I don’t even know what this show is doing anymore.
I made this post last night, and I’ve been thinking about it, and maybe I’m wrong. Maybe this is great. Maybe I was right when I thought Uncle Jack was a stealth homage to Steve Martin’s character in one episode of Arrested Development and not just looking for connections to Arrested Development (which I absolutely do). Because I just spotted another one. CHUCK BASS IS BUSTER BLUTH. “You said my father was my father, but my uncle is my father. MY FATHER IS MY UNCLE!”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. “Dan Humphrey>Tina Fey” lolk, show.
I am somewhat at peace with spending that one month watching all the Gossip Girl because I am now tracking the tag and after tonight’s episode it is hilarious.
Stuff that I can talk about:
- How Serena is the worst
- How the third season is the Serena of the show, but managed to right itself back in the subsequent one and a half seasons (I wouldn’t call the show respectable because that word and this show shouldn’t be in the same paragraph)
- How the Blair Wedding episode was the Serena of the fifth season.
- How the show keeps insisting on telling the audience that Serena is a great person while showing quite the opposite.
- How I want someone to save Leighton Meester from this show.
Stuff that can never be mentioned again:
- How I went through 101 episodes in roughly a month.
Next up, LOST!
Like father, like son.
(“You already made that joke!” “Oh come on, it was good enough to merit seconds!”)
I’ve ran out of discs. A sane person would have stopped. I, however, am not sane, so I’m gonna keep going to be current and am not looking back. Jokes I forgot to do and am too lazy to do now:
- Get a screengrab of Serena saying “I should/have to go.” (Considering this happens every so often of EVERY EPISODE, yeah, pure laziness by me.)
- Screengrab of Louis bringing Blair her dress saying, “I want to be your Prince Charming and your Fairy Godfather.” With my caption of “Um, gross?”
- Dan picking up Charley during one of her early appearances that made me go, “Who? Is Dan calling Chuck ‘Charlie” now? Why are they on ‘Charlie’ terms?” and then she shows up, and I’m like, “Oh. Her. Totally forgot about her.”
- William Baldwin giving Lily fake cancer and that whole plotline because it was just a mess, like God spilled a story arc. (Mostly because Gabe from Videogum did it better.) (EDIT: I just reread that article, and when he enhanced Jenny Bing searching cancer I had a laughing fit complete with tears and a near asthma attack.)
- Full note I wrote down but that I just have no idea what to screengrab and that was written sometime during the middle of the third season: “I don’t care about Chuck’s mom. I don’t care about Serena’s dad. Lily and Rufus are becoming awful. Can we just get back to shitty teenagers being shitty teenagers?” At least that was fixed during the fourth season, for the most part.
Okay, show. If having Blair and Dan watch Rosemary’s Baby was an intentional foreshadowing for potential Chuck Baby, then, yeah. *imaginary hat*
