Gossip Girl Season 2 Episode 5 Recap: Despite the fact that Episode 5 of Season 2 of “Gossip Girl” finally removed some of the silliness that had been there up to that point, our overall assessment of the season has not changed. To us, it feels like it's too little, too late, & given how unlikeable the characters have been, it doesn't look like things will improve much this season.
The plots that have any hope of succeeding are being underutilized & the whole thing is a jumbled muddle. Furthermore, HBO needs to improve its subtitles; why aren't they already available? I'm hoping the network realizes the importance of subtitling scenes in which all of the actors deliberately imitate a regional accent or speech pattern. Now that we have that out of the way, let's check out Season 2 Episode 5 of “Gossip Girl.”
