Yep. Judge all you want. This was last time he was happy.
Can we have Eva back, please? (I refuse to watch 5.17, that’s it. I know what’s happening in this episode and this is were the fun ends for me. Because no, Chuck and Blair had to end with Chuck plotting something to hurt Blair, right? They couldn’t just go their separate ways for the...

Because I'm in a ranty mood and I've seen the...
It seems that Chuck will do something to bankrupt the Waldorfs, justifying himself to Dan with a vehement: “But you framed me!”. When I first heard it, I thought that he meant that he didn’t really bankrupt anybody and Dan is just making it look like it’s his fault. But I can see that most people think that in some misguided attempt at getting back at Dan for sending that...

I will not reblog this because I don’t want to get into a fight, but I’m so highly offended by it that I have to get some of my hurt out. All I want, is to ask this person how classy exactly it is to make weakly based assumptions on a whole group of people they don’t even know; how friendly it is to talk about someone behind their back; how posh it is to offend people, even if...

You know there's something very wrong with the...
Seriously, I don’t want to bother you guys with this, because I know all of my followers ship CB (and only a few of you are multi-shippers) but I just can’t. I watch Gossip Girl, I see where they are going with DB and think that they’re doing it all wrong. Instead of keeping Dan and Blair’s history different from all the others on the show, since I guess that’s one of...

So, Dan apparently went to Blair’s essay competition…
Who sat with and talked to her after her breakup with Nate?
Who helped her when she needed to take care of Serena?
Who went after her when she went off the deep end after losing Yale?
Who gave her the perfect prom without being her date?
Who lied about his feelings because he thought it would make her happy?
Who...

The art of keeping your characters in character is...
People keep asking, why some of us whine about Chuck and Blair being OOC. “Everybody changes,” they argue. “They had to grow up one day.” Which is true. And if the painful process of maturing required them to not be together, I could accept it. But the problem is, according to the writers, it actually didn’t. A few episodes earlier they were still all over each...

maribells:
Here’s my take on how Gossip Girl is playing this whole situation.
GGWriters: Okay, so we’ll just give Blair to Dan for awhile, and then give her back to Chuck.
Chair fans: That doesn’t make any sense. Why would Blair do that?
GGWriters: Screw characterization! This way everyone wins! Dair fans get Blair, and then Chair fans get Blair!
Chair fans: Yeah, but we kinda don’t want...

Gossip Girl, 5.16: Kill all the cool characters!
And if not kill, well, drive them away or make the disappear. Whatever works.
After the show has gone to the dogs (and although I am ship-biased, I assure you that I would acknowledge Gossip Girl being good even with DB all over the place - if it were still more or less well-written, which it isn’t), there were not many characters that still made sense. But Cece Rhodes was one of them. So I...

antiquers:
When I say “I will go down with this ship” I don’t mean “Watta fantastic ship, may all the good children be graced by its perfection”. I mean like I will go down with this ship. I will casually survey the damage when the show ends and I’ll see the characters get their endings and I’ll watch my fellow shippers board onto lifeboats and leave as my ship slowly, gracelessly sinks and...

Loving Steve Rogers but having problems with the...
On the other hand, Captain America being the World’s Top Cop is also understandable, since it’s, you know, an American character. I mean, come on, in Doctor Who it always seems that the United Kingdom is the centre of the universe. In an old Polish TV series, Stakes Larger Than Life, secret agent J-23 manages the whole WWII from behind the stage :) (Not to mention How I Unleashed World...

I’m such a coward. I’ve started reading the Marvel comics from Avengers: Disassembled and have been pretty much jumping from one arc to another sometimes disregarding the right order (it’s like, I’ve read the newest Avengers issues from Fear Itself, earlier - Heroic Age, then went back to Dark Reign, then to Secret Invasion, then to House of M - which I seriously loved -...

Dear Gossip Girl writers,
As a business management student, I have learned that a successful retailer pleases its target demographic above all while an unsuccessful retailer tries to please everyone and flops. You are an unsuccessful retailer. You would be going bankrupt by now. Actually, your ratings are at an all-time low after the last episode, so you are going bankrupt.

“Dan: “If you’re looking for Serena, she’s gone. It’s...”
– Here, have some more Jacob from TWoP goodness. You know, why I’m his faithful reader? Because I can always count on him to point out every ounce of idiocy in GG’s story lines, no matter the character or ship. And since he’s not a fan of any particular pairing, he’s always...

Gossip Girl, 5.15: What there is to like?
Ah, you’re probably all asking yourselves that question, fellow non-Dair shippers. Well, I’ll tell you what I liked - unfortunately, it has nothing to do with either Chuck, or Blair. No, I’ve decided to invest a little in other story lines, no matter how unimportant they are.
1. Georgina/Philip is killing me with all the evil cuteness. Georgie, give in! You know you want to.

There’s a reason why I always feel a little guilty after reading American comic books. It’s just that they seem to be American (not only cultural and not very subtle) imperialism wrapped into this neat, colourful package of action goodness. Since I’m doing my major in international relations, though, I mostly find the political fiction parts fun.
But I really don’t know...

Dan and Blair will be kissing. And she'll be...
See, this is exactly the kind of OOC shit I was talking about… Curiously, I don’t mean the kiss, but the princess part. Because I believe that if done well, Dan and Blair could make sense. Hell, probably there are some fanfiction writers out there that made this pairing happen in a realistic way back during season one!
But the GG writers have no idea how to do it, so the only way they...
