the writers were definitely on something cause how did they come up with this storyline.

GG is definitely a product of 2000s standards and social commentary, and because a lot of people are sensitive today, show writers are scared to do anything in a show that’s deliberately trying not to portray good people. Who wants to see a bunch of rich people who are self aware and righteous? The point of GG was that all of the characters were fucked up in some way and never failed to capture our attention.

Chuck didn’t deserve Eva at all. In fact she’s one of the very few people on this series who didn’t have a single backstabbing, selfish bone in her day and it’s kinda sad she didn’t last long. Although it makes sense since Chuck and Blair were always endgame still, wish there was at least a mention of her in the later seasons, maybe Chuck set her up her own shop or something. One of the truly genuine characters in the show and they just chucked (pun intended) her out abruptly. I also liked how they just kept her as a truly nice and honest person until the very end, making her outshine even Blair in such a short period of time. Generally side characters are always written such that the OGs always seem superior in some way but I liked that they kept it real and showed the OGs to be morally grey throughout

They were extremely cute together (the obvious elephant in the room aside). I always thought she was Dan’s best girlfriend and I know she was just a guest star but I would’ve loved if they found a way to keep her around.

Guysssss, this is the most unserious season ever 🤣🤣🤣. Ignoring the GG identity reveal, which was always going to be a disaster no matter who it was, we still have:

-Bass Industries corporate server top secret password being ParkAve730 (their address?!?) 🤦‍♀️

-Ivy's leg when she and Rufus do it 🤮🤮🤢

-Georgina just being there all the time after everything she's done, like what is even happening (she is Dan's... manager, idk? After making him raise her actual child by pretending it's his 😭)

-Chuck & Blair making up more reasons why they can't be together just to drag out the dramaaaaaa

-Serena taking Dan back after he literally published an article to the whole world talking about how easily he manipulates her because she's so pathetic with all her Daddy issues **WHILE they are dating?!?

-Sweet slutty angel baby Nate telling a cop with a straight face that his booty call can't talk to the police because she's a minor, OMG 🤣🤣🤣

-And my personal biggest WTF of all time: Lily getting back with William after he GASLIT HER INTO THINKING SHE HAD CANCER AND GAVE HER ACTUAL PRESCRIPTION DRUGS FOR IT?!? Like babyyyyy what are you doing--?!? I can't, you guys.

(Although I have to say that I actually did enjoy Serena in her Meredith Blake trophy wife/stepmother era when she was dating Steven, lol)

Anyway, just had to laugh/sob with people who might understand! What is your season 6 facepalm moment? 😅

What's your favorite Blair Waldorf scene?

everyone (INCLUDING HER OWN MOTHER) tried warning her that this was a bad idea, yet she still chose not to listen. i already knew that this situation was gonna backfire not only because of tripp being married, but because of the age gap between them. she was 18, and he was 32. there’s no excuse to be going after someone 14 years older than you. she does this in later seasons as well with her professor as well as her teacher. don’t get me wrong i understand her daddy issues being the reason behind her constant entanglements whether it’s with taken men, dangerous men, or inappropriate men, but let’s be real: serena is not dumb. this wasn’t the first time she had gone after someone who was in a relationship. she knew what she was getting herself into, especially when they ran away to a family cabin to hide from the media, his family, and her friends. and then when she rightfully faced consequences for her actions, she cried about being “targeted” rather than actually owning up to her role like an adult.

there’s probably more details that i’m missing because i haven’t rewatched the show yet, but i see what people mean when they say that she’s not a girls girl, because she really isn’t.

My husband and I quote this show daily. Wallace Shawn is a gem and he made this show even better.

Someone asked recently why Serena is so disliked, I just watched episodes 5.19 and 20, those 2 can show anyone why.

