    Poor Dexter. Looks like you're going to be very unhappy with the end of this show for multiple reasons (I'm almost as confident in Dan/Serena as I am in Chuck/Blair- they don't have quite the passion or chemistry, but they're very sweet together, and they're constantly getting endgame-type moments).

    @Dexter

    I'm sorry, all I'm reading is blah blah blah punched a window in the vicinity of her face that's ABUSE blah blah blah deserves to die alone blah blah blah secretly bitter that they're so much more popular than the couple I like blah blah.

    Same sh*t, different day.

    @Paula Seriously, I'm baffled by why they're even reading an article that they're guaranteed to hate, based on the title. Why don't you just go to a Dair article and talk about how awesome they are? (although I know it's kind of difficult to do that without bashing all over Chuck, since it's pretty much your only argument)

    I agree with everything said here. At the end of the day, even with their rocky past and all the obstacles they have to overcome, there's just no denying their intense love and passion. It's always been them for each other, no other couple even comes close.

  5. Gossip Girl Round Table: "I Am Number Nine"

    @atm Or more likely, because the show has a nasty habit of turning into Complete Fail without CB interaction, and there's just too much passion and chemistry between them to ever be truly platonic. Last night was the best scene of the season so far- but if that promo is anything to go on, I might like a scene in the next episode even better :)

    (Likes sexy business scenes)

    (Doesn't care how pervy that makes me)

    @veronica55 Millions of other fans? LOL, there's barely a million people even watching this show.

    And you do realize the scene you're talking about was imaginary, right? Although, if you want to see an imaginary scene that's actually sexy, I'd go with Blair's dream in 2x08. Now THAT is some serious sexy business :)

  7. Gossip Girl Round Table: "I Am Number Nine"

    1. I agree that Chuck's apology was hands-down the best quote of the episode, but for humor value, I liked "you've done wonders for my trust issues". I also enjoyed the use of "Zuckerberg" as a verb.

    2. Chuck's growth has been my favorite storyline so far this season- and while he's far from done (well, none of them are) I think he's made enormous progress in the last 3 episodes, and turned a major corner tonight. And I really appreciate that they've kept his essential personality in the process, especially his snark and overall, err, perviness.

    3. I think Serena's gossip columnist days will be short-lived (basically as soon as something happens that she doesn't want to advertise, she'll be out of work) but it's nice to see her actually having some ambition for once.

    4. Blair's outfit in that scene made me want to give up on life. Seriously, there's no excuse for that. The hazing was kind of cute, but I'm not a big fan of childish, screechy Blair. Generally I prefer her in more devious, sexy scheming mode.

    And I'd prefer the wedding not happen at all, heh, but I heard Harold is coming back for it, and I'm kind of excited to see him.

    5. I think Dan's book will continue to be a storyline for the rest of the season, so I doubt it's over and done with in episode 6. I'm not sure how else they can milk it, though, since everyone's read it already, but I guess they could go ahead with turning it into a movie.

    6. Pretty hot, actually. I guess she has to fight her attraction to Nate because Diana knows her real identity, which is an interesting subplot.

    7. Prediction for next week? Chuck and Blair will kiss, and it will be glorious, and televisions everywhere will spontaneously combust from all the hotness. Can't wait.

  8. Gossip Girl Round Table: "I Am Number Nine"

    11/8/2011 5:47 PM
    Great round table, as usual. Happy Limoversary to Leigh and Christina as well! :)

    True story- when someone below mentioned being into the 5x04 Dair scene as much as the limo scene, it took me like a full minute to even remember what that scene was.

    So yeah... let's be serious. I get that people like it, but it's not even remotely comparable.

    Love the promo. Oh, CB kisses, how delicious you are.

  10. Gossip Girl Review: Chuck Bass, Out of Hell

    11/8/2011 3:21 PM
    Great recap, Steve! I loved how you described the CB scene, and I definitely agree that it was heartrending (but in a good way) to hear Chuck list off all of his failures. That apology was a long time coming, and the hint of tears in his eyes nearly did me in. My favorite part was actually the very end, when she said "is that all?" (just like in 2x25) and you could just see all the unspoken feelings between them on both of their faces... until he just said "yeah" with a little smile. Just brilliantly acted by both of them.

    And I thought it was telling that Blair said she chose Louis because "Chuck would never change" (not because she didn't love him)... and then, she sees evidence that Chuck is doing exactly that. I really love that they're taking the time to mature Chuck and rebuild CB.

    Loved the foreshadowing of Chuck getting down on one knee to leave the ring at HW. And hooray for the lucky hobo who finds it, heh.

    The final Blair/Louis confrontation struck me as extremely strange, though, because either he doesn't realize she cheated (perhaps he doesn't know how far along she is or understand... gestation...) or he's being oddly understanding about it. And Blair, for her part, didn't seem very remorseful either, she's actually laying his trust issues all on him- and let's be honest, he has very good reason not to trust her. I agree that his behavior with the therapist was appalling, though, and I also couldn't help laughing at Louis overselling the "pissed off face". Seriously, I wouldn't mind the fact that I can barely understand him, if I could actually buy his facial expressions, but so far he's pretty much failing at all aspects of acting.

