So I watched Gossip girl(for the first time) knowing Dan is going to be revealed as gossip girl, and closely followed for inconsistencies. There were hardly any. From the beginning, in adds up that Dan is gossip girl. While no one could have possibly known for sure it was Dan, there were some easter eggs hidden. The biggest being with the first mention of gossip girl, the immediate next scene showing Dan sitting in front of a laptop(he had probably just published the post, and his being surprised is justified since he didn't see Serena at the station; he merely received a tip. Add to it the fact that Dan was the one character who was a writer. Then add to it being revealed in season 4 that Dan had been writing inside for a long time, and hence desperately wanted to 'get in'. Although with some of his posts, him attacking people closest to him and himself too from time to time, it makes you wonder whether he has a megalomaniac side which completely overpowers him from time to time. The whole reason I watched Gossip Girl(after finishing you season 3) is Penn Badgley, and I have to say there are many parallels which can be drawn between Dan and Joe. As Penn rightly said in one of his interviews, they're the same guy but Joe has blood on his hands!

Dan being Gossip Girl isn't a plot hole, it makes sense. But they were obviously not going to make it seem like it because that's the point, but to me it made perfect sense that it was Dan. He was an outsider who so badly wanted a life like the other mains and eventually he got it both through his father's marriage and his eventual marriage to Serena and the whole show was him trying to get status and into that world, hence him being so obsessed with commenting on the lives of others. And to not make it obvious, of course he had to write shit about himself, his sister, his Dad etc. on there so it drew attention off him. It was a great ending imo.

Wait. Lily and Will didn't end up together, she kisses Rufus in the finale. I always wondered when Scott would be back. It was like he stopped existing and was never even mentioned again. The biggest plot hole was Chuck's mother. I believe it really was Elizabeth, she looked just like him. Saying it was Diana was just randam as all hell. And then it started to look like it was his father that he needed to find out. But I don't think Jack was ever his father, that was weird too. Dan Humphrey was the most confusing character, did he really do all THAT for his story? Did he ever really love Serena?

Clearly whoever made this video has never lived in New York. This is how New York is for poor people as far as drinking at 13 at clubs
. Look at Aquaria the winner of rupauls drag race season 10. She used to perform in gay bars at 14 and everyone had to wait 7 years for her to be old enough for drag race.
I think ms. Mojo, just has no earthly idea that in New York the only restrictions are an unconvincing personality or your bank account. But having either of those characteristics are both VALUABLE CURRENCY

There is a lot of times where dan is literally present and gossip girl shares the blast, like, how did he do it? in that time, cellphones weren't that advanced to allowed blog post from a simple phone, there is a lot of mistakes, times where he couldn't know or even being capable of doing awful stuff, if he really is gossip girl, then is probably the most psychopath character of all, and everyone just forgave him after doing so much damage to them

Biggest plot hole is how Serena forgave Dan for being GG after like 2 mins of knowing. didn't make any sense, especially considering GG ripped her to shreds for years. I think the Dan/Serena getting together at the end was so forced. And the bad chapter he published about her made zero sense, it was just an excuse to postpone them getting together at the very end. Also, Jenny and Eric falling off the face of the earth was bizarre.

Little Jenny's size: Taylor Momsen was almost the only cast member the same age as her character, so her height increased visibly during the run while everybody else seemed stuck at the same height (recall how she had to reach up to hug Dan when they were dragging the Christmas Tree around, but by the time he knocked down Chuck for deflowering her, she was big enough to have done a better job of it)

gossip girl is SO good, the dialogues, sceneries, dresses, music, pop culture references, that it can be completely unhinged and toxic and it doesnt annoy you at all. i feel the writers and actors never took themselves too seriously, so the viewers couldnt either. it somehow managed to achieve what fifty shades or and just like that could not.

#10 Nates Career: old NY money got him the promotion. This happens a lot in high society.
#9 with the time theyre in, Juliette was most likely emailing her brother which ex-cons do have access to.
#8 drinking age: fake IDs and money. More than likely Chuck also bought the club under Bass Industries which is perfectly legal.

I don't think it was impossible for Dan to have written some of the blasts because of that one episode where Serena was GG and she set a timer for when it was to be uploaded so I'm guessing Dan had that technique and also he mentioned that Jenny knew he was GG for a while so maybe she was working with him to conceal his identity.

I've noticed that the college thing has been a constant trope on CW shows. Smallville, 90210, everyone ends up dropping out, and yet they a; l somehow manage to achieve success in their various career goals, even those where degrees would be much needed.

Actually at some high end restaurants they dont card so if youre that rich it is that easy to get alcohol so ir is believable to an extent. This is the early 2000s Id imagine drinking laws for upper east siders were lax

Personally after it was revealed that Chucks mom was dead, I assumed that the mom he was talking about in the pilot was a stepmother, the whole Elizabeth thing was just as weird as all of Barts conspiracies

What i never understood it's how Lily got free from the false affidavit drama, one episode she was wearing an ankle monitor and suddenly she was no longer wearing it and the topic was never mentioned again.

Bart Bass coming from death at the last season ruined the show and put a further restraint in Chair relationship where their wedding was finished in 20 minutes at the last episode with no grand leadups

And the third one, literally just hide a phone, people pay for these things inside

I've no idea how would Dan know anything about Diana Payne to blackmail her. He never would've kept such a big secret from his friends, even for his own benefit

The fact they all had cellphones but insisted on hiking across town to hopefully find each other and have a 30 second vague conversation in person.
