Yeah, I definitely think Gossip Girl is more interesting than 90210. Mostly because everyone in it (apart from Jenny and Dan) are totally fucked up. LOL!
I hated him in the first episode, and I've talked with some other fans who also changed their mind and it seems like his characterization changes drastically after that. It's like they didn't know what to do with him at first but then settled into his character.
So yeah, when I was first watching, I called him Chuck the fuck, and didn't want anything to do with him.
Hee, don't worry, the Humphreys will get there too.
I have to say that the most fucked up of them all is probably Nate. I spend every episode where he has a significant role going 'Oh, Nate.' The poor guy's life genuinely sucks.
And my Chuck hate was pretty strong for the first few episodes. I still think they overdid it in the pilot. Ed Westwick's a good actor, and I wish they hadn't taken his smarminess that far, that early.
I absolutly HATE the promotion GG gets, especially cause I think SV/SPN deserves it a lot more, but I totally agree with you. Gossip Girl is way more interesting then 90210!
Give it time. Dan and Jenny have their moments, too. :) Especially Jenny!
In S1 Dan and Serena were my favorites, but now I kind of love Blair and Chuck. And I have a real soft spot for Nate, poor baby. Talk about fucked up, his father is unbelievable!
HERE is an interview with Ed Westwick. It's from early on, so it's not spoilery at all.
I have not delved too much into the characterizations yet of GG, but all I know is, the cast is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy prettier than 90210, so yeah, will continue dl new eps of GG and also starting next week to take the entire forst season of gg :D
