I haven't seen it but I mostly care about Julien, her relationship with Zoya, and the dads

Also Obie is useless

[alignedchakras]

There were a lot more scenes with him in this episode so all I could notice was that Aki's actor is the weakest acting wise and that's really saying something considering the rest of the acting on this show.

Not into this Kate and Zoya's dad storyline they are setting up. Also, am I the only one who finds Kate's voice extremely annoying?

[false_hate]

Kate's voice and exaggerated acting are exhausting to watch. She goes from OMG WE ARE RUINING LIVES, WE ARE GOING TO GET FIRED YOU GUYS, I WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, etc. and then is calm and cool about running GG by the end of the episode.

[alignedchakras]

Also like the fact that her behavior doesn't seem like she's concerned about getting caught at all? She literally has had the GG page up right in front of the dad in multiple scenes at this point. The timing of him entering his email in her phone and then it popping up with a bunch of GG notifications is such a reckless choice

[madame_no]

Her voice and how she chews on every word drive me insane. She is embarrassingly bad and whoever cast her should be fired. LOL Idk why I'm so cranky about this. But she's the worst,

Not me as student going to my teacher's office and asking if he can answer a homework question after he'd done getting sucked off by my 17 year old classmate in broad daylight. I really feel like he might get murdered in the finale next week.

I like how emotionally intelligent Aki is at times. He is still very much a teenager but also looks out for his friends and isn't afraid to fire back questions to his girlfriend instead of just nodding his head in agreement.

That teacher is now threatening Aki. Wtf . Aki get behind me #GossipGirl pic.twitter.com/CrUOJufYYF

Enjoyed the brief scene where all the girls got to kiki outside school. It was cool even if they ended up again planning out their marketing strategy instead of just having fun as privileged teenagers.

Glad to to see more adults entering the show to stalk and obsess over a 15 year old.

Wait, next week is the finale? I didn't realize they had such a short season

[false_hate]

Just the midseason finale!

it makes NO sense for me that monet/luna aren’t showing any interest in taking julien’s spot as ~queen bee. their personalities literally are just based on julien’s fame as you said and it’s so lame! give them personalities and something else to do!

[spiral_mystik]

I know that Twitter is crazy about them because they're pretty but they are terribly written.
The explanation that Monet needs her internship is lazy. And she's actually shit that her job! Her advice always sucks. Maybe if we saw more of her life, I could understand more why she's so obsessed with being in control but right now, she's one-dimensional.
Same for Luna, who apparently was fine last episode with tricking Julien by posting that video of Zoya being bullied, but now it's fuck Monet because she betrayed Julien about the costumes? Oh, and she has an agent anyway so she doesn't need this. What? Outside of her one-liners, she has no personality.

[tucker]

I agree

For some reason the minions worked on the original gossip girl but the two girls who do nothing but think about Julian just doesn’t work

Give Luna something to do! It’s nice having Jessica Alba on screen again

Critics Consensus 38%

An ambitious misfire, Gossip Girl stutters more than it struts, stranding a stacked cast in a sumptuous sea of rudderless drama.

This show sucks.
