    Aww, that was beautiful. I almost teared up a little :)

    Let's be serious, the only people whining about Chuck being a murderer are people who hated him already. Bart was actively trying to kill him. He'd threatened to kill Blair. He'd killed at least two other people that we know about, and most likely more. He fell off the roof in the act of punching Chuck in the face. So explain to me, who in their right mind would attempt to save the life of someone who was trying to kill them? Someone lacking either a brain or a very strong sense of self-preservation, I guess.

    For the record, I actually do think Dan loves Serena. I think he's just a raging hypocrite. If Serena published an article about what a pathetic loser he is, and then was like "what, I just told the truth, I totes still love you though", how do you think he'd react to that?

    @Zoran lol, okay. So because Serena invited her ex to dinner- just to be friendly, which she made clear to Dan, and she even explicitly rejected Steven's advances during dinner- that means it's okay for Dan to publish an article insulting her by calling her "nothing" and an "empty shell"? The woman he supposedly loves? No. Just, no. I actually like Dan and Serena together, but your version of their relationship makes me incredibly sad for Serena, because *she deserves better than someone who would treat her like this*. The only way I want to see them together again after this is if Dan grovels at her feet.

    (Great points on Dan's whining about "their world", btw... so he thinks they're all terrible people, but he's mad that they don't accept him? lol, okay. You know, there actually are other people in NYC you can hang out with, Dan. Nobody's holding a gun to your head and making you be part of the UES.)

    5. Dan's final chapter is either about what a douche he is (as if anyone needs to be told that by now) or it's about Bart, which could be how they attempt to redeem him.
    6. No way, Chuck's not stupid enough to get on a plane when his dad is blowing up BI-owned transportation left and right. I think he'll fake his death to catch Bart in the act. Unfortunately, for it to seem real, I think he won't be able to let Blair in on the plan until afterwards... poor Blair :(

    3. Well, Nate can barely remember what he did in the previous episode, so him completely forgetting why he broke up with Sage in the first place is nothing new. And Blair and Chuck have always had their kinks- the most surprising/disappointing part of that scene is that they still have not had sex. Because, seriously? So I guess Dan wanting to be like Bart is the most surprising part, although I think he's probably playing them all. I suspect he'll somehow be involved in Bart's takedown.
    4. I honestly don't know how anyone can be Team Dan in this case. I get that he hates Blair and Chuck- and they feel the same way about him, so whatever- but what he did to Serena in this episode was just abhorrent. He told her he loved her, and then used her and stabbed her in the back. There's really no coming back from that. And it was fitting that the punch came from Nate, who he also stabbed in the back for absolutely no reason.

    1. Nate: "All he does is drink in bed alone and argue with Monkey"... because I can actually imagine that happening, haha. Actually, everything Chuck/Nate/Monkey-related in this episode was just gold. And two thumbs up to Chuck's Hot Tub Time Machine comment- he knew he had to reference a movie Nate had actually seen, so.
    Although the "will you go to war with me?" scene was perfect too.
    2. Like Steve said, you can't really compare any episodes from Seasons 5-6 to previous seasons... but all things considered, I think this was a worthy offering. Definitely the best episode of the season so far.

    Here's the thing- Dan feeling like a visitor on the UES was not Serena's doing. She did nothing to cause him to feel that way. Those are just his own insecurities, and it's ridiculous of him to blame them on everyone but himself. It was stupid when he freaked out about it in 2x03, and it's stupid now. Of all the characters, I actually think Dan still has the most growing up to do- which is odd, given that he probably started out light years ahead of the rest of them in the pilot.

    @roventica Seriously? How on earth can you describe what Dan did as "standing up for himself"? What did Nate ever do to him? Or Serena, for that matter? There's absolutely no excuse for how he used and humiliated Serena in this episode. And the worst part is, Dan isn't even sorry- he's still acting like he's in the right! Like if he insults the rest of them enough, tries to drag them down to his level, then it makes it okay for him to be a total douche. Ugh.

    You know, even though we all knew this was coming, it still doesn't feel quite real yet? It's entirely possible that when I see Blair and Chuck officially tie the knot on my TV screen, I'll turn into a blubbering pile of feelings.

    But still, Imma need to see the wedding night. Just saying.

    Also, this episode was blessedly free of Steven and Sage. If only they were actually staying gone... (sighs).

    Gotta admit, though, my favorite part was all the times it kicked Dair squarely in the nuts.

    I actually did like the Dan/Serena scenes (despite the fact that Dan seems to be escaping relatively unscathed from his overwhelming douchebaggery), and Blair/Eleanor was wonderful as always. And I really enjoy Blair interacting with Nelly was well. Chuck, unfortunately, got bogged down in the slowest-moving storyline ever, and throwing Rufus/Ivy into the mix is hardly going to help matters.

    Anyway, I did enjoy it, for a Chair-less episode (the last one, thank God), but Chuck's storyline is such a waste. I'd rather see him and Nate sit around getting high and playing Halo, rather than trying to solve the slowest-moving mystery in the history of TV, for reasons that still are not clear to me.

