I have be an avid 팬 of Gossip Girl from its pilot episode where I clearly remember when Serena 봉고차, 반 der Woodsen stepped into the airport in tune with the “She’s Back” slogan. But lately, Gossip Girl and Serena are getting on my nerves. Why do I have such a beef with Serena’s character?
First of all, I have a serious problem with someone who does not learn from 이전 mistakes, but habitually makes decisions that are based on lies and cover-ups. Serena is a serial liar. She lies to everyone about everything. Serena has lied to Nate, Blair, Dan, and her countless other boyfriends and friends. She has lied to her mom about…well everything, including college and jobs. One thing that the writers of Gossip Girl should keep in mind is that it is fine to create one of those “tragic hero” types so that WE the audience can relate to the character more. 당신 know, the one that has ups and down, makes mistakes, but manages to overcome them and learn how to be a better person? So…when is Serena 봉고차, 반 der Woodsen going to get the revelation? I am tired of waiting for the episode when Serena stops talking about changing her annoying ways and actually does it. There is a point in time when the tragic heroine has screwed up (and screwed around) so many times that redemption at this point is laughable. I wish Serena 봉고차, 반 der Woodsen would do something to help alleviate the stereotypical role of The Blonde, but she does nothing to disprove it.
My 초 debacle with the lovely Serena is that she is a slut, a whore, a wanton woman…or whatever 당신 call it in your country. Um, how many boyfriends/lovers/hook-ups should one young female have when she is only between the ages of 16 and 19? Let’s count shall we: Nate Archibald, Dan Humphrey, Pete (the 콜라 addict), Aaron Rose (the artist), Gabriel (the con-man), Carter Baizen (St. Jude graduate), Trip Vanderbilt (the married politician), Colin Forrester (the professor)…that’s eight so far…but we’re still counting I guess. I am willing to overlook many things in this show (remember I DO 사랑 THIS SHOW), like the glamorization and unreal lives these gorgeous young people live. But I cannot muster enough respect for a character that is so horribly shallow and oblivious.
I am so done with Serena’s character. For those of 당신 who adore her, suit yourself, but the only reason I can explain any fandom for Serena would be because of her beauty 또는 wardrobe…but nothing else.

Like Gossip Girl herself, we're lucky to receive tips from our readers sometimes. One just sent us a series of pictures taken on the set of the show today.
The cast is filming episode 13 of this season - we think that's "Jenny, Full of Grace" and scheduled to air January 11. What do the grainy 사진 depict?
It's unclear. But it appears to be Serena and Nate 키싱 behind that screen. Doesn't it? After he bared his soul last night, it wouldn't be too surprising.

Blair Waldorf: 당신 say that, but I know you. You're Chuck Bass.
Chuck Bass: I'm not Chuck 베이스 without you.
Polo official: What's so funny?
Carter: Old habits. Die hard. Don't worry, I'll find my way. Anyone see a girl in an 주황색, 오렌지 dress?
Nate: Now that we're back on our 집 turf, do I at least get your number? Maybe a last name?
Bree: A little mystery never hurt anyone.
Vanessa: [on the polo match] I'm sure Blair and Chuck will be there, if the murder-suicide I've predicted hasn't happened yet.
Blair: Spare me, S. I get every issue of Hello and OK! there is. I know what 당신 did this summer, and who. Cristiano Ronaldo? I hope 당신 got your shots before 당신 traveled. Should I be worried?
Rufus: Glad I had the number for City Harvest. This is all a little much.
Dan: [on 브런치 spread] A little much? This makes the Four Seasons look like ... one season.
