Gossip Girl

I've ready most of the books, and I started getting disappointed that they've veered so far off from the books. I don't mind them changing and making things different, but I just wish they would keep true to some of the big events/situations that happens in the books.

BTW, why does Vanessa have hair? In the books, she's bald and a very serious film maker!

This is probably one of the only shows I'm glad that it doesn't stick to the books. Big fan of the show the way it is.

I almost prefer that they don't stay with the books because I feel like the show would be too predictable. They're kindof letting the story unfold on its own rather than following the books too closely. It would be nice, though, to keep some of the big happenings from the books in there.

Plus, Chuck Bass is much better as a conniving a-hole (like in the first couple books) than he is as a gay nutjob with a monkey.

I think the reason Vanessa isn't bald is because it's a teen drama and the kids wouldn't understand the social significance of hipster Vanessa with no hair. They'd probably just think she's ugly.
