I love "Gossip Girl." So painfully basic to say but so painfully true. Anything you say to me, I somehow find a way to relate it back to the show. It's pretty sad, actually. My 21st birthday sign was "Gossip Girl"-themed, I've watched the show two times through, and sometimes I watch Chuck and Blair Vines when I can't fall asleep at night (I'm not psychotic, I swear). To be honest, I'll probably start the show again soon for a third... probably even a fourth time. Roll your eyes all you want, but I know you've watched it too, and I can't say I've ever met someone who has disliked the show... except for my mother who watched about two episodes and claimed it was "too catty" for her.
No matter how many times you watch it through, there are so many questions you're left lingering with...
Caution: Before you continue any further, I warn you that the following contains huge spoilers, so if you haven't finished watching the show stop right here.
How did all of the young characters get into the bars and clubs? I understand that they have a lot of power, connections, and were easily able to get their hands on a good fake ID. But they weren't 20-year-olds trying to get into these places; they were 16-year-olds who not to mention, I never even saw get carded.
Did all of the characters decide to make a drop out pact? They all worked so hard to get into these Ivy League schools and then one day they decide to play hooky and then never return.
Who actually was Chuck Bass's father? I mean, I'm 99 percent sure it's Bart Bass, but at the end of season 5, they come up with a theory that Jack might actually be Chuck's father. When Chuck confronts Jack about it, Jack says, "Do you really want to know the answer to that?" and then it gets left up in the air as the show distracts itself with Bart Bass's unfortunate reappearance.
Also... who actually is Chuck's mother? I know it's Elizabeth Fisher, but that's only because I had to google it. There was this huge mystery of finding out who she was, and then they never fully explained the whole story. And an even bigger question (once the air was cleared about Diana Payne's story not being true) is what is the real reason that Elizabeth abandoned Chuck?
Whatever happened to Darota's children? She's pregnant, she has the baby, she gets pregnant again, and then all of a sudden... she's not pregnant? Who is watching these children? I know Blair is high-maintenance (and has her full-time job), but she practically spends more time raising her than her own children.
Why did everyone let Dan off so easily about being Gossip Girl? Especially Serena. She was the main victim of the website and then she marries him. Also, even if she wasn't the biggest victim... isn't she still slightly weirded out that Dan was behind it all? I don't know it just seems like being Gossip Girl is an awfully... girly... thing to be, especially considering the "girl" in Gossip Girl. Maybe that's just me.
Speaking of Dan and Serena ending up together... did they forget that they share a sibling? Did they forget that incest is an actual thing and that marrying your ex-step brother/somewhat half step brother isn't exactly OK? Also, what ever happened to Scott anyway? So many people fall off the radar from this show, it's hard to keep up.
The one relationship I find to (somehow) be even more disturbing than Dan and Serena is William and Lily. After their divorce, the dude gave her fake cancer and Lily finds out that he had a child with her sister while they were married... and then she remarries him?
Speaking of Lily's crazy sister, what ever happened to Carol? Is she just rotting in jail forever? Or what about Lola? Wasn't Lily supposed to be looking after her after she threw her mother in jail?
Did Georgina end up divorcing Philip? She is shown in the future still mingling with Jack Bass after meeting him five years prior right around Chuck and Blair's wedding. I mean, don't get me wrong: Georgina and Jack are one twisted-meant-to-be couple, but there had to be some divorce papers involved in there somewhere between Georgina and Philip. Oh, and does she still have custody over her poor, neglected little Milo? One last thing about them... despite their many crazy acts, am I the only one who grew to find them to be weirdly hilarious characters?
Why (and how) did Nate Archibald end up alone? He was dating Sage Spence at the end, but then when they fast forward to five years in the future, she's gone. So also, what happened to her? The bottom line is if Nate Archibald ends up alone, there's really no hope for any of us.
My final question is why was there such a rush to end the show? We all knew Blair and Chuck would end up together (and thankfully they did), but I expected a little bit more than a rushed, last-minute wedding to keep Blair from having to talk about Bart's death. I mean, the cops literally ran up and interrupted their wedding. Whatever, at least they have their adorable son, Henry, later on to make up for it.
OK, maybe just one last question... can I have Serena's closet?
