I have so many emotions: sadness, grief, relief, happiness...I'm almost as confused as Nate usually is. But really, what a fun (albeit frustrating) ride this has been. Gossip Girl I love(/hate) you, xoxox.<br />
<br />
The most Gossip Girliest moments from the finale:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Nate refuses to let Sage speak with the police because she's a minor. Her minor status does not stop him from sleeping with her. </li>
<li>What is up with the stilted way Hep C Jack is holding his tea tray? Best line: "I have terrible news: Bart's dead." I laughed way too hard at that.</li>
<li>Dan's great face when Serena walks in. You know he's wondering where she gets all her clothes that highlight her boobs in the same way each week.</li>
<li>I can't imagine this is the proposal/wedding scenario that Chair fans wanted but I think they're probably happy with the fact their beloved Chuck and Blair are going to be together. But really? A proposal in front of the guy you were basically sold to? Blair, I am ashamed.</li>
<li>Of course Lily would stop in plain sight of the paparazzi while hugging/touching William. </li>
<li>So far no Rufus. But we've heard Jenny's and Eric's names. </li>
<li>Blair's dress IS perfection. As is her hair and her head piece. SO much better than when she married Prince Louis (remember that awful hair - ugh).</li>
<li>This whole thing about Dan's orgins as gossip girl is kind of hilarious. Flashback Chuck is purrrrfection.</li>
<li>"Is Dan here as your date?" No, Blair. People didn't have time to get a date for your wedding. </li>
<li>When Nate figures out that Dan must be gossip girl while eavesdropping on the two young girls, my heart fluttered a second. Carrie Matthison would be proud.</li>
<li>Blair's way too quick wedding was sweet. Nice call back with the "One word. Three letters. Yes."</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Side note: Rosie Larson is alive - on the Carrie Diaries.</li>
<li>Vanessa sighting! Making a freaking peanut butter sandwich.</li>
<li>Kristen Bell!!!! AND Rachel Bilson. Too much adorable. </li>
<li>All the flashbacks make me feel so old. They were all babies.</li>
<li>Dan IS Gossip Girl. He is the only one who owns a hoodie. Jenny knew it was Dan and basically created her leaving NYC, which is actually a good way to explain her leaving. </li>
<li>Rufus sighting! Followed by a semi-nice father son talk but no waffles.</li>
<li>Nate never sent in a tip. Nate's an angel. His eyebrows are his wings.</li>
<li>This in conversation about who they all thought gossip girl was is making me very very happy. Dorota, Rufus, Nate....all people I too wished it would have been.</li>
<li>So now they are all grown up. Nate is about to be a mayoral candidate (HAHAHAHA but makes sense based on all the adults on this show), Henry Bass is super duper adorable, Blair and Chuck are living happily together, Rufus got new glasses and married Lisa Loeb, Jenny still wears crappy eyeliner and has terrible hair, Olivia and Lola are starting in an award winning movie based on Ivy's life, Lily is back with William [I'm a little shocked but happy that she and Rufus didn't end up together], Georgina is with Jack (I'd watch that spin off), AND Serena picked the most god-awful wedding dress I've ever seen. Just as expected. </li>
</ul>
<div>
Oh, Gossip Girl. I think this was a pretty great finale for the show that it was. I will miss the clothes and the cheese [that I ate during the show]. My only disappointment is that it didn't end on a close up of Dan's face with him going "You know you love me, XOXO" fade to black. I hope for great careers for Leighton Meester and Penn Badgely (ok and the rest of them). I guess now I need to go back to writing about other shows. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
XOXO.</div>

