Gossip Girl review season 1 to 6 (Dair) (spoilers)

I know I am soooooo late but this year I decided to try gossip girl and I completely fell in love with it, I loved all the characters, I loved the stories, every episode, every season. I was drawn in. I loved the high school feel of the show and even when they left high school it was still very good.

After months of watching the show it has finally ended, I know who gossip girl is, but to me the fact that Dan was gossip girl it didn't really shock me as much as the fact that Kristen Bell being the voice of gossip girl. I loved her in Veronica mars, I feel like I fell in love with her voice. XOXO gossip girl. and I will miss it.

Let me talk about the relationships, I can start with Dan and Serena. The first season, I loved them together. I loved Serena and her efforts to change her self from being someone who drank alot and partied hard. She wanted to be better and Dan helped her with that. After they broke up, they both dated a lot of other people and honestly all the way up to season 4, I still couldn't see them ending up with anyone else. Until Dan and Blair happened. I did kinda see it coming from season three. but I didn't think the writers would actually do it because Chuck and Blair where this epic love.

Before I even saw this show, I had seen comments saying chuck and Blair, so I knew they were THE couple and I did like them, they were for the most part the only couple that stayed together throughout the show. Even though Blair was with a few people and so was Chuck you always knew that they would be back together. But their relationship was quite toxic, they really didn't have that much in common, it was just the extraness of the love and a lot of excuses. I think in total they were only together for some of season 2 and that was it.

The biggest surprise for me is how much I loved Dan and Blairs relationship. I feel like I love the hate to love trope in couples. They hated each other, they were not even friends but seeing them go from not liking each other to secretly going to the movies, becoming friends. Seeing how much Dan cared and loved Blair to me was beautiful because before that like Nate and all other characters, he jumped from one relationship to another but with Blair even though he knew his chances of having her were slim he still waited, his heart still longed to be with her. To protect her.

And he was always there for her with the whole prince mess that went on. Plus, when Blair finally, accepted her feelings, it was so beautiful to watch because Dan made her happy, he was there by her side to support her. She grew to be more independent, to find that Blair happiness that was lost before she was with him and it was nice to watch. They did normal relationship stuff, they spent all night talking to each other.

Also, I do have to say I loved their witty banter, I also loved the first time they did it and it was awful. I laughed so hard and then that elevator scene. Chileeeeee I replayed that scene so many times. When they kissed the way Dan looked at her, it was desire, the way he held her so gently. Their height difference was so beautiful. (im not going to lie until these two got together I didn't notice how short Chuck was or how tall Serena was)

But yes, their height difference was so perfect, that elevator scene were Dan lifted Blair up like she was a feather, I was like woahhhhh. That was hot! Their chemistry was fire.

I knew though that they wouldn't last because Blair and Chuck were the writers end game couple. Their break-up to me seemed forced. Again Blair has to choose another guy or Chuck and of course she always picks Chuck. And Dan sleeps with Serena at the same place she slept with Nate. I feel as though they had to make Dan cheat on Blair so that it looks as though it's even that Blair chose Chuck again and she's not the bad guy.

Season 6 was more about trying to turn Dan into this evil bad guy and Chuck into a good guy even though he ended up basically killing his father and got away with it. Even when Blair and Chuck got back together or she waited for him for 9 episodes, it didn't feel the same. Even when they spoke there wasn't any substance it was either about scheming, Chuck taking his father down, professing their love but there were never any deep conversations like when Blair was with Dan and even their kisses, they weren't as passionate for me, like for Chuck it looked like his lips were closed and pressed together when he kissed her. Like when she kissed Dan she would throw her whole body onto him. It just felt more natural.

Moving on to Serena and Dan. If these two hadn't gotten together in the end, I would have been okay with it. Serena has been in love so many times and each time she always thinks his the one, a professor, or two. A married man, an ex-con. Nate and so on.

When Dan and Serena got back together, it didn't feel as though Dan really liked her as much. The way he looked at Serena wasn't as loving as the way he looked at Blair. So, when it was revealed that he was sorta doing it for his story, it made sense to me. But then the writers wanted us to believe that Serena had always been the one for him, he never lost interest in her, he had always loved her and I call Bull to that because she had confessed before and he wasn't interested at all. He loved Blair.

To me, Dan and Blair are the ultimate couple of Gossip Girl and I enjoyed their couple very much.

Also, something that annoyed me is that the writers never really gave us an indication as to when they finished college, Serena took a semester off and never went back the rest just forgot about college and there was no mention of them graduating. It was forgotten.

But anyways, I really enjoyed the show, it's a shame I didn't watch it when it came out but at least I didn't have to wait for new episodes to come out. What am I going to do with my life now, lol. I really enjoyed the show. A wonderful gem.
