Dair are just the best part of this show. The writing and the acting totally shines in their scenes. Great acting from both Penn and Leighton in their scenes yesterday.

Penn's acting was just great during that scene, the way he looked at her, damn this guy is hot how i never noticed before is beyond me

The future Princess of Monaco, Blair Waldorf, spent so much time fretting over typical Blair Waldorf things that by the time the wedding planner called her out - and she didn't deny it - her pregnancy secret was truly shocking.
Dorota did a great job fooling Eleanor and likely more than a few viewers, too, in covering for her BFF. But her body does not lie. I guess. Leighton Meester actually looks thinner than ever to me. But give it a few weeks!
Dan's behavior this week was truly eye-opening. His mannerisms and cryptic comments certainly made it out to seem like he and Blair did more than kiss. Like a lot more. More importantly, he's obviously IN LOVE WITH HER.
Even though he knew precisely what Louis was doing when he stood Blair up and why, Dan was prepared to let her skip town, with him, and leave her fairy tale behind. That's one whopper of a lie by omission, Lonely Boy.
You don't do that for someone you're not head over heels for. Dair is very much alive ... at least as far as the feelings on one side are concerned, and possibly an unborn child is concerned. Can you imagine if it's Dan's?
Penn Badgley is certainly looking the part of the unkempt writer, yearning for his past lover. I'm glad the writers didn't torpedo Dan's feelings for Blair altogether, which would've made so much of last season feel trite.
What happens between now and November 26 - save the date!! - will be interesting to say the least. Will Blair keep the baby? If so, will she start to show? Will Dan pursue her in earnest? Will Chuck, despite his motivational speech?

Although the phrase "Three words, eight letters" is a signature Chuck and Blair landmark saying, we like that the writers used it with Dan and his feelings for Blair. The whole Dan and Blair relationship still seems real and we'd love to see more Dair. Yep, we said it.

Blair thinks she’s being stood up by Louis, but she doesn’t know that he’s actually trying to help Dan prevent his story from being printed. Blair calls a cab and ends up at the loft. She tells Dan that she wants to call off her engagement and she needs to get away for a while. And of course Louis walks in at that moment. After explaining what’s going on, Dan kindly points out that Louis has been standing up for her all along. To which Blair of course yells at Dan for almost letting her walk away from everything. Well, maybe that’s because you burst into his apartment and then Louis walked in only a minute after you stopped whining?

Blair’s Unresolved Feelings: Blair has wanted to be a princess since always. She craves to be a part of a royal family, but has always gone back and forth between Chuck or being Princess Diana. Now, there’s another boy in the mix and he’s nothing like Chuck Bass. Dan Humphrey and Blair’s relationship went through a roller coaster last season including a lot of denial and sneaking around. The denial continues – Blair is stuck in another love triangle only this time it’s between the Prince of Monaco and the boy from Brooklyn. Sorry Chuck Bass.

Good reviews

I'm still... I can't believe how perfect and precious they are, I just can't.

I can't even be coherent, because her Take me there and his face and... I think I died about a million times watching it last night! I'm seriously... I can't, I mean, they are perfect, perfect!!

Off to read some reviews because I need to clear my head to be able to say something that actually has substance to it.

Nothing Else Matters · 09-27-2011, 10:12 AM

They are perfect.

meraki · 09-27-2011, 10:15 AM

They are so perfect

BlueSkies · 09-27-2011, 10:16 AM

I just... they keep getting more and more perfect, I don't think I'll survive this season, I mean... just look at them...

kfrancis08 · 09-27-2011, 10:17 AM
