It took me about twelve million years to watch up to this point in Gossip Girl. idk why, it's just been murder to get through. Anyway my "notes" this time are completely out of ctrl. It's the epitome of tl;dr.
2x10 Bonfire of the Vanity
- EL SICILIAN!
- Dan is the most ridiculously loathesome person EVERRRRRR. S T F U AND G T F O HUMPHREY.
- Aaron Rose is a weenie.
- Blair looks amaaaze at her birthday party. also her pushing everyone over on the couch is the best thing ever.
- it is seriously distracting, how pretty Leighton Meeeeeeeeeeeeester is. I can't focus on the plot with her perfect doll eyelashes and mouf!!
- I hope Blair and the Sicilian eventually come to ado~re each other! Blair's almost there, or she would be if it weren't for her dad; lulz her soppy *__* to that absurd Golden Lion story and her admiration of a fellow schemer.
- DIE DIE DIE DAN, JUST DIE DIE DIE. WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT OMMMMMMMGGGGGGG. AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL RELIEVED THAT HE DIDN'T GO THROUGH WITH IT??? I AM JUST DISAPPOINTED THAT A PIANO FULL OF DOUCHEBAGS DIDN'T FALL ON TOP OF HIS GREASY HEAD. AUUUUUGHHHH DIE DAN DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE (ps, )
- this episode. is. so. fucking. boring. fuck this shit, I'm skipping scenes.
- I don't remember, nor do I particularly care, what's going on with Jenny, but she looks TERRIBLE. TERRRRRRIBLE. who lets her out of the house looking like that, much less BE FILMED?? this is a crime of negligence. all it takes is the silence of good people, y'all.
- aw Chuckles. the hockey game!! is Chuck going to get a puppy next?!
- I like the differences in Blair and Serena's phone call. Blair all done up in her skirt, sitting on the stairs; Serena lounging in the kitchen, eating grapes. lulz the 60s. she'd do well there.
- omg Aaron Rose is one manipulative weenie. and Serena is a drip for not throwing something at his head and shouting 'what the FUCK are you even TALKING ABOUT???' what does being a ~free spirit have to do with going out with a privileged hipster weenie bag who will pretend that his cheating is really your fault? even if he does mumble out of one side of his mouth like you do.
- Blake Lively's legs are so perfect. okay tbh her whole body is like textbook amazing.
- wait, that's the end of the episode? wtf
- oh I forgot to care that this is the episode where Agnes flames out (haw haw get it). I really liked her but it all happened in a big boring pile of Jenny politics so... I don't really care.
- it's weird how television messes with your morals. the objectively right thing is for Bart's arson whatever story to come out, but since Chuck loves his daddy sooooo much and because Dan is a prick on a dick on a stick and trying to publish the story for COMPLETELY IDIOTIC AND INFURIATING reasons, the right thing becomes Dan being run over by a train and Chuck getting a pat on the head from his dad. OH WELL.
- I think Rufus is being an idiot parent, but I see where he's coming from. on the other hand, Jenny would be doing herself a disservice by not realizing her "genuine talent" (I'll believe it when I see it, Gossip Girl) and her super life-or-death dream, and she needs to manipulate and lie and eat babies to make it in this risky biz. look at how hard she had to work to get where she is now, in five pounds of crackwhore eye make-up and zero designs to show. whatever, her storyline is boring.
2x11 The Magnificent Archibalds
- I can't believe how long it's taking me to watch this fucking season. ommmmggahhhhh
- SEASON ONE PREVIOUSLIES! hey I REALLY MISS season one. especially the clothes. especially BLAIR'S clothes. golden memories~
- "But on the upper east side, Thanksgiving returns to its roots: lying, manipulation, and betrayal." and racial fuckery. that was a total set-up. Gossip Girl, I can't ignore your 12000% white cast if you say things like this.
- oh jesus. "and from what we hear, just like the Indians, someone else is being pushed out of their home." look, not that I don't think Blair's emotional crisis of the week is important, but could you refrain from comparing that to the beginning of the SYSTEMATIC CULTURAL AND PHYSICAL GENOCIDE OF ENTIRE NATIONS OF PEOPLES??? that isn't even the start of how fucked up and unnecessary that comment was. just, why would you even?!?! christ on wheels.
