Gossip girl1．When it comes to family, we’re all still children at heart. No matter how old we get, we always need a place to call home. Because without the people you love most, you can’t help but feel all alone in the world.Sometimes it’s hard to see the lines we’ve drawn, until we cross them. That’s when we rely on the ones we love to pull us back, and give us something to hold on to.有时候，我们很难看见自己亲手划下的界限，知道我们跨越了它们，这时候，我们赖以信任，我们所爱的人会把我们拉回来。
并给我们坚持下去的理由。
2．With enough time, we all find what we’re looking for. Even if it was there all along.只要时间充足，要找的都能找到。

Gossip Girl (TV series)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaGossip Girl is an American teen drama series based on the book series of the same name written by Cecily von Ziegesar. The series was created by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, and premiered on The CW on September 19, 2007. Narrated by the omniscient yet unseen blogger "Gossip Girl", voiced by Kristen Bell, the series revolves around the lives of privileged young adults on Manhattan's Upper East Side in New York City.The series begins with the return of Serena van der Woodsen(Blake Lively) from a mysterious stay at a boarding school in Connecticut.[1]Blair Waldorf(Leighton Meester), whom creators describe as the queen at the center of their chess game,[2] is a longtime friend and occasional rival of Serena's, and the Queen Bee of Constance Billard School's social scene.[3] The story also follows Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick), the bad boy of the Upper East Side, Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford), Chuck's best friend, and other characters of the turbulent Manhattan scene: Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley), Nate's friend and Serena'son-again, off-again ex; Vanessa Abrams (Jessica Szohr), Dan's best friend; and Dan's ambitious sister Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen).[4][5]Production[edit] Episode formatEach episode begins with the blog page of the Gossip Girl blog with Serena's picture from the pilot episode. Afterwards, a recap of events relevant to the upcoming narrative is shown, which ends again with the blog page, only this time with a picture from other character(s) with a text about a recent event connected with the picture.The narrator is the Gossip Girl, voiced by Kristen Bell. She begins the recap with the sentence "Gossip Girl here, your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite," and ends the recap with whispered voices saying "Where has she been?" "Serena" then the voice of Gossip Girl says:"And who am I? That's one secret I'll never tell, you know you love me xoxo Gossip Girl" Each episode usually ends with Gossip Girl saying "You know you love me. xoxo, Gossip Girl."[edit] Filming locations∙Manhattan∙Brooklyn∙Staten Island∙Queens, New Y ork City∙The Hamptons∙Los Angeles (V alley Girls)∙Paris[edit] Cast and charactersMain article: Characters of Gossip GirlThe first episodes of the first season included the original concept from the books, mainly following the lives of the five teenage characters in their high school years. Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) is often described as the 'it girl'. It is revealed that she has had a scandalous past, that continues to haunt her, she is known for her many off-again relationships with the male characters and is known for rebellious drive outs. Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley), an outsider who becomes a part of the turbulent Manhattan scene, an aspiring writer and fairly straight-arrow guy with a good heart and morals. Blair Waldorf(Leighton Meester) is a beautiful Queen Bee of the Constance Billard School's social scene, as well as Serena's best friend and occasional rival. Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford) is the perfect "Golden Boy" of the Upper East Side, always being fought over by the prominent female characters. Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) serves as the show's antihero, being a womanizer and party lover with a troubled life and past that provide a hidden vulnerable side.Beside the five regulars cast members mentioned above, three more characters appeared in the pilot episode. Jenny Humphrey(Taylor Momsen) is Dan's younger sister, who desperately tries to become the next Queen Bee, a goal that makes her realize the true values of life; Lily van der Woodsen (Kelly Rutherford) and Dan's father Rufus Humphrey (Matthew Settle).They share a romantic past that follows them throughout the show, and eventually leads to marriage. Jenny then becomes a regular on the show, despite being younger than the others. The Humphrey family is centered upon as they explore life on the 'Upper East side', Dan trying to look after his little sister as she discovers the party scene.Vanessa Abrams (Jessica Szohr), enters the show in its first season as Dan's past love, and becomes a series regular after the 14th episode. Other characters include Eric van der Woodsen (Connor Paolo) Serena's kind and compassionate brother, who comes out late in the first season and becomes very close with Jenny. Georgina Sparks (Michelle Trachtenberg) is an occasional antagonist in the show, with a recurring role. Carter Baizen (Sebastian Stan) appears as Chuck's enemy with a romantic interest in Serena.Many characters appear as guest stars as parents and other relatives of the main cast. Eleanor Waldorf-Rose (Margaret Colin) and Harold Waldorf (John Shea) appeared as Blair's divorced parents, with Cyrus Rose (Wallace Shawn) as Eleanor's husband and Blair's stepfather. Dorota Kishlovsky (Zuzanna Szadkowski) is Blair's loyal maid. Anne Archibald (Francie Swift) and Howard "The Captain" Archibald (Sam Robards) are Nate's estranged parents, while William van der Bilt I (James Naughton) and William "Tripp" van der Bilt III (Aaron Tveit) are Nate's manipulative grandfather and cousin, respectively. Bartholomew "Bart" Bass (Robert John Burke) is Lily's late ex-husband and Chuck's demanding father, and Jack Bass (Desmond Harrington) is Bart's brother and Chuck's uncle. Celia"CeCe" Rhodes (Caroline Lagerfelt) is Serena's grandmother and Gabriela Abrams (Gina Torres) is Vanessa's mother.