  Nicoleee, I *was* just throwing in my opinion, and I didn't claim it was better than anyone else's. Simmer down.

  Ususally I just lurk, but I'm going to chime in since it seems that the writers are so terrible at their job that they actually take into account the advice of the fans on the message boards. First, before relationshipfilter, let's admit that it's hilarious that Dan Humphrey's one-and-only fan is his half-Humphrey brother. "Who does Scott know that lives in Brooklyn?" The only people that live in Brooklyn: The Humphrey's. Secondly, you kids can spout your Blair+Nate jibber jabber all you want, but Crawford can't front the acting chops needed to keep up with Meester for more than a couple episodes. The patio scene in "The Grandfather" was painful, like pulling teeth (When he laughed? Really? That was supposed to be laughing?). He can't act his way out of a paper bag. Finally, Vanessa and Chuck are disgusting, and I'm chiming in with everyone else on it ruining Chuck and Blair. It's one thing for Chuck to sleep with nameless prostitutes, to make double-entendres, to flirt shamelessly with any girl that crosses his path. But you can't have him talking about his "fireworks" with Blair in one scene, and then two later having a borderline-romantic morning after conversation with Vanessa. You can drag out the sexual tension between two characters for only so long before people give up. On the X-Files, it worked for Mulder and Scully because they NEVER hooked up with anyone else- the writers got 8 seasons of longing and hoping from the fans. That doesn't work on a high school drama. Now they've dragged Chuck and Blair out over an entire season, playing one "I love you" card midseason and hoarding the second one away. And it's no fun when we know hand the writer's holding. Eventually, they'll be forced to play their Chuck "I Love You" card, and the in-between is just screwing with us filler. I'm sick of it.
