You mean there was someone else in the room, filming?!

So last night I was at the Hannah Montana concert trolling for chyx. Okay, not really, what do you think I am, some sick perv? But on the ride in to work, I'm hearing one of the stations recounting the event from last night, and the venue was supposedly jam packed, even more so than when they have more established artists, like the Eagles. And I heard some tickets were going for like $2500! Do kids have that much buying power? Well, their parents? Is it because if parents are buying it for their brats, money is no object, as opposed to even the most crazed obsessed fan of a normal musical artist/group? And on the radio they were saying parents had rented limos for their kids to ride in? It just sounds very weird, because I had no idea she was that popular.

What was up with that Shrek the Halls Christmas special last night? Why did they have that and the Grinch and push Pushing Daisies to 9pm? So it, Gossip Girl, and Bionic Woman were all on at the same time. Thank goodness for dual recorder DVRs. Though if it came to it, I'd have dropped Bionic Woman, which I don't know why I still watch. Well, she is kinda hot, especially when she uses her native English accent. And her younger sister (i.e., Robin Scherbatsky's little sis, or Mini-Coop's friend from boarding school) is hot (and legal!) as well.

TV commentary:

I thought this was a hysterical episode, from Molly Shannon in the cheesy Hitchcockian homage/parody with the birds, to Olive's "I knew it was you, Fredo!" HA!!!!! I was also amused by the Eye-talian stereotypes, like the one guy doing the Joey Tribbiani "How You Doin'?". Wait, was this a whole weird Tony and Tina's wedding reference? Oh, and nice cat-suits, "Pi-hoes"!

But talk about a shocking ender! Ned reveals he killed her dad! But argh, have to wait 2 weeks to see how that turns out! Though the fruit thing had me wondering how it exactly works. Obviously, for him to make the fruit ultra-fresh, more fruit has to die. They've established he can resurrect those killed because of the time out, when he revived the funeral director. So is it that he has a constant chain of fruit coming in and out, so he takes the dying rotten fruit, makes it into the pie, which kills a different batch of fruit. But then he revives that batch and kills the next batch, etc? Is that how he does it?



The ep already gets points for the hilarious title, "Blair Waldorf Must Pie!" As proof that I am such a girl, I was giddy with anticipation over the whole Rufus-Allison-Lily thing when it became clear that the Van der Woodsens were coming to the Humphrey's Thanksgiving dinner. But it looks like everyone knows now. It was hilarious to have them wonder about Eric's parentage, given his dark roots.

But what was with Allison the hypocrite? She's all huffy that Rufus kissed Lily, when he did that only after he found out she was frakking the neighbor? And its not like it was a one time mistake, she seemed to be in a relationship with the guy, until Jenny brought her back to NYC to work things out. I know, she's had to live in the shadow of Lily, blah-blah, but still. Anyways, she gives an ultimatum, and Rufus chooses Allison, for now. And Dan should be more squicked out about the whole "I used to know a girl just like Serena" deal. How's that going to work anyways, Lily's out of Rufus' life, but their children are dating. I know Allison's all intimidated, but it seems unreasonable to have her out of their lives completely!

Nate's boring story is that he's boring and his dad tries to OD, and his family's all effed up. I was wondering if his mom was one of those "trying to protect her rich lifestyle because she used to be poor" people, but she isn't, she's independently rich. Interesting though, I didn't realize his dad also got his job from the mother.

Blair as usual, steals the show. Given how happy and excited about her father (played by Adam of Mutant X, or Lois and Clark's incarnation of Lex Luthor) coming for Thanksgiving, it should be obvious he wasn't gonna come. Ah, and Blair's bulimic? Those quick flashbacks they had when she was about to have an episode, I was wondering if those were new, or where they subtle clues in previous eps? Because I'm not sure if I recognized those scenes. Its good to see she recognizes the problem at least.

Anyways, no Chuck this ep. But had a fleeting Dan/Blair moment with her finding his cabbage patch kid. (I'm still holding out for those two, it would be so awesome!) It was interesting to see the younger Humphreys and Van Der Woodsens and Blair hang out. I wonder what Blair will do when she finds out Jenny was the one with Nate?

Krug's original thought was that he was touching the fruit twice so that they'd be freshly dead... which sorta makes sense from an actual plant life/death perspective, but might be confusing to the audience. But when he ate his pie and it turned rotten, I guess that's not what they're going with. Didn't he have flowers in a nearby windowsill or something once? Did they die when he was making pie?
