    "Good"
    By Canogaparkcindy, Mar 12, 2011 Report Abuse
    A very feel good episode of Gossip Girl, this show still has some kinks to work out though. I didn't like how Jenny is already being corrupted as early as the first couple of episodes, but I kind of like that she has the potential to become the next "Blair." Her character (Jenny) still annoys me to no end though.

    All she really came off as was a wannabe 14 year old that was just trying too hard, I guess that was the intention, but I simply do not like her character. The Dan & Serena development was nice, and we got some subtle humor along the way.

    The absence of Chuck & Nate didn't do this show any harm, which goes to show how unnecessary they are to the show as of now. The bar fight at the end was a little too much, hasn't this happened like three times already? Anyways, overall enjoyable installment.moreless

    I have seen this episode before, and that was my first time on watching it, after watching it from the start I think it is better this time around. I don't like Serena's mother, trapping Eric. I love this episode, mostly because Dan and Serena have there offical first date, it was so cute and fun oh and awkward, but that's just Dan. I loved the way Jenny and Blair were this episode and I'm glad Jenny stood up for herself in the end. Gossip Girl hasn't had a bad episode yet. Can't wait to watch more for Gossip Gilr, bring it on.moreless

    This was a light hearted episode, no real drama here, just lots of fun. I enjoyed the storyline from start to finish, obviously especially Blair's little "pijama party".

    One thing this episode lacked, and thought Iwould just say it was Chuck. I kind of figured he'd only come into play in the show but at least have him in every episode...

    I liked Serena's and Dan's date it was rather fun, at times awkward but that's just Dan. Best part: Dan cancelling his order at the restaurant.

    Also liked that Serena's mother got some development and she's not really irritating anymore. It was much needed. So yes I enjoyed the "parents" storyline this episode, which was arguably the weak point of the show thus far.

    i liked that Jenny stood up for herself in the end. While this was predictable it was still good to see it play out. She, when isn't hanging out with Blair is a witty, strong teenage girl, but with Blair she always is this 5 year old doll, so yea, I loved the ending.

    I also like how twisted Blair's character is. It's just very intriguing... at this point probably more than Serena! Great episode overall .moreless

    What a differance we saw today in Jenny, I guess one can say that Blair really changed her and it's a shame if she turns out to be like Blair as she is such a sweet girl.

    We see the First Kiss between Serena and Dan. I am so happy for those two as they make such a cute couple.

    Lily and Rufus managed to make a bit of peace in this episode as when they meet they are always at each others throat.

    I am really happy that Jenny took Eric out tonight cause he really needed it and it was a wake up call for his mum too, to get him to come home!

    Blair was back to her old self in this episode and it's a shame as when she is a nice person she is a lot better!moreless

    This was an okay episode. I've always wanted to throw a slumber party like Blair's. Everything was so fabulous and gorgeous I wanted to just go inside my TV. Jenny was sweet and so innocent at the start, but at the end she was like, BAM! Little J no more. It was cool that she was able to twist B's manipulations to her own advantage. I liked Serena and Dan in this ep :D The whole "I'll just have the appetizer as the main" was so funny. A Nate and Chuck-less episode! That's why I only gave it a 9, lol. Blair and Jenny bonding was really cool. I wish they'd bond more often.moreless
