Gossip Girl: a list #2

It's Wednesday so of course, my (2nd) weekly list of comments questions and concerns about this weeks episode of Gossip Girl...

-Okay so the writers remembered Nate this week, sort of.  He was in it, but barely.  Probably what happened was they finished the script and then were like "oops, we forgot Nate again, let's just throw him in the first scene so we don't get in trouble."  

-Not that anyone cares but it was Vanessa and Nate's anniversary.  Anniversary?!?  What anniversary?  Like their 2 week and three day anniversary?  Randommmmm.  In case anyone forgot (which is reasonable) Nate and Vanessa are main characters.  They need to be in every episode, not just when the writers feel like throwing them in and pretending they've been dating for a significant amount of time.  How can they be having an anniversary when they haven't even been in the same scene since before Thanksgiving?

-When Vanessa drops the candy in the store that she's getting Nate for their alleged "anniversary", Dan picks it up and gives it back to her.  Gross.  I'm usually all for the 5 second rule but in a store?  In New York City?  In the winter?  People's wet boots have been all up in thurr. 

-gossipgirl.com word of the day:  Cokettes.  Definition: girls that do coke?  Un-real.  Try to use it in a sentence today.  But Chuck really shouldn't have ditched Blair for them, one looked like she was 12 and when Blair was waiting for him, it was literally the hottest she's ever looked, ever.

-Penelope is such a bitch, someone should really stab her.  I think they only put her in more now because she was in the Dark Knight.  But, she was basically an extra so whatever...

-Chuck looked like inspector gadget in that trench-coat.

-Underrated:  Eric and Jonathan have matching plaid backpacks.

-I appreciate the Clueless reference because I obviously want to be Alicia Silverstone and can recite every line of that movie by heart... but how could Serena compare this situation to Cher and Josh and NOT to Adrien Grenier and Melissa Joan Hart in Drive me Crazy?  If it's because Melissa Joan Hart has a lazy eye, then that's just racist...

-Lil J, what up with the mullet?  I was born with a case of chronic bad hair day, mixed with uncontrollable jew fro AND i just got back from the gym, and my hair still looks better than yours did in this entire episode.  Doooo something about that...

-Gossip Girl writers, I know I give you a hard time and I must apologize.  I had little faith when the adopted child was "dead,"  I should have known you'd come up with THE BEST STORY LINE EVER.  Those adoptive parents are sooo sleazy.  Lying that their son is dead by using a newspaper clipping about their other son who actually is dead?  That's a new low.... Ugh yet another movie/tv show that makes people from Boston look bad (i.e.Gone Baby Gone)  Regardless... genius.  I cannot wait to see this kid.  He's obviously going to be gorgeous, who will he hook up with!? Half the cast are his siblings.

You know you love me,
