@Where's Waldorf And that good thing being Chuck replaces Dan's manuscript with a plagiarized one after supposedly changing? Chuck isn't the better man at all no matter how much the writers try to portray this when they're constantly regressing his character. Chuck used to be interesting before the writers turned his character into a pining, brooding mess. His interactions with other characters are much better than the stupid back/forth crap with Blair.

@E unfair. she doesn't want Dan because she can't have him! At no point this season did they give any indication of that. She realized he was the only good guy she ever dated and she will always be connected to him. That's why she decided to start things up again. The last romantic Derena thing was Dan saying they should wait because he felt the next time they got together would be the last and their lives should be totally sorted out before that happens. In Season 4.
Its kind of like what Blair said to Chuck in episode 14 of this season. These lines make me feel that Chair and Derena are endgame, because even the characters themselves realize the power of timing and fate in their relationships.

@Chiara Gossip Girl deserves to be canceled this season. Another season means more excuses and more terrible writing.
@cit and @epic Nice to see the crazies up and about.
@Where's Waldorf That's what you want in a relationship, not everyone is the same, different people want different things. Joey/Rachel didn't hang out together as friends, they had a 1 night stand in Barbados and Ross/Rachel were actually written better, so when they got together it was actually believable and no characters had to be sacrificed to bring them together. Blair was already pathetic when she was whining and hopping back/forth between Chuck/Louis and she chose to be in a loveless marriage.
@Meep Depends on your definition of normal.

Now in the beginning of season 5, she wanted to find herself; she wanted to be a better person. We caught a glimpse of refreshing, strong Serena in the beginning of season 5, then suddenly, she is in love with Dan again and Dan doesn't even care about her. All because the writers can't write a proper build up for a relationship without putting a triangle/quadrangle in it. I hope Serena can get over it soon and tries to be what she wants to be in the beginning of season 5 because I love her so much back then.

February 21st, 2012 9:52 AM
Can Serena just stop pining for Dan? It's making me sick. She doesn't even realize she loves him before she finds out Dan is totally over her. WOW, TRUE LOVE THERE. I really think that the reason why Serena suddenly falls~ back in love with Dan is because the writers decide they have to go for a Dair arc. They have to add more obstacles for Dair. Serena happened to be a good tool. In the beginning of season four, she didn't even care about Dan/Vanessa. She only showed a bit of jealousy with Nate/Juliet (parallel to Blair to Chuck/Eva). Then the writers have to start doing a Dair arc so they pull out Derena again. She wanted to kiss Dan in the ball? Really? LOL.

I don't know, I kind of think there is more to Blair loving Chuck than his expansive lifestyle. If that were true then she would just marry any rich guy.
But I do think Chair can't be together right away, otherwise there won't be much scandal once they're together. I just want to see them have sex again though. I'm finding Dair's sexual chemistry rather lackluster. There is a chance they could be together in the future. Chuck could uncover some secrets with the help of Jack Bass while Blair sorts her life out and goes back to wanting to become a powerful woman. There's no reason why they can't be together while that happens?

@Ace That would be interesting, it would be better than the stupid Louis storylines. The writers had to ruin Blair to prop up Chuck, multiple character assassinations had to happen so they can try and make Chuck look good. The problem is that they're terrible writers, they can't pull that stuff off properly, so it ends up being executed poorly.
@Matthew Georgina said it would affect everyone and the synopsis said that there would be a an unpredictable outcome, whatever that may be.
@Su, @Helene, @TFV168, @Nawty~Angel, and @jiannis Just drop the show and stop watching and encourage other people to do the same, you can just watch clips online that may be interesting to you instead.
@Simona Dan wasn't in a relationship with Serena, she came after him. Chuck screwed him over with the plagiarized manuscript, so much for that change. Gossip Girl has only gotten worse because of the terrible writing.

Okay so watching the promo Dan says you don't know what you've done so I'm assuming that would be in response to Blair finding out about the blast. I'm starting to think there's way more to the blast, cause the synopsis says when Chuck and Georgina try to reveal he sent the blast it has an unexpected response. So I'm thinking it's not the dealbreaker we thought it was! At least I hope not, don't crash Dan and Blair before it even gets the chance to develop!

(One of) the problem with Chair is that it's definitely not consistent other time...how many time will the writers launch obstacles between them and make them overcome without being absurd and ridiculous. And we all know that a settled down Chuck with Blair just doesn't fit with the show coz the only fascination for him that will remain is his penthouse and expansive lifestyle.
A lot of viewers are tired of this non-sense ...and need to explore the possibility of Blair developin her own self with someone else ...as Leighton Meester has this great quality of gettin chemistry with any male oin this show !
She has changes and evolved and she is tamed now by no one else than the sweet Lonely boy. This is cuteness otherload and there is a lot to develop on this way ! Blair going Dumbo ? I def wanna see that !

@dairfan The promo had Dan say "You don't know what you've done" and there's supposed to be some unexpected outcome, it might end in a cliffhanger since it's going to go on a break after the next episode.
@LuckyBastarda Blair was already like that during the whole Louis drama, which hopefully might end soon because they dragged it on far too long.

Yes I agree, I'm glad Dan sent the blast. It stopped Blair from marrying Louis. It also gives Chuck a better chance at being with Blair. I understand Chuck's anger only because Dan gets to hook up with Blair despite Chuck having to be the bigger man. Chuck Bass is an interesting character. When he is good he is strong and romantic but we're also waiting on the edge of our seats for his bad side to appear at any moment. When he's bad its sexy and entertaining, but he surprises us with a sudden good deed every now and then.
You can say that Blair should be in love with Dan "the good guy" all you want, but as an audience you can't help but love Chuck's interesting character and how well he melds into Blair's character for a relationship. The type of relationship that Chair is matches the type of show that Gossip Girl is perfectly: fantastical, controversial, and sexy.

One moment I thought was interesting was at the end with Dan and Blair. When he was heading home and she kissed him goodbye....if you notice she is playing with her wedding ring, practically taking it off. I wonder if this was intentional or just a thing Leighton was doing.
I hope that Dan comes clean on his own about the blast. And excuse me but if she's not able to forgive Dan for that, but she can forgive Chuck for selling her for a hotel...I don't know what to say about the GG writers. Yes, it was a very bad move on Dan's part....but it lead to something potentially good....that is getting Blair away from that tool Louis! No matter if she ends up with Chuck or Dan...this was a catalyst that helped. Chuck should somehow see this as well as being mad.
