GOSSIP GIRL (The Age of Dissonance)

• Return of Carter tonight, olayed by Sebastian Stan–Leighton Meester’s real-life boyfriend
• Happy to know this school play business is just one episode, unlike 90210’s Spring Awakening disaster
• Mercury poisoning/Jeremy Piven reference = funny
• Blair has her own personalized chair. And Dorota as her stylist.  Why am I not surprised?
• Q1: “He broods in the sexiest way.”–Serena
• The director is very hot.  But does he have to be named Julian?
• Why did Carter leave in the first place?  Don’t remember.
• Q2: “They were like grown-up Mean Girls.”
• Dan has very gross handwriting.
• Why wasn’t Rachel fired after Blair proved something was up between her and Dan?
• Q3: “Is today April Fools?”–Blair
• Guess high school productions have open rehearsals?
• Interesting that Dan and Serena had to play lovers but the show didn’t actually address this at all.
• Nelly in a fat suit really is hysterical.
• Q4: “People aren’t jealous of you, Blair.  They hate you…There’s about a thousand others who’d relish taking you down.”–Nelly
• Giving the royal treatment is a great euphemism!
• Q5: “Someone’s out to get you, Blair.”–Nelly
• How old is Julian?  Think we’ve had enough older-younger relationships for now.
• Q6: “What are you doing with her?  We hate her!…She will be destroyed and you don’t want to be collateral damage.”–Blair to Serena about Vanessa
• They’re stealing a lot of the Elle storyline from Eyes Wide Shut.  Not the specifics, but just the feeling.
• Something about Julian is very…weird.
• I love when Rufus gets into hardcore father mode!
• How many young viewers actually get the Mrs. Robinson reference?
• Q7: “Looks like the teacher just got schooled.”–Gossip Girl
• Serena with ear piece and Vanessa is pretty funny but not original at all
• Figures Nate would overhear and get the wrong idea
• Who really says ‘you’re quite extraordinary?’
• Someone’s after Serena, too?
• Wait a sec.  Could Rachel be behind all this?
• Surprised Chuck is trusting Carter
• The actress advice = very meta
• Q8: “You’re a shameless bitch.”–Serena to Blair
• Dortoa is acting suspicious.  No way she’s behind it?
• Q9: “Betrayal’s in your nature.” Serena to Blair.
• S is very right when she says Blair needs to grow up.  That really is the main problem, I think.
• Q10: “Do you know how hard it is to get revenge when your enemy is changing every 5 minutes?”–Blair
• Q11: “I want Dan Humprey’s head on a platter.”–Blair
• Dan bought her a bracelet?  Really? Doesn’t seem like the best use of his little money.
• Really hope Rachel skips town.
• Wow, they’re really stupid enough not just to hook up right before the play but also on school property??
• Commercial plugs a Chasing Dorota minseries for your phone or something.  Think it costs money.
• Funny to see Nelly acting like the one with power and Penelope as the maid
• Chuck is making a big mistake messing with people probably more powerful than him
• Q12: “Give birth to the new person you are to become…You are still in labor.”–Julian
• It’s the Isherwood (New York Times critic) cameo!  He is so obviously nervous!
• Q13: “You’re as empty as the federal reserve.”–Julian
• Convenient that the cast is mic-ed.
• Fake makeout between Blair and Dan was quite funny
• Does Rachel know all t heir secrets?
• Love how actors are bad when they’re pretending to be actors
• LOL Nate breaks character.  And then they all follow!
• 90210 promo.  Includes Donna..and a baby carrier behind her?
• Isherwood looks so unhappy to be there!
• Love Serena’s face when Julian tells her he’s gay!
• So Nate’s finally realizing the differences between him and Vanessa.  Guess this leads to getting back together with Blair?
• Insecure really is a good word to describe Nate.
• Not surprised that Elle used Chuck for money.
• Q14: “You have a good heart.  You should give it to somebody who cares.”–Elle to Chuck
• A ha!  I knew it was Rachel! (Dorota, I’m sorry I doubted you!)
