Gossip Girl Reboot 2x10

OMG every episodes became more and more nonsense. In a way, I’m very glad that the show is cancelled, at least it couldn’t be worse at this point. 

Finally, Audrey looks for the first time great (cloths, make-up and hair) in Rome at the end of the episode. 

The only thing I will miss is Audrey, Aki and Max (apparently they were supposed to be end game...)

And good for Luna!

ps: Where is Monet? Wendy?

ps 2: Who is Andy Cohen? So now Eric is married? Who is SJ?

Some good quotes:

- “But don’t blame me... for that unsteady sensation below your feet. That my dear followers is the feeling of regret. Maybe it was that wrong thing you did for the right reason, but now somehow just feels even more wrong. Or maybe it’s something even worse than regret... Remorse. Remorse for the things we didn’t know we did until it was too late.” (GG)

- “Outing Gossip Girl is a job I need done correctly. I can’t risk your imprecise hands ruining it like they do everything else you touch.” (Camille de Haan)

- “People have tried to expose us before and we managed to get out clean. (Kate) - Sure if your definition includes blackmail, bounties, and you getting literally black-bagged. (Jordan) - Exactly. If we survived Georgina Sparks. We can survive anything.” (Kate)

- “Look, we get you’re upset, but blocking us like bots? Really? (Audrey) - Whoa. Whoa. You hurt me. Therefore, I get to respond however I see fit. The block was to buy myself some space and time to think things through.” (Max)

- “You did it. You made them better. Better terrorists. (Jordan) - This is so disappointing.” (Kate) 

- “GG thinks she’s unstoppable. That level of pride can only mean one thing. If you damage it, she’ll react. So what does an egotist hate more than anything? (Julien) - Someone taking the mic and doing it better?” (Monet)

- “Because of all the allegedly regrettable things that I’ve done in my life, cheating on you two was the first time that I felt true regret. Look, I miss you both terribly. (Max) - You may not feel that way after you read the next post.” (Audrey)

- “Did you seriously just do that? (Luna) - Do what? (Julien) - Once again you’re so self-obsessed you can’t see anyone outside yourself.” (Luna)

- “So if it’s over and it is over. It’s over for all three of us, right? (Max) - No, we... (Audrey) - All for all or none for none. (Max) - We... (Audrey) - We... (Aki) - ...don’t wanna be done. (Audrey)  - Which “we”? Us three or your two? What an absolute...fool I am, an absolute fucking fool. I loved you. You know that, right? Fuck you, both of you.” (Max)

- “Time to find what makes the city special to me, you know? (Zoya) - Does that include finding a special someone? (Julien) - You all have your great loves. Maybe it’s time I find mine. (Zoya) - Well, seeing that we just became friends. I’d say let’s take it one miracle at a time.” (Audrey)

- “I am that someone. (Julien) - Well, lucky for you two, my dad feels so guilty he wants to buy back my love.” (Audrey)

- “Yeah and models are a dime a dozen anyway. (Aki) - You wanna grill me? Let’s see if you can take the same heat. Have you heard from him? Has anyone? (Julien) - Well. What’s to hear? We hurt him and he hates us, so...” (Aki)

- “I want you to really think about it. I want to know it’s the truth. (Julien) - Once you know there’s no going back. And you may not like it.” (Julien’s aunt)

Gossip Girl, Ep.2x10 - I am Gossip (Spoilers)

Ok, well, that clearly wasn’t supposed to be a series finale at all.  I’m not really going to get into the who or why the show was cancelled. Yes, the show could’ve done things differently that may have kept the audience or made more people want to watch. Lord knows I complained a lot about the first season.  At the same time, given the purge that HBO Max has been going through with their own original shows…I got a feeling that no HBO Max show is really safe.  As for this show finding a new home the odds are pretty non-existent.    

I’m also not going to a recap as such.  Some stories aren’t really worth discussing.  For instance, because of the interview, we all knew that the throuple wouldn’t be together at the end of the episode; but they were supposed to together at the end of the series if it had continued.  It’s too bad we couldn’t have seen the happy ending, but at least we know that what happed here wasn’t the planned one.  And, yes, it’s pretty obvious the guy Max met in Berlin is the friend of the guy Zoya met in Italy.  Imagine those double dates.  

Speaking of which, there are some things I would be curious to know about or what would happen in season 3. Would Obie find a way to clear his mother’s name and oust his sister from the company?  Would Nick be able to clear his name and would the De Haan’s be caught?  Would Monet finally break free of her mother and see her own self-worth?  And what would we have learned about Julien’s and Zoya’s mother?

Now, there are some thing that I am happy about that happened in this episode.  I’m glad Luna decided to be in charge of her own destiny. She’s so above all this petty BS and she’s amazing at what she does.  I’m glad she decided to focus on herself.  Also, I would say she’s the most improved character in this series.  She went to a lacky who’s name I couldn’t remember to, perhaps, my favorite character.

Second, I’m glad Kate got caught.  Not just because of her comeuppance; but because we know that the writers didn’t have time to do a reshoot let alone a rewrite.  Which means the writers were already planning on getting rid of Kate as GG this season. I think that was the most satisfying part of the episode because it truly showed that, no matter how much Kate said she was doing this to make the kids better, it really was all down to her ego.

I'm also not going to lie, I love that scene after the credits.  It’s not because they were going to turn GG into an app; it’s because this new version of GG is being spearheaded by Aki’s Dad.  It’s because it would mean that GG, or the person who controls GG, is Malcolm McDowell.  I’m got to admit, if that had always been the case, I probably would have enjoyed the show more; just for the shear ridiculousness of it.  

But beyond that, there’s really not much more to say.  The show kind of went out with a whimper, but it’s simply because it’s so clearly not an ending.  There’s not that satisfaction of one.
