Gossip Girl: Serena Does Not Understand the Definition of the Word "Kill"

Sometimes it sucks to be right. I was worried that “I killed someone” storyline would turn out to be something stupid, and yesterday’s episode was just that. Oh no, she gave an asshole drug addict who was trying to take advantage of her the line of coke (his own coke, by the way) that killed him. And then she called 911 and waited outside the hotel to see if he was okay. There wasn’t even any sex on the supposed-to-be sex tape! I thought Serena was supposed to be a real trainwreck before she went away (which she kind of was considering the fact that she fucked Nate), but she was pretty much a good girl during the entire incident that resulted in her leaving town.

In other sucky news, Vanessa and Dan are both retarded. Seriously, they learn that “Sarah” has been lying about her name and that all of her rich friends think she is an untrustworthy psycho, and then Dan gobbles up Georgina’s lame story about a stalker boyfriend. To Vanessa’s credit, at least she seemed to be pissed about Georgina’s deception. She just wasn’t pissed enough.

And then, then, to top it all off, Dan hooks up with the girl everyone has told him is an untrustworthy psycho the same fucking day he broke up with Serena because he thought she cheated on him. And he skips his dad’s biggest gig in years in order to hook up with said psycho bitch. What a fucking douchebag.

Also, why was Nate going to take the subway? Poser.

So what did I like about last night’s episode? Serena’s friends coming together to help her was great. On a show where the characters are constantly fighting and switching alliances, the fact that they were willing to put aside all of their differences to aid Serena was both touching and authentic. It was a testament to Serena’s genuine goodness that all of her friends dropped everything, including their mixed feelings for one another, all for her sake. Blaire is truly Serena’s sister.

Speaking of Blaire, her and Chuck were awesome last night. It sucks that they didn’t get to destroy Georgina is last night’s episode, but their I cannot wait for next week for them to do so. The fact that the two of them both went to Rufus’s concert with the sole purpose of destroying Georgina is the reason I love both of them (and the reason they should totally start hooking up! As I told my friend, their union would create a vortex of bitchiness and destruction more powerful than anything the UES has ever experienced). They’re obviously going to destroy Georgina because she harmed Serena, but we all know that the two of them will also derive a lot of pleasure from the process of the bitch’s annihilation.

Is there anything else I forgot to cover? Oh yeah, Lily cheats the day before her wedding. She and Rufus are so obviously meant to be together, I’ll be surprised if she goes through the marriage. Hopefully she does, because a cheating storyline would be a lot more fun than a real relationship storyline. Also, it would dirty up their relationship a little bit which I would really prefer. I’m not gonna lie, I found their storyline yesterday to be just a little too perfect for this otherwise sharp show.

Anyway, next week is the season finale! Ahhhh! How can I possibly survive this summer without Kristen Bell’s nonsensical voiceovers?