- umm anyway... speaking of season one Blair clothes! yes! Serena looks all season one too. ah good times.
- Serena, you fool! Aaron Rose is a cheating hipster emotional bullshit spin... guy. just be ready to kill him in the face when you FINALLY realize that he's a scummy asshole. he is Dan, upgraded into Smooth Douchebag!! don't make the same mistake twice!! do not internalize!
- Dan's stupid face omg. on the other hand, Serena's hair is sooo pretty. *______*
- oh is Dan still being a butt about Nate kissing Jenny? who am I kidding.
- omg are Chuck and Nate back together?! oh no they're not. :( Chuck, use your head! Nate wants what he can't have; YOU have to make HIM jealous. duh.
- (omg I would pee my pants if that happened. 'Nathaniel, this is Cornelius Obadiah Waspington the Fourth, my NEW BEST FRIEND. he sleeps in the trundle bed under my bed and I ride my limo slowly next to curb while he jogs around the park. oh wait, isn't that what YOU used to do? hm. well, look at the time, we're late to our drunken squash game and spa appointment. ta.')
- Eric's hair looks good! I'm glad he got those highlights sorted out during his 9 episode absence.
- HOW ON EARTH DOES ANYONE TAKE JENNY SERIOUSLY WHEN SHE LOOKS LIKE THAT?? LOLOL, I love Jacob from TWoP's description: "Jenny and Eric meet with a lawyer to discuss the emancipation, and one look at Jenny's psycho hair and space-cocaine raccoon eyes tells her all she needs to know. "
- whatever Vanessa. where exactly is Nate living again? I forgot.
- Rufus, you're so cute and stupid.
- I love how Lily calls Chuck 'Charles'.
- OH SHIT, THE CAPTAIN!
- Nate's parents are idiots. it's nice to see where it comes from. the Captain looks skinnier, which is nice touch. or maybe I've just been remembering him as super bloated.
- wtf is that Serena's disembodied head pasted on Aaron's wall? I hate hipsters.
- "Remember: Serena doesn't share!" "Remember: Blair should learn to." nawwwww fronds!
- Eric is as cute as a button. omg look at his coat and his scarf. agggh!
- aw Bart is Big Brothering for Eric. that's creepy-cute.
- ahahahahahah Chuck!! he is like SUPER himself, with the smoking jacket and the random woman with the giant white bow on her French maid uniform and the martini clinking. what a diva.
- I like Chuck and Eric's mutual fondness and faint mentor-protege relationship, but: stop eyefucking him, Chuck.
- lulz wat? tee-totalling! "I'm the right girl for the job." nooooo Serena! ugh now I feel like their relationship is going to get gross. she's lying about her ~past again and he's all 'I need you to keep me on the straight and narrow' and yick, he's such a weenie douchebag anyway. get out of there, Serenaaaa
- seriously, Eric looks so much better with the dark hair. he doesn't even look weird anymore! just cute all the way!
- sometimes I think that Eleanor is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from tearing off Blair's head and eating it to make her behave.
- where would this show be if anyone respected other people's privacy and personal property? ps I love Lily.
- Rufus is soooo cute and sooo clueless about Jenny. but he knows how to handle Dan stuff okay. I guess mostly because Dan's an idiot and all his problems are easy to solve if you're not douching it up? "I forgot to look for pecans." ~skates away
- ugh Dan do you have to fuck EVERYTHING up?
- I love Blair's shirt.
- why is Vanessa butthurt with Nate? oh right because Jenny and Nate's lives are all about her, like they each don't have big life-altering problems that make her seem petty and stupid.
- I like Nate looking down while he talks. and he looked really good in that scene. even if he looks like Zac Efron.
- CHUCK IS AWESOME IN THIS EPISODE. and that dress is hideous. and Serena is making a mistake with this 'pretend I wasn't uh WHO I WAS' thing.
- "You have my word. Whatever that's worth." I REPEAT: AWESOME.
- nice lying, Serena.
- aw Lily is honestly freaking out about Jenny's emancipation papers.
- HEY A MINORITY!
- lololol a fucking vault. LOL GOLD BARS. oh man, Eric is so cute. I love him.
