Gossip Girl: The Magnificent Archibalds
By fred | November 18, 2008
(S02E11) With so many characters and so much going on in everyone’s lives, it’s not uncommon for a story to pop up one week only to be forgotten for a few weeks, if not disappear into the abysses never to come back again. This week it was Thanksgiving on the Upper East Side, and that allowed for many things to come to some kind of resolution. And of course, because you always need more drama, we also had lots of new doors opening to future complications.
If at first I liked Jenny when she tried to live her dream and make it on her own, if I was on her side when Rufus wasn’t willing to let her try, last week things changed as Jenny clearly took a wrong turn and went to the dark side. This wasn’t pretty, and it looked like it wasn’t going to be any prettier any time soon, as Jenny wanted to “divorce” her parents.

(S02E12) Finally Gossip Girl was back, and with an episode as good and strong as the show can deliver. Doesn’t mean it’s not flawed, it is (*cough*Aaron*cough*) but as always there are so many characters on this show and so much that happens in everyone’s lives that it doesn’t really matter, there’s good for everyone to enjoy. Because unlike other shows (*cough*Heroes*cough*), lots of characters does not hurt the show.
(S02E13) Aw, Gossip Girl. Last time we were left with a very bad news on the way, and now comes another one : this was the last episode of the year. Sadly we’ll have to wait a few weeks before finding out what happens next, but at least The CW isn’t as stupid as others and the wait won’t be too long, next episode is scheduled for Monday, January 5th.
(S02E14) Well well… some times a new year is time for (good) resolutions and welcome changes, and others things remain the same. As far as Gossip Girl is concerned, it was very much the later, there’s absolutely no question there. Before anything else, what this means is that for the first episode of the year we got an episode that was about as good as any of got last year.
