I am deep into myGossip Girlrewatching.
I just got hooked, and Im revisiting the show for that same reason.
In Season 3, Chuck is fighting Uncle Jack for control of his hotel empire.
Gossip Girl
In Season 3, Chuck is 19.
He is 19 years old and wheeling and dealing like a 60-year-old Mafia boss.
When I was 19, I was living in a dorm room eating jam on Melba toast every night.
These kids are running companies.
People serve them alcohol constantly.
All of the leads have sex with one another besides Serena/Chuck.
And everyone is like, totally OK with that?
I would not be OK with all of this friendcest.
My (former) best friend DID get together with my ex and that shattered our friendship.
I wouldve thought a friendship as often-tenuous as S and Bs wouldnt survive that.
Why doesnt Nate ever sleep with Lily?
Bart Bass dies TWICE?
And very dramatically, at that.
Bart is supposed to be this highly intelligent, super-vigilant bad dude and he falls off a building?
I dont buy it.
My bad, evil dead husband is back!
Isnt there something deeply unsettling about Rufus Humphrey?
Maybe its the necklaces.
Or the caring eyes.
Either way, watching Gossip Girl now I peg him for a huge weirdo.
If I were Serena, Rufus would have made me start locking my doors.
Did ANYONE like Vanessa?
Her father was named Arlo.
She grew up on a commune and referenced it in every single episode.
Jessica Szhor, Im sure youre lovely but god, Vanessa was The.
On a show full of Worsts!
(Except you, Nate, youre flawless.)
They tried really hard to make Bing happen for awhile.
Bing did not happen.
The whole show revolves around these people going to college, but slowly college just … stops.
No one talks about it anymore, not even pretentious Dan.
All of the literary namedropping theres no way Vanessa is taking a class from Sam Shepard.
The Prince just marries Blair.
Its like, NBD that she isnt royal.
Why wasnt Dorota Gossip Girl?
Really, no alternative makes sense to me.
In relation, theres no way Dan is Gossip Girl.
It never added up quite right.
Remember how Blair was pregnant?
Yeah, just a blip on the radar here to get rid of Louis.
We never find out who she is.
What happens to Georginas baby, Milo?
I DIDNT FORGET, GOSSIP GIRL.
Towards the end of the series, Nate, an adult man, dates a high schooler.
And no one bats an eye.
Why was Sage on the show as long as she was?
She was worse than Jenny.
Everything about her is great Michelle Trachtenberg, the costumes, the ridiculous quips.
Nate and Serena dont end up together why?
They have the best chemistry and the same blandly perfect gorgeousness.
I loved them together.
Dair, not so much.
People sure seem to be within close range of one another in New York City.
Two characters are walking down the street scheming about another and OH LOOK WHO IT IS!
Its Dan, who lives in DUMBO, just chillin in the UES.
The coincidences are a little insane.
New York City does get small, but maybe not quite THAT small.
Cyrus is the greatest character on the show.
He gets a lot of credit but I think he deserves more.
What happens to Rufus and Lilys son, Scott?
People vanish an awful lot on this show.
