I agree. The writing has been bad for awhile, but even in the previous seasons, the writers at least TRIED to give the characters growth or something original to do. Now, they aren't even trying.
(And, frankly, I can't blame any of the cast for phoning it in if this is what they are going to be given to this to work with. Only Leighton Meester seems invested in her storyline but she's also a hopeless Chair shipper. Every other member of the cast has come out circa seasons 3 or 4 to say that they are bored of GG. The most recent being Penn Badgley. And, you can tell they're bored while watching them onscreen! They don't bring any of the gravitas they had in seasons 1-2 to their acting!)
