Below are excerpts from New York Magazine's famed reality index of the previous night's episode Gossip Girl, a weekly postmortem that's not to be missed.
We've posted our official episode recap of "Rufus Getting Married." Now here are some highlights from NY Mag's totally arbitrary, uniquely funny analysis:
- Vanessa's IM name is "Docugrl191" and Olivia Burke's is "Olivia." Plus 2.
- The Bleecker! At last, the name of their fictional coffee shop. Minus 1.
- Georgina served Scott "several glasses of wine slightly enhanced." Plus 2 for the way she just slipped that in there, like it was something only vaguely shameful, like a glass of Chardonnay with ice cubes in it.
- Not only would Dan not have a mini-PC, but he also wouldn't type on it on the street like a blind person. Seriously, is that a Star Trek outtake? Minus 2.
- Serena: "That was by far your best wedding. Who would have guessed nine months later Klaus would have Auf'ed?" Awesome line, but only gets Plus 1: Lily's wedding picture doesn't even include her husband's face.
- Blair hates Bree so much she calls her a future "NASCAR mom." She's watched Nate get with so many girls, why does she care so much now? Minus 1.
- Lily always wears chandelier earrings, usually turquoise. Plus only 1, because they are mitigated by Vanessa's matching ridiculous cocktail rings.
- Eric is wearing a TERRIBLE beige-and-black short-sleeved button-down shirt for half the episode. Beige on black is like blood on the dance floor - it's only okay if it's really dark and everyone's drunk. Minus 3.
- Chuck: "Buntautuk. I learned it from a master in Chiang Mai." Plus 1, if not for realism, for reminding us of Chuck's hilarious lost weekend in Thailand.
- If Carter Baizen, whom we are meant to believe is a prominent member of Upper East Side society, was engaged to be married to a Buckley, another prominent family, wouldn't Serena have known? Minus 7.
- Lily's first reaction to Georgina's dramatic reveal of Scott's parentage is to look all annoyed, like "Oh, GREAT. And now he's walked away. Do I have to do EVERYTHING? THANKS, everyone. For NOTHING." Plus 1.

Bree in the scene pictured above, talking all loverly to Nate and then suddenly looking around all lookie-aroundlike. "Are you looking for someone?" YUP. Minus 2.
The scene in the beginning where Chuck kisses Blair while she is still sleeping? Be still, my beating heart. Plus 3.

I disagree on few points here:
1) How come Dan wouldn't have a mini-PC? He has money now, he's in college and he's a WRITER; Hello, there!
2)Blair can't stand any girl who is not under her command. Btw, Nate is her ex boyfriend, i don't know a lot of girls who get along with the new girlfriend of their ex.

lol, very hilarious. For the whole serena knowing about carter's engagement thing though, i don't think she would. Cause seriously, I doubt serena pays any attention the press unless it's about her. :P
