So the writer's strike has left me in such hardcore TV withdrawal symptoms it's not even funny.. the opportunity to squee over Gossip Girl is one that I cannot pass up ( ... )

Don't feel bad at all that you gave me a marathon reply. I was feeling kind of bad no-one had noticed my wonderful long meta ( ... )

1) Ugh, I know! So annoying. They need to stop. Now.

2) Yeah, I was a Dan/Vanessa fan in the books. I would be on the show but she is so completely too good for him that it's not even funny. TV!Vanessa is amazing.

3) I hadn't previously thought if it in that way, but you're right in that her hazy motives contribute a lot to why she is so intriguing.

4) I'm willing to give him a second zillionth chance mostly because I love the show and don't have much of a choice, but partly because you may be on to something there. If he bounces back and stops brooding I might grow to like him. I really do want to like him. All right, so the other reason I'll never run out of second chances for Nate is the simple fact that Chace Crawford is just SO PRETTY.

5) Leighton makes me smile. I was delighted when I saw that she was cast as Blair. I mean, let's face it: Blair is Carrie Bishop.. an 09er that I found interesting and felt deserved a little more play ( ... )

2). Yep. Would you hate me if I said I'm a Nate/Vanessa fan? *grin*

4) *blush* Well, the prettiness may potentially have something to do with it. Maybe. :)
But yeah - he's just been slipping all of this season - his 'crush', his parents, his girlfriend, his best friend, his grades...
Because of his indecision and his strange desire to want whatever he can't have - it's ruining the security of the life he does have. I think the boy will always be a brooder, but I want to see him bounce back and try and make his own life.

6) I suppose you're right in that TV!Nate is equally as drawn to the security Blair provides.. and.. all right so I maybe hate him a tiny bit less already.. but only a tiny bit.I'll keep working on you, muhahahaha ( ... )

2) Honestly, no. As long as he is not with Blair or Serena. The books filled me with so much resentment for either of those pairings that nothing Josh Shwartz could ever concoct would make me like it. I think I might actually like a Nate/Vanessa. I don't see it happening. Nate/Jenny happened in the books and it was really boring but the TV!Nate/Jenny could be really good. That said, I could totally get behind Nate/Vanessa

I still have my fingers crossed that Chuck will do something redeeming, so I'm not in any position to judge.

Yeah, that was basically what made me get behind Nate/Vanessa - even though it is so rare. I guess I think Vanessa would be the kind to kick him out of his brooding - Blair is too infatuated, and Serena... *rolls eyes*

Chuck? He will. Ed Westwick is too cute, and totally "bad" characters don't make for interesting ones. :)
