Last time I was blindfolded was when I had to play the piano at that weird masquerade party.

Ugh, still feeling sick. Why does it have to be so friggin' cold right now?

TV commentary:

On Gossip Girl, that was pretty low of the Captain to convince Nate and his mom to go with him to the Caribbean so he could extort the Vanderbilts for money. But Chuck and Vanessa give Nate the heads up, and he convinces his dad to turn himself in. Oh, and looks like they are going ahead with a Nate/Jenny/Vanessa triangle. When both Nate and little J told V separately that "they hadn't heard from the other in weeks", I was wondering if they were just gonna leave it at a point where V knows both still have feelings for the others, but just assumed the other didn't because they hadn't talked in a while. Like I thought they might be going the vague route, and you didn't know Vanessa was purposely keeping them apart. But then a few seconds later, she hides the letter Nate sent to Jenny. Evil!

So Lily was in a sanitarium when she was 19? Or was she? On TV, when a chick has to go away for a while, that's always code for she was preggers and they hid the birth so as to not cause a scandal. Do she and Rufus have a lovechild out there? I heard a rumor that GG was gonna have an upcoming storyline similar to one on 90210, but they weren't specific, but that's the only storyline I can think of that would fit. Unless they all of a sudden get a new classmate who's really a narc.

Oh, and I was kinda hoping that when Aaron showed back up at Serena's, he'd be all, "Holy crap, I read your file, and I'm out!!" Well, not exactly hoping, but that woulda been hilarious! One problem with them showing the guest stars at the beginning, I saw the guy who plays Blair's dad was in the credits, so its like, "Gee, I wonder if the surprise they had for Blair was gonna be Harold showing up and not the engagement?" Still, that was hilarious when Blair and Jenny met up and Blair was telling Jenny how lucky she was. Well, at first, I was skeptical she would notice that, but at least they did it in a way that made sense- Blair knew Rufus cared because she's been able to use that to manipulate him to get back at Jenny several times. HA! Double ha, when Jenny was all, "See your mother cares!" when Eleanor shows up, but the first thing she does is dote on Jenny! How deliciously cruel!!

****

Owel, on Chuck, I was kinda hoping they weren't gonna go the whole Jill is an enemy agent route, but they did. I mean, that's so obvious and prosaic! It resolves the whole triangle easily, because Jill's a bad guy. And now, he doesn't even have to feel bad about Bryce stealing Jill from him back in college, because again, she was a bad guy.

****

On Heroes, what's with all the sappy couple-ness this ep? First, you have Sylar and Elle. Sylar lets Elle let out all her frustration on him, and then she's all "kill me!" and he's all, "no, our parents made us monsters!" and they share a moment and he gets her power without having to cut her head open. Wait, so are they implying he could've always done what Peter did (and vice-versa)? But heh, then Sylar and Elle start playing with electricity, with sexy results, all the while Arthur is watching! What's with these Petrellis being all creepy? First with the inappropriate closeness, now watching when another is trying to get their freak on? (Oh, and I've been assuming KBell and Zach Quinto have a fag-hag thing going, but they seem to be pretty close in a lot of the pics of them out and about)

Oh, and then you have Matt and Daphne. When Matt tries to break Angela out of her coma, he starts getting hurt for reals, so Daphne gets him to let her in and she's all, "Yeah, I was being a double agent, but not anymore because I lurve you!" I get he's been nothing but nice to her, but it just doesn't seem like enough time has passed for her to choose that over whatever ominous threat Arthur keeps throwing at her.

And how is 9th Wonders still being published? Is there some other seer besides Isaac who's been writing stories?!

Interesting ep of Sarah Connor Chronicles. With so much time traveling going on, they were bound to start fiddling with the future, so that Jesse is possibly from a different future than the one Derek's from. (I wonder if even he and Cameron are from the same future?) But wait, is the implication that the whole Fisher thing is circular? Older Fisher (played by Toby from West Wing) said he survived judgment day because he was in a high security detention facility serving a life sentence. But he never said why? Was it because he always came back from the future, using his younger self's (played by Warren from Buffy) credentials to set up that back door, getting his younger self in trouble (for treason, possibly, given he planted a virus that would get into essential military systems) and thrown in prison, protecting him from the bombs when they dropped?

****

So on Prison Break, they almost have Scylla, but not only are Gretchen and T-bag waiting to ambush them, but the General knows what's up. And Self and Trish have been captured by the Chinese. I saw next week previews, so I know some of what's going on, but I'm curious why they need Sarah in the courtyard with a gun.

I do find it retarded that they send the guy having seizures across the catwalk to cut through the glass wall. Well, that and I was skeptical that they did a good job keeping quiet and hiding their heat signature. How convenient from the sensor to change color like that so they know when they trip it!

What was up with last night's OTH ep? I mean, here's a little story with the cast in the 1940s? That's kinda pointless! And it was also confusing because I wasn't sure if 40s Dan/Lucas/Nathan were supposed to be related even though they all have the last name. Because it sure didn't seem like Dan was their Dad. I mean, they mention Keith, and say he was Lucas' uncle, but the interactions between the three didn't seem like it was a father/brothers thing. Like, if 40s Dan had a thing for Peyton's mom and ended up taking care of her, then surely she would have passing familiarity with Lucas. Owel, I guess it doesn't matter, since the ep doesn't matter in the scheme of things. Though they manage to write roles in for Owen and Julian, but not Millie or Gigi?

And they had to drag out the reveal on Chuck for like 3 minutes. Why couldn't the computer have revealed Casey or Sarah, then have last episode be about how whatshername changed the info on the flash drive or whatever.

And speaking of which, the government gets a list of rogue agents, has it for long enough for Chuck to go back to his apartment, hatch a plan to sneak out undetected, drive out to somewhere that looks like the country, drive back from there... and the whole time they didn't make a copy of the data?