- Chuck and VANESSA of all people are the only ones who can help Nate? damn Serena and Blair just fell completely out of his life.
- LOLOLOLOLxINFINITY. I HAVE TO BREAK THIS SCENE DOWN.
1. DOROTA'S RINGTONE IS SLAVE 4 U
2. her coat-cloak with the fur collars and she's still wearing her maid headband hairpiece thing!!
3. "It is Thanksgiving --" "AND WE HAVE NOTHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR!!" LOOOOOOLLLL I LU BLAIR.
4. aw baby!Blair and Dorota feeding ducks at the pond!
5. "Fine. I'm not a monster; I won't deny the ducks their dinner. But if you look like you evEN ENJOY ONE SECOND OF IT, WE'RE LEAVING." LOOOOOOOOOLLLOLOL.
6. DOROTA ROLLING HER EYES. Dorota, you're a saint.
- I love Lily. Cluelessly sipping her champagne! "Why, yes it is, Aaron. Good eye."
- Jenny and Eric look like two kids playing house or something. they look so wee! especially Eric sitting behind the desk.
- Dan and Aaron are like the battle of limp dicked assholes.
- why does Dan always have to sound so condescending even after he's done a nice thing? ughhhhh haaaate
- oh Eric you're SO ADORABLE.
- look down more often, Nate! it is incredibly endearing. aw he is so pretty and conflicted and overwhelmed. it's a gr8 look on him. people should bombard him with wtf news all the time!
- Jenny's monologue is really true to her age. and oh Rufus, that was a gamble. look at your daughter. LOOK AT HER. look at what she did to her FACE. no amount of love can bring someone who looks like that back. btw Jenny, that was cold.
- van der Woodsen smackdown! I love the van der Woodsens as a unit. I LOVE LILY. she's just like "fuck this. kids, let's bounce. and screw you too, Bart."
- omg Nate looks amazing in this scene. especially with the gradually increasing voice. he's all mature and shit. *__*
- that is a GIANT cup.
- awmg Eric and Lily. "I look forward to talking about it when you're ready." "How did you get to be so wise?" "The nanny." okay I love that whole thing, especially Lily's laugh. Eric is the best. it's hard to pin the van der Woodsens down exactly. Lily wasn't a good mom in the past, and everyone acknowledges that, but the kids forgive her for it and she loves them and they love her, and she's just kind of rueful and the kids are wry. and man, I love Lily. I just like looking at her, it's so calming.
- aw. that was a nice, if weird, Jenny-Blair moment.
- Vanessa and Nate both look really good.
- awww, now they're back together. I'm glad they made up. Chuck/Nate... Chate... Nuck... Barchibald... Archibass...
- AWWW HUGS! yay Jenny!
- Jenny looks YEARS better and younger and everything without that grease around her eyes. Vanessa is a butt for being pissy with a fucking 15 yr old for however long she was mad. look at her! "If it's any consolation, I don't think he ever really liked me anyway." aww Jenny :( of course Vanessa has to 'forgive' her in the most condescending way possible. ughhh
- first, I have zero recollection of this letter being written. second, Nate has cute handwriting. third, FUCK YOU VANESSA. UGH.
- Gossip Girl has good Thanksgiving episodes!
2x12 It's a Wonderful Lie
- wtf is Nastia Liukin doing here?
- three seconds in and I'm so over this episode.
- LEXIE NEEDS -- NEEDS -- TO GO DIE IN A FIRE. OMG.
- SHUT THE FUCK UP VANESSA. ughhhhhh she is HORRIBLE like a HORRIBLE PERSON. after all that idiot butthurt bullshit she put Jenny through, and the fact that she's FUCKING EVERYTHING UP with her horribleness, gaaaahhhhh hate. and that was the most insincere and patronizing apology. THE MOST.
- this bet is ridiculous. more ridiculous than usual, I mean.
- WHO IS MORE HORRIBLE, LEXIE OR VANESSA? ANSWER: DIAF. "Okay, it's a door, but whatever..." This throwaway line sums up, like, every bullshit person I've ever met who thought they were cooler and smarter and ~more enlightened and better than everyone else. OH THE RAGE, THE RAGE. SHUT THE FUCK UP.
