It's Summer, and that means it's time for my Five Questions series, where I reflect on the most recent seasons of some favorite shows and chat about their challenges for the future. Today, I'm posing some questions for Gossip Girl, which will start its third season in the Fall.
- How will college change things? Not that we ever really saw these characters in class that often (I suppose you could say Dan had the most teacher interaction — wink, wink). For now, they're kind of spread out (Serena's going to Brown, Blair and Dan are off to NYU, etc.) but I have a feeling the writers will figure out a way to get them all onto one campus again. In the meantime, I can't wait to see Georgina and Blair room together. That ought to be good.
- Who's Gossip Girl? We came very close to finding out the identity of Gossip Girl in the season's final episode (if only those Upper East Side teens had read geeksugar's tech tips, we definitely would have known). Do we ever need to find out? Will you be sad if you never do? And how exactly is Gossip Girl going to keep a watch on everyone in all their different colleges?
- What about Little J? With everyone off to college, who will be Jenny's new role model? Will she be the reigning queen bee from here on out? Is there enough time, space, and interest in each episode to follow Jenny through her final years in high school?
- Will Blair and Dan get together? OK, but seriously: Are there any pairings left to explore? Practically everyone has hooked up but those two.Well, and Serena and Chuck, but they're sort of related right now and that would be a little icky . . . kind of like that time Dan and Serena were almost step-siblings. Seriously, though, where can the romance go from here?
- Will mysterious family members finally make their entrance and destroy lives? Will we meet Serena's elusive father? The introduction of a paternal figure who is supposedly evil has a lot of potential . . . or could be a subplot rushed through in an episode or two and then forgotten (hey, remember Dan and Jenny's mom? She seemed nice). And what about that half-brother of Serena and Dan lurking out there? Will he stop his coffee-shop stalking and make his presence known?
I've got three more questions if you read more.

I'm excited for the new season. I am curious to see how they are going to have everyone interact since they are going to three different colleges. I'm super excited to see the bad Georgina back and rooming with Blair to boot!
I hope they do spend some time with Little J back in Constance. As much as she annoyed me with the whole dropping out of school time, she seems like she has her head on her shoulders.
I wouldn't mind at all not knowing who GG is. I like the mystery it adds to the show.
The only thing I don't like about the show is the super quick speed of some plot lines. I think some stories they could get more than one episode out of, but they keep moving on. Oh well.
When does it come back? September? Hurry up fall!
1Isn't their half brother enrolling at NYU too? Or did I mix up Georgina and the half brother. But I think I remember the half brother being in the last episodes so maybe I did mix them up. I obviously need to rewatch.
2I don't want to know who Gossip Girl is!
3Gossip Girl isn't a character, it feels more like a narrator. Keep it that way.
4Honestly, the last few episodes of season 2 got boring. I do hope that the writers put their creative minds together. I miss that I-can't-wait-for-the-next-episode feeling! Can you do a review on One Tree Hill too, or you don't watch that? Thanks!
5I don't think Serena will last at Brown. She'll come popping up in the NYU dorms within the first or second episode with some stupid reason for leaving.
6I'm really nervous about the new season...No show has ever successfully been able to go from high school to college and keep the stories interesting.
7Wow, these are great questions Buzz. They even made me laugh. Love it!
8obviously dan & serena's "new" brother will be doing vanessa.
9Good questions! I bet college won't be too different; they already did more hooking up, drinking and skipping class than a lot of coeds do. With everyone going to NYU nearby, I'm sure they'll find a way to tie in young siblings like J as well as the parents. Is Chuck going to college or is he just... Chuck Bass?
10Looking forward to series 3
