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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

I think it's fair to say that last week's new episode of Gossip Girl kind of sucked. It's sad because I waited through all those weeks of reruns for one of my favorite guilty pleasures to come back — and so tonight I'm hoping for a return to form.
Last week's episode was uncharacteristically boring, with a lot of time spent on things like Serena's silly crush on the school play director, Dan's dumb tryst with that lame teacher, and Nate and Vanessa's yawn-inducing relationship tiff.

My Monday nights have definitely been lacking a certain something since Gossip Girl went into repeats a month ago. But it's starting to seem like we've made it through the worst, as it's just two more weeks till the Upper East Siders are snarking all over my screen again. To celebrate, I've got a quick new look at what's to come, but before that, here's a quick roundup of what we know will be happening when GG finally returns on March 16:
- Tamara Feldman will be back as Poppy Lifton, Serena's socialite friend, for four episodes.
- She'll factor into Serena's torrid new love affair that may be at least partially inspired by Anne Hathaway's life.
- That will also help trigger the return of Georgina Sparks — as a reformed hippie?
- Another on the list of returning recurring characters: Carter Baizen (Sebastian Stan).
- No Doubt will appear on the show's May 11 episode, otherwise known as the young Lily flashback episode, performing Adam and the Ants' "Stand and Deliver" — though it's unclear if they'll be present-day No Doubt or an '80s throwback.
- Oh yeah — and we still have to see some exes kissing (yeah, there be spoilers).
So, let me open this up to you: What do you want to see in the final part of Gossip Girl's season?

Casting rumors about the new Gossip Girl spinoff swirled earlier today and now we've got some confirmation: Brittany Snow has been offered the role of young Lily!
We already knew Krysten Ritter would be playing her older sister, and in addition to finding Lily, the show's creators also cast Shiloh Fernandez as Owen, "a hot Valley punk guy with a caustic wit." Here's a new rundown of the show's plot from The Hollywood Reporter:
Overnight, Lily has to transition from a life of luxury and education at a wealthy Montecito boarding school to living deep in the San Fernando Valley she once made fun of and going to public school.
