Not a lot of Gossip Girl thoughts this week, other than these:
* The Thanksgiving dinner was the ultimate Gossip Girl scene in that all the dialogue consisted solely of lies, accusations, and revelations. Plus, I loved watching all the players slowly coalesce. It was like an event comic.
* Vanessa’s mom is awesomely horrible. Bitching Vanessa out for using the woord “doorman,” labeling Thanksgiving a front for the food industry…just magnificent. She’s like what the South Park morons think all liberals are like.
* Chuck Bass, Voice of Morality. How wonderful is his transformation into the Cravated Crusader? I really want to watch him take down a crime boss.
* Rufus needs to learn that when using video chat, the other person can see you wincing.
* Good for Serena’s mom for telling her she’s not welcome there anymore. But I really feel for Serena–being a slut is how she expresses herself! Parents just don’t understand.
* Blair suddenly encouraging Serena to go with Trip? Whaaat? Boo to that. And Serena fails at being a heterosexual woman by choosing Trip over Nate. But don’t worry Nate, Chuck’s there to comfort you…the only way he knows how.
I agree that the Thanksgiving was the ultimate expression of all that is wonderful about Gossip Girl. Plus it allowed me to tally up that at the table was…
-Blair, who has hooked up with Nate and Chuck
-Chuck, who has hooked up with Blair and Vanessa and tried to rape Jenny
-Jenny, who was almost raped by Chuck and hooked up with Nate
-Nate, who has hooked up with Blair, Serena, Jenny and Vanessa
-Vanessa, who has hooked up with Nate, Chuck and Dan
-Dan, who has hooked up with Vanessa and Serena
-Serena, who has hooked up with Nate, Dan and Trip
And Eric.
It’s downright eerie how much I agree with this. I would also add that Rufus has at times this season gotten so bumbling and cuddly I have him suspected of being some superhero’s alter ego.
