First and foremost, who gives a frak about the social elite? Well, I guess someone out there does, but as a group I find them a tedious lot at best, at least in fictional settings. I suppose I shouldn't have said "foremost," because another reason I have sometimes disliked the show is the way that Josh Schwartz shows (well, at least THE O.C.) tend to introduce extraordinarily unlikable characters that the show persists in keeping right in your face. In this one we have two inconceivable unpleasant characters, Blair's boyfriend, who has all the personality of a manikin, and his buddy the serial rapist. My suspicion has always been that Josh Schwartz doesn't understand the difference between characters that we love to hate and characters that we merely hate. So why did this episode appeal to me so much? Easy. Neither Manikin Boy nor Serial Rapist Boy are in the episode for even a second. Instead, the episode focuses mainly on Serena and Dan's first official date and Dan's sister Jenny's experiences at a Blair sleepover where they all play Truth or Dare. Unfortunately, Manikin Boy and Serial Rapist Boy aren't dead and will tragically reappear, dragging the show down every second in which they appear. My hope is that Schwartz and Co. will have learned from THE O.C. and its string of tediously unlikable characters (from Oliver to the end); my fear is that they haven't. |
