Gossip Girl Rundown: Episode 25, "The Goodbye Gossip Girl"
This week's season finale of Gossip Girl is everything I've come to expect from this show in terms of the way it ties up loose ends. It ties them, and then it unties them, and then it ties them again. All in an hour.
Ed Westwick and Gemma Arterton are Cathy and Heathcliff
A year ago, we were all atwitter about who could play Heathcliff in a new Wuthering Heights adaptation that was supposed to be headlined by Natalie Portman as Cathy. Well, things look a little different now, as British actress Gemma Arterton has replaced Portman as Cathy — and Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick has been cast as Heathcliff.
The Girl with the Pearl Earring's Olivia Hetreed is still behind the screenplay, which is said to steer away from "stuffy costume drama" and focus mostly on the Heathcliff/Cathy relationship.
Gossip Girl Rundown: Episode 24, "Valley Girls"
Hey, Gossip Girl fans! What did you think of the highly anticipated '80s time warp on this week's episode? Do you think it can work as a spinoff?
Gossip Girl Rundown: Episode 23, "The Wrath of Con"
There's always talk of how manipulative Gossip Girl's Lily can be. Some say she's a bad mom because she's been married a lot and is overly concerned with appearances at the expense of her own children. But I've always thought she seemed cool.

Gossip Girl Rundown: Episode 22, "Southern Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"
This week's Gossip Girl is a big improvement over last week's, just because things (ridiculous things!) are happening, for once. Chuck and Blair reunite to save Serena, Vanessa and Dan drink together, Nate gets an apartment in Murray Hill, and we learn Rufus is a huge dummy with money. Oh, and Georgina is back, and the girl is saved, which is a very fun twist indeed.
Gossip Girl Rundown: Episode 21, "Seder Anything"
So, yippee! Gossip Girl is back! But, um, I think almost every single main character must have taken stupid pills together in some scene that got edited out at the last minute.
TV Tonight: Gossip Girl
I remember being so excited when Gossip Girl started its season earlier than most shows last Fall. Boy, have we been paying for that early start in '09 so far, as the show has taken so many weeks off, I've lost count of where we are in the season. I think that's only added to my sense that GG is slipping a little — it's had a few iffy outings this Spring and not enough consistent episodes to really get some momentum back.
Gossip Girl Rundown: Episode 20, "Remains of the J"
The good news about this week's episode of Gossip Girl? Vanessa is not as annoying as she was last week and is actually lots more fun now that she's gone over to the dark side (hanging out and scheming with Chuck).
The bad news?
Gossip Girl Rundown: Episode 19, "The Grandfather"
I feel like I've seen a million made-for-TV movies about Jackie Kennedy where she accompanies Jack to his family's get-together in Hyannis Port for the first time and it becomes very clear that her future father-in-law will stop at nothing to build an American dynasty.
Apparently, I'm not the only one watching Lifetime movies, because this week's episode of Gossip Girl seems to have been inspired by something similar. We watch Nate's grandpa Vanderbilt (on his mom's side) embrace him despite his father's public scandal.
