O.M.G. that's all I gotta say. I CANNOT wait until the next episode! Gossip Girl is once again at it's finest. I love that Chuck' first reaction was to turn to Blair! Hoepfully he will learn not to take her for granted. I hope that Dan sparks some jealous in him, he needs to work for Blair! But I REALLY hope Blair kissing Dan makes her realize she's truly in love with Chuck. I'm an ardent Chair fan forever and always. As for Lily and the whole jail thing, it's getting intense! 6 weeks... I'm going to die!

Thank you, writers, for redeeming Gossip Girl. Who could have thought that Dan and Blair would save this sinking ship?
Coming from a former Chair shipper, I think it's refreshing to see Blair genuinely happy without having to play any games. I apologize, but towards the end of their relationship, Chuck was just downright horrible to her. I know the promo took it out of context, but the moment when Chuck said something along the lines of, "I found out who she kissed," I couldn't help but get angry. I sincerely hope he's not going to get unreasonably angry with Dan and Blair when he's been going around falling in love with the ever-so-"sacred" Raina and such. Apart from that, I'm looking forward to some decent development for Chuck's character, but I don't want him with Blair anymore. I think it's laughable to believe that Chair is so "epic" after all of the crap that Chuck has done and said to Blair. It's time for Blair to be with someone who genuinely cares for her well-being.

Liked it. Like it a LOT.
Thank God, GG. Way to get back on your feet. The new Dan/Blair dynamic is excellent and I would have never guessed in a million years that I'd be rooting for a Dair hookup. Before I would have been like gross, no way in hell, Chair until cancellation do us part. Now I'm turning into a hardcore Dair shipper. How does that even happen?!?
I love April 18th's trailer though. "I found out Dan and Blair kissed." Oh my GOD! Not a kiss! ANYTHING BUT A KISS!!! Then he proceeds to take his limo to Brooklyn to confront Dan Humphrey...? How am I supposed to wait a whole month and a half for this stuff?!?!?

I really hope I'm not jinxing anything, but it feels like Gossip Girl's got it's groove back. I've missed the suspense in episodes, the storylines that make us go OMG. And I feel like it's definitely come back this season.
The Dair relationship was hilarious to watch and I'm so excited to see if they hook up. For the first time though, I was actually interested in the whole Lily affadavit affair. I'm glad she confessed so that everybody can move forward, and as much as I hate Vanessa, what little screen time she had was actually useful, so I didn't mind her returen too much.
The revelation about Raina's mother was unexpected, though that might just be because I was expecting the worst (I thought that she was Russell's ex or Chuck's mom-it's the sort of thing I've grown to expect from this show) and watching Chuck's BSOD was heartbreaking.
The ardent Chair fan in me loved that he immediately thought to find Blair, and I do wish she could comfort him like always, though I hope

OMG...things are gonna get really complicated now...two men fighting over Blair!!?? Awesome episode, but making the kiss a cliff-hanger? NO FAIR! Never seen an episode end in the middle of a kiss...Oh Gawwdd! Can't it be Monday again, right now??? Can't wait to see Chuck barging in on the Dan-Blair make-out scene, and waking up to the fact that he loves her, and loves her bad!!!! As for Serena, she may as well end-up feeling that Dan is truly the one for her!! Lol, nice turn of events!! Thanx GG, XOXO

i think everyone is underestimating the lily storyline...seriously. she could potentially be up for some serious jail time, hopefully the writers make sure that doesn't happen though. the UES already has its convicted parent (ehem..captain archibald, anyone?). and thorpe lied, orange is NOT lily's color at all.
dan and blair were okay, but it was DOROTA who brought the lolz this episode.
what happened to damian coming to thorpe to turn in lily because of ben? honestly, the writers need to tie up all these strings! i did appreciate them coming back to the bart bass plot line (which, i might add, went unexplored in season 2), but it made me sad to see chuck doubtful of himself and his father once again.
raina...go back to chicago with your dad, nate and the UES do NOT need you.
im glad chuck realized he needs blair, but im more glad that blair now has her share of options now- make him work for it! with the unavoidable spoilers of prince louis coming back to town and the obv

OMG! I don't know what to say... I have mixed feelings :S
I know Chuck has been a jerk, selfish, cruel, mean and a lot of bad things to Blair but I do love Chuck, I found him vulnerable after all the Rusell Thorpe said to him even if I don't understand how easily Chuck believed on Rusell...whatever, I love his twisted mind and almost pretty sure all the Raina thing was a fake to save Bass Inc.
But, I like how Dan turns Blair into like a little girl, Dan brings a fun side of her, plus Dan is cute, tender and lovely but no fireworks... it kind of reminds me like Nate and Blair.
AHHHH!
I want the kiss at this episode and spoiler kiss from next only lets Blair find out that Chuck is her only true love but this kiss makes Chuck wake and fight for her...
I don't know what to believe, I'm sure know that writers plays with us on all this spoilers, whatever is going to happen, I want Chuck and Blair together again :)
A part of me found the Dair thing a kind of gross... Chuck slept w
Solid episode! I definitely can't wait for April 18th!

