Catching up... Quote:

I think one problem is people have way to high expectations for CN and how N should act at this point that they'll never get it so it'll never be enough. Nate's personality is very laid back and he tries to show others respect in the way he wants, to be given space and time to figure things out on their own, and than if they come to him he'd be willing to help. Chuck is a meddler, that's part of his personality, so yeah he's going to step in and help Nate (even when Nate doesn't want it) whereas Nate won't do that as much, but that is not necissarily indicative of Chuck being a great friend and Nate not-it speaks to their personalites, how they see things, and how the behave in general not just in their friendship. Honestly, my bff and I see things very very differently and I still have to clue her in to how I need her to help me in certain situations, cause the way she tries to do it does nothing to help me-does that mean I think she's a bad bff cause she see and reacts to things different and there is sometimes discrepancies on what we think each other needs? No, of course not. And for the record, Nate was there for Chuck during Bart's funeral. That episode it was both NB that were there for Chuck (Serena was the one that was glaringly missing becasue of the whole choosing Dan over Chuck crap) but Nate helped bring him to the funeral, and he was there afterwards looking after him with Blair at the gathering. But he once again expressed the idea of giving him space when he kept pushing them away, cause that's genuinely what Nate thought Chuck needed. And that also served the purpose of letting Blair be the one to be there for him, just like its probably going to serve the purpose next episode as indicated by the sneak peek. Nate has every freaking right to be pissy with Chuck right now over what he did to Blair. He cares about Blair a lot, and Chuck put her through a lot of emotional pain that he clearly sees. And he's not saying Chuck is a horrible person, he's saying what he did was horrible-and I think he's so upset about it because it is Chuck, his bestie. His bff just did something really horrible to someone he claims to love more than anything. That's dissapointing. Nate knows Chuck can be better than that, if he didn't think that he wouldn't be as pissed about it. And I don't get the argument that if Nate hates Chuck so much () that he should just move out and cut him off completely. Umm if Nate did react in that more extreme way wouldn't people be crying crappy friend even more? The fact that Nate is still there and interacting with him is showing that he is trying with him, but he's not ready to just be fine and dandy with what Chuck did yet, and he's making that clear. Nate's line to Chuck about having the time of his life, I really don't think Nate was just being oblvious (as everyone likes to think) but I thought that liine was rather sarcastic, implying that there Chuck was whinning about not having Blair anymore when he was sitting around playing with whores and getting high when he should have been out tring to find a way to make it up to Blair. Nate's not one to sit around an angst and cotempate things over and over again the way Chuck is, so he's not going to get Chuck's longer process of internal torture angsting. Nate is a man of action, and he wasn't seeing Chuck take action to rectify the horriblness that he did and says he's sorry for. He wants Chuck to be better, he has expecations for him because he truly believes he can meet them. But he still hung out with him because they are besties-not because Nate is flaky, or doesn't care, or is mooching off of chuck. ...And that turned into a long, rambling rant, heh. Sorry i'm just really really tired of it. Quote:

It will be interesting to see the first interaction between Nate/William, cause they'll have a slight memory/awareness of each other from before he left, but not much, it'll be interesting to see how its played-if they'll reference this at all or just focus on the meeting and Nate starting to get icky vibes from him or something, I'd like it though if they had a nice moment before that started. lol Quote:

And yeah, there is no way that RL are ever going to seperate for long. They'll for sure have their drama but RL is equal (if not more so) for endagme as CB are. No matter how much some people don't like them, how much some people try to blame their couple's problems on them, they ain't go anywhere And yeah, if Vanessa does leave this coming episode than he's going to have to be pretty occupied with that-plus he probably has a small part obviously with the family stuff, like the phone call with Rufus, its probably just getting his foot in the door for the next episodes while his main focus will be Vanessa. Then the last two episodes, with her gone, will have him free to deal with Nate/Daddy VdW/Gorgenia ect. So yeah it does seem like he'll be mainly involved for the last two episodes Quote:

And like I said above, DS is not done because of Scott or RL, so even though those are icky tacked on factors that can be used against them, when it comes down to it DS aren't together because they aren't in love anymore. Simple fact. Yes, they were a big part of the show before, but they also ran their course and were run into the ground. I expect there to be some teasing of DS in interviews and maybe even some subtle hints in the show, especially at the end of the season-because its to keep those fans here or bring them back. If fans think they have no hope, they leave, they don't want that so they will string fanbases along to a certain extent, always waxing on about how options are still open-that's the name of the game with these kinds of shows and fandoms.

