2.14 In the Realm of the Basses

I thought you put me in rapture
I never asked you to dump her
Thought you knew we'd have a high life
Paraparaparapapah

And still I see
Your philosophy
Falling through my tainted mind
Would you dig my dirt?
Cos I'm so desperate
Can't you see you're wasting time?
I failed to tell you, to tell you now


"So, was this week's episode good for you too?", asked my dear friend.
"Haven't watched it yet. I'm too focused on replaying Veronica Mars these days. Was it any good?" I wanted to know, all weary.
"It was pretty much like when we watched No Country for Old Men. At first, you can't say it's good, but as the dust settles, it seems more than okay. There's no Vanessa and it's all about CB", she said, trying to entice me.
Of course I perked up. Maybe Vanessa is also dying in an off-screen car accident as we speak.
"And it plays I'm Not Cool", adds my friend, catching all my attention and excitement at once.
So I decided to take a chance on an unknown episode.

That I've been fooled
Cos I'm not cool
And the scissors slide
Away with my pride

Speeding down a dead-end track
I wanted you, there's no way back
Got a destructive appetite

I planned on being really bitter over 2.14, but I toned down the craze once I saw the clothes and the colours. Gossip Girl always gets better when it gets chilly, if the last episode was any indication. Plus, I like Uncle Jack already. All Basses are all good.
Ooh, Dan and Serena are back together and Gossip Girl is being bitchy about it. It feels so incredibly right. As boring as it can get, it's still right. Dan and Serena, Dan and Serena, wooo! Finally the incest SL is upon us. Bring it on.
Whatever is going on with Lily's hair and makeup, it's not helping her I-didn't-kill-Bart case. She just looks like she did it.
So this is how they redeem Jenny, huh? How... expected. But I still like it for many reasons. One of which is that Jenny gets better and Vanessa gets uglier, which means Vanessa has great chances of dropping off the face of the earth and Jenny getting Nate back. Not that I care for who Nate smooches, as long as it's not the Obnoxious One.
Blair's place in all that makes sense. And she'll never leave high school behind, hopefully, she'll boss people around for ever. But isn't Eric really the wise one? He really knows everything. You must kick somebody when they appear to be down.
Chuck is smoking hash and I'm so proud of him. He's whispering a little less and smoking, all at the same time!
Serena, after a one episode delay, realizes Chuck has a problem, and she's all so helpful.
Annoy, tall blonde one! Annoy like the wind!
Chuck's big Oops, at last, was a very good scene. Kudos for the director.
All in all, great, great episode. I regained my faith.

"I am satisfied", I stated matter-of-factly to my friend, when the episode ended.
"Good", she begun, "but I, for one, am a pessismist. I bet next week they're gonna bring the bastard, Dan and Serena will be left in the vacuum, and Vanessa will appear".
Gee. Scary much? Anyway, we'll soon find out.

BTW, people in Argentina must be really upset right now. If Serena went to Australia, would we view pictures of her playing with kangaroos? Lousy!
