I teared up a little during Chair's goodbye but only because it felt like they were really over and even though I WANT them to be over it was still a little sad. God, I hope they are over.
GOSSIPLOVER, I think it might be Serena's also. Does anyone remember which trash can it was in? I thought it was actually in Blair's room but was it in the bathroom?
I read all the script spoilers in various forums so I knew exactly what was going to happen, maybe for that reason I did not find anything devastating. I enjoyed it more than I expected, it was much better than the last episode. I don't care about Chair that much anymore so it didn't break my heart to see them end for now, but I was disappointed that Blair cheated on Louis. After seeing the Chair goodbye I'm not so hung up on the Chair sex, it felt like a goodbye. And while I would prefer Blair didn't need Chuck to "let (her) go" I felt they were both convinced they weren't right together. Even though Chair in chairs might be foreshadowing their future, it felt like tonight they were really saying goodbye and that made me happy. If she had to make a horrible horrible mistake to move on, then I guess that's life and let's face it GG is all about horrible horrible mistakes. But we'll see if they just end up right back where they were in season 5.
I'm not convinced the pregnancy test is Blair's. I think it could be Serena's (maybe from Ben?). Blair was too light and airy, but Serena seemed pensive and sad and that might have been why she left for her grandmothers.
Dan, wow, I love the Inside book storyline and can't wait to see where it goes. I don't think it really fits with the past 5 years and it's going to change his character a lot but I'm still excited to see how this plays out with Blair since she's the one he portrays well in it. I love the thought of Dan and Eric in the Hamptons!!
Blair going off with the prince... how NOT romantic and I actually love Louis. It was just all so very un-romantic and un-exciting, there are definitely no fairy tales here. We all know it's going to be over soon after season 5 starts so I guess it doesn't matter. The finale did not leave me devastated or excited like previous finales. It was just the last in the season, nothing special.
It's misleading. It's an official pic that was obviously leaked on purpose. I'm sure it actually happens and they are happy there but they will not end up together in the finale. They go to great lengths to protect whether or not Chair stay together in a finale. princessbecks9 is right, no way would this have been released if they stay together.
LuckyBastarda, yeah I remember looking at my watch and seeing there was only 10 minutes left and thought 'wow i was so engrossed' but then realized I didn't actually think it was that exciting. It just moved fast but was not satisfying for me. Was there just too much going on? Suddenly Serena hated Charlie, suddenly Blair was all about saving Chuck. I guess in most episodes you can neglect some story lines but they had to get everything rolling since there's only one more left.
Oh no, I'm really surprised by how much I disliked this episode. It definitely moved fast so I guess it was exciting in that sense. I think I might really be over Chair even though I was all about them for years. Blair drops everything for Chuck, which is so odd because it really seemed like she had moved past him. How did she completely regress between last week and this week?
It's pretty obvious Chuck's behavior last episode was glossed over. Sad. She talks about how Louis wouldn't accept her if he knew the real her, obviously this is to lead into the idea that Chuck knows the real her and still loves her. Ugh. I'm happy Chair friends are probably happy, I wish I was there with you but I can't be. :-(
Obviously from my name I am already into Blouis. That's a good call, Round Table, about how we expected more from Serena. It was odd, her lack of a real reason to ruin Blair. Maybe later on she admits she can't stand it if someone else is the center of attention?
Yeah, when the characters or plot fail we can blame it on the writers... because the show is not real. Blaming it on bad writing is probably much more healthy than actually getting angry at fictional characters.
It did feel a bit too dark and depressing and not enough fun plotting. Chuck and Serena's scheming was really just to ruin Blair's chance for happiness and they are supposed to be the two people that care for her the most. Serena eventually came around when she realized how much Blair really cared for the prince but uh... why does that need to happen just to keep her from sabotaging her friend? She was definitely at one of her lowest points.
Chuck, oh Chuck. I'm not sure the writers can redeem you now. I'm sure they are looking forward to the challenge and I might not dislike you as much down the road.... but if Chair happens in the end part of me will never be able to get behind it.
Blair was surprisingly innocent tonight. She didn't even bring her wrath down on Serena even though she knew it was Serena trying to sabotage her. Happiness agrees with her!
My login name is CHAIRity and even I don't want Blair to end up with Chuck anymore. Yeah they have great chemistry and stuff but he's like the abusive boyfriend you can have hot sex with but never feel good about being with the next morning. The writers have sort of ruined Chuck. Whenever he is with someone else Blair is the furthest thing from his mind, but Blair has never ever forgotten about him and never been in a real relationship with anyone else. They really haven't shown us that she likes Louis beyond his title and the idea of a fairy tale which is unfortunate because he's actually really good to her.
That quote from Nate is like the writer's saying 'yeah calm down, we know what will happen in the end.' It's too bad they've never given Blair a real chance away from Chuck. I'm pretty sure Chair is the endgame and I'm excited to see how they get there but part of me will always be disappointed Blair never really moved on.
