    There is so much to say but I’m going to limit my comments to Bart. I was ok with bringing him back if he was going to be a source of happiness. It was stupid that he sat back and let Chuck go through all that crap but I was fine with his organized crime story. I am very mad that he’s been brought back just as a source of conflict. It’s great that Chuck and Jack will be teaming up again though. I just could not believe that Bart was still the same basshole. He held the Blair/hotel thing against Chuck when it was Jack who caused that! He praised Chuck for keeping the business up but then called him a child. Plenty of people have already said it but Bart has it all wrong. He thinks Chuck is weak and childish for loving other people but his actions are what have made him a man. I’m hoping those last 11 episodes involve Bart and Lily getting what’s coming to them and Chuck and Blair forging their own future while keeping their identities. and I hope the writers don’t think any of us have forgotten the whole runaround they gave us about Chuck’s parents. Why’d they even bring it up? Now I feel like I have to know!

    I liked the episode, but at the same time I have some issues with it. Like, the way they ended Dair was just so ef up that I wonder why did they bother with having that relationship in the first place; but then again, it’s sort of what happened with every minor pairing on the show (in my book, the only major couples are Serena/Dan and Chuck/Blair). The way they set up Lily going back to Bart makes me think that she’s going to have some sort of breakdown in the next season which will lead to her and Rufus getting back together (sidenote: why the ef did they have to mess with them?! is it because JS is gone and he was the champion of that relationship?). I have mix feelings about Serena going back to her old ways because on one had it’s been a recurring theme during the whole show, but on the other it could lead to the gang teaming up to save her, which is been used and abused in my opinion. I was ROFL when they show the GG video bc it looked like a PLL outtake (they even had the black hoodie!!!) but on the long run, unless they come up with a pretty good storyline surrounding who she is and why she’s going after the gang (like they did with Juliet), I don’t care about her being “unmAsked”. The one thing I really liked about the whole ep were the parallels with the first season, like the divorce party, the S making out with B’s current BF, everyone going back to the way they were at the pilot at the end of the ep, among others. The one sad part is that they probably evisioned Jenny eventually teaming up with Blair to run her mother’s company, but because TM is a b it just didn’t happen. Overall, a good set up episode, but not their greatest season finale. Can’t wait for the GG gals to tear this one apart !

    The fact that Dair didn’t get a break up scene was kind of weird.  I’m not even a fan of Dair as a romantic pairing and I felt jilted. And I totally feel like this season was a total write-off. If they tie together all the loose ends from this season, then maybe it can be salvaged but a good chunk of what happens this season just feel irrelevant now.
    Lily’s a fool and Serena’s… I’m done with her. I get where her pain is coming from, but she’s not in highschool anymore, though apparently she hasn’t grasped that yet.
    Tried to care about the Lola story line but I could care less. I don’t even really know what she was doing with Ivy but I don’t care about that either.
    Nate knows who GG is presumably and I hope he gets a decent story line. GG had man hands though :S
    Bart built up Chuck and then tore him down. I don’t agree with what he said about love and being a man but I think he had a point where he pointed out that Chuck had made some poor decisions where Blair was concerned. We all do that when we love someone but to take it all away, really Bart? You should be in jail to 
    be honest.
    Blair chose him though and I was ecstatic that he didn’t greet her with open arms. Sure they could be (are) endgame but Blair should really have to work for this, atleast for a little while. I was very satisfied with how they handled this “chair” stuff.
    Dan’s gonna write a book about the “real” UES and I just kept thinking that he was still friends with Nate, or am I wrong? And Chuck didn’t really do him wrong either. So… He’s gona write a book about a Blair and Serena?
    Added note, I was kind of happy for Blair when Mama Elanor gave her ye company. A bit dumb, but she gets to be a powerful woman like she always wanted to be. I just hope they don’t mess up this storyline too.

    Yeah, I was wondering that too. I thought I was the only one who didn’t really know who is parents were, like I missed something at some point. Gotta love the GG writers.
