starsthatshineAfter surveying the last couple of entries on my friends list it seems like most of them are surprised over Serena's big secret. Personally, I found it sort of... predictable. The moment she started 'I can't tell anyone' I called it. Because frankly, she was already doing drugs back in the day, so I couldn't find anything that would top that more than murder.
Blair wore the prettiest clothes in this episode and I'm glad that she's returning to form. For the past few episodes, she's been really out of shape and sort of... very unlike herself. She's coming back and I'm so happy. Blair must be queen, otherwise her character is just... off. Somehow. I like that they showed Blair's softness (because unlike Jenny, Blair's bitchness emminates from low self-asteem and self-protection. Blair isn't bitchy to everyone, whereas Jenny is it to all) and that in contrast to Jenny's coldness. I'm not saying Jenny is without heart but the thing is that she doesn't have one redeeming quality in my mind. Her family isn't Upper East Siders and her failure to acknowledge that and her reluctance to understand her own and her family's situation is unforgivable to me. I cannot seriously see one positive thing about her because it appears as though she can only be kind if it's on her own terms.
When Jenny came home and cried her eyes out in her dad's arms, I don't know... Personally, I was still fuming and I feel that if I had been in that scene, I would probably tell her off or something. But then again, I've never had a daughter and I think if it were my little sister, I'd still try to comfort her. But seriously though, she must've known that she was losing her "friends" so one would think that she would be prepared. She sat herself in the boat, fully knowing the possible outcomes...
Anyway, enough ranting about her because I could go on for daaays.
Eric's coming out was nicely done. Sort of. I had sort of hoped that we would actually get to see a kiss between Asher and Eric but apparently not. What a bummer. But other than that - A+. Sort of. I think it was nicely handled. I liked that Lily's reaction was... realistic. A lot of people feel like they lose a child once they say that they are gay because things like grandchildren and weddings won't happen. I read that somewhere, no idea where though, but that's why I sort of felt that Lily's talk of how scared she was for Eric's happiness and stuff, was spot on. Sort of.
Eric/Chuck friendship for the win though :D
... I really think that Chuck must be an incredibly lonely character. Judging how quickly he jumped on the family bandwagon and stuff. I want him to stop being lonely and I think Eric and Chuck could develop a beautiful friendship.
Huge happy birthdays![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