This episode was excellent. Considering how skeptical about this whole Dair business, the story line is being handled excellently. I can't wait to see what happens next. It's going to be AWKWARD when Serena and Chuck walk in on them.

Great episode. I'm disappointed that Dan and Blair could be over before they even started. They honestly had great potential, but this episode and the promo seemed like it was the ending of their friendship, or even the possibility of a relationship between them beginning.

DAIR!!!!!! OMG!!!! I am in love with them I think this is the most interesting paring they have ever come up with! The funniest thing is I never in a million years would have put these two together. I mean like in my head I was like " I know for a fact that the one couple that will never be together are Dan and Blair. I mean that would just be weird?" but now I can't stop thinking about how bad I want them to be together. Thank you Gossip Girl writers for making me excited to watch this show once again and please don't stop DAIR from being together.

I admit that the whole Dan and Blair thing is cute...for now, especially if it make Chuck suffer. I mean, I really want Chuck and Blair together, but I do hate how much he takes her for granted, and how she's always just expected to be there for him. I will continue to ship "Chair," however. Dan and Blair are cute. Chuck and Blair are epic.

Although although I knew it. Throughout the season when Dan and Blair were hanging out, they felt like they were just friends. But it really is the keeping things secret that is questionable. Not just because of the social et ceteras, but Blair has matured beyond her season 1 days. I just hope that this has a better outcome than just a test kiss. It would be too cruel to us Dair fans.

DAIR. That.is.all. Penn and Leighton are electric. If TPTB know what's good for this show, they will stick with Dan and Blair.

My only complaint is that they've done nothing to explain Chuck's inexplicably disappearing feelings for Raina. Was it all an act to get Bass Industries back? If so, the writers needs to make that clear. Otherwise, it just looks ridiculous. Sure, he was annoyed, but, in the grand scheme, he barely batted an eyelash about Nate hooking up with a woman who was "sacred" to him last week. Are we supposed to pretend that little speech never happened? Ugh. Fine. I'd just as soon as pretend that anyway.
Other than that rather large plot hole, I really liked tonight's episode. LOVE Chuck finally remembering that Blair is the only one who really understands him. And I surprised myself by really loving the Dan and Blair interactions. Can't wait for the fall-out from their kiss. Let's hope Chuck finally, finally hears the wake up call and finds a way to fight for the woman he loves.

I LOVE DAIR. They're JUST RIGHT. A real slow-paced-with-awkward-actions relationship! Oh my god my heart has never been this GG happy.
OMG the promo is killing me inside!!! I can't wait for chuck to fight back! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for Louis to come back and bite him in the ass too! Whooo!

OMG! They are trying to kill me!!! I LOVE Dan/Blair together!!! They are amazing!! How am I going to be able to wait 6 weeks for the new episode--which looks amazing!! I love how Penn and Leighton are with each other! They actually look like they go togehter unlike some people who have been together in the past. Anyways, LOVING the Blair/Dan! I hope it goes on for a while!

Loved the Dan and Blair kiss, it was really well done, both sweet and funny at the same time. I really like them together and don't want her with Chuck anymore. He doesn't deserve her, and isn't really that much of a likable character. I love Blair, she carries the show. I think Dan is a great guy and he's ADORABLE!

This was the episode I will love to hate - AND hate to love. I'm no DAIR fan, but kudos to the writers for actually making it feel plausible and realistic - and for finding a way to keep CHAIR apart without making them angry with each other...
- LOVE Dan kicking V to the curb - he's stuck in UES World but he's finally owning it!
- LOVE Raina's character... a girl with Chuck's libido and savvy and Nate's heart - bravo writers!
- LOVE Lilly's plotline... it's about time the adults become more than windowdressing to the kids
- LOVE Ben's "multiple personality" thing... this guy is scary good at being scary bad!
Nothing negative to say here, even if I absolutely do NOT want to see Dan and Blair in an actual relationship. They are a great foil for each other, but ewwww. And as plausible as a kiss may be, a relationship? uh, no. But c'est la vie... Chair is endgame, so nothing else really bothers me :)

Blair is growing up. She needs someone who uses their intellect for good and Dan is a wonderful person.
Don't get me wrong, I love Chuck, but he makes rash decisions. He left B hanging in Tuscany. It took two years to say I love you. Then he played her for a hotel. He slept with Jenny. He was head over heels for Eva, then Raina. The list goes on and on. He just needs to learn that he cannot take B for granted.
Although Dan is from "Brooklyn", his intellects matches Blair's. Like he said on Season 1, aren't we taking this class warfare a little too far? For crying out loud, I'm from Brooklyn! >_
Serena: Congratulations, you've officially joined the dark side.
