When you say its gonna happen now, when exactly do you mean?
Heh, first puppies, now kitties:
TV commentary:
Gossip Girl- What the hell is a guerilla fashion show? Do roving bands of models really crash fancy paties and throw impromptu fashion shows?
Anyways, I had looked up the girl playing the daughter of the Yalie Blair was trying to impress since she looked like a young Jennifer Love Hewitt (Is it weird to refer to someone as a young JLH? I mean, JLH is gonna be the big 30 next year!). So I see an article where she's (Stella Maeve) referred to as a "NY fashionista". What the hell is a fashionista? Apparently, "a designer, promoter, or follower of the latest fashions", according to Webster's. People being famous just for wandering around the greatest city in the world looking fashionable. cliffv('What's up with that?')
Oh, and I guess even these shows forget their characters are teenagers because they're mostly played by 20 year olds (though Jenny is her actual age, 15, so isn't it kinda weird they have her making out with a 23 year old?), and all these shows have the kids drinking and staying out til all hours with no consequences (unless such a thing is integral to the plot). So they're supposed to be teens, but engage in behavior more appropriate for college age folks. But to get to my point, you have the Kristen Bell voiceover talking about how Chuck's in the car with jailbait, but if he's supposed to be in high school as well, then the girl's not jailbait!
Bah, no fallout from the whole Dan throwing a whole wrench in the Chuck/Blair relationship this ep. With Serena moving onto this Aaron guy, I'm still holding out hope we'll see a Chuck/Blair/Dan triangle this season.
Speaking of Aaron, he's kinda sketchy. Like he's totally just friends with the girl at the courtyard. Because girls greet their male friends with a kiss on the lips all the time! And then there was the girl who answered the phone. And I find it hilarious how he totally deflected all that when Serena confronted him about it. Its like, he doesn't admit he was seeing other girls, but he's kinda implying it, but its like he blows smoke in her eyes so that she's totally fine with him seeing other girls when he's supposedly trying to court her by appealing to their shared history from their youth.
But the cat's out of the bag with Nate and Jenny. Dan kicks Nate out. I would say he's over-reacting, but given how Nate's whored himself out to cougars to save his family. and pretending to be Dan to bang college co-eds, I can see why Dan would worry that Nate might not be the best guy for his little sister. And Dan manages to prevent V from seeing Nate and little J on GG, but then Vanessa gets a front row seat at the guerilla fashion show. (Oh, and given Blair, Serena, and Chuck had to see Gossip Girl since they slipped that story about Emma's rival in, I'm skeptical they would not care at all about that development!)
Speaking of the fashion show, I find it hilarious that Rufus was trying to chastise Jenny over quitting her internship and then "messing up" Lily and Bart's fancy party, but since Lily actually found it cool, she wasn't gonna press any charges. So you know Rufus was looking at her all, "Dammit, thanx for undermining my authority!" Of course, given that Lily was totally fine with things, I can't see why he's pitching a fit all, "Do you like the person you're becoming?" She's just starting out, no need to assume she's gonna turn into this soulless monster. Especially when what she did was totally tame!
Even more amusing, Jenny doing her thing and being rewarded by the UES high society inspires Dan to finish his story about "Charlie Trout" and send it in. So Rufus is all, "Do I have to worry about you too?" I guess I didn't realize Dan's judginess was inherited.
Getting back to Blair, I was kinda disappointed she didn't blackmail the bitchy Yalie mom, but I guess everything worked out in the end with Emma talking her up to her uncle the Dean. The scene with Serena and Blair then, does that mean they've both decided to go to Yale? Prolly, especially since they've had Yale trying to get in there because of their writing program. And with Chuck having something over the Skulls, it would be convenient if the characters all ended up in the same college.

So on OTH, this Julian guy is just some dude Peyton started dating after she saw Lucas had hooked up with Lindsey? She bumped into him first when she turned down Lucas' proposal way back when, then when she went to see Lucas after he did his book and ran out of the bookstore when she saw he and Lindsey being intimate, the guy just happened to be outside also?! And why the hell did she keep mum about having dated him? It does not make cents!
Oh, and Mouth totally didn't sleep with Gigi. The previews for next week show Millie finding Gigi in Mouth's bed (Wait, aren't they living together? How could Mouth get her in bed? Where was Millie that night then?). But given she drank a whole bunch of beer, he prolly did the nice thing and took her home because she was in no condition to drive home or be by herself. But the previews want you to think something happened.

On HIMYM, I thought they did a pretty convincing job making Robin and Lily into young Robin and young Lily. I mean, the flashbacks had them with teenagers, and they didn't look out of place at all. And wait, is Robin super-rich? It looked like she lived in a mansion! But I'm amused to see that she's the way she is because her dad wanted a boy. (And apparently she's a junior, ha!)
****
On Terminator, I hope they leave LA soon, because it makes no sense for them to stay where they are. I mean, even if John is an emo douche who didn't even mention Chrome Artie showed up (though won't Busy Phillips mention something to Sarah like, "Hey, so what was that creepy guy who came around all about?" And is she preggers in real life? Or did she just balloon up?), they went all around town looking for their stuff, and all of a sudden, the fence they talked to and the culprits are dead. I mean, they talked to the guy's parents, and then he's shot to death? Suspicious!
Well, its good to see their stupid mistakes are beginning to bite them in the ass. I guess Sarah's not a monster, so no way was she gonna reveal to Cameron that there was a 4th person there since Cameron was prolly gonna just execute him. But now Chrome Artie got to him. Of course, I thought Cameron was supposed to be intelligent. She had to have figured out there were four people there already. Even if she didn't notice the shoes, Sarah was all, "Where's the other one?" I would think Cameron would know Sarah would act adversely to her executing those guys, and most likely do what she did, so I would think Cameron would know to wait to see if there was a fourth person there first before killing them all.
And why isn't Chrome Artie killing more people? He shoulda snapped that thief girl's neck like a twig when she became a nuisance rather than just kicking her out of the car! And I call shenanigans on Chrome Artie stomping around LA, and not one person recognizing him!
And I'm definitely curious what Jesse's up to.

On Prison Break, so Gretchen is the General's lover? Well, one of them. Apparently Lisa is one also? But isn't she married to some consul? And how the hell did Gretchen fall for his words? It was totally obvious he was lying! He didn't sound remotely convincing at all!
But Mahone got his revenge and killed Wyatt! Well, he dumped him in the river chained to a cement block! The guy's a freaking terminator though, I guess its possible he could have managed to survive and escape in case they want to bring him back.
Of course, we don't see Bellick drown either. So mebbe he survived too! But he's prolly dead dead. Which is sad, especially since he sacrificed himself to get the pipe in place so they could still steal scylla. Heh, you almost forget he's done some pretty despicable things on the show.
