this is my real-life fairytale

letitbelg asked: I love the way you look at things! I think people should just embrace the whole drama of the show! You're right, this show has become nothing but ship wars. I think Dair would have made so much more sense had the writers been more subtle about it. But Dan just falls in love with her out of no where? Where is the back story to that? It makes no sense tbh. I am really excited for the finale. I think it's going to be sooo fun to watch all the drama unfold. Regardless of who ends up with who.

PREACH!

And thank you!  :)

Okay, so I really need to freaking post this.

I watch Gossip Girl. I am not ashamed to say that I love that show. I watched it since season 4 and watched all the other episodes on Netflix, multiple times. So I kind of know this shit, just a little. I may also mention before you read the rest of this, that my brother is a developmental script writer, so I also know a thing or two about that as well.

SO! Let the rant begin!

Today kids, I will be talking about the Gossip Girl season 5 finale.

First: I am aware that there have been rumors saying that season five is the end of the series, and that the rumored season six is simply for contract negotiations and blah blah blah, but I unfortunately think they are going to milk this thing for everything it’s got and make a sixth season. If you’ve seen the show since the beginning, or even for the last couple years, you’re well aware that the quality of each episode has plummeted, and the whole thing has become more of a cheap sop opera than the beautiful, thought provoking, deep television program we had all come to love. It didn’t matter who you shipped, we all loved the show. Now, ship wars are all it’s about! There are no rich, satirical plots that evoke understanding and, at the very least, enjoyment from viewers. They try to add substance with Chuck’s family drama, but it’s all watery and it just makes me sick. But, based on the promos and spoilers I have seen, the finale looks promising. I hope they do it justice.

Though, I can see how a spectacular season finale could be a little bitter-sweet, especially with the proposed sixth season sitting hauntingly on the horizon.

Perhaps I should explain…

From what I can tell, Gossip Girl writers are planning on pulling the whole thing full circle, which I am so excited for! I think it is simply genius to pull the entire thing around. If this has been their plan all along, I say bravo, but maybe it’s just a good way to clean up their mess.

The way I see it, Dair was the awful mistake of our dear friend (note the sarcasm) Joshua Safran, and the other writers are simply cleaning up h4is mistake. Though, I can see this being the plan from the beginning. Dair mirrors so many famous Old Hollywood couples, whether they be in the movies or off the set. But the difference is, we were allowed to love those couples on our own terms; not having them shoved down our throats AFTER the fact that he had already fallen in love with the beatiful couple that is Chair.

Side note, can you already tell who I ship? No? I guess I’ll have to make it a little more obvious.

I think Dair could have worked, maybe, had it been the first couple we were intoduced to. But the thing is, they knew we wouldn’t fall for them right out of the gate, the author of the original Gossip Girl books new that wouldn’t work that way. So why are we being spoon fed this monstrosity now that we already love Chair and Derena (well, some love Serenate, and I respect that, but I can’t say I agree)?!

But, I’m aware my bias is showing, so I digress.

Back to the season 5 finale though. Here’s what I’m seeing happen…

• Blair is going to be pissed about the whole Gossip Girl thing. Not only the e-blast we were left with at the end of last Monday night’s episode, but the fact that Serena didn’t tell her about her being gossip girl for the past few months. If she lied about that, what else could she have lied about? Or at least that’s what Blair’s thinking, I’m sure.
• Of course, this ship war is going to finally have to come to an end and B is going to have to choose the prince or the pauper (figuratively speaking of course,  I’m done with all of that stupid Louis shit) and we all know that even though she may have said otherwise, her heart has always belonged to Chuck.
• Then, upon seeing this happen, Dan runs to the one person he knows will always be there for him - Serena. So they get drunk and blah blah blah.

Then for what I think may very well be the most amazing part of this beautiful season finale

• Serena left for boarding school her sophomore year because she had a few dirty little secrets. One being that she blamed herself for the death of someone. But that was only AFTER she had sex with Nate, her best friend’s boyfriend, on a bar. No, scratch that, the SAME BAR the the American promo shows darling S making out with DAN. FUCKING. HUMPHREY. Who just so happens to be her best friend’s current beau.

My. Mind. Has. Been. Blown.

I feel like this is such an amazing concept for a finale, but as much as I want to see my ships become endgame, I can’t help but wish this had been saved for the SERIES finale. It’s such a tremendous turn around, and such an amazing concept I can’t help but fangirl just thinking about it! I know that a lot of people hate that they are recycling the original Sheppard Wedding Serenate scene, but I think it is utterly brilliant! It is so profound, and a statement like this is something we never expected in a million years from the GG writers! It shows us that people never really do change. That although they have all gotten older and matured, they are still the same people they were in high school. Bitchy Blair will always be bitchy Blair, and slutty Serena will always be slutty Serena. They have all grown, but growth does not change out personalities. I think this a huge step, and gives the 360 degree spin around they have given this show even more awesome and prominent. I love it. I can’t say it enough. I love this fucking plot line.

Although, I much say, I really hope that they don’t add the sixth season. Or, if they do, they wait a few years or so and come back with an “in-ten-years” special that spans for about five or six episodes. I don’t like the idea of the sixth season only because I believe that with the complete turn around this show is making, bringing everybody back to their roots and in the same position they were left in five years ago, adding a sixth season afterwards seems like an afterthought. It’s like adding more on to a building after you’ve completed the top floor - it doesn’t work that way.

I’ll admit, they would have A LOT of loose ends to tie up and A LOT of plot line issues to resolve if they ended the series on it’s fifth season. What happens to Dan in Italy? What does Lily do about being married to two men at once? Does Nate finally get a story line (or at the very least a girl friend who isn’t a guest star)? And of course: Who is the original Gossip Girl?

I for one don’t think it’s going to be anyone obvious. I think Georgina’s out of the question, but what the fuck do I know? Hell, it could be Bart for all I know! (Which, on second thought, it may very well be. I don’t have a clue.) I honestly haven’t a clue as to who the original GG is/was/whatever, but I highly doubt it’s going to be anyone within the Upper East Side’s inner circle. Especially the N.J.B.C. (which I am so thankful they have given us so many scenes of them as of late) or Dan. It could be someone like Jenny or Vanessa, or even Eric; but I really don’t think that’s the case either. I don’t know, Gossip Girl’s tricky - but I hope we find out her identity soon.

Well, that’s all for my little spiel. But what about you? Give me your opinions on this topic! Who do you ship? Do you like the 360? What are your thoughts on the rumored sixth season? What are your predictions for the finale? And of course…

Who do you think is the real Gossip Girl?

Let me know, what are your thoughts?

When I was little I thought Powerline from “A Goofy Movie” was the shit.
