Gossip Girl

[vertigo66]

Oh, I forgot to post about Gossip Girl, which I watched last night. I liked it, but I didn't think there was enough humor. The show needs a Seth Cohen. ;) The Dan character was amusing but he and his "dad" look more like brothers. Funny how the father had had a thing with Serena's mother who looks an awful lot like Kelly Rowan, and now the son has a thing for Marissa Serena. And Blair's boyfriend looks an awful lot like Ian Somerhalder in some scenes. I'm wondering where they're going to go with Chuck, who has been pretty much established as a rapist. I hope they don't show his misunderstood, woobie ways so we're all supposed to feel sorry for him and start rooting for he and...Serena to be together. Because homeless boxing! he's a rapist! Also I find him remarkably unattractive. I hope the show has the stones to make Serena's younger brother gay, because that's what I was thinking at first (hey, plenty of gay teens try to commit suicide) but then he kind of eyed Jenny like he was interested. No, no, no. I think As The World Turns is totally spoiling me, making me expect decently written coming-out stories. (I never thought I'd type "decently written" and "ATWT" in the same sentence.)

I heard a lot of comments about this show. Is really so close to The OC?
And a boy really looking like Ian? Wow. Picture or link please *wiggle*

It's this guy. He looks like Ian when his hair is all messy like that. But when his hair is back, he doesn't look that much like Ian.

It's not really close to the O.C. The O.C. was funnier, prettier, and more charming. But I'll keep watching for a while... :)

Oh my gosh! He did look like Ian in some pictures, you're right. Thanks for the link :D

He did, though periodically I thought all the boys, except for Dan, off and on looked an awful lot like each other, and other actors I know from other things. They were pretty nondescript. I'm guessing they'll become more distinct to me in the next few weeks, but it's weird right now. ;)

I read your review and was nodding in agreement. This show really needs some humor, stat! ;)

Hey there! totally off-topic, but I was wondering if you are still planning on coming to the D.C. Bash? The deadline for the discounted hotel rate is tomorrow at 3pm Eastern, but maybe you were not planning to stay in the hotel, since I think you live in the area? Some people may also be looking for roommates. I just wanted to leave a reminder! I really do hope you can come, as it will be a blast.

Yeah, hey, sorry about that...I meant to pursue that further. Yeah, I'd like to come, but probably for just Saturday, and I don't need a room. I am registered on the DC boards as vertigo but I never go there! But if you want to add me to the list as a tentative yes go ahead. Do you need anything else from me right now?

[rhye.livejournal.com]

Nope! Mostly I was just seeing about rooms today.

[vertigo66.livejournal.com]

Okay, thanks!!

It was a good show, definitely sad. I can't stop thinking that Serena left to either have an abortion or a baby, since she left after having sex with her bff's boyfriend. Maybe I'll read the books and spoil myself.

[vertigo66.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Probably had the kid and he/she will come into play later...
