trillianastra*is dead from awesome*
Er, yeah, I maybe watched the last three episodes of Season One last night.
16. "all about my brother":
ERIC!! Can I just say... I kinda love Eric. He's fantastic. (Um, totally called the gay thing, though.) HOWEVER, G's EVIL is now absolutely, 150% definite.
(Slightly disappointed with Lily, but I actually LIKE Lily, so I got over that pretty fast.)
Oh, and Asher?
Yeah, I no longer have any use for Asher. Loser.
17. "woman on the verge":
I... wait... OK, so Serena... wait, no, sorry, the idea of Serena (even bad-times-Serena) killing anyone is just... freaky.
What I love about this ep is that Serena being in trouble is all that's necessary to get Nate, Chuck and Blair in the same room without them trying to kill each other. It's like Blair said - "we're like the non-judgemental Breakfast Club", and they really do know each well and (pretty obviously) they've shared enough experiences that they really do care for each other. And the fact that once they knew about G, there was NO QUESTION of them NOT doing anything about it - that was awesome.
Also: WOO, actual Rufus/Lily. FINALLY (I... could not care less about Bart. Sorry.). And... yeah, still having this issue of needing to put as much space as possible between Dan and G.
Preferably, most of the universe. But I'll settle for most of America.
18. "Much 'I Do' About Nothing":
a) Chuck's best man speech made me go AWWWWWW. Because we all know who he was talking to really...
b) Blair (and Dan) delivering Georgina-smackdown was EPIC. This is all.
c) NATE. I felt so bad for him when the Captain was meeting Dodgy Guy... but the punch was good. I LIKED the punch. (Also, Nate seems to have a pretty good right hook. Hm.)
d) UM. So, at the end, when Blair's expecting to head to Tuscany with Chuck and he ditches her for Random Girl...
Well, it wasn't exactly unexpected, was it? This is CHUCK BASS, after all. And as awesome as Chuck/Blair is, and as meant-for-each-other as they are... it wouldn't be any FUN if them getting to an actual RELATIONSHIP was EASY, would it?
Random Thoughts:
1. Er. Much as I like Serena, and I LOVE Dan, and I think they're great together...
I think I'm more attached to Rufus/Lily than I am to Serena/Dan. Maybe because only one of those has been twenty years in the making and has (....sort of) survived five marriages (four of Lily's, one of Rufus') and four children.
Also, Rufus and Lily did sleep together the night before she married Bart, and right before the ceremony she did tell Rufus she loved him. Thus, obviously they're soulmates. Serena and Dan aren't old enough to know who their soulmates are yet.
2. Kind of... by accident... Nate has maybe become my fandom bicycle for GG.
HE'S JUST SO PRETTY. Just in S1, I've shipped him with virtually everyone else - Jenny, Vanessa, Serena, Chuck, Dan, (kinda) Blair... there was even a twenty-second period when Nate/Georgina popped into my head, but then I reminded myself that she is EVIL and does not deserve him.
(For the record, Nate/Jenny is my perfect-world favourite, Nate/Vanessa is my practical-favourite, and Nate/Chuck... well, if THAT ever happens (*cough*3x06*cough*), it'd be like Christmas for me. That, or the world would implode.)
3. I HAVE THE FIRST BOOK.
Now... on to SEASON TWO.

You have NO IDEA how much I hate G. I mean, she ruins the show for me a bit, and it's only because of Buffy. I hate her stupid hound dog looking face. SHE IS JUST HORRIBLE.
Chuck/Nate is my OTP FO SHO.
STILL LOVING THAT YOU LOVE IT.
