Recap: New Haven can Wait
Be the First to Comment!
The GG crew heads to Yale for the weekend, and Jenny convinces Rufus to let her be homeschooled to pursue her fashion career (yawn)
Fashion Loser: Shockingly, all Blair! 1) Blair sleeping in what looked like a cocktail dress at the beginning of the episode (never classy to sleep in what you wore the night before, B) 2) Blair’s funeral-esque getup at the Dean’s dinner party, complete with huge horrendous bow and 3) Her mismatched skirt/blouse ensemble at the end. SERIOUS case of conflicting stripes.
Fashion Winner: Serena’s dress at the Dean’s dinner. A bit low-cut for a college visit, but it fit her like a glove. Take a gossip girl fashion quiz on this episode!
Worst moment(s): “The only real Ivies are the holy trinity—Harvard, Yale, and Princeton” –Blair. Sure, if you’re an elitist snob. Oops, forgot who was talking!
and
The Blair/Serena reconciliation. Like the Georgina story arc last season, Gossip Girl likes to build up great storylines and then diffuse them in the most anti-climactic way possible! After the stunt Blair pulled at the Dean’s dinner, I didn’t think it was gonna be possible for S to forgive her. Then they just make up, and resolve nothing. WTF, GG?
Best Moment: Blair’s jealous meltdown in the Dean’s office after being shocked by Serena: “My hair might not sparkle when the light hits it”
Best quote: “I’m tired of always looking like Darth Vader next to Sunshine Barbie”—Blair
OVERALL: B
Episode nearly completely ruined by last minute unrealistic Blair/Serena reunion. It’s like the writers get bored with a story line and don’t want to follow through.
Beyond that, classic episode: Loved chuck infiltrating skull and bones only to get dirt on its members, Nate dealing with the reality of his father’s embezzling, and Nate/Dan mistaken identities.
