Gossip Girl: 5x23 The Fugitives

So, that Bart-Bass-storyline is really believable, isn't it? But I don't want to say much about this topic, neither about how S and Dan looked like as a couple, nor about Lola and her narcissitic ways of being ("Then I can get your full attention."-Lola, about the fact, that Diana is gone.)
Ok, one thing that I just can't possibly ignore: Dan's hair. Ugh. Seriously? Just NOT ok.

But what I really want to talk about is next week's episode, because it is going to be the finale! Sooo much had happend, and I am really, really looking forward to how they are going to let all this mess end.
Here are two promos:

"I don't want to be Mr. Blair Waldorf, I'm Chuck Bass." Finally! Chuck was such a cool person, before he got all Romeo-and-Juliet with Blair.

"I built this empire." -Chuck.

Again, he is just great and doesn't need anyone, not Blair, not his father, not Nate, who is scheming behind his back with Lola even if Chuck told him not to. (Perhaps he could need a little bit of Serena? Looks like she is getting back together with Brooklyn, but maybe next season, she could be cheating on him with the king of the UES...)  

Blair and Serena's friendship seems to be heading a bad place, but that is nothing we didn't see before. In fact, it was kind of unrealistic to see them being all "BFF-love you so much"-ish.

Can't wait for the next and also last episode!!!

Gossip Girl: 5x22 Raiders of the Lost Art MUSIC

So, Bass senior is back in the picture, huh? Who didn't see that coming? It might have been obvious, but not logical, not at all. Jack Bass, Chuck's uncle, not his father( a fact that no one really doubted, come on, can't there be a picture of you and your sister-in-law without an affair between the two of you?), he tried to get the Empire and stuff from Chuck first, using the meanest schemings, while he really was just hiding Bart for some creepy reason? Yes, that seems to be a believable reason.
Now that Lily and Rufus are having trouble with their relationship, Bart can have a little comeback here as well... (aren't they in fact still married?)

I didn't like how Lola (why is she back? why?) and Nate treated Serena. I mean, she was willing to help them and do the right thing, but they just fooled her and lied to her.
What is Serena going to do know? No job, no boyfriend, no real friends... Poor S.

And Dan is just a paranoid teddy bear, that's all.

This week's episode of Gossip Girl was something I waited for impatiently. But it didn't really turned out to be worth all that waiting, in fact, it was pretty boring. And it doesn't look like there is going to be any interesting storyline soon. Chuck's mommy complex back on the plan, does anyone need that? Dan and Blair, I know a lot of people love them, but seriously, they are nothing but lame together. And Lola. She might be the most superfluous person that joined the Upper East Side in years. Almost everything about her annoys me. Her relationship with Nate, the way she is just extremely rude and unpolite to everyone, her judgemental attitude.
I miss a really interesting love interest. Maybe Serena could fall in love again, or at least have somebody who she could possibly fall for... Chuck? I am still hoping that they are getting together, it would be so much fun. A party night with a lot of alcohol to forget about all their problems, cut, the morning after at Chuck's suite... I wish I was the writer of the show and could make it happen... but it would take away all the suspense, wouldn't it? :)

Gossip Girl: 5x17 Review/ 5x18 Promo

I don't like Dair, never did, never will. Last episode (5x17 "The Princess Dowry) didn't change a thing about that. They annoyed me even more. Like Dawn Falik said on "speakeasy" (http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2012/02/27/gossip-girl-season-5-episode-17-the-princess-dowry-tv-recap/), they are "the most chemistryless couple ever"!

But honestly, I am kind of over Blair. That sounds weird, but what I mean is: In the past, I always loved Chuck and Blair, together, I wanted them to have their happy end. But lately, I just think that Chuck should get over her. Because EVERYTHING was about her, all the time, just her, whether she chooses Chuck or Louis, Chuck or Dan. And now she doesn't even want Chuck anymore ("I love you, but I am not in love with you."). So, fine, Chuck, forget about her and all her drama, and be the awesome, sacastic, selfconfident Chuck everyone misses.

And Blair? She can have Dan now, if she wants to. I really don't mind, as long as I don't have to see them. Because- did I already mention?- they ANNOY me!

Anyway, seeing the couple everyone seems to love recently after overcoming all the obstacles like S, Chuck, Louis, a royal marriage contract,... with problems like that, is going to be so much fun! It is mean, but I want them to be unhappy.

