Gossip Girl- Gone Maybe Gone

"Crashing parties is one of our favorite past times."

You know they say distance makes the heart grow fonder. This break from Gossip Girl was exactly what was needed for the season to return for its last 10 episodes and be exceptionally, good. However, I believe that anyone who accentuates a Chuck and Blair limo scene with music from The XX is just brilliant. This weeks season premiere was everything that I could have wanted from a premiere and more, especially since the laughs and funny innuendo's did not stop coming.

Returning after such a long hiatus, all the characters reconciled with one mission in mind; find Serena van der Woodsen, who has been missing the whole summer. But each of them had a different reason for wanting to find Serena. Blair felt bad because she kicked her out of her house. Dan didn't really know why he was looking for Serena and Georgina was just looking for a dramatic ending to Dan's book. Either way, when everyone met up in the woods where Serena was last spotted, it was a moment that made me think, "Damn, I'm going to miss this group."

The Blair and Chuck relationship has got to be on everyone's mind. Although I have been rooting for them since the beginning of time, I'll be the first to admit that maybe putting themselves before their romance is a pretty good idea. If you don't love yourself you cannot love anyone else. Chuck doesn't love himself, Blair loves too many people all at once. They are the perfect couple and they will be together by the end of this season. Come on, if we waited it out for so many seasons a couple more episodes wont hurt us. Plus, its not like were not getting any Blair and Chuck action either. That opening sex scene. Oh mah god! I would take a pact like that with Chuck any day. 


Truth be told, Serena is better off on her own. When she was confronted at the door by a crowd of her friends, it was a realization that they only drag her down. Everytime she's around them she is the uglier version of herself. It seems that when she runs away and pretends to be someone else, she's actually doing pretty good. Unfortunately, that's not the way things go and of course, by the end of the episode she found herself back at the loft in Manhattan. Old habits die hard. We didn't learn to much about her new beau Steven, so its only a matter of time until we're able to tell if this will be a long term thing or not. 

As for Lily, its depressing to see her so blind in Bart's shadows. It hasn't even been a full season since she's changed from being this independant and down to earth woman (well as down to earth as an Upper East Sider could be) to a spoiled and stuck up socialite. Clearly, her husband has no love for her. What kind of mother wouldn't even worry about her own child for 4 months?? Pathetic. But I think its safe to say that Rufus is the bigger loser in this situation. Sleeping with Charlie Rhodes? Oh, I'm sorry Ivy Dickens. Disgusting!!! Of course its even sadder because he's getting played. Really, the role of an actress is perfect for Ivy, but this is a plan between her and the real Charlie. Why are they trying to seduce and manipulate poor Rufus?? 

Dan's life has got to be confusing enough, without having to see his father have sex with a crazy bi-polar chick. I mean, dude is in love with Blair. He got dumped by Blair because she's in love with the idea of Chuck. He's writing a tell all book about his ex-gf Serena, who just was missing the whole summer and now has assumed the identity of Sabrina at David and David's wedding, and his partner in crime is Georgina. Where he went wrong, I'm not sure. But say what you want, Georgina brings a lot of spice and excitement. Her antics with Blair and her insanely out of this world ideas are just what this season needed to brighten up.

I'll finish off by touching upon Chuck. His work in Dubai is going to prove to be very useful. Hopefully, it results in the decline of Bart's Empire and makes room for Chuck's empire, the one where Blair is his queen. As for Nate, well I think he's finally getting a story line. As he sold his top breaking story to Gossip Girl, he needs to find a new way to make his magazine stay afloat. I'm sure an underage sex scandal is not the way to go about it, but that seems to be the direction this story is going. After all, what legit boss agree's to grab a drink with a student?? Oh, its great to be back Upper East Side. XoXo
