Seriously, can someone explain to me which are the scene that forshadow Blair and Dan's friendship? The girl despises the boy, as she clearly stated in the finale, and many many times before that.

Can someone please explain to me why Carter Bazen came back?
Mmh, It's still a bit confusing considering that last time that Carter was in town didn't even bother to contact Serena because he was busy banging Blair...

Dare to Dair?
I see your point Stella, but I don't see Chuck and Blair like a new Seth and Summer. Now, Dan and Blair would be another Seth and Summer, but not Chuck and Blair. But we'll have to wait and see. As for SL involving friendship and not only tortured love triangles, I completely agree with bfan. I never realised until last episode that actually Dan has really no reason for hanging up with the rest of the main cast now that he is no more with Serena. He never really befriended Chuck or Blair, who frankly could go on living without ever seeing him again, he was friend with Nate for a while, but then they had a fight because of Jenny, so why shouldn't it forget about the rest of them and simply keep Vanessa as his friend? And that I blame on the writers: they had amazing oppurtunities (Chuck amd Dan in prison, Nate and Dan after Nate explained himself about Jenny and Blair and Dan during the school play) to develop something other than love realtionship, and they completely missed the opportunity!

Ok, maybe it's just me being obnubilated by the joy of finally seeing Chuck and Blair together, or me simply being dumb (the Nate effect?), but I really didn't get why Carter Bazen did actually come back to help Serena. I mean, does he care so much about Serena? Wasn't she the one who actually sent him to Dubai? Why would he suddendly hire a PA, after at least 3 years (I assume the two of them were in Santorini at least 3 years ago) for finding her father (and why can't Serena do that herself?). If I understood correctly he met Mr Van der Woodseen in Dubai, but then Serena's father went away, and Carter hired a PA who discovered that the dad is now in Fiji. But why????? Some clarification please! (other than "The writers wanted Sebastian back, I may be dumb, but not that dumb)

Dare to Dair?
Well, I think that the OBVIOUS thing to do would be to break up Chuck and Blair after 5 episodes, while the daring thing to do would be to actually write something interesting for them while keeping them together for the whole season 3. What the writers have built up is a strong, even if a bit contorted and perverse, love, and it won't be easy to break them a part. I mean, what could they do? Chuck could try to rape someone. Oh, wait, done. Or Blair could sleep with either one of his realtives or his best friend. Wait, done. Or Chuck could reject her over and over and over and over... oh wait, done. And still this two seem to have nothing but love for each other, so what I say is why not try to make them work for a while? I can see what Dair fans are looking for, but it has been done so many times in so many shows (well, basically in every show...) that I think it will really be boring. It is actually funny how the two can't stand each other, but still team up some time only because both of them love Serena. I was actually kind of hoping that the writers would put together Dan and Georgina, but then I read that Michelle has been signed only for three eps, so I guess we'll have to wait and see. But seriuously, I'm a Chair fan, but I think that it's going to be fun to open every thread during the long wait before season 3 (nothing can be more boring or annoying than the "Nair" "No Chair" thing that has been going on on this site for the past month...)

Q&A Game
I think it's Indian Food
In The remains of the J what tv show jingle does Dan sing (actually, quote) to Jenny, implying that she'll move in with Lily once she has married their father?

Poor ratings
yes, but wasn't lipstick jungle like slated all over the press? I live in europe, and here every magazine hated it, didn't receive a lot of attention in general, and it surely wasn't downloaded.

Poor ratings
I wouldn't give to the ratings such a big importance. Everyone knows, including CW and the press, that "who does watch television on television anymore anyway?" (sorry Erik!). There are a lot of downloads from the web, people watching the show on line, dvr, tivo, and even (I know a lot of them) people actually waiting for the dvd boxset before watching a season. GG is a big fenomenon, but it's not an usual one, a 10 millions viewers per night kind of thing. The interest that it creates around itself, its characters and cast goes beyond television broadcasting.

ONE THING THAT ANNOYS ME (book fans pay attention)
I'm sorry, but, even if I read the books (which, by the way, are the worst piece of written English ever), how could you seriously think that a tv show like GG could have lost New York as a setting?. If Blair would have gone to Yale, Serena to Browns, Nate sailing around the world etc etc then you would have lost not only New York, but Gossip Girl as a character as well, because, even if the girl seems to be omniscent, she can't be ubicuos too. What works in the novels can't work in a tv series, where the fact that all the main characters remain in the same place is vital. They could have had all the main characters go to Yale, but they would have lost Lily and Rufus (who are much more important in the tv series then in the books), Jenny (unless doing an It Girl Spin Off), Eric, Jonathan, Cyrus, Eleanor, Dorota and all the secondary characters we have learned to love. I think that, lost in our anger because Chair wasn't happening, we kind of lost what the writers have really intended for Blair: to lose everything (Yale, her dad's confidence, Chuck for a while) and then be able, even thanks to Nate, to brace herself again. Plus, who cares about college? The first 2 seasons could have been set at another school, or having some characters not going to school alltogether, that it would have not changed a thing: GG's characters were never usual high school's teenagers facing usual teenagers' problems, it was more about parties, plotting, scheming, clothes and even business (Chuck and Bass industries), and that can go on only if they all stay in NY. GG is the ultimate insider to the Manhattan Elite, and they have to stay in Manhattan.
