trillianastra: (gg you know you love me)
OK, so. As you may have gathered from last night's (technically THIS MORNING'S) post, I have finished Season 2.

The finale kinda knocked me for six, slightly (read: massively). So much so that it made me use a sports metaphor just there and I don't usually do that.

ANYWAY. I have now seen the first one-and-a-half episodes of SEASON THREE (re: the half... blame streaming sites and the fact that I don't live in the US). So far, it is glorious, except for *grits teeth* Carter Baizen, who can go DIAF.

ANYWAY. Georgina's back. And at NYU. With Dan and Vanessa and (tee hee) Blair. And she's being... well, Georgina. Not Jesus Camp Georgina, though, that was scary. Just the regular evil-manipulative-Georgina. And I have this problem, because a while back I had this random, slightly cracky idea that at [some unspecified time in their post-college lives] Dan and Georgina meet, by accident, in Vegas and get drunk!married in one of those chapel places with an Elvis impersonator performing the ceremony.

(No, I don't know where that came from either. Yes, it worries me too.)

My problem is that now, every time I see them on screen together, all I can think is "yep, drunk!married in Vegas". THIS IS NOT GOOD, PEOPLE.

(It gets even worse... in the crazy post-college world I've apparently invented for them, they have a KID. Carolina Sparks-Humphrey. She takes after Dan, thankfully.)

Oh, and Scott AKA The Lost Humphrey Brother... I'm quite impressed that the casting people found someone who a) looks enough like Penn Badgeley to conceivably be related and b) looks so much like he could be Matthew Settle's kid.


PS. If I could also get Lady Gaga OUT of my head, that would be good. But I'm not expecting miracles.
trillianastra: (non judging breakfast club)
*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.

I HAVE NOW SEEN:

"the blair bitch project", in which Blair was GLORIOUS and regained her rightful place as Queen B and RULER OF THE KNOWN UNIVERSE.

(Sorry, Jenny. It's not your time yet, padawan.)

AND

"desperately seeking serena", which is...

Well. OK, so Serena's getting all these random deliveries - porn, handcuffs, champagne, and cocaine. She thinks it's Chuck, trying to make her life difficult. (And, honestly, I got very defensive of Chuck this episode. There are SOME things that even he wouldn't do... also, Chuck taking the big brother role for Eric was ADORABLE. Even if the idea of Eric being miniChuck is slightly worrying....)

ANYWAY. The surprise deliveries aren't from Chuck.

They're from the living incarnation of upper-east-side EVIL herself...

GEORGINA SPARKS.

Now, the reason I've taken such a dislike to G is not that she's blatantly trying to derail Serena's new life...

it's the fact the she's showing way, way more interest in Dan than I would like her to. In fact, I'd be happier if she could stay at least a full state away from Dan at all times, but it looks like I'm not going to be that lucky, dammit.

...I'll just be over here with my G.S. voodoo doll.

(to think, a few years back, I would never have this level of hatred for a Michelle Tractenberg character. That might be because I only knew her as Dawn Summers. And honestly, I'll take Dawn over G.S. ANY DAY.)

PS. Asher? HOT.
