I don't want to be irrelevant
How appropriate Gossip Girl graduation coincides with one of my favorite New Yorker's own commencements. This series finale leaves me wondering what will become of gang next year as they are scattered to the winds of the ivy league colleges. Who am I kidding they are all going to stay in New York.
It seemed like there might be a Gossip Girl revealing but no such luck. Serena also believes that when she graduates she will be free of Gossip Girl and that the last blast will have been about her recent jail time. Gossip Girl ended up outing everyone with the titles that had been saved up over the years, sensational and true. The gang thinks she might be a senior Constance student.
Summer plans, College, and Gossip Girl Title for our cast of characters:
Dan- skulking around New York ,NYU ,ultimate insider (by far the best title)
Vanessa- backpacking through eastern Europe, NYU, no title
Blair- summer in the city contemplating failure of life,NYU,Weakling
Chuck- world traveler,who needs college,Coward
Serena- Europe trip/search for dad,Brown,After graduation irrelevant
Nate-Scheduled to be an intern at the mayors but changes after being hit on by the mayor to backpack in Europe as planned,Columbia,class whore
Serena wouldn't stop looking for the truth about gossip girl so she spilled all of the last secrets. Dan slept with the teacher, Vanessa and Chuck slept together, Blair slept with Chuck's uncle. Yikes.
Gossip Girl's final lesson of the evening is to teach them that they are all gossip girl and they are all bonded together by the truth.
Lily and Rufus smoke pot and drink beer to celebrate the graduation and to maintain the illusion of their youth. The trip down memory lane sparks a proposal. On again.
The search is on for the next queen of Constance. Luckily Blair still has some weight to throw around and she is going to use it to make Jenny the queen.
Chuck leaves and is all over Europe. Blair thinks he is running away. He is really traveling around collecting all of her favorite things and comes back to profess his love. Could there be a happy ending for the two of them? Stay tuned.
Evil Georgina is setting herself up to be a major player next season. She will be the roommate of Blair if she can work it right. We also see that Rufus and Lily's son, Scott, whom they think is dead, will be in New York trying to hang with Dan. He could be cute and charming.
Carter shows up and tells Serena he knows where her father is. He found him in Figi.
Question: What does it mean to loop someone? That is how Dan found Serena after the grad party at Nate's. I am so out of it. Am I irrelevant?

i didn't realize that i'd got a shout-out on your blog! i am very honored.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me that there is a reason for the title of this show. I don't think I am sufficiently satisfied with the answer that "they are all gossip girl". Then again, Brown totally makes people irrelevant, so who cares what I think?