<br />
"I don't know how Claire Danes does it - spying hurts my head." - Nate Archibald.<br />
<br />
Mostly because a <a href="http://www.haikutv.com/2012/10/gossip-girl-gone-maybe-gone.html" target="_blank">few weeks ago I did this</a>:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEQ41ap3rQxNX4UdVmy42KOhYNxQFEEBGC77Kl0Pjcw2KQHUCl_08TJv8XW_FFd7UQyhEGReK2Qzdd4r9huYIaVrOtalmrmGvfRFEXATc_pTJkp4eSSeB9wzpVQO7Vqv3XUFTcuawl6oY/s1600/clare.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEQ41ap3rQxNX4UdVmy42KOhYNxQFEEBGC77Kl0Pjcw2KQHUCl_08TJv8XW_FFd7UQyhEGReK2Qzdd4r9huYIaVrOtalmrmGvfRFEXATc_pTJkp4eSSeB9wzpVQO7Vqv3XUFTcuawl6oY/s320/clare.gif" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Sigh, Gossip Girl, I will miss you.<br />
<br />
Other great moments after the JUMP<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Why can't my dreams be as great as Blair's? Plus, I love that they acknowledge her bangs in her dream world.</li>
<li>When the crew was explaining the plan to Ivy, my face looked as confused as Serena's. </li>
<li>I will miss Nate's very handsome <strike>eyebrows</strike> face on my tv every week. I will also miss all the crazy but gorgeous lipstick colors the women on this show wear.</li>
<li>Bart Bass Man of the Year? Ugh.</li>
<li>Best direction goes to: the moment they turned the camera away from the close up of Bart's face and there was Chuck right behind him. </li>
<li>Nate went to jail! This is the most terrifying thing the show has done because can you imagine the things they'd do to him.</li>
<li>Sage is the worst actress on Gossip Girl. And look at the acting on Gossip Girl.</li>
<li>"She's fine because I decided she could be fine." Bart, said like a true robot.</li>
<li>This whole plot is ridiculous. I can't believe this is what the end of GG is going to circle around. </li>
<li>When Nate's dad was in shock that Nate actually fudged the numbers, I wanted him to yell, "I learned it from watching you!" </li>
<li>Ugh I'm so confused by the timing of everything happening in this episode. Has this only been one day so far? </li>
<li>Blair brings together Ivy, Sage, Serena and Georgina and I do think they all are wearing pretty dresses. Sage's may be a little old for her but you know it's Sage. </li>
<li>I LOVE the crazy necklaces Georgina has worn all season. Where they hell do they come from?</li>
<li>Serena is all of a sudden moving to LA and brings up gossip girl to Dan. Throw away comment? No, they were trying to remind us we are supposed to care who gossip girl is [Dan?] before the reveal next week. Also, go away, Serena, go! You can start your whorishness in LA with a blank slate [she actually says this exact thing later on just in a nicer way].</li>
<li>TWIST! Chuck shows up and isn't dead after all! Too bad they didn't give us time to be sad with Blair to give this more impact. Oh and Dan was helping him. Redemption! Ok not really.</li>
<li>Biggest laugh of the night is when the robot says "One million dollars - just kidding it's not for sale" the timing was perfect. Robots do have a sense of humor.</li>
<li>Bart and Chuck meet on the roof. Two things: 1) is this the roof where Chuck tried to rape Jenny? and 2) Can Chuck PLEASE say "I'm Batman?" Seriously, I asked for a Batman tie in <a href="http://www.haikutv.com/2012/05/possible-gossip-girl-endings.html#more" target="_blank">awhile back.</a></li>
<li>56 minutes in and no Rufus? WTF? I hope they show him and Lily on a beach somewhere at the end of this episode.</li>
<li>The score for this rooftop fight is AMAZING. AMAZING! Scratch the first thing I said - this music made the episode worth it. I'm laughing sooo hard but also really excited about next week's finale. </li>
</ul>
<div>
One more week! Ahhhhhhhhh!</div>

<br />
Other hilarious things about the episode:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Blair asking Chuck if he ordered a Thanksgiving spread. Dirty!</li>
<li>Dorota's canned yams.</li>
<li>Lily being so proud of Serena for going grocery shopping.</li>
<li>Blair's Thanksgiving pant suit is divine (as is her lipstick color)...but I think she should've worn the Pocahontas outfit to dinner. </li>
<li>"Don't worry - I'm not pregnant, I just miss you." Gross.</li>
<li>Poor Nate is an idiot. Making out with Sage in like 5 minutes within seeing her. </li>
<li>"You must be in seventh heaven!" Hilarious. </li>
<li>I love that Blair tells Serena she doesn't want Dan to throw her (Serena) under the bus. Did they already forget about Sabrina in his first book?!</li>
<li>Bart Bass is part robot.</li>
<li>I wish Blair had binge on pie. That was great.</li>
<li>HA! Nate punching Dan.</li>
<li>Ugh - who names their final chapter "The Final Chapter"?</li>
</ul>

