On the problems of shipping on Gossip Girl
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.
