Hello people. This blog was basically born out of the fact that I wanted to play around in photoshop! Since Gossip Girl season two premiered the other day, in it's wonderful satirical fashion it mocks the society it represents, so I thought I would take a leaf out of their book. Thus here's my spoof recap of the season opener. It looks long, but it's just a lot of screencaps!

First we start off with a long and boring recap... after, Serena walks on the beach looking all model mysterious. However she gets a mouth full of Bass for talking smack about him and his decision to manwhore instead of running off with Blair to France.

The fun starts here… (Blair has a new "boyfriend", he's American it seems), but for Chuck it's emo faces all the way.

Spotted: Chuck Bass working out how he can strangle Lord Marcus AKA 'James' with his scarf.

It's the next day and Blair's raving about Lord Marcus AKA 'James' to Serena, but Chuck isn't buying what she's selling. Serena acting the bimbo is like: 'whaaa? Who's James? Did you get a gigolo?'

Chuck's all, 'no Blair. You're a lying liar who lies. Once you go Bass you never go back. Now sit still while I Jedi-mind trick you.'

'Hmm?'

Blah Blah Blah, after this we're in Brooklyn again but that's even worse than the boring MILF sex scenes.

Dan's all 'struggling writer guy' and his social-climbing sister (Jenny) is working in a sweatshop, ran by a woman with crazy hair. If you would like to see the woman with crazy hair please click here.

Chuck is checking out Serena's Grandma. He ain't ageist.

Chuck pulls another emo face.

Ouch. That's a lot blow from Blair, not only did she take her pin back from Natey, she gave it to that dickwod Lord Marcus AKA 'James'.

Chuck runs away crying and now wants to go listen to some Dashboard Confessional. Blair talks him off the edge… and instead tells him she loves, like REALLY REALLY Ken and Barbie loves Lord Marcus AKA 'James'.

Blair starts crying because she knows that her declaration of love for Lord Marcus AKA 'James' has driven Chuck to go listen to Dashboard Confessional songs… which means he'll be crying during sex from now on.

Nate got some serious MILF action in the premiere. Too bad despite the fact that he was half naked in this scene it was STILL totally boring. Although, I think the writers have finally worked out what Nate is good for. Not saying much, half nude. If you would like to see more pictures of Nate 'half nude' please click here. At some point Natey gets almost caught by his MILFs husband, it's all very dramatic and I'm bored. Lala, what's MotherChucker doing?

Chuck bumps into Blair the next day and informs her that her beloved Lord Marcus AKA 'James' is a lying liar who lies; he schools in Princeton not Georgetown… thus ensues an argument.

'Georgetown!'

'Princeton!'

5 hours later...

'You suck. Yah, you do.'

Nate and Serena are talking about… well I don't know. I wasn't listening, but Nate looked confused, again. If you would like to see more pictures of Nate looking confused please click here and here.

The boys are playing croquet. Chuck's a metrosexual, so as usual has an outfit for every occasion. Oh Chuck, you diabolical bastard.

Because he's 'Chuck Bass' (and not ironically) he has a PI on speed-dial; he's also been busy during the summer becoming Yoda to Erics Luke -- teaching him the wonders of blackmail, manipulation, scheming and other general evolness.

The White Party: Since Nate didn't get to third with his MILF he's harassing his fake girlfriend, Serena, instead.

Whoops. Dan's escaped Brooklyn. He's also bracing himself to be judgmental.

In the mean time, while Blair's admiring the paint job in the pool house Lord Marcus AKA 'James', is going on about some s*** no one knows what. At this point I'm bracing myself for Dans inevitable 'you slut!!' to Serena, despite manwhoring himself about town all summer. But alas!

Blair sees Chuck across a crowded room, instead of begging him to strangle Lord Marcus AKA 'James' with his scarf she's all:

Blair says: 'You're so funny!'
She's actually saying: 'You're so funny! Only, not really. I'm just making Chuck jealous, so shut up and make like you're not gay.'

After this, we get to see karma bite Dan on the behind whilst Serena pulls this face -- 'that's for calling me a slut you judgemental SOB'. If you would like to see Dan get two drinks thrown over him you'll have to watch the episode because I don't have the bloody clip.

Yes, it's my birthday tommorow (Sunday)! I'm turning 21 and you know what that means... that I can do basically everything I could before. Turning 18 was more fun. But the rabble are all returning from their universities to share in the joy, yay! And in the summer it's roadtrip time.

Now to the real point of this blog.

Lost Finale (Spoilers)
Desmond makes us 'aww', Benry continues to be evil and inscrutable, Kate distracts us with more Kate!faces and Jack exhibits new levels of dickery. Why it must be a Lost season finale!

Ok, I was rather underwhelmed by the Lost finale this year, although they would've had to have done something completely amazing to top season threes fantastic season ender.



I was surprised Locke was in the coffin... and now I'm completely confused.




The highlight of the episode for me was Penny and Des reuniting. I think Lost has successfully made me cry every god damn episode this season!

I didn't like that they actually killed Jin off... I'm also wondering if this was really the end of Micheal. Questions questions questions.











I also liked Sawyer proving he's a hero, especially more than Jackarse, one who will continue to kick arse and take names. Sawyer jumping out of the helicopter to save everyone else was awesome, I'm happy the direction his character is taking -- it's looking less and less likely that he'll end up dying in the end.



