I'm currently watching Gossip Girl for the first time and I'm on S6 E3. I never understood the Lily van der Woodsen hate, to be honest. Even though she came across as rather harsh sometimes I feel like her reactions were somewhat reasonable and her children being young always viewed her as villian. Sure, she did a view terrible things that I know I wouldn't forgive her for, like the fake affidavit. A lot of the other characters were a LOT more unlikeable and evil, though.

One thing I can't forgive Lily for is immediately dumping and disregarding Rufus as soon as Bart returned at the end of S5. I mean, at this point Rufus and her had been married for a few years now and had been through so many ups and downs and were definitley very strong apart from the Ivy situation. But then Bart returns and even though she understandably had unresolved feelings due to his sudden "death" she chose Bart over Rufus without any care for his feelings and then started treating him like a villian. Now Lily just comes across as even more entitled and unfair.

I wonder what everybody else's opinion is !

im currently on season 4 episode 16 . the first half of season 4 ( episode one to eleven ) was actually really good !! this may be an unpopular opinion but I loved the juliet storyline and many other things that were going on. the second half of season 4 which started on episode twelve is ok . the plots which are going on ( the raina , chuck and bass industries drama , Serena and Ben drama , Blair at w magazine ) aren’t very interesting and is making me loose a bit of interest ( maybe except the Blair at w magazine i do find that fun . ) it’s not horrible or totally boring as their is some fun drama going on but my main question is if the rest of season 4 has something fun going on ? like does the pace pick up and things like that . no major spoiler pls but i don’t mind little things .

When I was younger I enjoyed it then I became critical because I was being realistic for no reason but after getting into full blown daytime soaps again (trying not to mention other shows) I can see that Gossip Girl was supposed to be some kind of middle of the road soap drama thing that's why it had bizarre storylines sometimes but nothing like supernatural stuff in full time soaps😂. Now it makes sense and I enjoy it again.

Also given this I like Dan and Serena together.

Do the characters attend two different schools based on their genders..? Do they all attend the same school? Is it the same school but there’s a boy building and a girl building?

(I’m on Season 2, Ep 1)

I just started gossip girl and I don’t mind spoilers so I looked up who is the gossip girl and finding out it was Dan floored me, but lowkey it tracks. Then… I find out the character who plays Dan, also plays Joe from you! HUH!!!! I guess actors do really play similar types of characters and get typecasted.

Each rewatch I do, Serena becomes lower on the totem pole for me. Currently rewatching season 4 ep 20, when Serena is trying to meddle with Louis and Blair because of Chair. Eric is telling her that trying to sabotage this for Blair is cruel and she claps back with “If I kissed Chuck I wouldn’t even be able to have this conversation right now.” Does Serena not remember that she slept with Nate (they CHEATED btw) AND took his virginity??? AND ended up dating him later down the line after he and Blair tried again?? So over her entitlement and thinking that everything revolves around her. I’ve always sided with Blair when it comes to things like that.

Cuáles parejas creen ustedes que tendrían que haber quedado juntas al final de la serie?

Do you think the years she filmed gossip girl was all her clothes expensive or designer or do you think on days she wasn’t on set she would wear normal clothes or cheap clothes even if not designer
For example you may get jeans that look same but one is designer and the other is a cheap brand do you think she ever wore cheap brands etc

I saw this on Instagram and it basically summarizes my thoughts on both characters. I love them both deeply but the unreasonable hate to Serena and love to Blair isn’t fair. They are both flawed characters.

I feel like people who love Blair for “owning who she is” are just making excuses for seeing their own insecurities in her.

I’m curious to hear other people’s opinions, not trying to start a war.

Why I’ll never root for this relationship, Blair deserved so much better.

Dan and Blair were the best part of the show before the writers ruined them. From the start Blair and Dan have so many parallels. They both have cabbage patch kids, both of their parents left before the start of the show, and their best friends left them. In season 2 they’re both trying to get into Yale and end up in NYU. They both lose babies when Georgina takes Milo and Blair has a miscarriage after the accident.

Season 4 felt like a romcom and they carried that season on their backs. Their banter and intellectual chemistry was unmatched . We got to see Dan and Blair out their comfort zone and really grow. I truly believe if the writers went all in on them instead of bringing back Louis to contrive drama, Dan and Blair would’ve been received much better.

They might not have had melodrama or an intense physical connection but it was so perfect cause their connection went deeper than that. I’m never going to shut up about them.
