This season was something of a clunker, if you ask me… Plotlines running all over the place, characters behaving ridiculously, even for themselves, and over all LAZY writing.

Here’s what I find incredulous about the last few months of GG and particularly last nights episode.

1. When Chuck “gave” Blair to Jack Bass, the real Blair wouldnt have dumped him. She would have semi-understood. ALSO, how rediculous was that whole plot line? Jack Bass comes to NYC to destroy Chuck and then gives back the hotel for a kiss from Blair? All he wanted to was to ruin Chuck’s life… Doubtful.

2. EVERYONE is sleeping with EVERYONE. Especially last night, never once did Serena and Dan mention that they are RELATED! Ehem, people, their parents are married and they have a BROTHER. Who mysteriously disappeared from the show, never to be mentioned again. Also disappeared, Chuck’s mom, not to be referred to again. Something tells me we can expect the same from Serena’s father.

3. I can believe that Blair and her parents would attend the birth of Dorota’s child. BUT, would the whole upper east side and part of brooklyn bombard a woman in the hospital with a new baby? Um. NO. I get that Dorota is like family, but still…. very unrealistic…. especially when Dan, Serena, Nate and Jenny all show up.

4. They get Gossip Girl blasts round the clock, but when Blair is going to be 5 minutes late to meet Chuck, the man of her dreams, she DOESNT CALL HIM? Huh? This isn’t 1990. We have phones now.

5. Chuck and Jenny doing it. Incredible. I get what the writers were trying to show us… but no. I dont think it would really happen. They wanted to show that Jenny was hitting rock bottom. We get it. Who wants to make a bet that Jenny comes home from upstate with short hair and clean eyes and is all refreshed and renewed like Ramona? 

6. Serena and Nate, Serena and Dan, Serena and that politician, Serena and Carter… at least her character is consistent in its stupidity. Lying, gullible, flakey and dumb. That sums up Serena, and her Mother. And I cant stand the way she talks. Marble Mouth.

7. Chuck getting shot….cheap shot, writers… Way to hike up the drama, in the tritest possible way. You couldn’t even think of a way to tie it into the story could you? Shot in prague for the engagement ring. Whatevs.

So in general…. I think this sesason was soap opera awful. I buy the premise of over-privileged teens f-ing around in NYC. I dont buy the whole incestual freak fest that this show turned into. This show is one step away from going down like The O.C.

The reason these shows start to become ridiculous and jump the shark is because its hard to add new characters and the viewers dont really want to watch new people on the show. Its hard enough to keep track of the original cast. BUT when you cant add that many new characters, the characters can only deal with each other and then it becomes an incest-fest, really unbelievable, and ridiculously dramatic.

What do you think? Loved the episode? Like the drama?
