Gossip Girl--Episode 4 Highs and Lows

This week, the undisclosed gossip girl narrates us through another episode in the life of fabulously rich upper East Side teens.

Highlights: Serena looking totally glam in blue eyeshadow; the appearance of Margaret Colin (who plays Blair's mother and whose nose has more acting cred than any of the other actors playing parents on this show); Dan telling his father he is trying to figure out if Serena is "worth it."

Lowlights: Serena once again the innocent victim!; Serena once again upset and dewy-eyed with tears!; Chuck once again the unflappable evil nose-flaring villain!

Unforgiveable Lowlight: A C-story plotline involving the parental units and a piece of art. What self-respecting New York art buyer would purchase a painting for her client without knowing the artist's name and sales history? This oversight for the sake of ridiculous plot convenience actually made me turn off the episode before it was over.