    7. I think Dan/Serena will, and I think they should, but only after a whole lot of things are aired out (and it's quite obvious that Dan has put his Blair-obsession behind him). Nobody deserves to be somebody's second choice, least of all Serena, who spent most of last season alone and miserable because of Dan and Blair.

    But at the end of the day, I like Dan better when he's with Serena, and I think rediscovering his feelings for her will snap him out of this bitter butthurt-spiral he seems to be stuck in. And Serena clearly still loves him, and I want Serena to be happy. So Dan/Serena it is.

    5. Have we seen the last of the Spences? If only... (sighs). I don't actually mind Steven that much, but Sage is just ridiculous, and the two of them together are a complete waste of a storyline.

    6. Well, choosing Rufus would imply that I actually want him to be utilized more, so... I guess I'll go with Nate. I actually loved his scenes with Chuck and Serena at the beginning of the episode. He really shines when they actually give him an opportunity to interact with other mains.

    2. Most dynamic duo? I dunno, it's hard to give it to Blair/Serena, because they made up for all of five minutes before it all went to hell, and it's hard to give it to Blair and Dan because, no. I guess I'd have to say Dan/Georgina, because they're kind of creepy and hilarious and perfect together.

    3. Worst scheme team- clearly Blair and Sage. I don't know how Blair keeps being outwitted by a bratty 17-year-old, maybe all the sexual frustration is rotting her brain.

    4. Seriously, Georgina basically *invented* the bump-and-grab cell phone steal. No way would Sage have been able to pull one over on her.

    1. Best humorous quote actually goes to Nate: "Could the weirdness be that Steven hooked up with your mom in a dungeon when you were in grade school?" And Serena's like, psh, as if.... on this show, that barely even qualifies as weird.

    Best overall quote is a tie, between Blair's "there's no one better for me than you" to Chuck, which hopefully lays to rest all of the irrelevant crap about who the "better man" is, and Blair's "I'd rather be with no one than with you" to Dan, because I've been waiting to hear that for like a year and a half. And after how Dan's been acting since 5x24, it was so richly deserved.

    Oh, and I also loved Chuck's "they say good things come to those who do", but that could be because he basically whispered it against Blair's mouth and that... was hot.

    @j
    I actually thought the "I'd rather be with no one than with you" encapsulated Blair's attitude towards Dan perfectly. After all, she's not technically with Chuck right now, and she *still* doesn't want Dan, does she? She couldn't seem less interested in him if she tried. Sucks to be Dan, I guess.

    I am truly sorry that your ship sunk though- it couldn't have happened to a lovelier group of fans. If only there were some way to have seen this whole scenario coming, like, two years ago...

    @Erik
    Are you really comparing Serena dating Nate to Blair dating Dan? Because when Serena first came back in S1, she turned Nate away, telling him that her friendship with Blair came first. She didn't actually date him for another 2 and a half years, when Blair was totally fine with it- she had happily moved on with Chuck and no longer had any romantic feelings for Nate. Blair dated Dan knowing Serena was still in love with him. That's the difference.

    As far as the rest of your post goes, Serena did NOT ruin Blair's chances to get into Yale- in fact, she gave up her spot FOR Blair, and then Blair effed it up entirely on her own. Serena pushed her into a cake after Blair called her a prostitute, FYI. And what on earth did Serena do to threaten Blair's relationship with Eleanor? That was all Blair's insecurities. Seriously, are you just making this stuff up?

    I agree that it was the best episode so far this season, and I think it was a combination of a good writer, a good director, and things actually happening in the episode. Unfortunately, none of those things involved Chuck and Blair boning each other, but I'm trying to be patient on that front. Their almost-kiss-nuzzle-thing was still pretty hot on its own, but I just can't understand why their pact forbids sex. If anything, the lack of sex seems to be distracting them more than actual sex would....

    Also, all of the Blair/Chuck/Dan stuff was glorious. I got Blair forgetting Dan was even in the room the second Chuck walked in, Blair slapping Dan, Blair telling Dan "I'd rather be with no one than with you", and Blair reassuring Chuck that "there's no one better for me than you." And I didn't even get you anything, GGWriters.

    I don't think Dan's going to be repairing any bridges next episode. He'll just eff Blair over the same way he has everyone else, before falling back in love with Serena again.

    Hey, I didn't say it was going to make sense.

    But yeah, aside from some hilarious/adorable CB stuff- and the pissy DS scene, which I actually liked- all this time wasted on Steven/Sage/Rufus/Ivy/etc is a real snooze.

    So can we just fast forward to Chuck and Blair in a bubble bath with a bottle of champagne already?

    Of course Chuck and Blair are going to be together at the end, I don't know why anyone even doubts that. It was inevitable that they would have another obstacle on the way though... after all, they wouldn't be Chair without some angst, right?

    Gah, he's so adorable! Love his little suit and bowtie. They did a great job casting him, that's for sure. I hope we get to see the three of them interact as a family.

    Re: him being used as a younger Chuck for a flashback- he shares scenes with adult Chuck, so that wouldn't make any sense.

    @jenny Well, they filmed CB's reunion in 2x25 outside for the world to see. At a certain point, I think they care more about getting the right setting (and Central Park really is a perfect place) than people knowing the ending, especially when the ending was that obvious already. I mean, who really doubted that CB would end up married?