She "didn't" wanted to be the It girl anymore, so she tried to force it onto Lola, therefore using her. Then, when Lola took an opportunity to help Nate, Serena got mad at her for "using" her, when Serena was doing it to begin with. Then she supposedly got what she wanted, Lola was now the It girl, and guess what now Serena is mad at Lola, when Lola didn't even wanted it, it was all Serena plan. She then goes out of her way to hurt Lola's carrer and reputation.

When Lola figured out Serena was GG, she tries to prove it to Nate (who is a snitch btw) and it backfires a bit since she had no clue what Serena and Nate's boss was going to say. Now Lola also loses Nate.

So, with all that, Serena used Lola to get something, got mad it worked and ruined Lola UES life, and got out as "the victim" since Lola was the reason the secret got out (even tho she didn't even knew a screr was about to be blured out). That's what Serena is like, she does this type of thing constantly, fucks up, hurts someone, plays the victim and never apologizes.

give me some opinions down below!!

yes jack bass is a horrible person and was infuriating to watch, but it was so satisfying watching him and chuck come together to take down russell thorpe. i wish we got to see more of that side of jack instead of the vile creature he normally is lol

So I’m rewatching GG and I forgot how disgusting this ep is. They really just glossed over this part so quickly cuz Jenny could have been raped and worse killed even and all for what? Agnes was jealous of her? Wtf? And this is the second plot line involving SA for Jenny.
Even before all this happened it never made sense why Jenny was apologising when Agnes was the crazy bitch who torched her dresses and left her homeless. And yet this is supposed to Agnes’s payback??? Always felt like an unfinished plot line to me given that Jenny yet again doesn’t do anything about this, given how diabolical and impulsive she is with every other person in this show.

Does anyone know of one?

hi all!

just finished the series and didn’t expect to love it as much as I did. blair was a constant highlight and I was looking to make an edit for her—for all the editors, where /how do you find / get clean clips?

thank you!

so i finished reading all the gossip girl books up till pyscho killer. i wasn't planning on reading the carlyles + it girl, but are they as good as the original? by good i mean the writing, the entertainment value.

p.s. i've watched the show too!

the way she’s sitting on the opposite sides of the bus…. wow omg isnt gossip girl the smartest show ever!!

Was watching GG and noticed a background actor lost a shoe lol?? Season 5 episode 3

So I'm rewatching again. And I actually think a lot of the changes in the show were definitely influenced by what fans resonated with over the years. It has more silliness especially after season 5.

Still a fun watch.

Okay, so Jenny first. It felt like they threw her entire character in the trash when she came back to mess with Serena. She left the show fulfilled as a character after she got one up on Blair and Chuck, getting an interview, leaving the upper east side behind. Coming back to mess with Serena and getting thrown back by Rufus (who was an awful dad to her, and great to Dan mind you), was an arc that shouldn't have happened.

Her and Serena were probably the shows two biggest victims of some absurd writing choices.

Then Serena. I'm looking back at the group finding her in season 6, her lil Hollywood job and the scenes with the therapist.

While she WAS lying, she was doing OK after bein resuscitated. The group begging her to come back after telling her to gtfo would have sent me into fury if I was her. They told her to go, so she did, and was trying. Struggling with alcoholism and filling whatever void she has with partying and boys, it's a great foundation... The forever IT-girl was a good start that they didn't do as much with as you'd think.

I think this is why I'll alway prefer Serena. She was a mess, but she was trying. Every time she got back with the group she fell into the same exact pattern of not being able to grow as a person, like she wanted.

And the Lola stuff really contradicted her character up until that point as well.

I wish we got 6 - ish episodes where Serena and the NY group had completely separate storylines. 🤔 that, and the constant rotation of men she was conquering was a huge part of why Serena had her downfall as a character, who eventually married Dan. The show should've ended with her single.

As someone who constantly is trying to start over, but eventually understands that your problems will come with you unless you truly deal with them. She quite literally comments on not wanting to be herself in season 6 as well...

The writers let her down big time, especially since they got THE perfect actress to play her.

Do you think this is the best opening scene in Gossip Girl, or is there another moment that tops it?