    I did enjoy the Dan/Serena interactions, and her showing how much she genuinely cares about him and making some sacrifices on his behalf. Dan, of course, immediately got all judgy and assumed the worst of her, but I have a feeling that relationship is far from over.

    Oh, and I appreciated your Austin Powers reference, heh. International Woman of Mystery indeed. I'm betting she was Chuck's au pair, but I really, really, really hope this doesn't turn into another Chuck-mommy-issues debacle, because I don't know if I can handle any more of that ridiculousness.

    The promo looks awesome and I'm actually really excited about the next episode (for the first time in awhile, to be honest). Time to finally turn up the heat on this love triangle! This show knows what to give us during sweeps month, that's for sure :)

  11. Gossip Girl Spoilers: Dair Feelings Rekindled?

    11/8/2011 1:47 PM
    Feelings "coming back" can only refer to Dan, since Blair's never had any. And hopefully he'll actually manage to cure them this time around, because I'm getting tired of the DB teasing. Blair can only fall for so many guys in one season before she starts to look as ridiculous as Nate.

  12. Who is TV's best teen couple?

    11/7/2011 3:58 AM
    Cracks me up how people think Dan/Blair is winning something just because no one else has even seen it yet- and then they get wrecked as soon as people start paying attention.

    So... Chuck/Blair, obviously. I'm not sure how Dan/Blair even counts as a couple, since they never have been (and God willing, never will be).

    That being said, Damon/Elena are clearly going to destroy both of them in this poll.

  13. Who is Your Favorite Teen Couple?

    11/5/2011 2:22 PM
    Chuck and Blair.

    Good lord, why is there a picture of Blair and Louis on this article? Ugh.

  14. Gossip Girl Spoilers: Will Chuck and Blair Kiss?

    10/26/2011 7:28 PM
    Are some of you serious? There was no super secret Dan-and-Blair-making-out scene that was cut. At the beginning of the Dan/Blair/Serena scene at the book party, he apologizes for not making it to her apartment earlier. The kiss she was reading about was Dan's fanfiction, it never happened.

    And I don't even know how to respond to someone who thinks Dan and Blair belong together when she has no romantic feelings for him, she's in love with two other dudes, and pregnant with a baby fathered by one of them. Oh, and he's the love of her best friend's life. Seriously, not going to happen.

    @ggfan Penn's opinion, much like Ed's (who consistently says that he wants Blair and Chuck to wind up together) and Leighton's (who has also consistently said that, and never said anything about Blair and Dan besides liking their friendship)- does not matter at all. The writers write, the actors act, and that's just how it works.

  15. Gossip Girl Spoilers: Will Chuck and Blair Kiss?

    10/26/2011 12:49 PM
    I think it's definitely a Chuck/Blair kiss, but I doubt it will lead to a reconciliation just yet (especially since it's probably followed by a slap, heh). The writers want to milk their reunion for as long as possible, plus we know Blair's still going ahead with wedding preparations several episodes later. I'm guessing this is the beginning of the Chuck/Blair/Louis triangle Safran mentioned though.

  16. Gossip Girl Round Table: "The Fasting and the Furious"

    10/26/2011 11:39 AM
    I do find it kind of ironic when people don't want Dan with Serena because of "how she treated him", but want him with Blair- who not only isn't interested in him, but consistently treats him like something she scraped off the bottom of her shoe. Even their friendship is one-sided, she just goes to him when she needs to talk about her problems, and then never shows any interest in his.

    I've been thinking about it some more, and I'm starting to think Diana might have been one of Chuck's au pairs. Might even be an interesting way to bring Jack back into the story, because didn't he sleep with all of them?

  17. Gossip Girl Round Table: "The Fasting and the Furious"

    10/25/2011 7:57 PM
    @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.

    Btw, for all the people complaining about the step-sibling situation, did you ever watch Clueless?

  19. Gossip Girl Round Table: "The Fasting and the Furious"

    10/25/2011 6:44 PM
    And to everyone whining about how biased this round table is-

    1) They're all entitled to their opinions, just like we are.
    2) There was literally no "Dair" in this episode (or God willing, any future episodes) so there's no reason for them to discuss it.

  20. Gossip Girl Round Table: "The Fasting and the Furious"

    10/25/2011 6:36 PM
    Favorite quote from the episode: well, favorite quote overall was what the psychologist said to Chuck. Poor guy, he looked like he got physically slapped. Favorite funny quote was anything he said to Dan or Chuck. "Since we're not in a Jason Bateman movie, we'll have to come up with another plan." Oh, Chuckles.

    Biggest stretch was definitely Diana showing up at an intimate family gathering- with nothing but the introduction of someone who isn't even part of said family- and no one acting like this was odd. Nate being dumb isn't a stretch, it's pretty much just the status quo now, heh.

    Chuck's redemption has finally begun and I'm definitely on board- what I love most about it, though, is that they're not taking him out-of-character to accomplish it. He's still the same snarky bastard we all know and love, he's just finally facing some hard truths about himself.

