After Desperate Housewives delivered the so-far best season finale of the year, I was sure that Gossip Girl would match it, if not beat it.
It was just okay.
Don't get me wrong. I LOVED Blair destroying Georgina, and I LOVED that she worked with Dan to do it. But that was really it.
The problem with this episode was that it seemed a bit contrived. Everything was tied up in a nice little bow, with no real drama to hook viewers for the next three months. Nothing was left up in the air; there was no WOW moment at all. Although the episode raised some questions (will Nate and Serena hook up? Dan and Vanessa?), there was really nothing worth talking about the next morning. It seemed like the writers were preparing for the show's cancellation, because that episode could've been a series finale.
In fact, they should've made the last episode the season finale. That episode would've been perfect, because the cliffhanger at the end would've kept people talking way into the summer.
To me, the season finale was too sugary and sweet for such a spicy show.
P.S.: Evidence the season finale was a disappointment: I actually want Georgina back (only a little bit!)
