I'm unsure about this new one on three listens yet, but the song where Mark constantly rhymes about Gossip Girl plotlines is pretty LOL.

So that was a painfully bad episode.

catching up with the last three episodes - it's not as bad as it was toward the middle of the season.

also, Leighton Meester just gets more amazing looking

series finale

anyone else bother watching?

YES. What did you think, single other ILX viewer?

I know objectively speaking that the show is terrible, but it's me and and my partner's comfort viewing, and we'll both quite miss it.

otm ^^

Yes, it was completely terrible, but I loved the final episode in a ridiculous way.

The ending is incredibly awful (and dark!) though, but if they were going to do the reveal I suppose it made sense in a fucked-up way.

I was reminded of when it was great/watchable (s1, s2) and that was about the most I could expect from the finale.

was really happy that lily ended up with scheming jerk ex

poor pretty Nate, after all that trouble trying to uncover Gossip Girl's identity, he doesn't even get to find out for himself.

I'm gonna miss Georgina the most.

Biggest surprise of the six seasons -- Liz Hurley was actually pretty great in this show. I mean, wooden as fuck, but somehow great nonetheless.

My favourite period of this show was the second season, when every episode it was Blair or Chuck doing the "I love you," "We can't do this now" conversation, and even thought they did it every bastard episode, it was somehow ALWAYS HEARTBREAKING.

oh wait is this where I post the trailer for the new one

anyone else watch the premiere? thoughts?

i liked it, though the main boyfriend's guilty rich/wokeness thing is a bit heavy-handed and not sure about spoiling GG's identity so early on gives the premise a bit of an expiry date

I liked it too but criticisms that it's devoid of humor are OTM; the teachers are kind of funny but the kids are not, so there is a big Blair/Dorota shaped hole in the middle of the show.
