I totally get you though and understand why you were upset with that storyline not working out, I think everyone has big issues with the way things were presented in season 5, including both cb and DB fans! I also wish they had decided they worked better as friends as well, if they were always going to be temporary. I just think doing it the way they did, if they were ever going to go that route, was the MESSIEST way to do it as it hurt Serena and chuck really badly, when it might not have done so much damage had they done DB in season 4! Coming from a cb and SB fan, I wouldve understood it More if they explored them in season 4, figured out they weren't going to work in the long term as they both loved other people, and then really took the time to properly rebuild DS and CB. Because I did enjoy dan and blairs banter and enjoyed their reluctant friendship, but season 5 ruined everything I liked about that dynamic :/. I think it also woukd have avoided the nasty fan wars that the writers deliberately fueled as well!! Didn't enjoy the Hilary duff cameo, that was the start of the endless revolving door of guest stars which usually never added anything decent to the show. The only one I really really enjoyed was Georgina but only her season 1 episodes. Season 2 was ok but after that they ruined her Quote:

i think anyone could make solid arguments for either pairing tbh, its just different strokes for different folks. and blair didnt say she loved dan but she did say she found her center and to me she just seemed lighter and over all happier around him, which imo, is love... but hey, to each their own on that. I dont think we will ever agree so there isnt really a point discussing tbh.
at least we can agree that louis sucked. lol. and when it comes down to it the writers chose to make things messy and annoying and complicated when they didnt have to. when will writers realize there is so many other issues and things they can do that dont revolved around love triangles? Quote:
its kinda like on life unexpected when they cate/baze were never together and then in the finale they were a couple. like, gee thanks for waiting til the last minute to do what you could have done earlier! |

For season 5, I am happy about what we got with Chuck's growth and redemption. 5x10 and the last 3 episodes are pretty enjoyable. Other than that pretty much everything sank even tho there are some great scenes in them, like the apology scene . The nonsense romance was unnecessary for me but I didn't see it as a bump for CB, instead it was for SB and DS. And Blair would of course needed a liar and a minion next to herself who enables her princess wannabe side instead of having Serena and Chuck who are & have been her truth tellers, and none of them are minions. Dan would of course fulfill the task because he has a damsel in distress aka white knight syndrome. It's shown and told evidently many times. If Blair would have been her old strong self Dan would have only dreamt to get 5 feet close to her, let along "date" her (which he forced her to). Eventually Blair used a kleenex as to quote herself. She did NOT love Dan for certain, it's been shown and told. We don't need to interpret anything. And unfortunately I don't even enjoy them as friends anymore... Thank god it was also evident that they were not even friends anymore at the end. __________________

I do agree that the CB storyline never stopped, that is true, but it doesnt take away from the fact that they really did build DB for a long time. Which was just unnecessary on their end if they weren't going to make it last. At least with NS they kinda got that over and done with quick. Same for NV and all the other non endgame pairings.
Carter was so great in seasons 2/3. I really missed him once he left. i felt his SL with Serena was unfinished. Literally every character in my eyes was at some point. I hated Serena/Blair as friends, i think they are one of the worst written friendships on a show.... |

Yeah I agree they dragged it out, which obviously for me, was very painful and 90% of the reason I hated season 5. and NS were quick, too quick imo, they deserved a lot more effort than what they got, it was so rushed. I guess part of it was to emphasise that Serena was always going to love dan, which again is why I don't understand how they let DS get SO screwed up. I hated, hated when they started using season 4 to stick Serena with useless guest stars who were AWFUL, chuck too actually, but then they followed it with dan treating her like crap the next season. I still rooted for them halfway into season 4, thought they had really sweet moments and the chemistry was still there, but they started butchering serenas character and isolating her in stupid storylines and that really pissed me off.
It was unfinished, and if they had been more creative they could have had him return in season 4 instead of boring Ben. It wouldve been nice to get some proper closure with them, they actually had quite a bit of support as a couple. I saw the appeal and did enjoy them briefly but I think she did love both dan and nate more. Yeah I'm the opposite about SB, theyre probably my favourite part of the show. Obvs I don't like what they did to them towards the end, but I loved them in seasons 1-4. They came across as so real, and different to others e.g. Brooke and Peyton who I was always meh about. I actually liked their early fights because you could always see where both of them were coming from, and even if they were in an arguement they would be there in a second if they needed eacother. I think because they knew each other forever their relationship was always more familial, and they pretty much were for each other what their mothers weren't -I think that made their friendship far more inviolable. I really loved that about them. and the NJBC!. Because honestly I mean in reality you probably wouldn't still be friends with someone after all that lol, but I saw their bond as stronger than that, unique, and I thought it was one of the biggest strengths of the show. |

I think DS had a decent storyline through season 4 as well, but once the DB thing started they just destroyed them. I still shipped them because I loved them so much in season 1 and because I love Dan and want his happiness but it wasnt the same. The magic was gone, and i think part of that had to do with the break up with penn and blake.

i loved Brooke/Peyton and felt they were far more genuine than SB. SB seemed to always secretly hate one another and I never really understood why Serena put up with Blair's awfulness towards her. Like, blair had every right to be jealous of Serena and get annoyed with her, but most of the time I felt like Serena was pretty understanding of Blair and pretty nice toward her, and I didnt feel that way from Blair's end. Blair was so mean to her a lot of the time. And NJBC was nothing to me, they had like 4 scenes together lol. It was something was mentioned once and blown like way out of proportion. The Dan/Nate friendship was one my favorites. I also loved the jenny/blair back and forth. Nate/Serena/Blair as friends was really cute and Nate/Chuck were cute too but I didnt like anything else much. Shu from what i remember you supported DB when it was happening... |

Serena is one of the worst friendships on tv ever. Blair was horrible to Serena and while S made mistakes she was raked over the coals by Blair and unfairly. How is it her fault that people notice her and not Blair? That's Blair's issues and her having to suffer for it is the hight of BS. I never felt Blair in that friendship cause she was either blaming Serena for stuff that was not her fault and Blair's own insecurities or ****shaming her. The only time I felt Blair had a right to be mad was her sleeping with Nate. The only way I could put up with them was to view Blair more as the insecure and jealous little sister. I do agree the reason they prob wrote some of the stuff they did for so long was to keep PB apart which I hate, but weirdly their chem was still there---issues or not--this is why I hate when my pairings date irl. __________________

yeah it sucks. i think that they were still friends at least but it probably was part of the reason the writers had them apart. I was okay with the DS storyline, I just wish they had gotten a bit better build up in season 5/6. I would have much rather they built towards then then take things with DB as far as they had if they were just going to ruin them anyways.
