    A very entertaining installment of Gossip Girl and it definitely improved since the pilot episode. The interactions were better even though these characters are had to get in to all things considered, they still are an entertaining bunch.

    The final scene was a bit ridiculous, throwing your cell phone in the trash can? That was just too much, granted, it was a good scene. Jenny doesn't interest me very much and the love triangle between Nate/Blair/Serena also doesn't have me very intrigued.

    I guess the story line I'm most in to is the one between Dan & Serena. We got some noteworthy scenes tonight though, good family interactions, when everyone met up at the brunch, or just Blair's face at seeing Serena in the hotel room. So overall, good episode, but I'm afraid this is as good as this show is going to get.moreless

    I was really glad that this improved rather then got worse.
    I still really like Jenny though I hope she doesn't slip into Blair's crowd of friends. Liked the hydranga bit at the end. Though Blair is a b i t c h I still think she's a great character and very entertaining. I liked Dan more in this episode then the last, I don't really know why. maybe it was his humour. Serena is okay but not my favourite, I'm glad she prefers Dan to Nate, who I don't like. Chuck is just creepy and he reminds me of the main guy in Cruel Intentions. Not overly interested in the adult stories but mabye they'll become interesting. overall this improved and was really good. Let's hope you just gets better!moreless

    I love Gossip Girl, it is so fun to watch. All the characters are amazing. Eventhough I'm not a fan of Chuck but I like the way he is. I love the scene where Blair was about to tell Dan about Serena, was so funny. I love Dan and Serena, they are so cute together, can't wait to see more of them. My favourite characher is Dan so far, you just got to love him. I can't wait for more of Gossip Girl, it was a great episode, I'm giving it a 9.5 because I felt as if it was the same as the Pilot, amazing but we all know it can be better so I'm saving the ten for and awesome episode, bring it on.moreless

    "Perfect"
    By iewuxis, Feb 09, 2009 Report Abuse
    Today I was totally bored, so I decided to see good old episodes of hit show, and I faced up with some truly good conclusions. First of all, I need to admit that in first episodes there are barely some chemistry between characters, of course we can assume it's because they didn't know each other very well etc, but nevertheless the storyline seems to be as perfect as possible. Everything - every line, every smile, every touch etc - is in its right place a lot of action and a lot of mystery. You sit down on your coach and you feel you're becoming addicted to this show. At least it was my first thoughts running through my mind. Yes, season one was totally mind-blowing. Most of all I liked these catchy and funny lines between characters, in season two we don't have anything like that anymore, except racy lines between Chuck and Jack, that reminded me the 1st season, so that was the first time I decided I need to re-watch it all over again. By the way speaking about Gossip Girl as character, now it seems that at the beginning she was a bit boring, ok, she told about rumors etc, but Kristen Bell's voice sounds so... monotony and totally boring. In current episodes she has improved. I don't even need to see her to picture her facial expression. So to sum up I need to admit that I like the development of characters that we can see now, but as I said here and even before the storyline was definitely better than, in the first season. In fact it's odd to imagine Nate and Serena together, I had even forgot that they had some fling. OK, I made up my thoughts, I wrote them down and now see you guys later. xoxomoreless

    • Rufus: This is Brooklyn, not the Warped Tour. And don't tell me you had all your tattoos removed. The actress that plays Jenny, Taylor Momsen, is the lead singer for the band The Pretty Reckless, which will be playing all shows of the 2010 Warped Tour. Edit
    • In this episode Chuck mentions that he's happy to be playing a small role in deflowering Blair. Which is ironic since he ends up playing an even bigger role in deflowering Blair five episodes later. Edit
    • Goof: When Rufus and Lily have coffee, the mugs they are drinking from are clearly empty. Edit

    • Gossip Girl: (Voice Over) Well, Serena's mystery man is a mystery no longer. His name is... oh, who cares. Now that he and S are over, so are his fifteen minutes. But his sister Jenny was spotted with a new dress... gifted from Blair herself. Everyone knows an Eleanor original is the uniform of B's private army. But will J be a loyal soldier? Or will she side with S's rebel forces? And as for S herself: We hear she left today's brunch with no friends, no boy and nowhere left to run. It looks like the ultimate insider has become a total outsider. It's your move, Serena. And you know who'll be watching: Gossip Girl. Edit
    • Bart: Why do you think I do all this? Huh? This party is for you, okay, so you can meet people. You know, become a part of something, make some kind of change. Chuck: Really? I thought it was another excuse for an open bar and, ah, rehiring of the nearly nude statues. Bart: Do me a favor, will you? Lose the scotch. It's barely noon. Edit
    • Serena: I can't believe you told her. Nate: You just expected me to keep it a secret? Serena: Yes, Nate. There's nothing wrong with keeping a secret if the truth is gonna hurt someone. Nate: That's a hell of a way to look at things. Serena: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize all of the sudden you're the most honest guy on the planet. Edit
