Oh, "Gossip Girl," why must you tease me so? Just when I think we're making progress, with last week's episode demonstrating some nostalgically sharp writing and logical character progression, along comes an episode like "Salon of the Dead," which was so by the numbers it could've been painted by an eight-year-old with a Diy kit and tiny paintbrush.
The separate pieces were all promising: Lola on the verge of discovering Serena's secret; the truth about Chuck's mother finally coming to light; Dan and Blair hosting a fabulous soiree at which every conceivable catastrophe occurs; an actual storyline for Rufus and Lily. And yet the sum of its parts failed to add up to an entertaining whole. The writing felt flat, the scathing wit was nowhere to be found,...

Tonight on Gossip Girl: Dan and Blair Go Public (Sneak Peek)
Blair (Leighton Meester) and Dan (Penn Badgley) have been a couple for a few weeks on Gossip Girl and now that Blair has her divorce papers they can step out as an official item. Not to be one to go all bashful Blair of course wants to announce this in a big way and this becomes the setting for the weekly Gossip Girl event, an event that will see some drama of course.
Blair is free from her royal shackles (that didn't actually seem that bad as she's been swanning around New York since the wedding) and so this 'coming out' event begins as an exercise in revelling in Blair's freedom. As you can see from the sneak peek below, Blair is essentially making plans that are perfect for her without taking into account any of Dan's tastes.
