Having possibly set a life long record of 4 days without television (gasp) while in Mexico, my DVR hadth runneth over and I had a some catching up to do last night...
Gossip Girl: Although it's return from hiatus was alone satisfying enough;
as my favorite recap column doth more eloquently explain, I was severely disappointed when the
long awaited promise of a Chuck/Blair consecration was no where to be seen. They didn't even have one scene together. Chuck was off acting completely out of character, jumping the shark with Elle while Blair was having an equally uncharacteristic, albeit foundation laying, moment of self-discovery. It appeared in the previews for next week as though the moment of truth is upon us, but I no longer trust the CW's cockteasers...
Rock of Love: In one of the best/sadest
episodes of the year, Bret delivered some fantastic one-liners that I feel have been missing from him this season. Maybe it's the road or maybe he's been overshadowed by Ashley's awesomeness...but this week's episode left me behind the bushes screamin' for more. I laughed (
"Ah, Lies Make Baby Jesus Cry") and cried (
"He's my B.F......F") then cried/laughed ("
She's hot, groupies don't suck and I've got bigger fish to fry") and then laughed again (
"Seriously, they talked about cereal for 3 hours yesterday are you kidding me"). Oh Ashley, I'm really going miss you -- I'll probably watch Big Love first next Sunday. I don't even know who to root for now...Mindy better step it up, she's my only hope - or
Taya can fall off a stage again, that'd work for me too.
Intervention: Sandy was a mother of 4 with the perfect life until...she turned into her mother. Now Sandy wasn't molested or raped (at least not until later when she was living on the streets) No... unfortunately, Sandy grew up with some alchi parents and as we all seemed to be fated - she turned right on into her mother. So, Sandy starts drinking vodka and mouthwash all day until she gives herself diabetes, then proceeded to abuse those drugs until everything goes to shit...
Ironically, due to my own excesses from the past weekend - I passed out during the intervention and don't know what happened. In my experience -- based on her strong family base, an unrequited love from her husband, but also due to her affinity for mouthwash -- I'm guessing she'll go to the 'hab, get kicked out for relapsing but then go back and have been sober for like 2 weeks when the show aired. Stay strong Sandy -- you've had 9 lives for a reason -- if
Candy Finnigan can do it, so can you!
note: "cockteaser" can now be found in the urban dictionary. thumbs up or down?
