Real nonsense in
Gossip Girl
If you don’t yet have any plans for this weekend, do like I did last weekend and plan an afternoon in to re-watch Gossip Girl. The series that we all gorged on but don’t mind watching again like Sex And The City. Now it just so happens that, and I’m most sure how, I never saw the end of Gossip Girl. Very strange, I seem to have gotten stuck at the beginning of Season Five and then never seen the rest. Whatever happened, I’ve now decided to pick up where I left off and watch the whole thing but to be very honest I’ve now almost nearly stopped again. Because of the sheer nonsense in the series, which truly makes me want to spit blood.
How they solve problems
The following things were happening in the episode that caused the first irritation. Blair is with Louis but is secretly seeing Dan. It is 31 December and Nate is giving a party at the newspaper’s office, The Spectator (implausible enough that he suddenly knows how to run a newspaper) and since Louis is blind as to what Blair is up to, he devises a plan. He makes a slide with a photo of Blair and Dan and writes underneath that they are having an affair, then hides it in Nate’s presentation, which will be given later on at the party. “That way they HAVE to admit.” This is “the only way I could think of to get Blair to admit what she’s doing.” HOW can this be the way? It’s the precedent for all happenings in the series, no-one asks anyone else anything, everyone makes these grand gestures and the decisions are always awkward.
everything to do with technology
You can’t just pop an extra slide into a presentation. On a password locked computer. And that’s not all because everything to do with technology in the series doesn’t make any sense. To start, how is it possible that all those people coincidentally have a Gossip Girl-blast? And why does it always happen at extremely dramatic moments (weddings for example)? People call each other while wearing gloves. Last time I checked the iPhone did not work while wearing gloves. Oh and the amount of sms’s coming in from blocked numbers, people, it’s not possible.
The idiocy of the clothing
Look we all love hysterical outfits, but sometimes it goes overboard. And many times it’s all about nothing, for example in the episode where Blair has walked out on her wedding and has left with Dan to the airport headed to the Dominican Republic for a divorce. IN HER WEDDING OUTFIT. The chick had nothing else with her besides the dress she had on and is now planning to fly to the DR. And then looks surprised when people stare. Come on just stop now.
Anyone can walk in on everyone
Nothing more chic than a private lift that opens in your penthouse. If the day ever arrives that I have one of those lifts, then I’d also like control over who gets into it. During the series, ANYONE seems to be able to walk into the living room unannounced. Seriously, these people have the worst doormen ever.
a total lack of friend zones
Serena, Blair, Nate, Chuck and Dan have all had something with each other. The only link that is missing is between Serena and Chuck. In Season Five, Blair manages to get hitched to Louis, despite the fact that she declared her love for Chuck just a moment before saying I do. Then just three episodes later, she’s suddenly in love with Dan and her love for Chuck has melted like snow in the sun. People, get your shit together. And put one another into the friend zone occasionally, cause this is totally out of hand.
