Last Night: Gossip Girl "The Lost Boy"

Last night's Gossip Girl was by far the best of the season. (The competition really isn't that high though, so it's more like: Last night's Gossip Girl was finally a good one.)

Georgina and Dan together is strange, but it works. I like that Serena has stuck around and miraculously become happy again - happy enough to accept that Dan is with (or not with) Georgina. And I love that S knows Georgina's ways and is suggesting that G will fall in love with Dan so quickly. There's always something weird and creepy about Georgina, but at least they're keeping her consistent in her awkwardness.

I LOVE the Chuck + Blair's sexual tension laced conflict throughout this episode. You know how much I love them together, but their relationship really couldn't stay perfect forever. This was just enough conflict, and just enough playfulness. And side note: Chuck has been a really rather impressive boyfriend these past couple of weeks. He better not make a wrong turn. I'll be so upset, and so will B.

I loved most of the dialogue this week. Something about it was more clever and witty than usual. There was a much more dramatic approach. They stopped trying to make it feel every day / real and took it up a notch. They might as well; these college freshman are not regular college freshman. What a great episode. It was upscale, and yet fun. And the characters were exaggerating themselves just enough - almost like they were making fun of themselves. Love it.

"Putting his own happiness above mine!? What kind of boyfriend does that? How is that a healthy relationship!?"-- Blair Waldorf freak out.