Two more episodes! Arg!</div>

I'm so happy he won and so sad he didn't have family there to celebrate with him.<br />
<br />
I did fall in love with Fabio over the course of the episode - what a nice person he seems to be. I also realized he has to get his personal fashion sense from Denise Huxtable. It's a different world indeed.TREhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10592941822120783240noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451208867644850804.post-14829084874670117822012-10-16T12:14:00.000-05:002012-10-16T12:14:36.973-05:00Gossip Girl: Countdown to the EndI didn't get around to watching Gossip Girl last night because I was being social with some very nice people while watching Dancing with the Stars and becoming very uncomfortable at the amount of sex oozing from the tv screen between Val and Kelly.<br />
<br />
So go read the Vulture recap (<a href="http://www.vulture.com/2012/10/gossip-girl-recap-season-6-episode-2.html">http://www.vulture.com/2012/10/gossip-girl-recap-season-6-episode-2.html</a>)<br />
to get not only great commentary on the episode but a little behind the scenes info since the writers got to appear on the episode. [The writer, Jessica Pressler, says Penn Badgely gives great eye contact which made me love him even more. Then I realized our couple name would be Pennee which is kinda like penne pasta (delicious) or like the way <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoAJkS2Cfpo" target="_blank">Desmond said Penny on LOST</a> (even more delicious)]<br />
<br />
They are much funnier than I can ever be and I am pretty sure all 782,000 viewers who still watch Gossip Girl actually read and contribute to the post in the comments section.<br />

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOx100000. Can you tell I'm excited? I wasn't really...I mean I was pissed they killed Dair (Chair = endgame = eyerolls from me) but then, today, when running on the treadmill thinking about TV I remembered Serena reverted back to her crazy druggie self! I'm excited. But then at some point <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460693/" target="_blank">What About Brian</a> is gonna show up and Barry Watson doesn't seem to be the kind of actor who would play part of the drug scene so I'm guessing she'll clean up pretty soon. On to the final (shortened) season of Gossip Girl!<br />
<br />
Thankfully, the show gives us a brief glimpse of where everyone was 4 months ago and what they've been up to all summer.<br />
<br />
<b>Chuck and Blair</b>: doing it. Then separated. Hmmmm.<br />
<b>Dan</b>: in Tuscany, getting hair cuts, with Georgina and typewriter, saying things like "I'm parched"<br />
<b>Nate</b>: figuring out who Gossip Girl is and running the Spectator alllllll alone.<br />
<b>Serena</b>: OD-ing on a train while wearing fantastic shoes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Lily and Bart</b>: travelling to the Hamptons and the Seychelles, saw ERIC (<a href="http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/revenge/bios/declan-porter" target="_blank">he is in the Hamptons after all</a>) and renewing their vows. They're gonna need to get them divorced and her back together with Rufus in the next 9 episodes. C'mon. Waffles.<br />
<br />
Cut to the present, this week's zany advenure and my random thoughts:<br />
<ul>
<li>Nate has a crazy mystery solving wall! Amazing. I love it. He's JUST like Carrie from Homeland. EXACTLY. </li>

My biggest complaints about this episode are 1) when reveal to Steven that Sabrina is actually Serena and he's not the one chasing after her being like "what the hell?! I thought you were the love of my life!" How is anyone so ok with that? And 2) Lily's terribly unflattering lace overlay dress. It made her looks so wide.<br />
<br />
So what did you think? Only nine more hours! What's gonna happen? Who do you think likes breakfast more? Rufus or Walt Jr [on Breaking Bad]? What's up with Rufus's posing? Do you think it's cause his jeans are too tight?<br />

Aaron Paul really is the best crier on tv. Amazing and well deserved.<br />
<br />
I really enjoy Homeland. Claire Danes was a well deserved winner. I do not think Damian Lewis should have won over Bryan Cranston nor do I think Homeland should've won over season 4 of Breaking Bad.<br />
<br />
Breaking Bad's season 4 was still the best season of tv I've experiences. I will preface that by saying I have not see The Wire (there goes my credibility for anything). I did want Bill Hader to win cause I love him. I did also want Luther or Sherlock to win in the acting/supporting actor categories to win (Hatfields/McCoys was boring as f). I loved the whole Julia/Amy sketch and the John Stewart bit. I love fun stuff.<br />
<br />
What was your biggest disappointment/joy? Least favorite/Most favorite moment?<br />

