* Back by popular demand! Not even kidding.

* After watching the season premiere last week I was pretty sure I wasn’t gonna do this again. I’ve got a lot on my plate and that thing was kinda lackluster. I appreciate Serena riding a horse like Gandalf or Goldfrapp, but it was mostly lame shit like the done-in-one non-story with Chuck and Blair’s roleplaying and Vanessa getting angry at Dan for, essentially, being a character on Gossip Girl. Whatever coolness Vanessa’s vagina absorbed from Chuck’s penis last season got burned through pretty quickly. I was glad they seemed to be introducing new main-ish characters for what seemed like the long haul–Chuck and Serena’s secret brother, Georgina, Carter, that redhaired girl from the CW show that got cancelled last year–but other than that, meh.

* This, on the other hand, was more like it. Backstabbing, secret plots, hookups, comedies of manners, Chuck referring to his apartment as “the Basscave,” someone asking Blair her opinion on Battlestar Galactica…swell!

* I fully support Deorgina, or Georgdana, or whatever you call it. But the funny thing was that when Blair asked Dan to take her to the party, I was ready to fully support Dair or Blan or whatever you’d call it. I realized that I’m basically just very, very excited by any new pairing. If Cherena or Serenuck or whatever you’d call it happens, I’m going to be fucking thrilled about that too. Not as thrilled as I would be by Chate/Nuck, but thrilled.

* I thought having all of Blair’s usual crazy snobby stuff turn her into a pariah in the college world of pizza and big red plastic cups was really funny and clever.

* College girls of the world, please don’t follow Dan’s advice about not dressing like Blair dresses. Dress like Blair dresses.

* Oh Nate, keeping the boarding pass in your pocket? You are too beautiful for this world.

* Serena is getting really, really annoying. Poor, misunderstood Serena, doing all kinds of stupid impulsive annoying shit and then later standing there looking and sounding half asleep issuing explanations and pseudoapologies while barely making eye contact with the aggrieved parties. If she keeps screwing shit up for Chuck I hope he has her assassinated.

* I liked how when the Bible-thumpers showed up they ruined everything. Because they do!

* Can anyone figure out why Secret Brother gave Vanessa a bum steer on that professor and then flipped out about it? How does that advance his plot? The Missus and I were totally baffled.

* Man, Phoenix can’t whore “1901” out hard enough, can they?
