Lisa, you already know I agree with you. Even when I shipped DS I remember telling some people that NS was inevitable because they couldn’t just drop them like that. There was too much there to be ignored, it won’t be out of the blue at all. Now after the horror show that has been DS's 97593002 reunions it’s even more inevitable, and I do hope they happen. I’m actually glad that after they hooked up Nate with every possible female, lucky Dorota and Lily, they escaped; Serena was not one of them, which will give them an even better foundation for a careful hookup. I do hope Serena ends up in Columbia with Nate. Serena alone in Brown and Nate alone in Columbia? I don't think so.

Yes, it's like we're expecting some big things from the writers but they just can't deliver, because in their minds we love those OMG moments and those contrived SLs more than everything. More than giving some growth and development to the characters.