[p.s. I've made my dad watch the first two seasons of breaking bad over the last few months. this weekend we watched the first half of season 2 - up to "One Minute" - where Hank encounters the cousins. He said "wow" at the end. That's the most emotion my dad has shown to a tv show in probably 30 years. yeah science, yeah mr. white, yeah breaking bad.]TREhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10592941822120783240noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451208867644850804.post-40289875072236920922012-09-20T10:24:00.002-05:002012-09-20T10:24:33.052-05:00RevolutionI hate judging a new show by it's pilot. So I try my best not to. That doesn't mean I don't have questions about NBC's Revolution. Did it look cheesy in the commercials? Yes. Did I still watch? Yes. Of course I was gonna watch. First off, it has Gus Fring and the dad from Twilight (who was my second favorite character in those movies after Jasper who just pouted the whole time). Second, it has a strong backing from people connected to LOST. Finally, it was different than a lot of the new pilots this season -story wise.<br />
<br />
It was ok. It wasn't awful. It wasn't great. It was pretty much what you would expect for an NBC concept drama. I had to put aside a lot of sense of reality and logic while watching (do they still have working curling irons? Really, you want me to believe you'd kill off Elizabeth Mitchell before the show even started and just say "she died out there" without expecting me to know she'll be back probably in the season finale? such little progress in 15 years!) but that doesn't mean I won't watch next week.<br />
<br />
A day after the show I actually kept thinking about it. More specifically I kept thinking about 2 things:<br />
<ol>
<li>Where are the bicycles?</li>
<li>Do magnets still work?</li>
</ol>
<div>
If all of a sudden electricity stopped working and cars stopped working you can bet your ass I'd try and get my hands on a bike or anything with non motorized wheels. Maybe the militia took them? Maybe they are all in a warehouse somewhere with flat tires? Did you wonder where they bikes went?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Do magnets still work? Was there any indication in the pilot that magnets no longer worked? I feel like magnets would be another source of power (ha! pun.) during a newly formed dark ages.<br />

<div>
There were a lot of shots that reminded me of LOST. Three characters trekking along on the side of the river - reminded me of where Kate almost shot Jack that one time. The google guy is the Hurley. Charlie's brother with asthma is a combination of Shannon ("where's my inhaler!!!") and Walt (he got lost). Girl Charlie has boy Charlie's name and a leather jacket. She just needs a guitar and a heroin addiction. And Bella's dad from Twilight is Sayid Jarrah cause I still only believe Sayid Jarrah could have defeated that many bad guys pretty much alone. He could've done it with his hands tied behind his back (Remember he killed the guy with his feet?! I'm still amazed.)</div>
<div>

What else did you notice that was missing from this 15-years-after-the-darkness-came time? What did you think? Do you miss LOST too?</div>

I really enjoyed it because 1) ever shot was gorgeous, 2) it's created the path for the next 9 episodes.<br />
<br />
We all know what happened so here are some things I wish would happen in the upcoming 9:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Jesse approaches Skylar to work together and get the kids safe. He has a thing for protecting kids, she needs some sort of light at the end of her tunnel (that sounded dirty).</li>
<li>Todd gets his prison connections to help with the people on the list that are currently imprisoned. This was kind of hinted at in the preview, but I think any connection Walt continues with Todd is bad news (which means good tv).</li>
<li>I hope the list includes: Jack Shepard, Kate Austen, John Locke, Sayid Jarrah, etc.</li>
<li>Hank or Marie find some blue meth in Walt Jr.'s room and tell Skylar and Walt. That would be a giant slap in the face to Walt. Walt Jr. is already depressed and having an identity crisis, so it wouldn't be a stretch for him to end up experimenting with drugs. Then, we can have Walt Jr yell, "I learned it from watching YOU!" and it would be true.</li>
<li>I want Walt to cry. For real cry though.</li>
</ul>
<div>
For some reason I absolutely loved the scene at the end of Say My Name where Walt ran back to shoot Mike. It was an old man's frantic run and I seem to forget sometimes that Walt is in his 50s now. He's still active and everything but he's also a man less than a year out from having what doctor's though was incurable cancer. I don't know if it was on purpose, or that's just the way Bryan Cranston runs, but I thought it was a good touch.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In addition, Aaron Paul hasn't had as much to do this season but he still kills it in every scene. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
RIP Mike. You will be missed.</div>

