i appreciate that most people think the baby is chuck's but ive been wondering what would happen if a)it is actually louis' or b)blair lies and tells everyone that its louis' while chuck realises he could have been a father?
in the first case could it jolt blair into realising she secretly wanted it to be chuck's?
and in the second case, it could cause chuck to start feeling again? feeling bereft? and dan somehow figuring out the secret and bringing chair back together?

@ Alf: to be completely honest I must admit that in Serena's case there was a point where I was ok if she ended up with either Dan, Nate or Carter, in that order. After her words to Dan in 4x10 "Gaslit" I came to the conclusion that her feelings for Dan were the stronger ones but it is very difficult to be believe her sometimes, she's so fickle and she was definitely torned between Dan and Nate, a fact she was very much aware of when she made the eclairs and napoleons comparison to Blair in Paris and how she struggled with that decision during the first 4 episodes of season 4. The problem was like many storylines in this show, after a start where it was reasonably well carried it got convoluted, silly and was affected by the Juliet arc and what not, and at the end of the season it was picked up again for a nonsensical scene where she said she never picked between them after she in fact did so in 4x10 and at least Dan was informed back them of her decision.

@pty- I admire your loyalty and I do think it is good to maintain if one is a long time fan of a show- for me at least. And I don't mean just loyalty to the couples but the friendships, the individual characters and the the program itself. Then again I'm the type of person that likes to see a show down until the end.
However, I think it's definitely possible to like two ships at once. I personally have liked the Blair/Dan snarky, bickery frenemy interactions in the past but couldn't see anything remotely romantic from either side until this past episode. I haven't forgotten all the great moments between Chuck and Blair in the past (and I look forward to more in the future- romantic, platonic or something else entirely). I enjoy all the friendships on the show at this point so I think that can translate liking multiple romantic relationships too. Basically I think loyalty to a "ship" is great but when it starts to impede with a viewer's enjoyment of the show as whole- as it does for

Wow. Gossip Girl has managed to pull off two interesting episodes in a row. I hope they manage to keep it up. I'm hoping for a Dair connection too.
Also, anyone notice that Blair said (when pretending to speak for Dorota) that she has slept with "a few men"? A few is means more than two for me. I HOPE IT'S A DAIR BABY or at least a Louis baby! Screw Chuck!

I guess the criteria of whether change or not change ships varies from person to person. For me at least, loyalty is a big thing to me and I would feel that I'm not being loyal if I change ship. I liked them for a reason, I believed in that reason and once I made up my mind I also decided to stuck with them even if the ship sinks. But everybody has his own opinion about how things should be. And I also agreed that there are crazy shippers in all sides who are disrespectuful, just in the same way that are shippers who respect other people's opinions.
Before I forget, to Uncle Jackass: that was some analysis, you should be a recaper.
I do not agree that Chuck and Blair were all about sex. They were more than sex. Like someone said here, Chuck is not an ignorant person. The backgrounds of these kid academic records were not very clear in all the cases. It was left clear that Blair had the perfect record, and the graduation ceremony hinted visually that she, Dan and Nelly Yuk

The episode was good because there was a lot happening with everyone.
Serena’s movie storyline is over thank goodness. Unfortunately it means we will see more of Charlie/Ivy. Noooooooo. One thing I forgot to mention was, Ivy went undercover for Lily’s sister, and did what she was supposed to do. So I find it weird that with all the money she got, she still lived in that crappy apartment. She seemed like she was a professional at it, yet she was going to work as a waitress. And she and whoever that guy was seem very in love, but she dumped him like that. Kind of hard to believe anyone is that cold.
Nate and Diana are exactly like Marcus’ stepmom and him. At first he is the one trying to get the woman now the old woman wants him. She is clearly going to trap him like Katherine did. So cliché.
If Louis was able to stop the publishing of Dan’s article then shouldn’t he ask Louis once again to use his royal power and stop the publishing of the whole book? Since Chuck is too

If this is the last season for Gossip Girl then I think Blair's baby will be Dan's. They say opposites attract, and those two characters are real opposites -- in a good way, without the cruelty of the Blair/Chuck ones. Chuck will become like his late father, an unloved man. Nate and Serena will stumble on as the privileged, clueless offsprings of the rich A morality play on the "Upper East Side".

I like Louis and am rooting for him and Blair. He's very sweet and I'm hoping Chuck and Louis both continue to fight hard for Blair.

