chuck and louis talking to the same psychiatrist is not a stretch at all, from what i gathered the only reason he called her was because he saw chuck coming from her office or with her or whatever on gossip girl.

I am so proud of the progress Chuck is making and I REALLY hope the therapist and Louis don't derail it!
As for Derena, I have to agree that it's all about whether the writers nurture that relationship or not. I could easily fall back in love with them, but I need to SEE Dan fall for her again onscreen. And for better reasons this time than the fact that she's a beautiful damsel in distress.

"We all want Chair to be the endgame couple"
Not really. Dair has a great fanbase too, if you haven't noticed. Just because we know Chair is endgame doesn't mean we all want Chair to be endgame.
I'm resigned for a Chair endgame because the writers will most likely listen to Chair fans after having given false hope to Dair fans. That doesn't mean I actually want them as endgame, in fact I'm far from it.
Dair won't have time to be explored if things continue to develop that way and if this season is the last, I agree with you.
If there is a sixth season however, I would want to hear nothing but Dair from the writers because they owe it to the fans. Some have been shipping them since season 1. Some of us had no intention of coming back to Gossip Girl until we heard of Dair.

"I’m curious to know why Bart would have a file on himself if he was investigating the family."
THAT, my friends, is the most unbelievable factoid of the night.

This episode overall left me very confused and anxious to see what is to come next.
First off, even I found it annoying for Charlie’s sake that she had to try and get rid of Rufrus and Lily. Those two are seriously only good for getting in the way of other character’s storyline. That is so sad.
For some reason I like that Nate and Charlie are starting off as friends and it will clearly take more than 2 episodes before they hook up. That has always been the problem with Nate, so its nice to see part of him changing is becoming less of a whore. That doesn’t mean Charlie has won me over or that I want her to be here til the end.
So I never understood why Serena lied about the copy-write for the book if in the end, her boss is mad at her now. Serena really has been downgraded to second best compared to Blair now. Shouldn’t be a surprise, that’s bound to happen if we compare their acting skills to each other. I did thought her acting when she said Dan is the love of her life

I didn't think Louis and Chuck shared the same shrink, I thought Louis was stalking Chuck on Gossip Girl when Blair came in the room. I could rewatch to double check, but I foudn this episode far too boring to deal with even that amount of rewatch.
I'm not sure how I feel about a DS relationship at this point. Last year I was okay with it, despite my preference for Nate, but then there was boringBen and Dan's crush on Blair. It sort of killed them off more than Rufus and Lily marrying ever did. But I loved Serena finally being upfront with both Blair and Dan about what was bothering her all episode. I don't think she expected any sort of special reaction from it, aside from some understanding. (Of course, Dan's response didn't really warm the cockles but I still wanted to hug Serena for being so brave with her feelings.)
I'm amused that Lily, who wants to keep the files safe from Serena and Chuck-bank crackers extraordinaire, didn't bother to change the safe's combination from h

I already think Chuck is awesome! I like Chuck a lot, especially when he's being bad!
But nevertheless, I think round table is Chuck biased!
Since this episode was NOT even Chuck centric, I find it odd and annoying.

October 25th, 2011 8:05 PM
Why nobody is annoyed at Blair childlish behaviour? You really think it was mature of her to ask Serena to quit her job because her boss was being rude and to suggest go grab lunch? Some people are quick to critize Serena and say she hasn't really changed and she's still pretty much the same person that takes Dan for granted, but even if that is truth to a degree, they should also call Blair out on her behaviour. The top of the icing was when she decided to move to Monaco because according to her "everybody is moving on", just because Serena wasn't paying attention to her problem. Excuse you, Serena maybe had ulterior and not so good motives for her behaviour but even if she had been in a better mood what Blair was demanding was uncalled for.

Given that this is an opinion piece, the writers are more than allowed to state what their opinions are, which is apparently that they like Chuck. He's going to be mentioned more than any other character because there are 2 different questions that are directly or indirectly about him.

@S There was actually plenty of discussion about every main character on the show in this Round Table, with the possible exception of Nate. So your problem seems to be not that they're discussing Chuck too much, it's that they're actually doing so in a positive manner... and if that's the case, I have some bad news for you- I think he's going to be pretty awesome this season.