Gossip Girl: The Father And The Bride REVIEW

Tell me. We are Dan and Serena, you can tell me anything. It must be true, 'cause I read that online. - Dan

Who would have thought that Dan Humphrey would be the one that not only one, but actually both of Gossip Girl's female main characters are in love with? Does anyone even remember that little insecure boy that did nothing but waiting in a hotel lobby for hours to see Serena? He definitly did grow, but I am not sure, if I like the "new Dan". (I know, he didn't change over night, but though...) Isn't it pretty unfair of him not to be grateful at all when S canceled her column for him (at least that is what he thinks, because he doesn't know any of the things that are going on with S and the Vanderbilt family). He is just like: oh, yeah, thanks for giving up your only career perspective right now for his future novel, that no one will want to read anyway. Of course, what are 1000 comments compared to a book, that isn't even wanted by his publishers. God, he became soo selfcentered. Or is it just because he is "so insanely in love" with Blair? Why does everyone always want the one they can't have? Serena wants Dan, who wants Blair, who honestly wants Chuck (but can't have him because of God...) and since the last episode, Beatrice, who is in love with the royal family's priest.

In my opinion, Dan should just stop dreaming about Blair and see what is infront of him: the GORGEOUS Serena. Otherwise, it will be too late and Nate will take her. Maybe Archibald doesn't really know it yet, but I think he going to fall for her again. Who wouldn't? I really love Blair, she is the best, but that doesn't mean that all the attention has got to be on her. Why don't share some of that love??? :)

Gossip Girl: The End of the Affair? REVIEW

It seems like I waited years for last night's new episode of Gossip Girl, watching that little promo video over and over again (30 seconds are really too short!). Finally watching "The End of the Affair?", it felt like the episode only took about 10 minutes. Not much actually happend, but there was this kind of suspense that left me breathless and dying to see more.
Ok, first a summary what the episode was all about for those who missed it (how could you?) and those who remember nothing but incredibly sweet Chuck in  the last scene.

SUMMARY:
It took place a little while after Chuck and Blair's car crash. Despite the fact Blair lost her baby, both are in good shape again, at least when it comes to their health. But instead of starting a new life together like they planned in 5x10, the royal wedding is still on and Blair is not talking to Chuck and avoiding her friends, especially Serena, as she and Louis got back to New York just in time for The Spectator's New Year's Eve party. Blair's strange behavior makes everyone curious, particulary Chuck, of course, who doesn't know what has changed. So he starts to investigate what she is doing and specially, with whom, because the prince assumes his fiancée is having an affair. He finds out that Blair is meeting Dan frequently. Dan is the only one Blair told about the reason she went back to Louis. It is because she prayed to God, when Chuck was still not awake after the accident, and she begged for Chuck's recovery, promising to abide by her promise to marry Louis in exchange. Chuck did actually woke up directly after, and Blair kept her word. But she's not sure if it is the right thing to do, that is why Dan takes her to church to let her make up her mind. Blair still loves Chuck more than anything, but she is affraid that something is going to happen if she would break the promise she made to God. When she sees are cab almost running into Chuck while she considers going back to him, she finally decides to stay with Louis. In the meantime, Nate tries to talk Serena into using the information the former Gossip Girl readers now send to her for her blog and he gets texts from a first unknown person telling him to do some research about the accident. After finding out that the not properly working car that was the real reason for the crash was supposed to be his, the texting person unveils hisself (or is it probably a herself?) as Gossip Girl.
At the party at the Spectator's office, Blair tells Serena about her secret, and when Chuck and Louis accuse Dan to have an affair with Blair, Serena tells them she and Dan started seeing eachother again to protect Blair. At Midnight, Dan and Serena kiss to make everyone believe the lie.
Lily hired a private investigator to find Charlie, and when she and Rufus are at the place the P.I. told her to find her, they meet the real Charlie without knowing it.

MY OPINION:
I can really understand why Blair is beliving that her marrying Louis is God's will and the guilty conscience she would have if her going back to Chuck would be the raison something happens to Chuck. And she just lost her baby, probably is still a bit messed up because of that. It is pretty hard to have to make such life changing deciscions right after a horrible accident like this. (Ok, it's already New Year's Eve, so the crash is already about how long, maybe 2 month, ago.)

Dan caring about her and protecting her was sweet, but I'm still not a Dair fan. In fact, I think it is pretty obvious that Serena is pretty much into him again, and I would favor this relationship, although I reckon that Dan's feelings are not the same. I think he is really fallen for Blair, even though he knows that it's not going to happen.

Chuck- I didn't like him concocting with Louis. The prince doesn't know Blair like Chuck does, so it is kind of ok for him to suspect an affair, but honestly, how could Chuck ever believe in any of that? Sure, he is confused and everything, but he should definitly know better.
Watching Blair destroy his hopes was terribly heartbreaking. I have to admit, I almost cried. You could see in all of Chucks body and face and eyes, that he just didn't understand why he can't be with the woman he loves so much.

For me, this episode was basically about Chuck and Blair, the rest was just details. I can't wait for next week to see what is going to happen next, keeping in mind that on January 30th, there is supposed to be a Royal Wedding...
