Watch It, Rae! Tv reviews for the critically minded.

To sum this episode up basically Serena and Blair make up, Ivy has a thing for old men, Bart blackmails Nate, and Dan is writing a Serena chapter. I don’t want to talk about Chuck and Blair because I don’t know if I can handle them dragging it out much more, he can’t beat Bart so he can’t be with Blair? There pact is silly. Overall I did actually think it was a good episode, it was quite fast paced and they managed to cram a lot into it, so here is  a quick recap. At the start of the

If you like Dan and Serena as a couple and want to be reminded of things that happened in season 1, this is the episode for you. It personally wasn’t my favourite episode of the season but I think it is safe to say that is probably because of the lack of Chair. It’s like we asked for Chuck and Blair, instead they give us Dan and Serena. They are dragging this out way too long.  Not that much actually happened this episode so my review/recap may be slightly brief. At the beginning of the episode Blair was getting ready for he

A debutante ball, Chuck and Blair, Dan and Serena and scheming Georgina. Its pretty much season one all over again. We are already half way through the last ever season of Gossip Girl, with only 5 episodes left and Chuck and Blair still aren’t together!

Anyway this week’s episode was probably one of the best this season, it had some great one liners but it also had a lot of story lines that I really don’t care about

I think this episode of Gossip Girl is the definition of keeping it in the family. Steven found out that Serena had slept with his daughter’s boyfriend, Nate, only for Serena to then find out that Steven has in fact slept with her mom! In the last episode we found out that Dan had screwed Nate over, because he’s such a nice person these days, and after Nate had published the first chapter of his book Dan wasn’t going to let him publish the next chapter. At the start of this episode we realize it was probably because next chapter was actually

We’re only the second episode into the final season and there is already more relationships, more blackmail, more scheming, and more infidelity than probably the whole of season 5. I think this season is really clever for its parallels with season one, last week we saw Serena on the train, this week Serena is back to the Upper East Side and doesn’t tell Blair she’s back. They’re obviously doing it to show the growth in the characters but it also shows that some people never change. The episode starts with everyone waking up, Serena with her new boyfriend Steven, Nate and