It did not disappoint. Bryan Cranston was off making one of his Emmy winning monologues while Skylar was sitting at the bottom of the pool. That scene escalated into of the most anxiety-inducing, intense conversations I've ever sat through (real or on tv). It's obvious Walt has absolutely lost all sense of reality ("there's probably a party waiting for me") and care for those around him. I LOVED when he showed Skylar the money and casually dropped that they had to replace the $600,000 that was gone - you know, the one money she gave her lover Ted [I like saying lover]. Aaron Paul hasn't had as much to do this season but man has he been just as great as ever. I'm still on he fence about Lydia, but enjoy that they have a character who is acting as scared as they really all should be. Not everyone can be a Mike.<br />
<br />
So, on to Dead Freight. This episode has been hyped as the biggest one Breaking Bad has ever done. Betsy Brandt and Aaron Paul both tweeted their excitement leading up to the episode which of course made me nervous. Would it be a death? Or would it just be another crazy caper to get the methylamine they need?<br />
<br />
We start out with a kid, in the desert, finding a tarantula. Crazy. Why would anyone want to play with a taranula? But in the distance we hear the train horn - "Nothing stops this train" unless robbing the train is gonna be tough. You know the first five minutes of the show always come back around.<br />
<br />
My thoughts:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Walt's the best actor. Not Bryan Cranston, but Walt. His crying in Hank's office was so great. He knew Hank would get extremely uncomfortable and leave giving him he opportunity to bug his office and computer.</li>
<li>Lydia is like a chihuahua, except I like chihuahuas.</li>
<li>They are gonna rob a train! It's like the Great Muppet Caper except with meth, criminals and no muppets.</li>
<li>"It's about the weight, yo." I love smart Jesse.</li>
<li>Walt's still a teacher - as he explains the replacement of the methylamine with water, it's like he's teaching a students. I just am soooo uncomfortable with his candidness. Why give Todd all this information?</li>
<li>"I'm your hostage." - Skylar. She isn't wrong.</li>
<li>Why is Walt Jr. back to going by Flynn? I heard Sklyar call him that last week but I was pretending I imagined it. Poor kid. I hope he doesn't get sooo depressed that he offs himself. I loved Hank calling him Emo McGee. Jokes! </li>
<li>I did NOT like Walt's facial reaction to Skylar stating once her kids were safe she's be <i>any kind</i> of partner Walt wanted. It looked like he got turned on. Ew.</li>
<li>There's been a lot of Jesse James references this season and a lot of movie references. It's like LOST! </li>
</ul>
<div>
Everything in this episode paled compared to the last 10 minutes. Train robbery. Good Samaritan that ruins everything (damn you nice people!). Walt being too brash and selfish. Jesse has to lay under the train to get out safely. There's a witness. Its that kid from he beginning of the episode with he weird spider fetish. I really thought this was going to be the last shot of the episode:</div>

You know, it would've left stuff up in the air, unanswered, unsure. But then they had to do this:</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh shit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Notice only Jesse reacted. Walt didn't. Remember how Andrea's kid brother got shot awhile back and that just killed Jesse? I'm sure this is gonna hurt more. Probably won't help that this kid looked a little bit like Jesse's younger brother - maybe that's a stretch, but either way this is going to shake Jesse.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Why did Todd even have a gun? I know based on the character description released of Jesse Plemmons's character, a lot of people speculated that maybe he's an undercover agent/cop. I think murdering a kid erased that thought from everyone's mind. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Best exchange of the night, after Skylar sees Walt's dirty pants: </div>
<div>
"Out burying bodies?" </div>
<div>
"Robbing a train." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hey at least he isn't lying. That should get him some points.</div>
<div>