Thats ridiculous. How are we not allowed to change ships? Is there some kind of rule in the world of television melodrama that forces you to ship the same couple from the beginning till the end of a show? Again, Chuck and Blair had their moments but after a while one is allowed (and I say even justified) to change his heart for another couple. As a show develops, so do the characters which means that we might end up liking a couple more than another. As much as I loved Chuck and Blair, I can say that I'm a Dair shipper too!

I believe that when the show first aired, it expected Serena to be the leading lady. I think they thought she'd be the most popular character. It's obvious that since Season 1, Blair has become the main ingredient for GG. And rightfully so. Her character takes the cake. It's written well, it's played well. It's the most exciting to see. I hope that this never changes.

I am both a Chuck/Blair fan and a Dan/Blair fan. Yes it's possible. While I like the idea of Chair being end game, I definitely would love to see a relationship with Blair/Dan happen first. I also hope the baby is Chuck's and being that Dan is aware of Blair's whole situation, even if she has the baby, it's Chucks, I still see a relationship happening with Blair. Of course this is all wishful thinking on my part.
The whole Charlie storyline is pointless. It was what I personally found to be the least interesting part of the show last night. First of all, she could've gotten herself out of it a bit easier than she did and seriously, how did Serena not see that she was trying to get out of it.
I actually like the pot Nate better than the straight Nate. He has more personality this way. It makes me think of old GG.

I enjoyed this episode way more than the premier and the sole reason: Blair. I always say she makes GG. From scene one when Blair very nicely tells the doctor about Dorota's one night stand to her sick face every she saw food to her heartfelt confession to Dan in the end- she was BRILLIANT. I felt for her, laughed at her and ultimately was confused. She SO DESERVES this fairytale- GG always has made Blair suffer and I wish this time was different. She deserves a handsome devoted man... and I understand her issues with abortion as well. The implicit denial about paternity was well shown.
Moving on, Beatrice is really a formidable foe though her hooking up with the priest was kinda weird. I am hoping to see more of the royal family drama...Louis is really sweet. He just needs to develop some more defining characteristic. Now he is just a typical nice guy. I love this new Chuck- he isnt exactly new.. But he is so much more like season 1/2 Chuck that I enjoy his scenes. Please refrain f

I find it funny how some people say they were Chuck and Blair fans and now say they are in love with DB. I bet it's the same person. The fact that the ratings are dropping show DB can't carrry the show. People are not jumping ship,they are just stopping watching. I know a lot of people upset with the lack of CB and SB.

I swear, i was the biggest chuck and blair fan ever, but when boring Dan took her in his arms and told her, that she still got him, whatever happend, i must admit, that i fell in love with this couple.
Chuck and Blair, that was always hot chemistry and the picture of two peaople who couldn`t with or without, and i`m waiting since the 7th episode of the first season for a happy end. But now, i hate to say it. Thinks changed, slowly, but Dan and Blair, this is a real sweat romance. And if i could write it, i would put them both together on really epic way..
Dear writers, i hate you for making me fallin in love with them..

I'm really annoyed by people saying Chuck and Blair are done. Nobody knows right now which direction the show will go to make such judgements. Chuck behaving numb because of loosing Blair doesn't scream "over" to me. A possible child between doesn't scream over either. Realistically, the show is right to say Louis has more chances to be the father, but also realistically and in the grand scheme of the plot Chuck has more chances because it's unlikely they give the paternity to a guess star, unless the kid isn't going to be born at alk or both Louis and the kid will make guest appearances all the time.

GG writers should take a look at the ratings an realize that this show can't live without Chuck/Blair and Serena/Blair. I am sorry,Dan and Blair are cute as friends, but they can't carry the show emotionally. The W 18-34 demos dropped last episode
Waratah, if you missed it, Chuck quoted Shakespeare in the episode. It's not only Blair and Dan who are intelectual in the show. It was something they had in common but it doesn't mean it was something exclusive of DB. In s3 CB went to arts and plays together. Chuck can fill her intectual side too.
the only reason i watch GG now is Dair! Everything else is kinda boring..

I really think Steve Marsi is Mr Leigh Meeston. Why couldn't you come out with a more substantive role for Blake Lively. Is she just a wall flower to you? she is a feast on the eyes and I am pretty sure that GG seasons 1-3 is really has more Serena storylines than 4. This early, all GG5 focuses on Blair
