Someone must be made to account for me not getting to see Chuck Bass acting in the senior class play! Why deny me of that awesomeness? Especially if it's only to make me watch Chuck muddle his way through yet another week of this crappy escort/secret society plot line.
Highlights and observations:
- They're doing The Age of Innocence. Ha. That's funny.
- Nate: "I still can't believe Chuck got a doctor to diagnose him with acute stage fright. Should have gone with mercury poisoning."
- Blair: "But really, S, aren't you sick of brooding artists?"
- Dan and Rachel are acting out the Police song "Don't Stand So Close To Me." The one about the young teacher and the student and strong words in the staff room.
- What the hell else does Vanessa have to do but make a documentary about the senior play?
- Why does Chuck seem to be flirting with Mr. Campbell? Ha ha.
- Carter! That Sebastian Stan is everywhere these days.
- Seriously, we don't get to see Chuck's thespian skills just so he can do more of this stupid escort/secret society storyline all by himself? No fair.
- No, Jenny, don't pass notes between Dan and his teacher girlfriend. You know better.
- How many times has Yale granted and rescinded Blair's acceptance now? This is ridiculous. Doesn't Yale have anything better to do than mess with one girl? If they're really this bored, the could help Vanessa with her documentary.
- Gossip Girl: "When God closes a door, he opens a play."
- Blair: "No, leave it. She'll need as much padding as possible."
- How could Julian not be paying attention to Serena? She doesn't seem to have put her shirt all the way on.
- Vanessa: "Yeah. And I'm totally annoying." Finally, she gets it!
- Holy moly. Is Rufus actually going to act like a father? Um, well, kind of... He did better than he usually does, but he still left a little to be desired. I mean, she might not have gotten the hint from his scene of returning the key. He probably should have thrown in a "Stay the hell away from my kid, OR ELSE!" for good measure.
- Serena's not a very good actress.
- Um, I can tell you a few reasons why The Great Gatsby film stunk...
- Ha ha ha, poor Nate! He's so gullible.
- Wow, now somebody's after Serena now too! This is getting interesting.
- Um, shocker. Of course Carter's up to no good. Duh, Chuck. You used to be smarter than this.
- Blair: "You're right. I'm an actress. No, I'm a seagull!"
- I kind of want Dan Humphrey's head on a platter too. Just in general.
- Should a teacher who was just accused of having an affair with a student be showing off that much cleavage? Geez!
- Um, just try to stay away from her Dan. I bet you can do it. Or at the very least don't screw her in the costume closet! Argh! Stupid, stupid, stupid.
- Nelly Yuki is really selling it ;-)
- Julian: "My friends, you are still in labor!"
Nelly: "I fell like I'm in labor..." - Dan (to Blair in the play): "You might be the most honest woman I've ever met."
- The scene with Dan and Blair in the carriage was hilarious.
- Nate's on-stage meltdown was great. Especially when Blair played along. Suddenly, they made the play interesting.
- Good riddance, Vanessa. Nate's so over this.
- Hey, the professional escort was just using you, Chuck! Imagine!
- Dan (to Blair): "And we had sex in the costume closet, so you can do whatever you want with that."
- Geez, Vanessa, just go the hell away. Oh, Nate, don't take her back. It's not worth it.
- I enjoyed seeing Chuck being let in by Dorota in her fluffy pink bathrobe.
- Is Blair drinking that martini, or just sitting there with it?
- Frankly, I'm not bummed that the Chuck and Blair reunion isn't going to happen tonight. If the great Chuck/Blair reunion ended up happening as the result of a random escort/secret society plot line that went nowhere, I'd be peeved.
- Next week's promo: Is Blair taking her rejection from Yale as an excuse to bed as many boys (who aren't Chuck) as possible? Both Carter and Nate next week? Goodness, Miss Blair!

I think it's so funny that Darota follows Blair anywhere, even backstage.
ReplyDeleteWhere does Vanessa get money from to skip 'work' and do her 'films'?
Can you imagine having a fling with an 18 year old???
That note pass-off was so not subtle...
The secret society storyline makes me want to barf, and the actress they got acts so poorly that she makes me want to shoot myself.
Vanessa finally realizes she's annoying haha
all of a sudden the storylines are getting kind of vague and easy to shut down and change, moreso than usual, or is it just me?
Vanessa as Cyrano? Is it worth that to hook up with an asshole?
Hahahahahahha best line: "I'm an actress, no, I'm a seagull." obscure references to the Notebook?
When did Dan become a pseudo-seducer?
hahahahhahaha the director's gay.
Even Rachel abbreviates her name to just 'R'?
I'm kind of disappointed by the episode. It seems like they can't figure out where to go next so they're just pulling at straws and trying to tie up loose ends.
Haha, no I can't really imagine having an affair with an 18-year-old. Rachel apparently doesn't have our qualms about that.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Rachel signed the letter "R" because she was trying to maintain some secrecy about their relationship. Because, you know, she'd probably never get another teaching job again if people found out. She's so dumb. And why did Dan tell her about Serena and the Yale press release? Or about Blair and Lord Marcus? What did that have to do with anything?
I think they have a lot of wild stuff planned for the end of the season and that this episode was just kind of filler. I think it will get better.