• Q15: “We had sex in the costume closet so you can do whatever you want with that.”–Dan
• Q16: “How do I make your fate as bleak as mine?”–Blair to Rachel
• Rachel genuinely upset with herself?
• Glad Blair is starting to realize how messed up she is.
• Nate and V back together?  I hate fake break-ups!
• Just realized no Rufus and Lily this episode.
• Was Dan accepted to Yale already?  Don’t remember.
• Still don’t understand how Blair (and the others) get served in bars.
• Blair is realizing her flaws–but definitely doesn’t deserve a pity party.
• Rachel’s voiceover = very cheesy
• Q17: “Sometimes fate throws two lovers together only to rip them apart.”  JUST LIKE THESE SHOWS!
• Aw!  Chuck realizes Blair is the one that cares!  But timing is everything…
• Dorota looks so cute in her PJs.
• Weird for Leightont to act with her real-life boyfriend?  Or watch boyfriend act with other women?
• Promo looks good.  Nate’s grandfather comes.  Something happens with Blair and, um, everyone??

ONE TREE HILL (You and Me and the Bottles Makes Three Tonight)

• Julian looks quite sexy with that blanket.
• Ummm…what are he and Brooke talking about?
• Aw.  It’s all about those 3 magic words!  Very cute.  Good new way to introduce that for a couple.
• Brooke DOES do I love you.  I guess just not in a while.
• Skills smart setting Millie and Mouth up to run into each other.
• Wouldn’t really mind if it was goodbye forever to Millie or Lisa Goldstein.  Doesn’t add anything to the show, IMO.
• Funny Nathan saying how the Scott boys have bad hearts.
• How long has it been since the last episode?
• How are they in a random house?
• And how is it their anniversary?  Naley got married in May. It’s only March!
• Also doesn’t make sense that it’s their seventh anniversary.  The whole jumping ahead 5 years messed this up.
• Good to see Deb again.
• Q1: “I rather watch Gossip Girl.  It’s so bad for me.”–Jamie  (Very funny but must one CW show plug  another??)
• Since when dose Jamie have an imaginary friend?
• Excited to see Dan and Deb interact again.
• Do you think they’d ever get baack together?
• Not feeling Peyton’s hair color.
• Here’s where the episode starts to do one story at a time.  Not original.  They did this in Dawson’s Creek in season 4.
• First story: “The Surprise” featuring Peyton and Lucas
• Knew Lucas’ surprise would be a baby room.  But how did he do that in one night?
• Interesting choice not to actually show them with the doctor.  Stops us from actually knowing the doc exactly said.
• Did Peyton say she’d want to name her daughter Anna?  For her mom?  Was her adopted mom named Anna?  I hear Anna and I think…Anna.  The season 2 character.
• Okay, this is really heartbreaking.
• Q2: “The universe doesn’t punish you for being afraid.”–Peyton
• Has she only been pregnant for a month?
• Okay, what exactly is wrong with her?
• Each of their reasoning’s make sense.
• Woah!  Peyton called Lucas a dick!
• Guilting each other isn’t necessarily wrong.
• Q3: “I will beat your ass.”–Peyton to Lucas
• Like that she used his middle name!
• When was the last time we saw Lucas cry?  This is so moving!
• Aw!  They referenced how he always saves her.
• Guiding Light is doing the same story right now.
• Jake reference!
• Does mentioning Brooke make Peyton cry because she realizes all that she’d leave behind–or because she thinks Lucas and Brooke would be together??
• Q4: “I would haunt your ass to make sure you never have sex again.”
• Comet reference!
• Q5: “I can’t accept that your story doesn’t have a good ending.”  “Our story already has the greatest ending no matter want.”–Lucas and Peyton
• The background song has the lyric: til death do we part.  I can’t handle this!
• Did Peyton just call the baby a he?  As in, he’s kicking/
• Q6: “It’s okay for you to love this baby.  It doesn’t mean you don’t love me.”–Peyton
• Q7: “I can’t live without you, Peyton.”–Lucas
• Q8: “We are going to live happily ever after.  All three of us.”–Peyton
• Now “The Long Goodbye” with Millie and Mouth. Very common title.  Pretty sure 90210 used it.