- THE WAVES OF ENTITLEMENT STEAMING OFF THIS BITCH ARE STRANGLING ME THROUGH THE COMPUTER SCREEN. OMFGGGGGGG
- JESUS CHRIST, AND SHE ACTUALLY GOES TO RING THE DOORBELL. AND SHE'S WEARING A LEOPARD-PRINT FAKE FUR COAT. HATE. HAAAAAAATE.
- "Can't she just vote?" lulz.
- wtf, what 'true colors'? helping his step-brother? oh yeah, Chuck really showed the depths of his black ice heart there. you can go fuck yourself too, Bart.
- "she tends to extend herself to guys on the first date." lollo, who says that? I've never even heard that particular euphemism before.
- Serena is ultra puppy cute in this scene.
- Vanessa makes no move to apologize. surprise. so pretty and yet so so hateful.
- Kelly Rutherford was pregnant during s2 right? actresses never seem to gain weight in the face when they're pregnant; you can't tell at all in Lily's close-ups and only slightly in wider shots.
- I literally have no idea why this bet is happening except that Blair and Chuck are both convoluted weirdos. as close to being together without being together as their fucked up pride allows, basically? they both admit like twelve times per conversation that they're in love with each other.
- oh shit! "I'm leaving him. I'm doing it for me, I don't expect anything." oh man! oh Lily almost in tears. oh Rufus/Lily!
- wait, was that first girl Chuck talked to at the dance Nastia Liukin? what the hell was the point of that? wutevs
- LOLOL JENNY: MISTRESS OF THE NIGHT. WTF CLOAK.
- oh fine. :( for Vanessa. that sucked.
- shut up Nate. why does Nate ALWAYS get off scot-free in these situations? (fine, okay, in this particular instance he didn't do anything wrong. but not in the past damnit!) not only that, he always acts as Judgey McJudgerson. it's not your place to morally shame whichever girl is closest to you, NATE.
- "Tell me something, Rufus." "What?" "Something you shouldn't." I LOVE THEM.
- lol Chuck as Bart's constant wingman.
- Chuck/Blair dancing: GOD YOU TWO, JUST MAKE OUT.
- oh snap!!
2x13 O Brother, Where Bart Thou?
- of all the dumb puns this show makes, this episode title is among the dumbest.
- okay I spoilered myself and I knew that Bart died, but I didn't know it would be now and I didn't know that he'd die IN BETWEEN episodes. that's kind of cool though.
- I hate old people. I can't deal with evil grandma right now.
- "Lil, I'll wait for you this time. Six months, six years. I'll be here." omg
- oh Chuck. this is going to be so ugly.
- Eric :( he actually liked Bart.
- oh Chuck. :( at least he's in between Blair and Nate. they're so young and fucked up to have to do this. they've known each other for a long time.
- "Chuck, am I gonna have to stick my finger down your throat? Nate'll hold your hair back..." man that's fucked up. this is going to be so ugly.
- oh COME ON Serena. this is CHUCK'S DAD. come the fuck on.
- Chuck didn't just love his dad, he loved his new family and the man that family made out of Bart. Chuck helped the family stay together. he's always liked Lily. and Dan reconciled him and his father, and it reneged just because Chuck wanted to help his step-brother, and the last words he heard from his father was disappointment. that's so sad. now he hates Dan and Rufus and Lily for making the family he loved and taking it away again.
- and even when he's breaking apart he keeps his voice down, to save his father the embarrassment. :(((
- "My family? I don't have a family." walking right past Eric. :((((
- I love Blair and Nate coming together for Chuck, and that Chuck is the focal point of at least two supports, the two supports that matter the most.
- Blair blames her sweetness on Cyrus. oh man. is it too much to hope for that Cyrus and Eleanor work out, for Blair's sake?
- the show is letting everyone implode.
- Aaron is a giant douchebag. yes, you asshole, this funeral and family meltdown is REALLY all about you and Dan.
- Lily, you fucked that conversation up so bad.
- "When. are you. going. to get. it. We. are not. related." that was painful. Eric :(((( Chuck :(((
- I was holding my breath during The Scene, because you know Chuck is going to crush her because he's crushed too, but she put it out there and it was wonderful and terrible for the both of them. the crack in her voice, how he almost cried, the muscles in his jaw. wiping her face like she was surprised. oh man. and Leighton goddamn Meester, holy shit.
