Note: The following contains spoilers for both the original Gossip Girl on the CW and the HBO reboot.
Like the original Gossip Girl, the pilot of the HBO reboot begins with a blonde entering Manhattan on a train. But unlike the CW’s establishing shot of Serena, the ubergirl of everyone’s dreams, HBO introduces Kate Keller, the villain of the story. They might as well have named her “Karen,” for simplicity’s sake.
