The celebration of Passover, a holiday featured in previous episodes of Gossip Girl, centers around the Jewish people’s retelling of the story of their emancipation from Egyptian slavery under the Pharaohs. One of the central themes of the holiday is a reflection on the gratitude and responsibility that one owes to one’s ancestors, through whose suffering and perseverance we are all where we are today. It is like Amistad said: I am standing on the shoulders of my ancestors, riiiiiiight? Now, aside from the communal Seder dinner, the ways in which people choose to honor the struggles and choices of those who came before them in order to grant them the life they now lead are varied and deeply personal, but I will tell you one thing that our forebears were NOT running on blistered feet through the scorched desert with bits of dried manna in the corners of their mouth in order to ensure for their descendents: to watch fucking Gossip Girl. My point is, I missed last night’s episode, out of respect.
I’m sure it was great though! (I am not sure it was great.) I know that I’m one of only 14 people who still watch this show, and two of those 14 are Jessica Szohr’s grandparents. But for those of us who are still wandering through the proverbial wasteland of Gossip Girl praying to a God who has definitely foresaken us, this is a place to discuss what happened! Did Jenny get hit by a bus? Did Rufus get hit by a bus? Did Jack get hit by a bus? Did Lily get hit by a bus? Did Eric get hit by a bus? Did Serena get hit by a bus? Did Vanya get hit by a bus? I have so many questions! (Image via NYMag.)

SPOILER: everyone got hit by a bus
WHY DOES NO ONE STOP THOSE BUSSES?
What does it say about me if I read this post and was waiting for you to post this exact gif? Does this mean ‘The Secret’ is a real thing?
For just being ‘that Amelia guy’ you’re really stepping it up.
Mind twins!
I’m so into this argument that I’m going to start crossing the street even though the argument is far from over! Look at me, arguing while standing right in the middle of the street, like I never went to kindergarten! Rules, I don’t care about your ru–
You’re missing the clip from Skins where Tony gets hit by a bus. UNACCEPTABLE.
I would never have thought of Ned as a Skins fan!
Was it left out because he was just on the phone (with Effy, right?) and not actually arguing with someone as he slowly backed away?
He was on the phone with Michelle, Effy was in the car.
It was more like “Listen, I lov-” wham!
And then a sweet music number.
Oh, baby, it’s a wild world!
I think it should still count. It was a pretty epic bus hit.
Continuing last week’s trend, Jenny almost got hit by a rape bus.
I felt the writers mocking us with the “falling into a rut” story-line involving the boring couple.
SO, Ricky Martin just came out (*gasp* what a fucking douche) so maybe this will inspire those two gossip Girl queens to finally do the same. ugh.
oh. but i don’t watch this show so I have nothing to add….I vote “Everyone Hit by Bus.”
I have it on good authority that Ed Westwick is not Gay, Bi maybe, but definitely not exclusive to males.
whispers: did you have sex with him?
as much as i wish that ed westwick and chace crawford are totally gay for each other, the part of me that exists in the real world thinks they’re probably just roommates, like lots of people are roommates.
I don’t care. I honestly don’t care. I just hate that “outness” has become a stage in an actor’s carreer that warrants either articles by way of People or Rolling Stone. They are calling Ricky Martin “brave” now. guh. fuck me.
At least Sean Patrick Hayes finally came out a few weeks ago! I had no idea. So brave. So very, very brave.
I watched it last night for the first time in a long time. I never realized Chuck Bass’ uncle was Doug Benson.
♫They’re cousins, identical cousins!!♫
Take 2:

Fail
How does she not get frosting in her hair???? Inquiring minds only sorta care to know.
Leighton Meester’s contract has a clause against frosting in the hair.
That frosting looks like Juggalo makeup, ninjas.
I wish I was a stupid bus. So I could be responsible for the destruction of everyone on this show, you see.
All I know is that since there is no recap, I watched this hour of garbage for nothing. What a waste! Spolier alert: Jenny almost gets raped! again!
There was a moment last night when Nate, Serena, Dan and Vanessa were all in the same room and I realized, they had all once dated (or the GG version of dating) each other at one moment or another during the series- excluding same sex relationships.
So either these characters will all go CW-gay next season or start developing deep and emotional relationships as real human beings.
Next Season: Same People, New Couples, Same Sex!
Does it make me a male chauvinist to say that wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world, especially considering the picture above? I’ll show myself and my embarrassingly red-blooded male sex drive out.
Hey, I’m a 100% hetero woman and I’ll admit that the picture is hot. That may just be the ice cream though.
Plus I have a sneaking suspicion that the pic helped boost the upvote count. *Note to self, include more girl-girl images when commenting even if it’s not relevant*
I missed it too! Were there waffles?
So many waffles.
Oh, there were waffle jokes, but no actual waffles were consumed. As though anyone besides the jerk twins eats on this show.
But Eleanor, glorious Eleanor came back! So that was a thing. Also Dorota!
there totally were waffles at the brunch rufus hosted for dan and vanessa.
now i have to go kill myself for knowing that.
DAMN IT! I swear I was up on the waffles knowledge this ep. Don’t be upset with yourself because you know about the brunch, I mean the writers are basically fucking with us now anyway and watching gossip girl is all right! It’s a good show! Read what Jacob has to say on television without pity, for reals, he is a crazy person who says amazing things about ridiculous tv.
No one got hit by a bus, but Dorota is pregnant. (With a bus that grows up overnight to run over everyone, I hope.)
But the Gossip Girl recaps are one of the highlights of my Videogum week! My week is ruined now!
Damn you Jewish people, with your lovely traditions and holidays and your history of suffering and oppression, getting in the way of funny recaps of tv shows I don’t even watch anymore.
“I’m you’re mother” “You’re my mother” “I’m not your mother” “You’re not my mother” almostrape “I’m his mother”
Let’s just pretend that I used “you’re” incorrectly THREE (three!) times in order to further enforce how dumb everyone on this show is. Ok great.
Instead of being almost raped in every episode, I wish Jenny was being almost hit by a bus in every episode. Or rather, actually being hit by a bus in every episode. A bus driven by me.
whoa,I was scrolling by thought this was the Jonas bros for a second.
Highlight — Roofied Jenny was being stuffed into a taxi and Veronica Mars said, “Uh, oh, better call the fashion police.” HOW ABOUT THE REAL POLICE? I THINK THE FASHION POLICE WOULD BE KIND OF USELESS WHEN IT COMES TO RAPE EMERGENCIES.
Wait, wasn’t Veronica Mars also roofied on her show? And didn’t the real police not really seem to care or help her? I’m pretty sure the fashion police would’ve cared even less.
I watched this show for the first time on monday and all i can say is this:
also i’m not sure whether those pics will show up. i’m a n00b.
yay me!
