I really REALLY enjoyed it. It was great and strong for a premiere.
The only things that were boring and tasteless was Dan's playboy shizzz. And his solo scenes were so uninteresting, my focus actually wandered off until those girls threw their drinks on him. Serena didn't really bug me either her presence wasn't even really noticeable I thought. I kind of liked that conversation with her and Dan when she was cleaning his blazer. That's probably because Blake and Penn are dating in real life and you could feel the love haha.
I'm still happy it won't last for long because they'll be back to their boring selves in no time and I can't bare to watch that snoozefest no more.
Nate and the older woman were entertaining, a bit over the top at times like near the end but I liked it. And I thought it was clever to those who weren't in the know about Nate's doings and such, so when he kissed her in the car most viewers probably thought he was kissing Serena and than it's reveiled to be Katherine.
I also cared for Blair and Chuck, which is a first but the emotional scenes were touching. "3 words, eight letters" especially.
And in general I just

me some Blair. Her expressions and quotes were missed! And Gossip Girl's comment "Ain't karma a bitch? We know Blair Waldorf is." LOVE IT
And Eric was witty too hahaha, I was like damn Eric you're almost there with Chuck and Blair when it comes down to remarks.
But the scenes I enjoyed most were those of Jenny! Hahaha, really, Taylor Momsen's acting has improved lots it's more natural and not forced.
I loved the scenes with her and Laurel, the bitch got pwned!!!
Can't wait for next weeks episode
