Why I keep watching...and why I am still disappointed.

posted by pink_martini2

I'm am so completely frustrated with GG right now. No TV show that I've watched can beat GG on speediness with story arcs and plot lines.

I watch this show with my friends. And every monday we ask ourselves, "why are we still watching this?" The show is so poorly pieced together right now.
Maybe we're hoping for a turn around, where the story unfolded over a couple episodes and not within the 40 minutes of an episode. Here's to hope I guess.

Now for my rant on "Remains of the J":
+What kind of break up was that Nate?
"You should have seen this coming"? Was that really Nate saying that or the writers trying to cut corners?
Last episode he was reassuring Vanessa and all lovey dovey. Then in this episode, he goes through the break up like it was a small chore. -_-' The writers are getting sloppy AND LAZY.
+Blair, I'm sorry, but I use to take enjoyment out of her bitching and plotting. Recently she's just come across as whiny...and pathetic.
+ Chuck&Vanessa - Really? As much as I am okay with this pair. This was just the wrong place and the wrong time. TOTAL FAIL ON EXECUTION OF THIS. I'm mean...SERIOUSLY?!?! Bah!

Tonight's episode could have been so juicy. I mean some serious OMFG moments. But recently, I've been feeling more "WTF" that "OMG".

TmoVie_obsessed i agree. lately I've been thinking the same thing. I don't even think I watch the show for the plot anymore it's gotten so messed up. I just want to see how it'll end, and I also really just want Chuck and Blair to get together. It just seems like the writers are trying to put in too many stories at a time, and they all only last 2-3 episodes, which makes the show seem overly-stuffed and rushed. Most of those storylines aren't good in the first place. So pretty much what I'm saying is, yeah I agree with you completely!

Mena09 Same thing here...Although I just watched the first 30 minutes of this episode then I missed th rest of the show, but I get your point GG was way better on Season 1, at least that´s what I think. In season 1 I used to remember the name of the episodes and the little details, now I can hardly know a fact about the episodes. I just keep watching to se what happens. Hop Season 3 will be better. I want to see some action...

SawyerxScott haha me too. But recently, I've been feeling more "WTF" that "OMG". where the action! :S

germany123 totally agree- also nate has been in love with jenny,vanessa and blair within the last what...10 episodes? he cant have been serious aboot any of them..oh and not to forget the cougar at the beginning of the season, he really gets ever them quickly! also agree with you aboot blair, she has totally lost her vibe and dedication which would be fine if it was just a phase but its been going on forever now- and that ridiculous taking down the teacher fiasco? i dont see where they are going at all with the story but like everyone said i watch it hoping they will get back on track- and to see the dresses and the perfectly groomed 17 yr olds drinking champagne...thats amusing.