What happened to my beloved Daniel!? I don't think they showed us whether he and the others were moved with the island or blown to kingdom come with the boaties.



Poor Jules. She always get jipped, and now she thinks Jack is dead. I hope she gets off CrapHole Island soon.

He's evol.



Benry attempting to move CrapHole Island, oh Ben you magnificent bastard! Seriously Micheal Emerson needs to win an Emmy.





I love Daniel and Charlotte. They're goodbye was quite sad. I read somewhere that some people think Charlotte is Annie. Not too sure about that one.

Yeah I'm incredibly bored so I thought I would spread the boredom by blogging. I've haven't written a blog in literally a year so here I am!

I've actually spent the entire day procrastinating... I have my final set of exams next week for my last year of university -- my first exam is next monday and it's on the English Civil Wars. I'm having trouble concentrating on revision, but I'll get my head down tommorow. In the mean time I nicked this from my BFFs myspace.

Rebecca!

20

My mum is English and my dad was born and bred in Iran until he moved here in the 1980's to study. I'm half English and Iranian, I'm also somewhat Welsh. The British side of my Granddads family are Welsh farmers. Basically I am a bloody mongrel! My dad + my mum makes me 100% complete country bumpkin.

What do you do?
Student bum gathering debt. I'm studying History at university because I'm awesome like that.

Do you know your star sign?

No. I'm just white as a sheet. Typical English person.

Never been to any festivals, but my first gig was going to see Angels and Airwaves. Tom DeLonge oh yes! Too bad it wasn't Blink 182.

Hmm, I absolutely adore academic History but I'm not as good at it as I am philosophy. I have a philosophical mind and I'm pretty sure I'm a theologian at heart. Hopefully I'll go back to university someday to study what I should have done all along.

Benefit makeup. And cleaning, books as well.

What's the craziest thing you've ever done?
I can not go into that here!

No. But when I was 18 I dyed my hair black and then bleached strands of it blonde, I think it was my way of attempting non-conformity. Although after my hair colour changed a great many times thereafter, I decided to go back to my au natural shade. I'm back to my genetic colouring now.

Pale teal (pastel greeny-blue) and white. It's pretty!

Have you ever had stitches?
Several times. I split my head open when I was 4 and I have the biggest f***ing scar ever in my hairline, luckily my fringe covers the bastard and it's invisible. I also had stitches on my lip because I was bitten by a dog when I was 9. Lol.

Describe yourself in one word.
Fickle.

...Going away today. Oh yes Somerset here I come! I'm visiting friends there for a few days (my last hurrah before university starts again in a couple of weeks). Hopefully the pollen season has finished too -- the countryside can be evil that way.

But anyways aside from point collecting as the purpose of this blog, I've been a bit rubbish with commenting on peoples blogs lately so, sorry about that I've just been kinda busy.

See ya.

Joss announced at Comic-Con yesterday that a Ripper TV movie was in the works! The Giles one... Gaah.

I.Have.No.Words.

The most exciting news of all: Ripper is in effect! Ripper is the long-discussed story of Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) pre-Buffy. Who knows whether or not this plot will stay the same, but Head is on board as is the BBC, which is planning to film the story as one 90 minute TV movie.

The BBC have finally started showing Heroes, and I have to admit I found it enjoyable. It was far more comic-book-y than I presumed it was going to be. Although, a great deal of the dialogue was considerably clunky and there was a lot of dodgy acting going on in the Pilot. I've only seen the first two episodes but I have a good impression of it thus far. I hear it gets better, so I look forward to that... but anyway:

Supernatural (season 3)

So Supernatural have cast two women to play Ruby and Bela in season three; Bela is a mercenary type figure who seems reminiscent of Gwen in Angel. She is going to be stealing things (magical junk) that is apparently worth a fair bit, and selling it on. Ruby is a Hunter who will be more experienced than Sam and Dean.

Ruby has been cast:




Bela has been cast:



Katie Cassidy (top) will play Ruby and Lauren Cohan (above photo) will play Bela. I'm excited about seeing Lauren Cohan in action; she's going to be more interesting in terms of acting. From what little I've seen of her she comes off very natural and mature. Cassidy is only 20! And she shows it, the SPN people aren't happy about Cassidy's casting although I think time will tell if she can act. But I'm pretty sure only one of them will make it to a fourth season and it'll probably be Bela (Lauren Cohan). The fans seem to be optimistic about her casting and so am I.

Coincidently both actors auditioned for each others role and then were reversed when they were cast. Also, Laurens Cohan's character (Bela) has been changed so she's English, to accommodate her accent. I'm looking forward to season three; most SPN fans seem to be dreading it! It's about time the show cast some female actors. So I'm happy. There are two interviews with the girls here and here.

Yep I passed all my year 2 university exams! And some of them really well! Take that 16th century economic history. That was a horrid subject. I'm soo happy (incase that's not obvious).

One year left of university until I get my BA Honours degree in History. It's gone way too fast, I may well do philosophy after though... hmm. Anyways I must go, have fun today people of tv.com

Ok that should read 'Miss' since I am indeed a girl... but you get the idea. "Laterz"!