This won’t be a full recap because I was busy eating Breaking Bad themed food (Los Pollos Hermanos fried chicken, Heisenburgers, ABBQ potato chips, Jesse Pink Lemonade etc) and drinking lots of wine to help ease my nerves – this show is intense – so here are just some of my thoughts about last night’s episode of Breaking Bad, “Live Free or Die.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Did Walt’s fake ID have his real birthday on it? Cause that’s weird.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"> Holy shit WHY does Walt need a machine gun?</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">I really liked Walt's new glasses.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">On Walt’s 52nd birthday he’s alone, eating breakfast (seriously, no Walt Jr?!) and not wearing his wedding ring which he has never take off, not even when Skylar was screwing Ted. If Skyler were to die, I don’t think he’d take it off. I’m guessing she’s plotting her escape. This is very Katie Holmes-esque. (I guess if he's pretending to be a single guy, Mr. Lambert, he can't wear his ring?)</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Speaking of Ted, how scary was that scene when Skylar walked in and all we could see was her reaction. Why didn’t Saul ever tell her that he hadn’t died?</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"> Mike really does love Jesse. In the dessert, when Jesse jumped in front of the gun and Mike went “oh, Jesse” it was very apparent. I only worry that Mike will be the one that puts together that Walt poisoned Brock and have to break it to Jesse. While I think Mike would enjoy that, I think he’d know it would break Jesse’s already wounded heart.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">How did Walt/Jesse end up meeting up with Mike in the desert? I felt like the episode skipped a lot to get to that point.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"> Magnets ARE awesome and kudos to Jesse for being the smartest guy in the room.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">That entire scene was so cool – stuff flying, the truck tipping over. Why is Breaking Bad so cool?</span></li>
</ul>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuMKQDaZJKgYC-b0npNX2xq7RI0SIgdrqiHuhTxyFSo4VuQVmmGh4luBVHQpyh7sKpNBUn5KYLJRfu26JyN_qF3jlSAvkBfGChArJ0ymJzZkbGKoxtV-PWmX9G8m_2TF9WqPWgqjU5z5I/s1600/magneto.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuMKQDaZJKgYC-b0npNX2xq7RI0SIgdrqiHuhTxyFSo4VuQVmmGh4luBVHQpyh7sKpNBUn5KYLJRfu26JyN_qF3jlSAvkBfGChArJ0ymJzZkbGKoxtV-PWmX9G8m_2TF9WqPWgqjU5z5I/s320/magneto.jpeg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Walt's inspiration.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Every so often I’m reminded that Jesse really is just a simple sweet guy. He wasn’t angry that Walt didn’t stop upping the magnet’s power, or that because Walt didn’t listen to him they almost got caught, he was just happy that it worked and that they were on their way out of there.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"> How on earth are they not going to trace the truck and the magnet back to Mr. Heckles’s junk yard?</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Poor Walt, he comes up with a brilliant plan and ends up uncovering more evidence for the cops. How can the Cayman Islands accounts tie back to Walt? Not sure right now, but I’m thinking Madrigal industries will show up soon.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"> “I forgive you.”AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!</span></li>

<br />
I am prepping myself for the return by watching old episodes and chatting incessantly about it with people I know who watch (or are currently watching).<br />
<br />
Here are 10 things I want to happen on Breaking Bad this season:<br />
<br />
10) Jesse Pinkman's girlfriend goes away. I still hate her from Friday Night Lights and don't buy that Jesse would be so invested in her.<br />
<br />
9) Walt Jr. find out his dad is a drug king pin and says, "Cool." <br />
<br />
8) More Walter White in his whitey tighties.<br />
<br />
7) A call back to season 1, where they are starting their meth making from scratch. That has to happen right? The end of season 4 can't truly be the end of the the meth making business.<br />
<br />
6) Lots and lots of Saul and his crazy suits, awesome comb-over and great one liners.<br />
<br />
5) Joel Kinnaman replaces the actor who plays Skinny Pete. This would purely just be to make my dreams come true.<br />
<br />
4) Random things with the family: Skylar goes back to brown hair, Hank continues to heal, Marie steals more things and Holly starts walking and talking.<br />
<br />
3) An awesome scene of Mike walking across the border, injured, but alive and somehow making it back to the ABQ. Mike helps Jesse realize that Gus didn't poison Brock after all.<br />
<br />
2) We find out Walt was lying about being in remission and that his cancer is back and progressing quicker than before.<br />
<br />
1) Tyrus survived the blast and returns with a scarred face and an eye patch. His face isn't too bad cause we can still see his trademarked "Bitch, please" face. He's full of glances and out for revenge.
<br />

Pete remains the best at being the worst (seriously, he needs awards), Joan prostituted herself, Lane is in deep shit (I kinda want his wife to die so he can get a girlfriend [can I suggest Dawn?] and insurance money), and Peggy said goodbye to Sterling Draper Cooper Price.

I’m ok with that. Since there are only 11 more episodes of Gossip Girl left next year, I decided to make a list the eleven ways I hope this show ends.<br />
<br />
11) The entire group of “friends” board a plane and it crashes. At the end, a phone falls out of Nate’s pocket and the cracked screen shows that he IS Gossip Girl. Blood drips on the phone screen. Fade to black.<br />
<br />
10) Bart Bass remains in the Upper East Side and in episode 10 is revealed to be a Cyborg. He then blows up everything – starting with Rufus. [I REALLY wanted Chuck to throw Bart off the roof last night]<br />
<br />
9) Lily marries Bart again and then he really dies. We see it. They make sure to watch rigor mortis set in then watch as he is buried. Chuck moves to London, becomes friends with Madonna and picks up a fake British accent. Nate starts dealing pot and uses the Observer as his cover. Serena is his number one customer. Dan realizes he hates everything to do with the UES so moves away to Portland to write books and grow a beard. Blair runs her mom’s company successfully and meets a handsome, older man who treats her right.<br />
<br />
8) At the final party of the series – probably Rufus and Lily’s wedding – Gossip Girl shows up and shoots everyone. She takes off the hoodie obscuring her face, the camera pans around and it’s Little J – eyeliner and all.<br />

