Gossip Girl: G.G. REVIEW

So, the Royal Wedding finally took place. Blair and Louis are married now, who did honestly thought that would really happen. I didn't.
The wedding itself, disregarding what happend, was not as glamorous as I expected it to be. Yes, of course, it was nice, pretty dresses, tiaras, flowers, some champagne, but nice? Epic is what is should be like. Did someone watch the real prince's wedding? Ok, one thing was similar: the white suit. And I already didn't like it last summer. Even the really better looking Louis (who is looking even better when he is not all that poshly dressed up, by the way) doesn't change that.

Quotes

This episode was filled with a lot of good lines from different characters.

My favourites:

"Jesus owes me one." - Georgina Sparks (it isn't still Sparks, is it?)
Love that one, love her. When Georgina comes back, you always know it is going to be bad. But trying to ruin the wedding was actually a good thing.
I like her husband, too. If she involves him into her machinations, what a perfect intriguer is her son Milo going to be?
But Phil (her husband) should definitly know a little bit better:
"There is going to be a scandal?" - Phil (last name?)

It is Georgina, of course is there a scandal!
....

"The world is really a mess, when the most honest person we know is Chuck Bass" - Nate Archibald
 Chuck - how can anyone possibly not want him to have a his happy ending, to be with Blair?
"It should be us out there and you know it" - Chuck Bass
....

Someone I loved and hated this episode was Elenor Waldorf, Blair's mum.
"Are you coming to stop this thing or what" - Elenor Waldorf

She was my hero at this moment. But after the church at the party, I didn't understand her anymore. Why was she happy? Could you be happy if you know that your daughter just married a man she doesn't love?

Music

Let's talk about music. Gossip Girl has often a really great soundtrack, and the 100th episode was no exception.
The 2 songs that attracted my attention the most are:

  • Young Folks by The Kooks, which is actually a cover from the Swedish group Peter Bjorn and John.

  • Slow by Grouplove. It was just perfect at the moment it was played. The last persons were walking into the church, Serena and Dan, then Blair and her fathers. But all I waited for was what Chuck was going to do. And he really appeared at the door. And time really moved slow for me. It was the moment, where everything could have happend. (By the way, mobile phones in a church? Watching a video during a wedding ceremony? No good manners, guys...) One of these Gossip Girl moments, when you are just breathless and dying to know what will happen.
