For some time I've been wanting to write my own Daily Intel style Gossip Girl review... Here I g go (please add your comments!!):
A somewhat realistic episode?
I found almost nothing too outrageous with last night's episode compared to last season... but there were a few amazing lines and a few glaring errors
As real as Nate masturbating to an L.L. Bean catalog...
+50
Serena would be so stupid that she would think speakeasies existed because of the depression and not prohibition
+40
Dan and Vanessa would think that popularity doesn’t exist in college
+ 300
"There was toro!" at Blair’s party (Blair would think that other people know what toro is and that it’s very expensive)
+15
Marquee IS sooo bridge and tunnel on the weekends
+15
Most of Dan and Serena’s outfits
+10
OMJC shirts, again. Those Jesus freaks would only have those shirts.
+5
"No headbands!"
+5
Serena is finally a bitch again
+50
Dan and Georgina-- Dan being a straight college guy would drunkenly hook up with her +15 (-10 for the couch on the roof. WTF? and another -5 for not sneaking away the next morning. I refuse to think his opinion of her could change that much in one night)
even
About as realistic as a keg party on the roof of an NYU dorm...
Chuck's joke about Liza Millnneli concert at Carnegie Hall and NYU gays.... like he would posess the knowledge to even formulate that joke (although he is bi in the books)
-10
The homogenous outfits and general hipster/granola attitudes of the ENTIRE NYU student body
-10
Carter's Hair-- very (0riginal) 90210.... boys from the UES would never try out that look
-10
How did those Jesus freaks get in from upstate on such short notice? And if it wasn't a last minute call, why would Blair show up to the party hours before their arrival? (and that nobody would have been hitting on her... even hipsters aren't immune to a hot, lonely girl)
-10
Sushi party—AGAIN?? OMFG? What is it with you writers? (points for graduating to Masa… but you still come out negative…)
-30
How does that girl recognize Dan totally randomly?? Even if he was published…
-5
You can not just request a roommate without mutual permission, everyone who has been to college knows this
-150
Chuck Bass is struggling to find a location to open his speak-easy? HELLOOO --- His dad was the Donald Trump of this show! Not to mention he is a billionaire
-500
Nate carrying the boarding pass to?
-100
Blair constantly in high heels. I’m from the upper east side and girls like Blair are my friends, and we don’t wear high heels constantly especially during the day.
-25
The age inappropriateness of Blair’s red outfit
-25
You would have totally told your doorman to keep his f****ng mouth shut about your guest and then slipped him a couple of $20's or a $100 if finding out about your escapade means tears. Or go to Nate's place. B. Buckley, epic fail. -50 (plus +5 for being stupid about obvious things when filled with lust)
-45
Everything about Blair’s party
-50
The fact that Blair was incapable of finding any other rich and fashionable girls at NYU of all places to be her minions... really??
-50
That nobody left the party to go to Monkey Bar with Blair
-50
Butter and several other Blair hangouts from previous seasons are well below 14th st making her comment on the MET stairs about never going downtown in high school seem ridiculous. After all the only place to get drunk on the UES is Dorrian's or other people's places. And the shopping in the LES/Nolita/SoHo/West Village?? c'mon -25 (+20 Blair would make a ridiculous generalization like that while suffering cognitive dissonance)
-5
We come out well in the negative for the roof party and the Chuck story line... I hope this gets to the writers so that they can watch out in the future
XOXO
EBW
