GOSSIP GIRL…Scandalicious

May 6, 2008 by  

(The following contains spoilers and speculation based on last night’s GOSSIP GIRL. Continue reading at your own risk.)

Despite early comparisons I think it’s safe to say that GOSSIP GIRL is starting to make 90210 look more like Sesame Street and less like the scandalous teen soap it once was. I don’t think Kelly, Donna, Steve and the rest would last one day living on the Upper East Side.

Can we please talk about last night? How sickly delicious was every single moment? From Eric’s outing to the fall of Little J to Georgie’s reveal as Sara? I can see how Gossip Girl keeps herself busy.

For those of you who missed the episode, I’m sorry but there is no way this keyboard of mine could spout out a recap that would do proper justice to this episode. You’re going to have to lift up those couch cushions and find the 99 cents to download it on iTunes. I promise you it will be the best buck you’ll spend all week.

For those of you who did see it, there is much to discuss. Allow me to throw out a few topics to begin our discussion.

Little J’s rise to fame…
…and subsequent fall. Are we really to believe that Jenny has given up on her quest to rule the school? Come on now. She’s had a taste and now it’s in her blood. As Blair said, Little J rises from the ashes. I think she has everyone (maybe ever herself fooled). She’ll be back and bitchier than ever.

He’s coming out…
…and he wants the world to know. Well maybe not the world, but he doesn’t care if Gossip Girl is in the loop. And to those who matter in the Upper East Side, she might as well be the world. Kudos Eric. Be who you are little man. And while you’re at it, why don’t you find a nice boy who maybe doesn’t go to your school and isn’t even in your world. You don’t need that snake, Asher. Besides, he can’t act. Horrible, just horrible.

Great shout out to the internet theories that Eric was indeed Gossip Girl himself. Touche.

Do you remember that time…
…when Serena unknowingly had sex on tape, probably coked up, and then was there and stood by and did nothing when someone died? Remember? Well I can’t say for sure that’s what happened, but I think it’s a pretty good guess based on what we “heard” from Georgie’s blackmail video and Serena’s tearful confession at the end. Hot tamales!! (By the way, WHY oh WHY would you trust Blair with damaging information? That girl can NOT be trusted. S, when will you learn?) This is getting good.

I for one don’t think it’s all that cut and dry. Do you really think S killed someone? Nah. I’m thinking that she thinks she did. But in the end I think we’re going to have Georgie to blame for this one too. That girl needs a good slap upside the head.

Spoilers, Speculation and Theories…Oh My

SPOILER: It looks like the end (or at least the temporary end) is near for Serena and Dan. The previews told us of Serena’s tryst with a new guy. And it won’t be long until Dan does some smooching of his own…with Sara. Ugh! And by that I mean, UGH!

SPECULATION: I think the truth about what happened THAT night will come out but I don’t think we are going to be seeing Law & Order: Gossip Girl anytime soon. I think like any other rich kid, she will find her way out of this one.

THEORY: A stab in the dark, for which I am probably completely wrong, but I could see Rufus making a last ditch attempt to stop Lily’s wedding. But the soon-to-be Mrs. Bass must go through with the ceremony despite her heart’s wishes…if only to use Bart’s money to keep Serena safe.

This episode deserves another re-watch for sure. Please tell me that you all are as caught up in this show as I am! (And if any of you are in your late 20’s or early 30’s please let me know so I don’t feel so alone).

XOXO,
GMMR

    I can’t believe this episode! It was crazy good!
    The last two weeks I have been so mad at Serena for not just telling Dan about Georgie and opening up about her past a little (it is her PAST after all). I guess though that if she really thinks that she KILLED someone, well then that makes some sense as to why she hides it.
    I will be very unhappy next week I can already tell. I love Dan and Serena together.
    “The Ice Princess” is awfully good at being evil.

    I’m 27 and I loved every minute! Seriously, I am hooked. And one thing that was small but stood out for me — when Eric told Serena that no matter what Chuck is about, he’s never judged Eric for who he is. I loved that.

    Side note: My husband overheard the TV while Gossip Girl was on and thought I was watching Sex and the City. 🙂

    Wow…this was easily one of the best teen-drama episodes of all time. I really was not expecting Gossip Girl to be able to pull such a thing off ever. The pacing was really well done, every scene was amazing and overall this episode was just pure entertainment from the beginning to the very deadly end. I´ve always liked GG as a guilty pleasure thing but this episode knocked my socks off.

    It will probably loose some of it´s momentum once Serena´s murder will be solved (accident? Georgina´s sick prank?) similiar to Veronica Mars´ “A trip to the dentist” (Veronica turning out to be not Duncan´s sister) but still…this episode ranks really high up there in the teen-drama top 5 episodes.

    GMMR…if you ever do a top ten list of best teen-drama episodes, don´t forget this one (along with VM´s “Trip to the dentist” & “Leave it to Beaver”, Everwood´s “Unveiling”).

    Great.

    What i do not realize is in reality how you might be no longer truly a lot a lot more neatly-appreciated than you may be appropriate now. You might be so intelligent. You realize therefore considerably in relation to this matter, produced me personally believe it from plenty of varied angles. Its like females and males don’t appear to be fascinated except it?s something to accomplish with Lady gaga! Your own stuffs outstanding. At all times deal with it up!