- oh the Blair/Cyrus scene breaks my heart too. "Help me." "You don't need help; he just needs time." ahhmg that's so perfect and so right. I love Cyrus. "Wait, not enough." hugging him, with a little laugh in her voice. omg :')
- wait isn't that like, THE DAY AFTER the funeral?? she's taking off her ring and everything. wtf too soon
- the wedding was so cute. I love Dorota being so excited and :Ding over it
- OMG OMG OMG. OMG. my whole body crumpled when Chuck reached back to hold Blair's arm. oh god the one person who said I love you, and he's letting her, and she's wrapping around him so he knows what it feels like to be loved, and omg omg omg. omg.
- I love the shot of them in bed and how young Chuck looks
- the show knows how to do a good music montage
- I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW IT WAS A SECRET ABORTION BABY
- D: BLAIR. and Chuck omg. where are you going?? (he has nice handwriting too.)
- that episode was damn excellent (NO VANESSA WHATSOEVER HAAAAY), even if Lily and Rufus come out of it looking kind of like immature douchebags.
2x10 Bonfire of the Vanity
- EL SICILIAN!
- Dan is the most ridiculously loathesome person EVERRRRRR. S T F U AND G T F O HUMPHREY.
- Aaron Rose is a weenie.
- Blair looks amaaaze at her birthday party. also her pushing everyone over on the couch is the best thing ever.
- it is seriously distracting, how pretty Leighton Meeeeeeeeeeeeester is. I can't focus on the plot with her perfect doll eyelashes and mouf!!
- I hope Blair and the Sicilian eventually come to ado~re each other! Blair's almost there, or she would be if it weren't for her dad; lulz her soppy *__* to that absurd Golden Lion story and her admiration of a fellow schemer.
- DIE DIE DIE DAN, JUST DIE DIE DIE. WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT OMMMMMMMGGGGGGG. AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL RELIEVED THAT HE DIDN'T GO THROUGH WITH IT??? I AM JUST DISAPPOINTED THAT A PIANO FULL OF DOUCHEBAGS DIDN'T FALL ON TOP OF HIS GREASY HEAD. AUUUUUGHHHH DIE DAN DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE (ps, )
- this episode. is. so. fucking. boring. fuck this shit, I'm skipping scenes.
- I don't remember, nor do I particularly care, what's going on with Jenny, but she looks TERRIBLE. TERRRRRRIBLE. who lets her out of the house looking like that, much less BE FILMED?? this is a crime of negligence. all it takes is the silence of good people, y'all.

- WHO IS MORE HORRIBLE, LEXIE OR VANESSA? ANSWER: DIAF. "Okay, it's a door, but whatever..." This throwaway line sums up, like, every bullshit person I've ever met who thought they were cooler and smarter and ~more enlightened and better than everyone else. OH THE RAGE, THE RAGE. SHUT THE FUCK UP.
- THE WAVES OF ENTITLEMENT STEAMING OFF THIS BITCH ARE STRANGLING ME THROUGH THE COMPUTER SCREEN. OMFGGGGGGG
- JESUS CHRIST, AND SHE ACTUALLY GOES TO RING THE DOORBELL. AND SHE'S WEARING A LEOPARD-PRINT FAKE FUR COAT. HATE. HAAAAAAATE.
- "Can't she just vote?" lulz.
- wtf, what 'true colors'? helping his step-brother? oh yeah, Chuck really showed the depths of his black ice heart there. you can go fuck yourself too, Bart.
- "she tends to extend herself to guys on the first date." lollo, who says that? I've never even heard that particular euphemism before.
- Serena is ultra puppy cute in this scene.
- Vanessa makes no move to apologize. surprise. so pretty and yet so so hateful.
- Kelly Rutherford was pregnant during s2 right? actresses never seem to gain weight in the face when they're pregnant; you can't tell at all in Lily's close-ups and only slightly in wider shots.
- I literally have no idea why this bet is happening except that Blair and Chuck are both convoluted weirdos. as close to being together without being together as their fucked up pride allows, basically? they both admit like twelve times per conversation that they're in love with each other.
