There’s literally a scene in this episode in which an entire gymnasium of students boo Julien after Gossip Girl posts something about her old tweets. Either way, everyone’s sudden obsession with this “scandal” - which is just a series of misunderstandings - seems very unusual.Īdditionally, I think the writers are confusing rabid stan culture with the behaviors of normal-ass Gen-Zers who have, like, schoolwork, and promposals to worry about. As I wrote earlier in the season, it’s hard to distinguish Julien as a queen bee compared to the other students at Constance Billard because no one seems to really care that she exists besides Gossip Girl (except in this episode when it’s revealed she has stans?). For one thing, the way this show portrays Julien’s fame is extremely confounding.

This week, the cancellation of Julien continues to make little sense or reflect how this situation would actually go down in real life.
