2.0

Wow. It finally happened. I used to joke about it, but Josh Schwartz and Co, actually did it. Dan Humphrey and Nate Archibald have officially just morphed into Seth Cohen and Ryan Atwood. It happened slowly, but it happened. I see it happening in 4 steps:

Step 1: Dan (Seth) is a social reject, Nate (Ryan) good with people. Dan is awkward and babbles, Nate cool, blond, keeps his thoughts to himself except when it's really important.

Step 2: Dan (Seth) has on again off again relationship with girl of his dreams, Serena (Summer). Nate (Ryan) begins an tumultuous and unclear relationship with a girl from Dan's world, Vanessa (Marissa) while still holding onto sort of feelings from girl back in his own, Blair (Theresa).

Step 3: Dan (Seth) has cool hipster dad, Rufus (Sandy), who has a thing for pretty perfect blonde women named Lilly (Kirsten.) Nate (Ryan) has a white collar criminal father (plain old regular criminal father/brother) and a flaky socialite mother (flaky alcoholic mother).

Step 4: Nate's flaky socialite mother (flaky alcoholic mother) abandons him and they get evicted from their home. So Dan (Seth) and Rufus (Sandy) take Nate (Ryan) in to sleep on their couch (in their poolhouse.)

YES people, Nate has moved in with the Humphreys. Because, clearly, they're trying to further blur the lines between The OC and Gossip Girl.

This is going to be good.

Between this James Vanderbeek's One Tree Hill appearance, and the continued insinuation that we will see Dylan before this season of 90210 is out, all my teen soap dreams are coming true.

Could actually putting the finishing touches on my pilot be far behind?
