WOW. Not since the whole Chuck gay kiss spoiler have I seen so many comments! I've got no prob w/ GG or S3 (still feelin' the love) I won't stick my nose in that debate. But it's been interesting....
But, as to ratings I have to agree with other posters that in the age of online, itunes, youtube, hulu, etc. the ratings don't represent the real # of GG viewers. I 100% agree with the message: WATCH and recruit others to watch because obvs. higher ratings are NOT a bad thing. They are just not the only thing. The producers/CW execs "get it" when it comes to how their shows' demo views their programs. Also, GG is a valuable brand for the CW. It has other lucrative tie-ins, such as a brand new clothing line, Verizon, etc. Peace, Love & GG
Good comments...I agree with Marlena as well. (That's a timesaver!)
I agree on your take on S and Carter, Whale Sweater. My soft spot for Chuck got the better of me and I was hating on them a bit after the last ep (I have a hard time with the "daddy's shoes" comment...and general nastiness from S-bringing up Blair/Elle...I stop my ranting lol)BUT, they are great together and finally S has someone who is on par with her (does anyone remember Aaron, or have we repressed that memory?) WOULD SOMEONE OFFER SEB STAN A SEASON REGULAR SPOT ALREADY?!
I wonder if anyone will finally comment about Dan's new body?! I mean...geez, dude is suddenly cut. Lil' J should have said "Dan spends all of his time at the gym" instead of "pre-reading his college textbooks" in premiere. (I'm probably overthinking this but it bugs me!!) LOL
I love CHAIR together in any form they take. I hope "I'm not Chuck Bass w/o you" sets the stage for this season in the way the "3 words, 8 letters" did last season. (i.e. this year they're together no matter what...standing by each other through anything....)
I loved seeing CHAIR as a couple finally! Any awkwardness between them is born out of the SL, not them as a couple. "I'm not Chuck Bass without you." That's says it all right there.
Love Serena/Carter chemistry. I love Carter's character and hope that he gets added as a series regular in the future. And Serena is interesting to me for the first time since the end of S1. (Not a fan of S2 Serena). Go Carena!!
Shocked that there was no snarky reference to Dan's new muscles. (or did I miss it?) He's like twice the size as last season since Penn "got healthy" over the break. Me likey.
Dair? Really? *puke* So obvs it's Chair-she's putting Chuck before Serena. We've already heard that C & S have a falling out and maybe S gives B the "Him or our friendship" ultimatum. And she, of course, picks Chuck! Carena v. Chair?! Bring it on.
L-U-V Luv it! CHAIR togetha--Chuck rockin' the ascot for old times' sake w/ outfit coordinated w/ Blair's (trend this season that is just so...them and perfect) Thanks for righting the wrong of Chuck's absence from the banner--long overdue. OMG--Nate's floating head! WTF! It's comical.
As if it was possible for Ed's stock to go up any higher...he is the only one who responded to the fans. "Hi" *smiles* (Almost as good as the "Hey" from sneek peaks vid) Not that I expect GG cast to engage the "stalkers" it is just so cute that he did!
Good--meet challenges and work them out, CHAIR style! @Spath3: couldn't say it any better--Just keep them together writers, we have waited way too long for this! Yes. We. Have.
Let's get this straight b/c there is way too much confusion on this point: Lily ADOPTED Chuck in S2=Lily is CHUCK's MOM legally If Chuck's MOM marries Lil J's DAD, THEN CHUCK AND LIL J ARE STEP BRO & SIS Of course, if Lily & Rufus break up again (talk about on again off again) then forget it....
OMG! Meant "everyone" as an off-hand reference to those in Serena's life who may not approve (Chuck and Nate come to mind--curious what B will think). Please don't think that I meant all of the fans! Viva la Cerena!
I actually LOVE the Carter/Serena (Sarter? Cerena?) pairing. Everyone thinks he's an ass, but if they can rehab Chuck's character, they can rehab anyone's character. Maybe we'll finally find out what happened in Santorini!!!
Wasn't going to comment--how many times can one post "Yay CHAIR!"? But, since the haters are out in full force, then here goes: YAY CHAIR!!! Can't wait for S3!
C&B staying tight!! Recipe for Season 3 SuperCouple: 1) Re-Christen the limo. C'mon. 2) Scheme. Scheme. Scheme. (Beret optional) 3) Bag dorm life & move in together. (Sorry, Nate). 4) Hold Hands. Lots. 5) Fight, make-up, say "I LOVE YOU." Oh, and, YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STUNT CASTING?! Ew. I'll just FF through her scenes on my way to watch CHAIR! (Who am I kidding? It will be such a train wreck that I won't be able to avert my eyes).
