As usual, many of you heard and saw things in the last episode of “Gossip Girl” that our cataract-glazed, old eyes and ancient ears did not, like the multiple references to the Greatest Show of Another Time, “Beverly Hills, 90210”, and the Greatest Movie of the Time Just After That But Before This Time, “Cruel Intentions”
— Yet another great moment from an NYmag recap of Gossip Girl. I’m totally in love with Gossip Girl. As Kavya (the only 16 year old I know) put it: “It’s completely ridiculous, but entertaining”. The recaps have become major events, now done in two passes - first the recap written by the magazine, then the recap that collects the best comments made on the original recap. Another highlight: “Vanessa observes and interacts with chuck in a way I find organic, human, and beautiful”. Classic! [Aside: now even the recap of the recap gets a few comments. How many levels of recursion are possible on this show?]
