geebsSo there's new, extended promo for the next ep of Gossip Girl out. You know, I've been waiting for Dan and Blair to hook up since 1x04, but something tells me I'm going to end up being sorely disappointed. Like its just going to be one big tease, and the whole thing will be swept under the rug by seasons end. It does annoy me that the naysayers are saying the show is just randomly hooking up people because they've run out of ideas. But like I've said, I think them hooking up has been a long time coming. People say they would never, because they're total opposites, but other than the money thing, they're actually quite similar. They're both hopeless romantics with similar tastes, more apt for each other than Chuck or Serena. Plus, Leighton Meester's prettier than Blake Lively, so if I were Dan, the choice would be obvious.
TV commentary:
SVU- Interesting, I wasn't expecting Jeremy Irons' character to come back. Also, since I didn't see any promos for this, Juliet was also a surprise. Of course, that did kinda spoil things, because its like, they're interviewing the dead girl's teachers, and you have a bunch of random nobodies, and then Elizabeth Mitchell. Gee, I wonder which of those people are involved. Still, I think this was one of the better eps of SVU in recent weeks, particularly because Jeremy Irons and Elizabeth Mitchell did such good jobs.
I know some people complained on the forums, what's with these eps having to have some insane random twist. And while the twist in this ep was crazy, I think it actually worked in the context of the show, unlike Rose Mcgowen and Opie ending up being brother and sister last ep, I mean, them being brother and sister seemed to be a twist for twist's sake. It didn't actually bring anything into the table, other than shock value.
Now, the fact that Juliet and her younger half sister were sexually abused by their mom, and that the sister was still being abused by the mom was shocking, it still fit within the story. Juliet taking the blame for the crime to protect her sister out of guilt for not protecting her sister from their mom was appropriate.
It was sad to hear that Cap's daughter didn't make it after the end of last ep. I mean, since she hadn't yet died at the end of the ep he was first in, there was the possibility she might survive. But apparently not!
