1. Chuck, Blair and narrative power.

    

   i feel like the person who wrote that tries to support the writer's choices, or at least put sense in it, when really (IMO) they didn't have any plan at all. 

    

   AL, i totally agree with you.

   It's a nice rationalisation for why Chuck might have reacted the way he did, but there's not actually much support for it in the events of the show.  A much simpler explanation is that Chuck cannot stand to lose.  When he loses (be that the Empire, Eva, Nate finding out about Blair and him in S1) he reacts in a very childish, spiteful and vengeful way to the person he holds responsible: Blair.

   Yeah, but I think they still have more with that story.

   @Jen: I really hope so!!

   Guys, I can't believe your in my age class! I always thought to be the oldest chick on the forum.

   Zoey. congrats on your birthday this friday! So glad not the be the only one. Sometimes I felt like something's wrong or little retarded in me to share one of my obsessions with people 15 yrs younger than me...

   I think it was already weird that b would not have called c when she found out about Juliet even when they r not friends he wanted to help... But ok I get it they have to be separated in order to get together again.

   @Zoey: You're right but whatever...

   Chuck and Blair just clicked, they got each other so well, and like you said they were soul mates. I still think they are of course but since last season and even continuing this season I feel like the writers are turning that against them.

   @Jen: Yeah, yeah and again they do it in a really dirty way, take the Chuck "redemption" as an example! He now practically seems "redeemed" without ever really doing anything for it and I seriously doubt that the IP will longer be an issue for the writers. They think that "faith" or Blair letting Chuck kiss a guy makes them even. SPLENDID!

   For BAN, i believe that if they really make them happy, it would be about each of them changing for about 180 degrees and go through real metamorphosis, GG could change from a teenage-drama-series to a science-fiction-series.

   @Jen: I guess there are really no explanations for his behaviour, it is was it is: contrived to make BAN (as you call them beautifully) happen.

   To me Chair used to be so much more than sex-partners, in my understanding they really get each other on a soulmate kind of level. IMO that last scene was more revenge  from Chuck's part, he just felt a little like us, little in shock about the new BAN built-up I guess. "If you prefer to scheme with Dan, instead of hooking up with me I'll punish you." As weird as it sounds, that's the only explanation I have in mind if I try to put it nicely when really it doesn't get into my head at all...

   My hope is that somehow there is a point to all of this. That the writers are doing something if anything to fix this and give the umph back to Chuck and Blair!

   Till now they didn't show much proof of that, but I get what you're saying. It's surely the hope of everyone posting in this thread. 

   It's all just so odd, I recall their convo in the limo where Chuck doesn't even try to convince her to be with him, but states to came only for Serena and that he can't be friends with her. Last week was kind the icing of the cake, he didn't even pay any attention to her and what did this final scene between them supposed to mean? I can't/ don't want to be your friend, but you're not allowed to have any other partners in crime? happy holidays?

    

   Hi Zoey!

   Hi Ash! I don't think we ever met online, but i remember reading some of your posts lately. Since 3x17 I used to be quite paralysed and very angry, so i stopped watching the show regularly and also frequent the forum.  The start of season 4 didn't encouraged me either, but since 4x07/08 I'm back, iDK how long. Dair would definitely turn me off as soon as I see them on my screen. Did I miss any kind of chemistry or affinity? Am I in denial? IDK!  Glad I'm apparently not the only one feeling a little irritated!

   Hi Jen! To be honest, after all my personal GG deceptions i'm still not entirely recovered from Chair. Call me psychotic, masochistic, a sexist, probably there's some truth in that, but I just can't get over the fact that those two really interesting characters are written the way they are written. Every time they writers fail I feel like it's such a waste, because there really is no other as interesting constellation on TV.

   I believe that even after all the damage and fuckery the writers did to them, there's still so much potential for interesting, plausible and dramatic sl's between them.

   Now Blair who wouldn't even shake hands with Dan, does his dishes... CRAZY, CRAZY and boring mess!

   I kinda got that, lol WTF right? I mean all of a sudden everyone loves Dan/Blair? They have no fucking chemistry. Ugh I'm so aggravated with this.

   you're so right!!! why dair? i really don't like this idea and think it's beyond stupid to pair them. 

   if the writers are unable to write happy or interesting chair, why don't they stick to a different, new character, but why does it has to be dan??? the way the writers "started" their story last week came out of the blue and seemed so obviously contrived. IDK why but this really makes me angry.

10. Juliet Doesn't Live Here Anymore

    Cupcake, your words in my mouth.

    It's been a really long time since I said this, I disliked  most of season 3 and I just hated the start of season 4 to the point where I was so annoyed of the show that I didn't watch it regularly like I used to do before, but this last episode 4x08 really was a great improvement.

    I agree the IP, the finale and especially the start of season 4 ("how could i believe someone good could actually love me") including this terrible, terrible eva storyline really made it hard to believe in this couple. I won't probably ever again. But since this episode was fierce and funny, I really enjoyed watching it - that said for the first time in a zillion years. 

    So yeah, they're all kind of comic relief, but this time in a fun way. My only problem is that I don't trust those writers, they've shown their capability of havoc in the past. But let's see about next week.
