Gossip Girl Podcast: "The Age of Dissonance"
Gossip Girl is finally back, and it gave us plenty to chew over. The kids are participating in their (mandatory) senior class play (except Chuck, who got a doctor's note diagnosing stage fright), and who woulda thunk it -- parts of the play may reflect on their real lives!
The play is an adaptation of "The Age of Innocence," and Blair is convinced that her life is perfect. Then she finds out her offer to Yale has been rescinded (and given to Nelly Yuki!) and everything goes to hell. Someone ratted her out -- and is spilling lots of secrets on Gossip Girl -- but who? Could it be her fresh-faced nemesis from Iowa? Why yes, yes it could. While all this is going on, Serena is trying to hit on the self-absorbed director, Jenny is dragooned into carrying messages, Rufus does some actual parenting, and Dan realizes that Rachel isn't who he thought she was. But really, is any woman EVER who Dan thought she was?Meanwhile, Chuck continues with the tiresome secret society plotline, when his lady love shows up with nemesis Carter Blaizen. She disappears! She needs his help! She's depending on him! Or...it's all a con job. The one upside of this is that Chuck ends up realizing that he wants Blair. Unfortunately, Blair is busy being chatted up by none other than Carter Blaizen. I smell trouble!
Check us out as we discuss Carter vs. Chuck, contemplate what's going on in Blair's head, figure out how to deal with the Cyrano problem, and advise Dan to feel highly insulted. Plus, find out what we said to totally blow Mia's mind!

I thought the Chuck plot was pretty bad. He was running around going nowhere for the past couple of eps.
I preferred Nate and Vanessa to Chuck this episode. But I did like when Blair made Vanessa her official enemy #1.
I don't like that Carter guy, enough said but I will say that his Blair conquest could be interesting.
Mia I would have to disagree I think that he looked nothing like Brody but that's just me.
I never even thought about Jeremy Piven's poisoning thing. I never caught onto it.
I think Chuck had his chance. But Mia I liked how you compared Chuck to Peyton. very awesome.
awesome podcast yet again.

YAY!!!!
you're back! wooo!
Nice to hear from you all again. :)
Jackie, I'm a fellow Vanessa-lover and I atually do like Nate/Vanessa. It beats Nate/Jenny BY FAR.
I agree this was just a tie-up episode but I'm nervous for the Blair storyline. I'm afraid it will be too cliched and boring and seems done before. Eh.
Still, I'm excited it's back, and excited your back!
