I decided to wait until this afternoon to post because I wanted to really take in the finale and let others have a chance to watch. I am curious what you all thought of the finale. Please comment away!

-I knew Kristen Bell would be making a cameo but her scene with Rachel Bilson was a great surprise! Too funny to see them reading the Blair and Serena roles
-Blair looked gorgeous in that wedding dress. I'm not sure what was going on with Chuck's suit. Yay or nay on the suit?
-I was honestly very disappointed with the Gossip Girl reveal. I thought there would be a twist or some kind of surprise (like Dan was covering for Jenny, it was a parent like Lily or Rufus). Last week we saw Dan writing the final chapter. I thought for a second, "hey are they saying Dan is Gossip Girl?" and then decided that would be 1. too obvious 2. too early (since that was the penultimate episode).
-I thought Gossip Girl would be someone truly on the inside. Not an outsider who got in or an outsider that wanted in. I think it's juicier if it was one of the UES's own.
-BUT I realize that it would have been much harder for the writers to wrap up the GG storyline IF it had been someone on the inside/someone else besides Dan. I thought it was a little odd that Dan wrote that book and then was also Gossip Girl.
-I just don't like Serena and didn't like that the show ended with her wedding. Blah.
-Poor Nate. He never gets a good love interest. At least he's successful I guess.
-Overall I did like the finale because
Gossip Girl has such a special place in my TV loving heart. I just wanted more in the Gossip Girl reveal (or no reveal at all, like in the books)
What did you think?!
