Below are some highlights (and lowlights) from New York Magazine's review of last night's Gossip Girl. Check out what they have to say and leave a comment with your own!
- Serena and Blair end up shopping at Via Quodronno on the same morning. We'll buy it. And the chocolate-filled croissant that Jenny's not eating, too, please. Plus 2.
- Wait, the Humphreys came from Brooklyn, had breakfast at Lily's, and got to school on time? What time did they have to wake up? Not Brooklyn time, certainly. Minus 3.
- '96 Dom Perignon is fantastic. We've heard. Nice. Plus 2.
- Chuck is always hanging around in Lily's living room in his smoking jacket, drinking by the fire. Don't other people, like, an entire family, live in that apartment? Minus 3.
- Nate Archibald's email password has been "soccer" since the fifth grade. Plus 1 for Nate not even adding "09" at the end.
- It's totally unrealistic that Lily would say she thought the party Serena put together for Jenny was "delightful" and act like Jenny was at fault for being ungrateful when Jenny had clearly, strenuously objected to having such a party the day before, and it was evident Serena was being an egomaniac. It is, however, realistic that Rufus would sit there like a lump while that was going on, so: Even.
- Blair likens her situation with Nate and Vanessa to Brangelina and Jennifer Aniston. Plus 1, because every woman in that situation makes that analogy.
- It's kind of annoying that Blair Waldorf has lost all her control in this episode. Minus 1. Someone give her back her headband of power!
- Vanessa to Nate, about Chuck: "We're not a couple, it's just physical." Plus 2 because who knew V knows how to punch guys where it hurts?

thank you! blair was so helpless. it made me want the old blair back. blair waldorf was never meant to be as needy as she was in this episode! i know she's been through a lot, but the writers could've given her a little glimmer of the person she is
plus i thought jenny was so annoying with her monolouge about not wanting to be a park avenue princess. okay we get it. you like yourself, but stop being so childish and letting serena take the complete fall for the party. at least her party had a reasonable size. and then she tried to use that whole at least they're people i know cliche for being mad. haha right. like she know's every person on gossip girl.
for both situations minus 8

Oh yes. Blair was pretty messed up in this episode. She's quite annoying, actually.
Agree on Nate's password. My lord, Chuck's a god. :p

I couldn't agree more. I have no idea what they have done to Blair. But I'm liking her less and less with each episode! and she used to be one of my favorite characters.

"It's totally unrealistic that Lily would say she thought the party Serena put together for Jenny was "delightful"
I disagree with that as it has always seemed to me that Lily knows only of her own problems and what she finds enjoyable, the idea that Jenny didn't enjoy the party would seem remote to her.

Yes, B needs her power back. Hate the neediness that oozed from her. In the future, I want my queen B back. Stomached the CV scene only because the next episode Chuck will be fighting for B still. Maybe it was purely physical with Vanessa but I don't need to see anymore sexual scenes with them in it thank you!

v with chuck totally grossed me out. she's so ugly

I totally understood Blair's neediness! Everything she has been through, what girl wouldn't be needy for the sensitive guy. Too bad she wasn't needy for Chuck! If only he told her ILY...
Don't worry she will get her power back! What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!!

I am NOT a Vanessa hater. Infact i like V, but the likelihood of her character being with Chuck, like she was, is completely unorthodox...!!!!
minus 10000000000000000000000000000, Chuck and Vanessa made me gag,.. physically.
plus 1000000000000000000000000000, Nate and Blair, are ADORABLE, so nate was a bit of a jackass to B in season 1.... but im willing to forgive and forget coz he appears ultra cute with her now! GO BLATE!
(Anyways a b/c thing after that episode...unhum i dont think so.)
Oooooh sooo excited fr BLATE!!!Yippee!

I agree, Blair seemed very needy in fact it made me cringe when i saw her bc thats not the B we're all used to..
plus 1000 for Nate + Blair, im a Chair fan but when Nate met Blair at the park, I melted.
C + V.. no thanks.. that was unnecessary.. especially when future epi pics have shown that no matter what CV do, they wont get Blair/Nate back

I dont believe this...plus 2 for V by sleeping with C? Urgh,.its getting worse..
