starts on Thursday and I am beside myself with excitement.
I have been watching ahead on the internet anyway, but I just want other people to talk about it with.

I'm going to download it all soon and watch, but I am very, very excited by it. It's all very cruel intentions. Have you heard about One of the guys being gay?!? Now I know that it can't be Chace Crawford but my god I so would...

It is very Cruel Intentions but oh, so much more than that. This is the show I decided to devote my spare obsession to when Veronica Mars got cancelled - I can say no more than that. I noted they said "male characters" and neglected to say "main" or "regular", which makes me think it'll be a cop out. My money's on Serena's brother.

I'm hoping that it will become my new obsession. I've not had a proper one since Buffy, and I do miss it.

I'm already waiting for an opportunity to drawl "you know you love me - XOXO" at the end of a conversation in exactly the way that Kristen Bell does it.
I'll be quiet now.

One of the guys being gay?!? Now I know that it can't be Chace Crawford but my god I so would... Do a google search on JC Chasez and Carrie Underwood. I find Chace Crawford aesthetically stunning, yet totally sexless. I might have to change my view if a sex tape was to surface of him being a total pig bottom.

I thought that was just Perez and his insistance that everyone is gay. I think Chace is full of sex, and my god I'd get it out of him given the chance.

In the interests of providing balance, I would totally switch teams for Leighton Meester.

Ooooh I can't wait for this, i've caught bits off youtube. I love the books, even though they are completely vapid.

You couldn't make a Bennifer thing though - it just ends up being Chasez or Chace again. How rubbish.
Hot though

Does anyone know if this is just being shown on ITV2, or are they repeating it on ITV? I can't get ITV2 on my digibox, and I'll be pissed RIGHT off if I can't get my weekly fix of Chace.

I have to admit that I'd rather have Garlic Mushroom over two time Academy Award winning Hillary Swank who manages to look more shemaleific than usual.

Chace Schmace... it's all about Dan and his father (with a new haircut) for me.

My torrents are going into overdrive. It's rather good isn't it?

I'm with you Adrian, Dan was just heavenly.

I thought it was a bit boring, and I found the whole thing rather tame.
Can I have dibs on the rubbish rapist one?

I'm sorry, I just don't get it. This was total shite. Does it get better or should I give up continuing with the series?

I was watching My Name Is Earl instead. I'm sure ITV2 will repeat it about sixteen times.

It was very almost - it felt like it needed to be more bitchy, more funny, more pacey, more zeitgeist-atmospheric-encapsulatory.
I don't really get the concept of Gossip Girl - is she just a narrator who tells us stuff we already know?* Mary Alice with a blog? Carrie Bradshaw on LiveJournal?
* which presumably her readers don't, but we're not her readers

Well, I thought it hit its stride properly round about episode four, so it might be worth hanging on until then, but if you genuinely hated the first episode, I'm not sure it's going to change enough to win you round.

As I said in the chatroom, it just feels like I have seen it all before and it seems like the format is very constrained so i dont see it growing much as a series.
I think I'm over seeing 25 year olds play 15 year olds now, it fooled me when I watched Beverly Hills 90210 but now it just seems stupid.

It really did feel like the whole thing was a half measure. I could see where it was trying to go but it didn't quite get there. How old are these characters supposed to be?

I thought it was a bit boring, and I found the whole thing rather tame. I downloaded the first 3 epsiodes last year and thought it was rubbish. You're right - it's just boring! The voiceover makes me cringe and none of the actors or characters interest me in the slightest.

Looks like it bombed in the ratings as well. Oh dear. (Although quite what ITV2 were thinking in scheduling what is essentially a fluffy guilty pleasure teen show at 10pm, I'm not sure.)
