Dreams reflect the ambitions of the subconscious, it makes us assertive about the type of person we want to become but is just not there yet.
Blair pegged her Dream the wrong way, she's not the low self worth person she believed she was. Only if she continued down her path of revenge and hate, would she be the Plain Jane she despised?
Why is Blair headset on plucking power and control as though she could easily pick it from a tree? This vendetta Blair has against herself mirrors her desperation, she doesn't need minions. It isn't high school anymore, people actually carry a mind of their own and would not necessarily respond to empty threats and bullying. In the end Blair Lost everything most fond to her and became the same Jane she dreaded.
The Bette Davis imagery complimented Leighton Meester's cover of 'Bette Davis Eyes'. It is almost profound that Blair's dreams reflect a movie icon. That shows the exact way she perceives life; everything must have a happy ending, but not always does the movie end the way she wants and she cannot control the picture she is shot into. Often times 'All About Eve' is the Blair version of a Nightmare resulting into 'Enough About Eve' already!
The only thing Blair counted on was Chuck, she really has no one else, especially since Serena became obsessive about Carter as opposed to improving her own life. Still, Blair dug her own graveyard when she traded her boyfriend's Ciuman (to another man non-the-less) for a measly roti bakar at a freshman dinner. I understand Blair's obsession to be on top, but her motives are pathetic and her aims only land her flat on her face.
Chuck's compassion is heartbreaking; he would do almost anything for Blair, but he knows the kind of person she is. She would sell even the closest person in her hati, tengah-tengah for a chance to feel like Queen B again. The mistake Blair made was believing that Chuck's hati, tengah-tengah was up for sale, Cinta is unconditional. For Blair, earning forgiveness from Chuck would be a lot easier to accomplish than forgiving herself.
Olivia Burke unfortunately took the spot for the roti bakar and it wasn't even a big deal for her. Hilary Duff's appearance added a certain amusement to the plot, especially when she decided to act like the cliched image of a movie star.
Olivia - "So anyone famous here? I mean besides me"
Vanessa placed the screws all over the place here. She approached the situation with the roti bakar exactly the way Blair would have done it; manipulative and twisted. Blair was actually able to bring Vanessa down with her. It was nice seeing Vanessa's side of the family, her mother's opinion actually matters most and it made sense why she wanted to prove something to her. The roti bakar could have opened her mother's mind up for her success in college. Nothing changed in the end, even when she caught Blair in the act of incriminating herself - another Blair-like act. It was so obvious the way Vanessa held her bag with the microphone upright. Blair was so focused on gloating she didn't even notice, but for the viewers that should have been lebih professional and less predictable.
No one really got their happy ending, not even Serena and Carter, I was even surprised to see Carter out of harms way. His speech was touching, but I couldn't really get the connection between them, there wasn't anything there to die for. Nate's attempt to bring the Buckley's down just felt out place when Carter showed up unharmed. What was the point of the two bodyguards taking him far away? What he did to the Buckley sister was cruel and even heartless, but the Buckleys are putting to much effort into seeking revenge as opposed to helping her. Carter isn't really worth all the attention they are giving him.
The creators have a way of giving Nate undeveloped story-lines and pointless plots. So far Nate has had a series of Cinta affairs and now he's campaigning for his grandfather to seek revenge? The writers need to give Nate worthwhile plots that makes sense and fits into the story they are going for, otherwise his character would altogether be ignored.
This was a slight step up from last weeks 'Rufus Getting Married'. Lily and Rufus seem the exact same as they were before; not that I expect a Cinta shower, but at least something separating their single from their married life.
I am definitely not in agreement with the scar left on Blair and Chuck's relationship since Blair's misdeed. At one point I believed that 'Chuck's meeting' was an excuse for another girl in his place, but I prefer a lie to be alone as opposed to getting with someone to drown your sorrows. Does Vanessa and Blair's truce mean that they might be heading into a friend zone-probably not right away, but Blair needs someone in her life since she and Chuck aren't up in arms.
Olivia is a very interesting character and I really look ke hadapan to seeing lebih of her. I also expect to see lebih paparazzi coverage of her and Dan's relationship, otherwise her 'status as a movie star' would lose its credibility. A few lebih screaming peminat-peminat should also do the trick.
Not bad. I know its hard to follow Jenny's role at school since Blair and Serena was what brought most of the tension, while Jenny stood in the sidelines, but Jenny also dominated the first portion of the mean girls habit in season one. I definitely want some of that spunk back. It would also be good to see what Hazel and the girls are up to.
Georgina's absence was not missed here, but I resent the way they dismissed her. This was also not Blair's finest hour, but with a few tweaks and changes this new version of 'Gossip Girl' could be for the best. I just miss the need to feel like punching someone out because their character really hit a nail. Who knows.
Highlights:
What's up with Serena's wardrobe, has she found a new attachments to shorts.
I actually believed Chuck when he confessed to Ciuman a man before. I wouldn't want to see that again.
Vanessa looked very interesting as Eve.
The last person I expected to give Nasihat to Blair was Lily. Who else would have done it?
Jenny's hairstyle wasn't always like that. I prefer the old look.
Dan gets to Ciuman a movie-star and act normal about it, what's wrong with that picture.

Ain't he a looker?!
Soo Far its great tunjuk and its like The Oc in way but not all the way. It does have drama lil it the show. I like Sernea better then Blair. Its stupid how Blair does that to Sernea all she wants is to stop living in the past and live in the future. If u ask me Blair is being little childlsih about all that. I get that she can be mad that Sernea slept with her boyfriend and Sernea never told Bliar andjust took off like that. Bliar did have right to know but now I think Blair and them might be Friends again who knows we just have to watch the tunjuk tommrrow see what happends between them and their friendship!! Well that whats i think how it is soo far!!