7) Chuck and Blair start to rekindle their love affair and then Blair remembers she slept with Jack who has hepatitis. She gets tested. Positive. Chuck then gets tested. Positive. Blair calls Dan to let him know he needs to get tested cause she slept with Jack way long time ago. Positive. Dan calls Serena. Positive. Serena calls like 1000 guys. ALL POSITIVE. They think Nate is the only one in the clear but no one is sure because they can’t remember who all they slept with. The episode ends with Chuck at the apartment waiting for Nate. He tells Nate he is positive for hepatitis. Nate’s face crumbles. They’ve been LOVERS THIS WHOLE TIME. Episode ends with real information on how serious hepatitis is.
[Alternate scenario: substitute “hepatitis” with “herpes.” PSA is for proper condom use. Valtrex buys some advertising space.]
<br />
<br />
6) Nate’s newest love interest in a beautiful, rich, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenge_(TV_series)" target="_blank">young woman named Emily Thorne</a>. Turns out she’s not only really Amanda Clarke, but is in fact the real Ivy and heir to the Rhodes fortune. She has a yearbook of all the UESers she wants revenge on and each week crosses out one of their faces. Her last foe is Serena, who she ends up killing with tainted cocaine and a “high heel mishap.” Someone off screen says, “We did it.” It’s Eric/<a href="http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/revenge/bios/declan-porter" target="_blank">Declan Porter</a>. They smile. Screen fades to black. Revenge!<br />

5) The ground opens up and swallows all of them. We never learn who Gossip Girl is other than the fact that we know she lives because the CW somehow texts all its viewers a GG post about the earth swallowing NY. There’s a pun in the post somewhere.<br />
<br />
4) Serena really kills a guy this time. She is arrested, forced to wear orange and then put on trial. The three hour finale consists of all her friends testifying on her behalf but each one, during cross examination, realizes she’s a shitty friend. They let her go to jail. The group meets after to cry and hug and be sad at Dan’s Brooklyn apartment. Rufus makes waffles. Gossip Girl retires.<br />
<br />
3) They all turn into vampires. The CW immediately orders new scripts.<br />
<br />
2) Dan’s hair continues to grow. It eventually takes over all of the Upper East Side. Everyone dies via suffocation. Sixty years in the future archaeologists try to learn about these so called UESers. They find out that Georgina was Gossip Girl all along. They also might find something to do with alien life. Just cause.<br />
<br />
1) Christian Bale shows up. Says in his raspy voice: "I’m Gossip Girl." Then flies away. Chuck Bass looks on with jealousy<br />

The finale is next weekend. Now that Aubrey is gone, I don't really care as much who wins (but I do like Clay a little more).<br />

