on his wife with Serena, he's obviously not all there). I guess Tripp payed Max a generous amount and then skipped town. What I don't get is how this ties in with Max wanting to get back at Chivy? I hope this will be explained in January because I'm not getting it.
Moving on with this conundrum, Nate and Chuck & Blair get into the wrong cars (the dangers of having chauffeur) leaving Chair to be chased by the paparazzi in a tampered car. The last 20 minutes of the episode felt very Diana and Dodi (I had a mild obsession with the "People's Princess" a few years back) especially when the car crashes, SHOCKER!
Now Blair loses the baby, not said, but we all know and Chuck's status is unknown, but it's not good.
Obviously the man's not going to die but whatever the outcome, it is going to interfere with our Chair bliss. I'm a Chair fan and their reunion didn't quite feel like the BIG reunion I've been waiting for. It was reminiscent of when they got together at the end of last season, it was just too easy. I knew this wasn't it, so now I'm wondering what's next. There still is a wedding... unless it's not Louis she's marrying. But then why does she run away... Dan? I don't know but I do know if the GG writers pull an amnesia kind of story line, I will turn off my tv and just walk away. I wouldn't be able to cope.
The last thing I want to mention is this Diana/ Jack thing. At first I believed they were actually behind this whole "accident" and was irate. After thinking a bit I remembered that Diana has some sort of connection to Chuck, or at least Bart. The only other person who would know of this secret (other than Grandpapa I guess) would be Jack Bass. Somehow the results of tonight's episode fall into plan with whatever these two are hiding. I'm intrigued. for now.
All in all, I'm really satisfied with this episode. And it's got me looking forward to 2012. I figure the CW wants me to be on edge about the state of Chuck's mortality but I can assure them I won't be losing sleep, wondering if he'll live or not. What I am looking forward to is:
- What Tripp and Max's agreement was (if it was anything more)
- This Diana/ Jack thing that Grandpapa may or may not know about (the woman could more than one secret I suppose)
- Does Grandpapa have an ulterior motive, he usually does
- What happens when everyone finds out Chivy sent the blast to GG (prob nothing, since she's "untouchable")
- What happens when they learn the car was tampered with (I assume there will be an investigation... but then again this is GG, so...)
- Of course the future of Dair (friendship, sorry) and Chair... don't care much for... Lair?
- What will happen with Dan's hair?
- Will Serena ever get a soul?
Onward to 2012!!
I also want to add that this REALLY should be the last season of this show. It's all wrapping up (somewhat) nicely and another season would just drag on what really doesn't need to be, and in the end ruin the show.
