My Dair was flawless as usual, if these 2 are not endgame I haven't understood a thing of love ! People say there is no passion between them, but you don't need to show passion in your relationship when it's all easy and secure and confortable. The "passion" between Chuck and Blair emerged from their obstacles and self destructive attitude.
I felt bad for Chuck with the whole Diana situation. She obviously has not an inch of mother instinct. At this point, I'm waiting for the Bart return and the whole twisted fam will come to a peak.
If Blair has now found peace and happiness, Serena is out of control and I don't know how I feel about it. They definitely inverted the roles in the scheming stuff !

what betrayal of Chuck did Lola do?
I think Chuck should (and hopefully will) be extremely grateful for what she did because now he finally knows the truth! I, in Chuck's place would be grateful to her!
Serena is a major b*tch these days!
Lola is an innocent girl who doesn't understand their f*ucked up world and she didn't only ruin her career but also her relationship!

I find it funny that people think Dair is boring. Did you expect it to be like Chair? Dan and Chuck are completely different and their dynamic with Blair is completely different. If the writers had tried to make Dair like Chair they would have got a severe kicking from fans and that just wouldn't have worked at all. I like both ships for entirely different reasons - the drama of Chair and the touching realism of Dair. I like that the writers are showing something other than a dysfunctional relationship on this show. I agree that Blair lost her way somewhat with the Louis debacle but I think she'll find herself again. Dan is also a great foil for her - he doesn't compete with her but I think brings out all aspects of her character, including the intellectual side which I really enjoy.

You're wrong. Blair did not choose Chuck at the wedding because she was afraid that their relationship will fail. Blair wants to be with Chuck, but fears that if she is with him that their relationship will fail. And she does not want that happen, and therefore started the line of least resistance, and now she is with Dan. The same is the case with Dan. Everyone have forgotten that in season four Dan and Serena are agreed to try once again to be together. If they fail that, then to give up of their relationship. Yet they added that they must both be ready when they try to reconcile. Dan is also afraid to try to reconcile with Serena, because if it fails it is the end to them. And he does not want that. So he choose the line of least resistance and he is now with Blair.

I agree with you that maybe we dident see that she knew...
But of course she would find out... Everyone reads gossip girl, and to see that blast that lola did with out even reaching out to ask if chuck was okay... was not good... I mean she could even had brought Dan along, called him, texted him something??? To be there for him at least as a friend... chuck and blair has this 5 season long history... And it cant be just thrown away like that!!!
aND SORRY TO SAY IT BUT DAIR IS JUST SO,SO,SO BOOOOOOOOORING TO WATCH.....
NO PASSION BETWEEN THEM AT ALL....

You are right. I agree with you about Serena. It is true that to her only remained to be GG. And there will be an even greater test when she learns that her father William was also the father of Charlotte her cousin. It will probably happen at the end of the season. The test will be important for her because it will determine her destiny. Then she will need a shoulder to rely on and the question is who will then be with her - Dan or Nate? If no one is beside it can easily happen that Serena all the way cross to the dark side, and return to her life before she met Dan! That would be the biggest mistake of the producers, because it would kill the character of Serena.

@Jenna Yes, change is inevitable since they are young but what some, including me, is trying to say is don't change the good qualities that these characters already possess but instead change the bad qualities and try to resolve their issues instead of recycling them. because honestly, the producers don't resolve anything they just sweep it under the rag and then try to bring it back when they run out of ideas or stories to tell.

I loved Serena's performance in this episode. It was really heartbreaking to see her admit to Lola about Gossip Girl being all she has!!! Her storyline is indeed becoming intriguing.

What everyonse seems to be forgetting about Blair and the characters' personalities and dreams is that they are still evolving. I mean the characters are actually quite young: so what if blair no longer wants to be Queen of the world?! She's finding her footing in areas she's previously overlooked and ended badly (Nate, Chuck, Louis). So undoubtedly the characters will have changed from high school because everyone does. The drama in GG makes us forget this at times because it can be so immature, funny and conspiratorial then later like a sexy, affair-laden telenovela.

@Dina i don't think blair knew what happened because after she got back in the loft she was confused as to why all her guests are leaving. but then again it was a gg blast maybe she saw it but didn't bother.afterall, she's with dan now and i think if she went to look for chuck that will be a disrespect towards dan. but don't get me wrong because i'm a chair shipper.
Dina
April 17th, 2012 5:39 AM
The episode was not bad, but i am still a strong player for chuck and blair to be togheter... I dont know about you????
But i was cind of hoping that blair would go and at least see if chuck was okay?
She is becoming a bit to selfish i think...
Chuck has done everything for here... loved here, been there for here throug thick and thin!!! and at the last episode chuck even payed for here dawery, so she coukd be free to love ho ever she wanted...
So for blair not to even go to chuck, and to see if hi was okay, after finding out that Diana was his mother....
Was a low blow from Blair..... Dair is not everything... Dont forget the pepole ho really loves you...