- oh shit! "I'm leaving him. I'm doing it for me, I don't expect anything." oh man! oh Lily almost in tears. oh Rufus/Lily!
- wait, was that first girl Chuck talked to at the dance Nastia Liukin? what the hell was the point of that? wutevs
- LOLOL JENNY: MISTRESS OF THE NIGHT. WTF CLOAK.
- oh fine. :( for Vanessa. that sucked.
- shut up Nate. why does Nate ALWAYS get off scot-free in these situations? (fine, okay, in this particular instance he didn't do anything wrong. but not in the past damnit!) not only that, he always acts as Judgey McJudgerson. it's not your place to morally shame whichever girl is closest to you, NATE.
- "Tell me something, Rufus." "What?" "Something you shouldn't." I LOVE THEM.
- lol Chuck as Bart's constant wingman.
- Chuck/Blair dancing: GOD YOU TWO, JUST MAKE OUT.
- oh snap!!
2x13 O Brother, Where Bart Thou?
- of all the dumb puns this show makes, this episode title is among the dumbest.
- okay I spoilered myself and I knew that Bart died, but I didn't know it would be now and I didn't know that he'd die IN BETWEEN episodes. that's kind of cool though.
- I hate old people. I can't deal with evil grandma right now.
- "Lil, I'll wait for you this time. Six months, six years. I'll be here." omg
- oh Chuck. this is going to be so ugly.
- Eric :( he actually liked Bart.
- oh Chuck. :( at least he's in between Blair and Nate. they're so young and fucked up to have to do this. they've known each other for a long time.
- "Chuck, am I gonna have to stick my finger down your throat? Nate'll hold your hair back..." man that's fucked up. this is going to be so ugly.
- oh COME ON Serena. this is CHUCK'S DAD. come the fuck on.
- Chuck didn't just love his dad, he loved his new family and the man that family made out of Bart. Chuck helped the family stay together. he's always liked Lily. and Dan reconciled him and his father, and it reneged just because Chuck wanted to help his step-brother, and the last words he heard from his father was disappointment. that's so sad. now he hates Dan and Rufus and Lily for making the family he loved and taking it away again.
- and even when he's breaking apart he keeps his voice down, to save his father the embarrassment. :(((
- "My family? I don't have a family." walking right past Eric. :((((
- I love Blair and Nate coming together for Chuck, and that Chuck is the focal point of at least two supports, the two supports that matter the most.
- Blair blames her sweetness on Cyrus. oh man. is it too much to hope for that Cyrus and Eleanor work out, for Blair's sake?
- the show is letting everyone implode.
- Aaron is a giant douchebag. yes, you asshole, this funeral and family meltdown is REALLY all about you and Dan.
- Lily, you fucked that conversation up so bad.
- "When. are you. going. to get. it. We. are not. related." that was painful. Eric :(((( Chuck :(((
- I was holding my breath during The Scene, because you know Chuck is going to crush her because he's crushed too, but she put it out there and it was wonderful and terrible for the both of them. the crack in her voice, how he almost cried, the muscles in his jaw. wiping her face like she was surprised. oh man. and Leighton goddamn Meester, holy shit.
- oh the Blair/Cyrus scene breaks my heart too. "Help me." "You don't need help; he just needs time." ahhmg that's so perfect and so right. I love Cyrus. "Wait, not enough." hugging him, with a little laugh in her voice. omg :')
- wait isn't that like, THE DAY AFTER the funeral?? she's taking off her ring and everything. wtf too soon
- the wedding was so cute. I love Dorota being so excited and :Ding over it
- OMG OMG OMG. OMG. my whole body crumpled when Chuck reached back to hold Blair's arm. oh god the one person who said I love you, and he's letting her, and she's wrapping around him so he knows what it feels like to be loved, and omg omg omg. omg.
- I love the shot of them in bed and how young Chuck looks
- the show knows how to do a good music montage
- I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW IT WAS A SECRET ABORTION BABY
- D: BLAIR. and Chuck omg. where are you going?? (he has nice handwriting too.)
- that episode was damn excellent (NO VANESSA WHATSOEVER HAAAAY), even if Lily and Rufus come out of it looking kind of like immature douchebags.