[edit] SeasonsMain article: List of Gossip Girl episodes[edit] Season One: 2007–08Main article: Gossip Girl (season 1)The first season premiered on September 19, 2007 and concluded on May 19, 2008, featuring 18 episodes of the planned 22 due to the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike. The season premiered with 3.5 million viewers,[6] and ended with 3.00.[7] Although the ratings were low, the network renewed the show for a second season based on its relative success in the male and female 18-34 age demographic.The first season main focus is Serena's sudden return to the Upper East Side following her mysterious disappearance. Initially, Serena's one night-stand with Nate Archibald, lover to Serena's best friend Blair Waldorf was considered as Serena's reason to leave. However, near the end of the season, the cunning Georgina Sparks, Serena's former friend arrive on the Upper East Side, revealing that the night Serena slept with Nate didn't end there —Serena went to Georgina's apartment and a man died in her hands under the influence of drugs, while being taped. The season also revolves around Serena's relationship with outsider Dan Humphrey; Blair's relationship with Nate and her affair with his best friend Chuck; brief romance between Serena's mother and Dan's father; Blair and Jenny's mentor-protege relationship; and the arrival of Dan's former best friend Vanessa Abrams. The season ends with the revelation of Serena's mystery, and Chuck's leaving Blair on the airport, before leaving to Europe.[edit] Season Two: 2008–09Main article: Gossip Girl (season 2)Season 2 featured 25 episodes and began airing on September 1, 2008 starting at the end of the summer instead of the more conventional start in the fall along with larger TV networks. The season concluded on May 25, 2009. The season premiered with 3.43 million viewers,[8] similar to the first season and ended with 2.23, lower than expected. The penultimate episode of the season, "Valley Girls", was a backdoor pilot for a Gossip Girl spin-off series also titled Valley Girls. The series was set in 1983 and chronicled the teen years of the Gossip Girl character Lily van der Woodsen.The second season mainly explores the senior year of most of the characters, the continuity of their new found relationships, their final encounter with "Gossip Girl", and their attempts to get into college. The first couple of episodes feature part of the summervacation, respectively week before the start of the school year. The role of "Gossip Girl" is slightly decreased. She continues to run her blog, but she keeps the ultimate information for herself, sending it in the final episode as the last blast, where Serena decides to find out who "Gossip Girl" really is, but ultimately fails. The season's main mystery is Serena's involvement with Poppy Lifton, a secretive socialite that tries to steal money from Serena and her friends which ultimately leads to the return of Georgina Sparks, who claims to be changed but eventually decides to get revenge on Blair.The second season also focuses on Blair and Chuck, who were labeled "the heart of GG" by People magazine.[9] At first, both characters negate their feelings for one another, and go through random schemes and manipulations. After all the games are done, both of them eventually say "I love you" to each other. Other storylines include Blair's attempt to enter Yale University; the death of Bart Bass which proves to be a very bad influence on Chuck and the exploration of his involvements; Dan's transformation from outsider to insider and his relationship with Serena's teacher Rachel Carr; Serena's relationships after breaking up with Dan; Jenny's career as fashion designer and her rebellions which ultimately ends with her becoming the next Queen Bee; the end of Nate and Chuck's friendship and Nate's friendship with Dan; Nate's family problems which continue to grow and affect on his new found relationship with Vanessa; Rufus and Lily's relationship after Bart's death, their engagement, and revelation that they have a son.[edit] Season Three: 2009–10Main article: Gossip Girl (season 3)Season 3 featured 22 episodes and began airing on September 14, 2009. The season concluded on May 17, 2010. The season premiered with 2.55 million viewers and ended with 1.98 million viewers, lower than expected.The third season focuses on Blair, Dan & Vanessa getting into NYU along with movie star Olivia Burke (Hilary Duff),[10]whom Dan starts dating; Nate getting into Columbia University; Serena taking a year off from school; Jenny becoming Queen Bee at Constance; and Chuck running the Bass family company, along with now adoptive mother Lily van der Woodsen. The first couple of episodes feature part of the summer vacation, respectively the week before the start of University and School. The role of "Gossip Girl" is slightly decreased throughout the season.Throughout the season there were many guest stars including (Joanna García) as Bree Buckley, a love interest for Nate; America's Next Top Model creator (Tyra Banks) as Ursula Nyquist, a larger than life actress whom Serena served as a publicist for a short time; (William Baldwin) as William van der Woodsen, Serena and Eric’s father, Lily’s ex-husband and Rufus’ long-time rival; and cameos by Lady GaGa, Tory Burch, Jimmy Fallon, Plastiscines, Georgina Chapman and Sonic Youth..[11][12][13]The ninth episode of the season caused a significant amount of controversy. Parent groups urged the CW not to air the episode that contained a threesome. The preview for the episoderevolved around an "OM3" theme. CW ignored these requests and announced that it was going to air the episode as planned.Robert John Burke, who played Chuck's father, Bart Bass, returned for A Christmas Carol themed episode in December, while Desmond Harrington returned as Chuck's uncle Jack Bass with a major storyline involving all Upper East Siders late season, affecting Chuck and Blair's relationship again revolving around Jack and Chuck's estranged mother Evelyn Bass Fisher (Laura Harring) about their plan on getting the Empire Hotel from Chuck. In the end he had to give it away forever, because of the rumors about sex-affairs with his employees made up by his uncle Jack Bass.[14][15]The season focused hugely on Jenny Humphrey's development and downward spiral. She spends a good part of the season alienating herself from Eric, her former best friend, and chasing after Nate, who has his heart set on Serena.
