I don't care if Monday's blue

Dec 02, 2008 12:02

Is it bad that I'm totally ready for the TV doldrums known as December? I need a break, people. In the meantime, though, some notes on Monday night...

I still find Gossip Girl entertaining, but much like The O.C. before it, Josh Schwartz has created a lead couple (or non-couple, as the case may be) that is simultaneously boring and annoying. ( The simplest terms and the most convenient definitions )

gossip girl, heroes

Dan's cheekbones are easily his best feature. They're practically his *only* feature when he's around S--he has more personality around the other characters.

And while I think a Dan/Blair relationship would be fascinating, in no way, shape, or form do I think C/B can ever approach the utter snoozefest that is D/S. In no small part because Leighton Meester >>>>> Blake Lively.

I guess that's where I don't necessarily agree...I don't think that Chuck/Blair has completely run its course. Sure, they're effed up and dancing circles around each other, but that's just how some relationships are. And certainly, if taken too far it will get boring and played out, but for me it hasn't reached that point. Part of what I enjoy so much might be the fact that I think Leighton and Ed are head and shoulders above the rest of the teen cast, talent-wise, so I enjoy seeing them share the screen.

Plus, there's something inherently fascinating about the interplay between Blair, who had based the entirety of her romantic life with Nate on a fairy-tale construct, being attracted to and developing feelings for Chuck, who is anything but Prince Charming. Eventually, I think they will have to make a go of a 'real' relationship, which will inevitably crash and burn, and then, perhaps they can move on.

And while I can't disagree that Blake's verbal affectations are cringe-worthy, objectively I think she's a beautiful girl.

Lily's dress looked like it was designed to stanch some sort of torso wound or stabilize a broken collarbone. I kind of agree about Rufus deserving a real love interest for balance, but then the part of me that's all "BUT SHE IS HIS MUSE!!!!!" drowns out the logic of how continuously they fail to get it together as a couple.

Oh, I still want them together, no question. I mean, you don't pine this long for nothing. :) But hey, it's been this long, why not a little action for Rufus in the interim?

How did I miss out on a fellow Trory fan shares my love for GG (CB)? I totally agree with everything you said (except Nate choosing V, cuz I hate her. He should have chosen neither.) I think DS is SO incredible boring on and off! I used to like both Serena and Dan, but now I find Serena appalling and Dan varies from amusing to uninteresting from ep to ep. Together however, as a couple as friends, they are truly yawn worthy ( ... )
