I'm just thankful that this time he's dissecting something I haven't the slightest interest in watching.
You're missing some good Ho-yay, IJS.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Is he really serious? I like the rest of his rant, but damn. Hyperbole much?

He hasn't given an episode any less than an A all season (nine episodes so far). Which, I think, is the best track record I've seen on TWoP. (As Gris said to me, he kind of screwed himself over on the grading system by giving the pilot an A+...because every subsequent episode has been better than the pilot.)

Hey. New board.
He gave the pilot an A, actually. Then a whole lot of A+'s. There've been a couple of other A's since.
To be fair, the audience has given every episode but the pilot an A or A+, and the pilot was a B+. So it's pretty well liked by us non-recappers too. It's my favorite show on TV right now, far and away.

I tried very hard to like Gossip Girl but I just couldn't do it.

I caught, like, half an episode that completely failed to engage me in any way. But more power to the folks who find it that enjoyable.

Gossip Girl is cheeseball, horrible, plays crap music, and doesn't have a tenth of the sense of humour about itself that the OC did, and I still can't stop watching it!

I want to watch it but GF won't let me. I learned of the Gossip Girl books through my juvenile hall girls and read one to see what all the fuss was about. It was awesome! Mindless but so fun!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I'm not convinced by the argument the network is keeping it alive because of new media stuff. Maybe it's like, the number one iTunes series evah and I've missed it, though.

Actually, the recent EW article mentioned iTunes specifically:
So it's significant that Gossip Girl is consistently the most downloaded show on iTunes (it edged past The Office soon after it premiered in September), and it gets about a 14 percent hike in female teens and 30 percent in 18- to 34-year-olds when DVR viewings are factored in
