The Buckley's revelation was an entire joke. So we suffered through the long relationship engagements and extended after hour bed time with Bree and Nate, only to have the end result be an entire sham, and a pathetic one at that. I couldn't really care about Carter and why the Buckley's had it out for him. Frankly I was really disappointed with the delivery of the whole deal, which took a short time to develop with an unpolished revelation. I didn't even see the point to Bree using Nate, if she had done her research well enough Chuck would have been a good alliance, without the strings attached.

As the summer is drawing to a close, Blair and Chuck are madly in love and adjusting to their new "in a relationship" status, breaking all the traditional rules of dating as would be expected. Serena returns from her European adventure with many secrets to hide and a complicated relationship with Carter Baizen. Nate returns from his travels with a mysterious brunette, Bree Buckley (guest star JoAnna Garcia).

Hayden Panettiere and Madeline Zima's same-sex lip-lock might have titillated fanboys, but the buzzed-about kiss did not draw in many new Heroes viewers. The NBC superhero drama pulled in 5.6 million viewers, staying flat from last week and finishing fourth in the 8/7c timeslot behind Dancing with the Stars (16.1 million viewers), House (12.1 million viewers) and a How I Met Your Mother-Accidentally on Purpose combo (8.6 million and 7.8 million viewers, respectively).

Lily and Rufus are getting married! But will something come in the way of their union? Chuck discovers that Carter has not been truthful to Serena, and Georgina hatches a scheme which involves Dan and Vanessa. Blair is suspicious of Bree and tells her concerns to Nate. Watch Gossip Girl season 3 episode 2 here! On a recent Wednesday night, Mr. Badgley, 22, the 'Gossip Girl' star, was shopping at Other Music, an independent record store in the East Village. Under the noses of a couple of indifferent clerks who either did not know who he was or did not care, Mr. Badgley bought a stack of CDs by artists ranging from the hip-hop performer RZA to the Malian kora player Toumani Diabaté.

In the comments, you debated Dan's choice of computer for street-IM-ing, the timeline of Sonic Youth's musical career, and Lily's fashion choices, and swooned over Chuck's pillow talk (and, of course, Dorota, who loves you back). And surprisingly, you felt genuine concern for Carter's future. Looks like you're all a bunch of pansies. Below, your best comments, compiled this week by all-star commenter Annie_in_NY.