Oh Gossip Girl. What did I do to deserve the POS you put out there as the season finale? It’s almost like every single character (ok not all) thought: “What can I do today that is incredibly stupid?” then did it.<br />
<br />
Here's my thoughts on the good and the bad of the episode, broken down by character.<br />
<br />
<b>Serena</b><br />
The bad:<br />
1) Decides to wear not only one, but two skirts that are way too short for her.<br />
2) Entitlement is off the charts.<br />
3) Seduces Dan and records it but doesn’t hide the camera very well.<br />
The good:<br />
1)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Turns back to her party girl, cocaine sniffing ways. I actually liked this part.<br />
2)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Her dress for the divorce party was nice.***<br />
<br />
<b>Dan</b><br />
The bad:<br />
1)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Fails to get a haircut.<br />
2)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Puts a timeline on when Blair has to declare her feelings for him – but then doesn’t wait before….<br />
3)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>He has dirty bar sex with Serena.<br />
4)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Finds that Serena’s iPhone has recorded their interlude but DOESN’T DELETE IT.<br />
5)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>One week later, still has not cut his hair.<br />
The good:<br />
1)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>He went to Rome.<br />
2)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>He found Georgina and is now in cahoots with her.<br />
<br />
<b>Nate</b><br />
The bad:<br />
1)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Asks Lola to move in with him after insulting her dreams by thinking she’s gonna play an oompa<br />
loompa<br />
2)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Is a little slow.<br />
The good:<br />
1)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>His eyebrows.<br />
2)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>He has a tape that possibly shows who gossip girl is (and they are rifling through what looks like actual<br />
dirty laundry). He may be the one to unmask Gossip Girl –OR maybe HE’S Gossip Girl. I’d love that.<br />
<br />
<b>Blair</b><br />
The bad:<br />
1)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>That pink skirt. Too tight, too short.<br />
2)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>She needs to grow up – or at least stop acting like she has grown up.<br />
3)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Stop trusting (and really having) minions.<br />
4)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Chuck? Again? Really?<br />
5)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>She needed to break up with Dan first before heading off to see Chuck.<br />
The good:<br />
1)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Eleanor is her mother.<br />
2)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Cyrus is her step-father.<br />
3)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>She at least has tried to apologize to Dan.<br />
4)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>She kicked out Serena. It’s about time. I wonder who gets to keep that bird thing Serena had hanging <br />
over her bed.<br />
<br />
<b>Chuck</b><br />
The bad:<br />
1)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Stupidly trusts Bart.<br />
2)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Wore a light grey suit to a press conference.<br />
3)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Doesn’t want to be Mr. Blair Waldorf.<br />
The good:<br />
1)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I guess I’m ok that he turned down Blair cause they need to fill 11 more episodes and you know these<br />
writers are gonna make those 11 all about Chuck and Blair.<br />
2)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We got to see that Jack is dealing with his HEPATITIS ok.<br />
<br />
Other characters: The lily/Rufus/Bart storyline is ok I guess. I feel like Lily is getting screwed. Bart’s face doesn’t move and Rufus looked cute except for that weird necked sweater. Lola is the stupidest character that has ever been on this show. And Nate and Serena are on this show. That says a lot.<br />
<br />
Did anyone else notice Dan was wearing a shirt that only had buttons halfway down it? It was weird.<br />
<br />
So….are you satisfied with the season finale? What do you think the last eleven episodes will be about (spoiler: Chair)?<br />
<br />
*** About this “divorce party”: do we know those people? [Answer: YES! They are the couple that got married at the beginning of the show when Serena had sex with Nate (while dating Blair) in the same spot she just had sex with Dan (while dating Blair)]Why was everyone invited? Do you really compliment the divorcee by saying, “You look just as beautiful in black as you did in white?” Is that a thing? And was anyone else pissed that the cake was cut in half? I understood the concept, but that whole area was gonna dry out. Don’t ruin good cake. Oh wait – these people are rich, and skinny. They don’t care.<br />

<br />
<ul>
<li>Dan's post shower hair is amazing.</li>
<li>I'd buy that Jack and Bart were real life brothers.</li>
<li>No way Blair would be THAT ok with Serena being Gossip Girl.</li>
<li>Chuck's henchman/PI won't help him so he assembles his group of friends. They are NOT the avengers. </li>
<li>Why does Serena's sweater arms have holes in it. Again, I don't understand fashion.</li>
<li>Diana's green dress is a gorgeous color. However, they are really into her cleavage on this show and it's starting to gross me out.</li>
<li>I hate the involvement of Diana in anything. </li>
<li>Even with the reveal of Bart being alive, we still don't know who Chuck's real parents are.</li>
<li>Roam in Rome. </li>
<li>"Gretchen, stop trying to make <strike>fetch</strike> Ivy happen." Stop bringing Ivy back....unless she starts sleeping with Rufus. I'd be ok with that.</li>
<li>The interviewer was right to ask for the gelato - if you promise me gelato, you better bring it. </li>
<li>I love how these people get new clothes so quickly - Serena changing into her Blair garb, and Lola and Ivy finding whore outfits. I do like Serena's Blair dress.</li>
<li>This episode of GG is their Scooby Doo episode.</li>
<li>Prude complaint upcoming: Blair wants the next person she says "I love you" to be the last, but she's ok sleeping with anyone.</li>
<li>Has Bart thought about how he wants to break the news to Lily? I suggest popping out of a giant box and yelling, "Surprise!!"</li>
<li>Dan is such a grown up. As much as I like Dair, he's almost too mature for this group. And too unkempt.</li>
<li>Blair is gonna create a spreadsheet of restaurants to eat at in Rome. I knew I loved her for some reason.</li>
<li>My head is a foggy mess, but did GG just say that Serena gave Blair's diary to her? </li>
<li>The preview for next week has Serena getting undressed with Dan's help in a bar? She's such a whore.</li>
</ul>

The end. Maybe my lovely friends can leave everything I missed in the comments. With the help of some NyQuil, I'm off to bed!</div>TREhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10592941822120783240noreply@blogger.com0