April 17th, 2012 5:36 AM
now i get why the producers keep saying that the finale will be a huge turning point for serena. in this episode she admit that GG is the only thing she has left. because really if all the things she's so used to are gone and being an it girl is also gone then who she is? i thought back then when she found her dad and last year after the townie episode that she'll start finding her self. but this season made it worst. she actually lost her self more. she has no one to confide her problems with since blair is so busy with her marriage and now dan, nate is busy being nate, her mom is busy fighting ivy, chuck has mommy issues. at least when blair has problems she can confide with dorota but serena is all alone. she has to figure it out herself and that something that she's no very good at. that's why i wish being GG 3.0 for awhile will make her find herself.

@niks4u
Serena has enough intelligence to deal with the role of GG. But Serena was left alone to struggle with the hardships that are close on her during the season 5 - loss of job, loss of CC, her best friend stole the love of her life. Serena was out of whom to rely. In the past she relied on Blair, and later to the love of her life - Dan. The truth is that Serena is always easy to get used that getting everything in her life, but this is not just her characteristics but all the UES. Now has to fight not only for herself but for her family too at risk of a cheater - Ivy. You're wrong when you compare Serena and Sabrina. In this season, Serena's loyal to love of her life - Dan. As you and I know she was in this season alone without a boyfriend, so do not look like Sabrina. But since you are a fan of Dan and Blair, I thought you'd say such a nonsense!

Finally! A GG episode with a mix btw drama, love, friendship, family ... It's not like the old times, but it was good!
I'm glad that the writers don"t wait to tell us that chuck's mommy is Diane. But I'm not so sure about the other big revelation from her.
Serena, like someone said, is the worst GG ever. But I hope this storyline continue and that she's going to be more bitchy!
I'm a Dair shipper, but I'm glad that in that episode, they were in the backgrounds of the storyline. Just an happy couple with difficulties to handle.
I love Ed Westwick acting, even if the Mother's stuff is kind of repeatiting, but he's a really truly good actors.
I'm just shocked by the comments who said that GG has to stopped, or have a short 6 season. Even if the show is not as great as season 1 and 2, I don't want it to end. I don't think that they destroy characters, they changed, even if I don't agree with a lots of stuffs. I really hoped that season 6 will be complete!

@db
Yes you're right. Blair emphasizes from the beginning that she wants to become successful, independent woman. She has taken the role model for strong, independent women of the past. But now in season 5 she does not in overall. Her relationship with Dan does not help that to happened. I think Eleanor is best described his daughter when she said - The Blair aims to achieve impossible goals! In addition, I think the producers are now mixed up characters. Serena is now what it was Blair. And Blair is now what it was Serena. But both of are copies of the originals.

@niks4u i think serena not having the depth and intelligence is overrated. i mean, she makes dumb mistakes but i don't think she's dumb. she may not have the same intellectual capacity like blair, but i think what the writers is trying to show us is that serena is just not trying hard enough. the issue with serena has always been she don't know how to work for something if it doesn't fall in her lap. she just doesn't try hard enough because she's so used to things ending up her way always. but this season the writers are now showing us serena's world falling apart and how she's coping with it. but they're not showing us how she should cope with it. and that is where right character development should come in.

dair is the only couple now that is entertaining, fun, cute, lovely, adairable, and most all of, that makes sense.
i love how they can be open to each other, can talk to each other and can discuss their problems, find solutions and work together. they are truly a team.
i used to love chair, but it's broken beyond repair now. i'd love to see chair as friends till the end, though.
long live dair! and thank you, safran, writers & co!

April 17th, 2012 4:47 AM
@Zoran i agree with you. people are saying that the characters are destroyed because the good characteristics that endeared them to us, fans, has been totally thrown out of the window. For example Blair, the blair we love is an independent, strong-minded and a hard worker even if she is privileged. remember in season 2 finale gossip girl called her weakling and she didn't took it well because she's not. but this season, yes the writers did develop something but it's not to further strengthen blair's good qualities, instead she became the weakling she refused to be before. her dream was to become a powerful woman she wanted to carve out her own identity so she will not be some girl who stood beside a powerful man. but what end up happening is that she became exactly that girl when she married louis. and the writers is who to blame for that.
I am all for dark turns by characters, but this whole bad S is too awful simply because Serena simply does not have the depth or intelligence to pull it off. Her fans may not like it, but Serena's depiction as Sabrina from Inside was more of a GG fact than a GG fiction. Add to that the inability of GG writers to write dark characters after S2 doesn't help at all. This whole drama has been like watching a WWE face turn heel randomly and plainly sucking at it.