• Really could fast-forward through the Millie-Mouth stuff.
• Were they amazing?  What was so amazing?
• Millie is definitely the rational one.
• Not sure if I agree or disagree with her decision.  Definitely don’t care.
• Did Millie and Mouth get less time?  Not complaining, though.
• Now “The Seven Year Itch” with Naley!
• Q9: “I can’t believe you talked me into marrying you when I was 16!”  “I know!  What the hell was I thinking?”–Haley and Nathan
• Adding ‘in bed’ to your fortune was done on 90210 circa 1993.
• Commercial for the 10pm news promotes some story about Gossip Girl getting you free dinner.  Anyone catch it?
• How far is Charleston from Tree Hill?
• Q10: “Chester would love it.”  “I’m sure this place comes with things that could eat Chester.”–Haley and Nathan
• Q11: “Whenever I need inspiration, I can watch you play.  Shirtless.”–Haley
• Q12: “One attention whore per a family is enough, don’t ya think?”–Haley
• Most kids dream of life on a tour bus?  I don’t think so…
• Haley is definitely right about the risks involved, and how badly it didn’t work last time around.
• Q13: “I couldn’t live with myself knowing my dream kept you from pursuing yours.”–Nathan
• Now: “The Deleted Scene” with Brooke and Julian.  Wondering what it’s a reference to?
• LOL  So meta with the Who’sDatedWho site.
• Never occurred to me that Brooke might’ve fallen in love during the 5 years they skipped over.  But apparently she didn’t?
• Ah!  Lucas references!  Lucas and Peyton references!  So much nostalgia this episode.  I love it!
• Totally deja vu for Julian.  I feel bad for him.  Understand his concerns.
• Q14: “I’m the girl who’s dating the guy who came to town to get Peyton back.”–Brooke
• Q15: “Sucks always being the footnote in someone else’s love story.”–Brooke
• Brooke and Peyton have very understated makeup this episode. I like it.
• Q16: “Lucas and Peyton’s story is all about romance and destiny and fate, but you’re different.  Brooke Davis writes her owns story.”–Julian
• Q17: “You can’t choose who you love.  But you choose whether or not you open your heart to love.”–Julian
• How long have Brooke and Julian been together?  It does seem a little soon for I love you.
• Julian is a romantic. I like that.
• No Sam this episode.  Don’t mind.
• Julian right on calling Brooke out on being scared and feeling unworthy.
• What Molly Ringwald dance and when?
• Maybe Brooke doesn’t love him.  That’s possible.
• She agrees that it’s too soon!
• And now The Deleted Scene title makes sense.  Clever.
• Q18: “I’ll wait for you.”–Julian (Love the double meaning!)
• Julian looks like he’s about to cry!  Sad!
• Lastly: “The Cold War” with Dan and Deb
• Really missed scenes with the two of them.
• Q19: “He’s a great kid who unfortunately drank the Dan Scott KoolAid.”–Deb
• Pretty sure they didn’t have a petting zoo at Disney back when they supposedly whent.
• Jamie and his questions never stop being adorable.
• Dan gave a good answer about some couples not being able to go all the way.
• Left his beeper with Jamie.  Hmmm.
• Look at that photo album!  Wish we could see more of that.
• Keith photos!  So great.
• Q20: “Whenever I think that the man I love is still in there, I remember you stood in that hallway and looked your brother in the eye and pulling the trigger.
• Yes!  They’re finally discussing all of this!
• Love all the references to things that happened in the earlier seasons.  A new viewer would probably be so confused right now!
• Q21: “I pulled the trigger but you loaded the gun.”–Dan
• Never thought of Deb feeling guilty.
• Aw, Karen and Lily reference!
• Jamie had to hear the fighting, no?
• The pager!  Of course it would go off!
• Promo for next week looks a little bizarre.