    I agree with Steve on Dan and Serena. I'd like to see them reunite eventually, but their relationship definitely needs some rehab, and he has to get over his feelings for Blair first. Serena deserves better than a guy who's hung up on her best friend.

    Underused character- well, I'd like to say Chuck, but his scenes have been so good, I actually don't mind that there haven't been that many of them. Dan has definitely been overused up until now, as has Louis and all of the royals.

    I just hope to hell Diana isn't Chuck's mom, because Nate's been banging her for like 5 episodes now and... ew.

  21. Gossip Girl Review: Blair's Royal Nightmare

    10/25/2011 4:52 PM
    I'm sorry, I honestly can't see how some of you think this is steering the show towards pairing Dan and Blair together. Blair knows Dan was having creepy sex fantasies about her, she read his soft-core fanfiction- and she still didn't want him. Reading someone's glowing portrayal of you isn't going to turn non-feelings into feelings... if anything, it might make her like him more in a sort of patronizing, pitying sort of way, but I would hope Dan has more self-respect than to settle for that.

    If anything, the show seems to be setting up Dan's crush on Blair as an obstacle in his reuniting with Serena, and (hopefully) the death of the Blair-Serena rivalry that's been a running undercurrent since the pilot.

    Meanwhile, Chuck is obviously being redeemed and matured, and it's not for nothing- it's clearly to reunite him with Blair (and possibly even so he can be a father). The show isn't going to end with Dan and Blair eating pizza and watching a movie on the couch, while Chuck and Serena are off crying in a corner over how awful they are. Chuck/Blair and Dan/Serena have been the main stories for the majority of the series now, so if you're going to complain about that, you should've turned this show off halfway through season 1.

  22. Gossip Girl Canadian Promo: Louis Fights Back!

    10/25/2011 4:33 PM
    Uh, fighting back against what, exactly? Chuck has done nothing but help Louis this season- remember when he was about to abandon his PREGNANT fiance because of some fictional soft-core porn Dan wrote in his book?

    Chuck is just trying to get his life/psyche together, he's letting Blair go so she can supposedly be happy without him, and Louis really has no justification for attacking him right now.

    Unless, of course, he just found out the baby is actually Chuck's. In which case, sucks to be you, Louis. Maybe you should've waited more than 5 minutes before proposing to a chick you barely know.

  23. Gossip Girl Review: Blair's Royal Nightmare

    10/24/2011 11:52 PM
    The biggest problem with how they're writing these episodes, IMO, is that they're focusing too much on misdirection and surprising us... so they build up to exciting cliffhangery stuff at the end of the episode (some of which makes sense, some of which... not so much). But as a result, so much of the middle just feels like boring filler, especially when it's guest stars interacting with guest stars.

    The lack of CB interaction isn't helping, of course, but they're obviously taking steps that will bring them back to each other, so I can't complain too much about that.

    Like last episode, Chuck had limited screentime, but he still managed to steal the show. He was funny, sexy, and sad/heartbreaking, and I applaud the writers for taking steps to make him grow and mature without losing his fabulous snarkiness. His dialogue with Dan and later with Nate was just hilarious.

    Blair- I just don't know what to say about her at this point. Her scene with Eleanor was moving, and I'm glad she made up with Serena at the end, but otherwise I find her barely recognizable as a character. She was ready to sign her baby away to the Grimaldis just because Serena wouldn't ditch her job to have lunch with her? They really must be switching the Blair/Serena roles this season, if Serena's becoming the career-minded one and Blair's all fixated on future in-law/princess problems.

    Along those lines, though, I did love Serena in this episode, and I'm glad she's finally showing some goals and initiative. Her scene with Dan was a real highlight, the emotions between them were so poignant there. Between this scene and the one in the last episode, it definitely seem like they're reactivating that pairing. I've always been a Dan/Serena fan, but they're going to have to cure Dan of his crush on Blair before I can actually buy them again as a couple.

    Dan's apology to Nate, btw, was pretty much the worst apology ever, but I'm a-okay with everyone staying pissed at him for awhile, especially if it keeps Dan/Blair scenes off my TV.

    I feel like I need closed-captioning on my TV for the Grimaldis, seriously. And someone needs to tell Ivy to clear her damn throat, although she and Nate are still cute together.

    Diana finally got a little interesting there at the end, when it became clear that she has some connection to Bart (please don't make her be another one of Chuck's maybe-moms), and Louis becoming suspicious of Blair and contacting Chuck's therapist can only mean problems for that couple.

    Basically, I think this episode set up some good storylines, but was too much of a filler episode to be interesting on its own.

  25. Gossip Girl Spoiler: The Kiss to End All Kisses ...

    10/19/2011 7:18 PM
    The option for a really buzzworthy kiss would be between Chuck and Blair. I wonder if this has something to do with that masquerade stuff we heard was filming? Maybe it's like Lord Marcus, where she pretends she thinks she's kissing Louis... but come on, we all know Louis could never kiss like that :)

    If I have to suffer through another DB kiss, I'll just stop watching and tune in for Chuck and Blair's wedding. Because seriously, enough already.
