IsGossip Girlas juicy and entertaining as it was when it first debuted?
How has it aged in the modern era?
Why does Dan attend a school so far away on Gossip Girl?

In the world ofGossip Girl, this is a greater sin than wearing last season’s Chanel.
He’s not exactly impoverished.
Second of all, commuting daily from Williamsburg to the Upper East Side is pretty unreasonable.

It’s a glimpse into the lives of the ultra privileged.
What happened to Dan and Serena’s half-brother on Gossip Girl?
Yeah, we forgot about it, too.

What exactly happened here?
He doesn’t even show up in the series finale.
Or maybe Dan and Serena wanted to forget about him in light of their renewed romance.

You’d think that at least Rufus and Lily would want to stay in touch, though.
How do none of the parents on Gossip Girl care about their kids partying so hard?
It’s like they have no interest in what their kids get up to.

The teens onGossip Girlhang out in bars and arefrequently out all nightwith little to no parental pushback.
Bart Bass is even fine with son Chuck living on his own while he’s still in high school.
IfGossip Girlis to be believed, most rich people don’t care that much about their children.

Even Dan’s father, though, is pretty lax with his son.
It looks like all the parents onGossip Girlneed to straighten out their priorities, regardless of their net worth.
Why is the school dress code on Gossip Girl never enforced?

Most of the teens (with the notable exception of Vanessa) attend an elite private school onGossip Girl.
Somehow the kids onGossip Girlall seem to wear uniforms that look like they’re tailor-made for them.
Why doesn’t anyone get carded on Gossip Girl?

The legal drinking age doesn’t seem to exist onGossip Girl.
High school-aged kids walk in andorder at barswithout anyone batting an eye.
Cases of champagne are delivered to Serena outside of her school without anyone asking for identification.

Teenagers who aren’t even old enough to driveget drunk at weddingswith no repercussions.
And yet, this is something that’s possible in the world ofGossip Girl.
Aside from the murky legal situation this would create (shouldn’t Dan at least have to sign something?

Surely it needssomerevisions before it’s ready to publish.
How on earth is everyone suddenly cool with Chuck on Gossip Girl?
Yet his friends just laugh off most of his despicable behavior.

Chuck is a pretty unlikable guy for much of the series.
Even more concerning is that we don’t see Chuck actually seeking serious help for his behavior.
His reformed ways might be more convincing after years oftherapyto deal with his underlying issues.

He’s proved that he’s more than capable of kicking up thecharmin order to get his way.
Take therelationship between Dan and Blair, for example.
Blair already knows that she and Chuck are end game.

The Blair and Dan relationship provides for some ofGossip Girl’s most cringe-inducing moments.
Did anyone on Gossip Girl finish college?
For a couple seasons ofGossip Girl, getting into a good college is the top priority of many characters.

Except for Chuck Bass because, well, he’s Chuck Bass and doesn’t care about college.
Did a single person onGossip Girlactually graduate from college?
How did no one know what Charlie looked like on Gossip Girl?

Charlotte “Charlie” Rhodes is Serena’s cousin onGossip Girl.
There are so many flaws in this plan.
For starters, didn’t Serena and her family know what Charlie looked like?
You’d think that Charlotte and Serena would at least beFacebookfriends.
Most of the main cast is white.
Most of the people they date are white.
Most of their classmates are white, and most oftheir friendsare white.
One of the few recurring non-white characters isNelly Yuki, an Asian student who is basically a walking stereotype.
Academically driven, Nelly is Blair’s biggest academic rival and is portrayed as a nerd.
She’s hyper-focused on school and wears glasses.
We never get much of her backstory, and Nelly remains a one-dimensional trope throughout the show.
Not only is this lack of diversity problematic, but it’s also simply not realistic.
How does Dan as Gossip Girl make any sense?
Sorry, but we just can’t buyDan as Gossip Girl.
News), there are plenty of scenes that make it seem pretty clear he isn’t Gossip Girl.
If Dan actuallyisGossip Girl, then he might be an even worse person than Chuck.
Uh, no, Dan.
That’s not love.
Come on, everyone.
First of all, their relationship is completely based on lies.
Oh, and let’s not forget the totally random relationship Dan had with Serena’sbest friend.
Friendsgiving is going to be super awkward afterDan and Serena tie the knot.
It’s only a matter of time before the coupleget divorced.
