"Perfect"

By DjordjeCvetko, Jun 21, 2011 Report Abuse

First of all, I do not how many time they spent on making this episode. But it was perfect.

Blair has a lot of reasons to be angry on her boyfriend Nate, and Chuck is - Chuck. These three are very complicated characters and that makes this triangle is tough for everybody - as Nate and Chuck are really good friends. or not? Celia 'CeCe' Rhodes is a perfect villain. She used every dirty trick she can in order to get what she want. Lilly wasn't able to fight her, and she was her first victim. After 20 years she got a chance to fight back: she helped Serena by bringing Dan, and that was something that even Cece liked. She was beaten, but she has every reason to be happy. That was an epic moment. This amazing scenes were followed by great music: The Pierces - Three Wishes and Timbaland - Apologize ft. OneRepublic. Also, Gossip Girl lines were perfect to make this episode even better.

Best Gossip Girl episode - ever!moreless

"Good"

Another good episode of Gossip Girl, I hate to say it, but this is a good show. I was really skeptical before, but I have been pleased with this show. You can't help but feel bad for Chuck, no matter how sinister he gets, he still has feelings. I'm interested in seeing where he's going.

I'm really liking the Serena & Dan relationship, and I really hope these two make it by the end of the series. Of course there has too be conflict, but this episode made it clear that these two do belong together, as do Rufus & Lilly apparently.

Jenny is beginning to annoy me now more than ever, her attitude is annoying and the way she treated her mother in this episode was just downright painful to watch. Gossip Girl may have some scenes that drag on for what it seems to be ages, but we always get a great payoff in the end. Good episode.moreless

You have to realize that gossip girl is one of the charecter based strongest dramas. İ belive it will grow and going to get better than ever be.

For that show, in this episode we got what we must have. All the stones must be in their right place and that episode showed to us that it would be. i donno or cannot figure out all that gossips in life comes from lies but so when you face the truth and you can't efford to face it, so time comes, and all you gotto do pick up your bags and run.moreless

Amazing episode. This show has something really unique in it. It always manages to amaze me - no matter which episode I watch, the ending always seems to impress me very much. And these music choices - wow... It gave me chills!!!

Dan & Serena find eachother... ONCE AGAIN! Really, how many times have that happened? But I don't mind, it's always so fun to watch them break up and then get together again.

Chuck's plan to get Nate out of the picture worked well... seemingly. But unfortunately he ended up on the loser's side. I felt sorry for him - he might be a sort of villain but I just keep thinking AND saying that there's much more to him than what meets the eye.

Serena's grandmother - what an annoynace, but loved how that concluded. Oh , and the phonecall between Rufus and Lily? Awesome. Allison's days are counted(yay!)

Lots of plot & Character development going on here that's for sure. But what made this episode the best so far is how well it all played out in the end, and how awesome the montage was... XOXO.moreless

"Superb"

By laughandlive, Jun 29, 2008 Report Abuse

I thought this was a very revealing and special episode. being a devoted Gossip Girl fan, I thought this episode was a change of pace. it was about time we have a new (or should I say old) villian in the mix. When grandma CeCe came back and basically revealed to Rufus that Lily had to choose between her family or him, i was shocked. how could someone put her daughter in that sort of position? besides that major story line, the rest of the episode went by pretty fast. i kind of knew blair would get back with nate and break chuck's poor little heart. after the first 5 seconds upon CeCe's arrival, i knew she was going to crush Darena. And with Alison's return (i never really liked her), i think she was a little hard on Jenny. it's like she wanted jenny to prove that she was still herself and not superficial. besides some dead parts, it was a pretty well writen episode. two thumbs up josh!moreless
