Gossip Girl focuses on worldly little girls who join forces against one another. The series, along with such like-minded shows are focused on friends, and most of all on frenemies.
They are so postfemininist that they circle back not just to "Mean Girls," but to the pre-Friedan era of Clare Boothe Luce and Rona Jaffe.
It's not actually a step backward of course but more of a mischievous sidestep, a zig after many years of networks' zagging to catch up with "Sex and the City."
That series's selling point was not just sex and designer clothes. It offered the charisma of four stylish, sexy women taking on Manhattan adequately captured the playful, loving tone of the original.
Gossip Girl reversed course and found a way saucily to make a virtue of vacuity and viciousness. It's better to reign in hell than serve in heaven, especially on a soap opera.
It's never a good sign when you find yourself cracking a smile at a scene meant to be deathly serious, but that's where I found myself as she defended herself against Max's "lies" with Carol's help in this show.
I could spend hours ranting about the screen time Chivy takes up with relatively little advancement of the storyline, and surely some of you will in the comments. So I'll try to focus on the positives. What about you?
Asked about the episode, TV Line's Michael Ausiello said "Intel continues to trickle in and, if what I'm hearing about the episode's final act is true, it has the potential to be the single greatest hour of my life television ever."
In Gossip Girl's milestone 100th episode, the long-awaited royal wedding between Blair and Prince Louis will finally play out. There are several spoilers floating around about exactly what happens during the episode.
All we have to say is poor Dan Humphrey! He never even stood a chance, huh? This could be what many fans of the CW drama have been waiting for!
Check out the just-released promo for the midseason finale of this show, which features a very conflicted Blair apparently attempting to finally choose between Chuck Bass and Prince Louis once and for all above! With the wedding only two months away and the baby's arrival right around the corner, we've been wondering.
How exactly are things going to work with Blair Waldorf as a mother and a princess! Not only that, but is Louis really the father? There are lots of questions, but you can find answers in the next episode of the show. Or you can pay attention to our DVD of this TV series and enjoy yourself.
