(Season 2, Episodes 6-7) Does Gossip Girl ever have peaks and valleys when it comes to drama? For a season and a half, it has felt like just … stuff happening. It’s non-stop and ridiculous, that’s for sure, but it doesn’t feel like there are consequences to anyone’s actions. For a while, I thought the […]
(Season 2, Episode 5) You guys, you guys. I have a confession. This show is exhausting me again. All these girls are so mean and I’m tiring myself out from ducking and dodging their flying cat claws. If we could find a way to power machines with super-bitchery, Gossip Girl would save the environment. Someone […]

It seems like the school doesn’t have an official uniform, with […]

Until I find a reason to take River super-seriously, I’m going […]
(Season 2, Episode 3) The second season of Gossip Girl is slowly starting to look like it’s picking up speed and I finally feel like I really know the characters. Of course, I realize that as soon as I get comfortable with who these characters are, the writers are going to do something nuts and […]