@jessa
If majority of round table comments were something to do with Dan and how great he is, or anyone else on the show for that matter- yes, i would think that was weird.
Chuck is mentioned twice as much as ANY other character on the show in the round table above.
Jessa
October 25th, 2011 7:36 PM
Are DB fans really mad the people from this round table are pro-CBand Chuck?
If they were fawning over Dan and DB I doubt they would call anyone ''biased''
Or only when DB is the one being''critically acclaimed'' bias is not an issue?
Are those people that also complain some other pro-CB/Chuck recaps were also ''biased'' going to call out the people that are pro-DB?
Anyways.
Great round table.
But Louis calling Chuck's therapist is obviously not just a coincidence, he probably is stalking Chuck and now will use his past actions against him.

October 25th, 2011 7:34 PM
Errr....saying that the Chuck table is biased towards Chuck is NOT saying why are they not discussing Dair!
Like someone here said- there are a lot of characters on this show, so why are they mostly fawning over Chuck?
This is NOT Dair related. Kapish?!

Favourite quote: Louis Mom when she said that the last thing this family needs is another bas(s)tard.... Excuse me dear writers....was this pun intended? :D
Overused? Ivi of course...I admit I like her better than Charlie but still...she annoys me! But so does Diana...yes the last scene was weird and I'm curious about it but I'm sick of hearing her talk. I can't stand this accent!
Underused...well of course I want to see more of Cyrus as anyone else too...but to be honest I thought Elenore stole his spotlights today! She was amazing and my eyes got wet during her talk with Blair!
Somehow I like this therapist. Which is weird because usually I don't like ANY women interacting with Chuck (except Blair of course^^) but I liked her from the very beginning and the way she spoke to Chuck was brutal but the right thing to do! When he finally called I had tears in my eyes again!
But Louis calling this woman? Totally far fetched! Do they have a history together? Since he once said he
The royals need to go. They took up so much screentime and they are so boring. This storyline is painful #SaveBlairWaldorf
I love what they are doing with Chuck right now. I am enjoying seeing him realize how he needs to make changes and I am waiting for him to realize he needs his Queen B beside him.

Regarding the file on Bart, I could very well be wrong (since I don't usually rewatch) but I remember Lily having Bart investigated after she found the files on her and the kids, Isn't that where the info about the fire etc. came out? If so I imagine after Bart died, Lily just threw them all in the safe and didn't really think about it anymore.

Why the same therapist works with Chuck and Louis? BECAUSE Chuck was spotted in her place on gossip girl and Louis saw it so decided to call her. Thats why. They should show it more obviously thou.
Finally Louis has a personality, cant wait to see it. Twist with Bart and Diana is interesting i cant wait. Nate is so handsome, why he is not more useful? :(

Word @Dan F Scott Fitzjackass.
Some of these Dair shippers get so butthurt anytime Dair isn't the topic of conversation. Here's a newsflash for you guys. Gossip Girl is about more than just Dair. There are tons of other characters on it. It was a big episode for Derena, Blair and the royals and Chuck's redemption. Why would the roundtable be all about Dair?
Dan F. Scott Fitzjackass
October 25th, 2011 7:05 PM
First of all: I love Duck but Humpass sounds so much more delicious. What's a fangirl gotta do to make that portmanteau catch on?
"Welcome to having a personality" is so true! The moment Chuck decides to clean up his act and get professional help is the moment Louis decides to scheme.
The royals are so overused, I feel tired remembering what I watched this week.
I find it a little weird that people are complaining about a lack of Dair shippers in the roundtable when I saw a couple of lines acknowledging how much they enjoy and even ship Dair. Did you want people to still fawn over their made-up kiss last week?

Well spotted and you even provided evidence.
This Chuck table is getting sloppy. First, thinking Blair never opened the paternity envelope and now thinking Louis and Chuck calling the same therapist is a coincidence.
They are all too blinded by Ed's dazzling looks to be able to actually watch whats happening on the show.

Serena: Congratulations, you've officially joined the dark side.
