Gossip Girl Finale

Well. I‘ll admit that I have‘t loved Gossip Girl this season. Don't get me wrong-- I've liked *aspects* of it, such as watching Blair, Dan, and Vanessa at NYU. As a whole, though, individual episodes haven't made me that excited. Also, as a result of this season, I HATE Jenny Humphrey (which I guess was as the writers intended) and don't really care about any of the major couples anymore. *However*, I got more excited about the finale than I have about an episode in a long time (to the extent where I got up too fast at the end and splashed my coffee everywhere. Oops). My thoughts, in no particular order:

--Chuck Bass can't be DEAD, can he? Would they do that? No. I don't see how. Nevertheless-- wow! I pretty much thought the episode was over at that point and thought they would go out with the "Georgina is pregnant" shocker, and then-- WOW!

--Speaking of the "Georgina is pregnant" thing, I laughed out loud-- really hard, actually-- twice this episode: when Dan just walked up to Chuck and punched him in the face, and at the look on Dan's face when Georgina whipped off her coat and announced she was pregnant with his baby. Oh, yeah, and I laughed a little when Rufus just wandered up during the big Dan/Jenny/Blair/Chuck confrontation all, "Hey, who's hungry?" But seriously-- I love how Georgina just shows up at the end of every season to raise hell, and I seriously doubt that the pregnancy will result in more than a lot of humor and fun drama. Like, *if* she's actually pregnant-- and we all know she's totally the type to fake a pregnancy-- I seriously doubt that it's even Dan's. So, yeah-- humor and drama.

--I guess the only other thing worth talking about is Jenny losing her virginity to Chuck. Like, it kind of made me sick, yet it was kind of inevitable-- like, who *hasn't* Chuck slept with on this show? I also find it pretty weird that they've made such a huge deal this season over Jenny losing her virginity when many other main characters (Dan, Vanessa, Blair, etc.) have lost their virginity since the show began, and they all just kind of did it when the time was right and moved on with it. So...yeah. Not too many thoughts on that.

--Glad Jenny is leaving, and hope she stays gone for awhile.

Aaaand...that's it!
