Gossip Girl premiers with scandal, intrigue
For those of you who are fans of CW's "Gossip Girl" you know what I'm talking about when I say the first two episodes of the fourth season were really quite a relief. After leaving viewers in suspense last season with Georgina Sparks showing up unexpectedly at Dan Humphrey's house pregnant, claiming the baby is his, Chuck Bass being shot, and Serena Van Der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf headed off to Paris, it left viewers hanging.
"Gossip Girl" sure doesn't miss a beat. The first episode of the new season opened with "S" and "B" in Paris enjoying themselves. Blair tries but fails to forget about Chuck, even after going on a date with a royal prince. Blair, in my opinion should forget about Chuck. I mean, for goodness sake, he slept with Dan's little sister Jenny Humphrey. Why in the world would she want to speak to him after that?
I was relieved to find that Chuck survived the shooting in Prague, but then he tries to run away from his past by reinventing himself. Poor Chuck. He never learns his lesson and just keeps making the same mistakes. When will he come to his senses and stop messing around?
Nate Archibald(cq) is dating around, still pining after the lovely Serena, but not for long. Nate, I feel, is way too trusting of his new flame, a conniving femme fatal. I can't believe he doesn't find it weird that all of a sudden she shows up and wants to help him win Serena back. How naive can he get?
Then there's Georgina. I believe Georgina is back to her old scheming ways after taking a phone call while speaking in a foreign language. I must admit I am a little tired of her annoying character finding her way back into new episodes. I knew from the minute she came back she was up to no good. Why do most of the characters fall for her malicious acts? You would think they would know by now what to expect from her. In my opinion I think it's time for a new character.
The second episode, which aired Monday, held a lot of mystery as Chuck is spotted walking along the streets of France. The question still lingers in the air of whether or not Dan is really the father of Georgina's baby. I find that whole situation rather strange because Dan so readily accepts that the child is his and doesn't ask many questions. It made me so mad when he signed the birth certificate papers so willingly. What is wrong with that guy?
Then the show takes a turn as Serena discovers why Chuck was shot – over an engagement ring that was meant for Blair. When is Blair ever going to make a decision about Chuck? She needs to hurry up make up her mind. Oh, the woes of being in love.
Then when Serena returns back to The Big Apple, I found it interesting she didn't even look remotely surprised that Dan had a baby.
The characters could have done a better job acting, and questions still remain.
Looks like we'll have to wait until next time. As they say in France, Au revoir!