Overall I just don't get the NS hate and I usually try to be open and all but like I said before I fail to find a strong argument the they came out of nowhere come on NS have been here since the pilot and they where dropped later on for most of S1-2 and it truly sucked for us!!
I don't hate DS but they had run in S1-2 and I don't know if they even want to go back with each other now . Quote:

TFTNT!
I loooove this picture. Blake's legs = hot. ITA on the SS thread being the CB thread. IDK why they debate so much. They're all CB fans. And CB has a 95% possibility of bein endgame already, so no worries. Keri - Awesome longass post bb. And yeah. The NS hate is getting pretty lame. No one has a strong argument anymore. They just can't take that their ship is sinking like the Titanic. Come up wih something better, guys! __________________

I have no problem whatsoever in discussing CB spoilers and I AM interested in them, I really liked Cameron in the episode so I'm certainly curious about how things will go and where they will start from in the upcoming episodes. What I cannot stand is the CONSTANT need to bring back the SAME topics and the SAME arguments and to make everything about CB even when it isn't. THAT is what annoys me. And well the general atmosphere lately hasn't been good at all, so if I have to read something where people freak out for no good reason about CB, others hate on DV and NS because that's the only means they have to find an even remote grasp for the DS of it all (and IT AIN'T happening, I do not know how the writers can have been clearer on it), PLUS others spend their time bashing Nate, well I'll pass thank you.
I miss many intelligent posters that are in there but if the price I have to pay is the above mentioned, then it's not worth it. I can talk to people separately and enjoy their POV, because as I said I AM interested in the CB story in terms of story itself, but I won't bother reading the thread. Quote:
I just refuse to deal with the delusions of people when spoilers photos and the story tell a COMPLETELY different tale. Sorry, not happening. I'm all for Dan and Serena having friendly interaction, but that's got nothing to do whatsoever with romantic feelings. And that's what SS said in that Kristin interview. People don't even get when the writers are "throwing a bone". __________________

Keri! Amazing post.
I agree specifically on all of the points you made about DS. They are deader than dead. I tried arguing this point last night but a certain poster in there is always one to bring the delusions and the crazy. __________________

Keri, ITA with your superlong rant
One thing though: PARAGRAPH BREAKS; I beg you! I lose focus and have a hard time reading your awesome thoughts because you don't use paragraph breaks many times and it is soo hard to follow Yeah I know it's journalist nitpick but it really makes things a lot easier! I refuse to deal with the Nate is a crappy friend type of argument. He was a much better friend to Chuck than Chuck was to him in this past episode, so whatever. And seriously people didn't get that the "you're having the time of your life" was SARCASM?! It was crystal clear that it was a sarcastic comment! BOTH in the delivery and in the sentence itself given Chuck's obvious distress. People are dense, I swear. __________________

Ale, I promised you the first show I'll watch will be Alias, and I'll keep my promise. It's just that I have so much to study and I always feel terribly lazy when it comes to starting a new show But I'm sure I'll watch the pilot soon. I already have all the first season I'll let you know when I do
Keri, amazing post So much WORD to all the Nate/Chuck points. I can't understand that after this exact episode there's still people talking about how crappy as a friend Nate is to Chuck and how Nate should move out the suite. I just don't get it. He should probably leave, I agree with that, cause right now what Chuck deserves is to be completely alone in order to maybe, just maybe, realize that he needs people as much as they need him and that if you love someone you don't schem against them. When you love someone you want the best for them, not the best for you even if that makes them suffer. He doesn't deserve Nate in his life now and even less Blair. He needs too make some radical changes before he gets to that point, starting with loving himself a bit. With all this I don't mean I hate Chuck, not in the least. I just think what he did to B and N is not defensible at all, not even by bashing Nate. I love the character and I'm looking forward to his redemption, but I'm so sick of hearing the same old story about Nate not being a good friend to him especially when he's been the worst boyfriend and friend in the last episodes. It's just wrong And I'm not going to get started in all the CB S&S thread topic It's just too boring for people that don't think exactly like them. ICA with Ale __________________

Keri, Ale, and everybunny: Thanks for your insight. You guys are awesome!!
Keri: I LOVED what you said about the CN relationship/dynamic. The SS thread spends too much time analyzing specific scenes/interactions that they don't think about who Nate actually is. He's laid back, he calls it like he sees it, and he doesn't over analyze. I also hate that the SS thread believes that all of these qualities = stupidity. Just because he doesn't over-think every situation and is trusting of his friends (even when he shouldn't be) doesn't mean he's a raging idiot. He, with most situations, takes a back seat and allows people to deal with things the way they want to. He's not going to pressure them into facing their issues, he's going to allow them to approach the situation the way they want. I also agree with what you said about expectations for CN. I think people want Nate to approach the CN friendship the way Chuck would. And that's just unfair. They are VASTLY different personalities, that have very few similarities. I mean, seriously. Could you imagine Chuck Bass being best friends with someone who was identical to himself?? God, that would be a disaster. Whether people admit it or not, the CN dynamic works BECAUSE they are opposites and approach their friendship differently. I also LOLed sooo much when I saw the SS thread talking about how Nate "sponges" off Chuck and his hotel. Okay, let's get serious. Nate is a freakin Vanderbilt. He's not some bum from the nearest homeless shelter that Chuck allows to stay at his place, eat his food, and drink his wine. Let's not pretend that Nate is only friends with Chuck for his money. This is the UES sistas...They ALL have money. I'll admit that I love reading the SS thread FOR THE MOST PART. They do have good insight and I do like to get a gauge on overall perception of the episode. When it's in uber-CB mode though, I peace out for awhile and come back when they're less excitable. Other than a few areas, I agree with a lot of what they have to say and there are a few posters there with incredibly non-bias insight. Plus I love reading what Whitney has to say. I'm just saying that there are times when that thread makes me want to light myself on fire, but it's not completely off base. __________________

If the writers end Nate/Serena to revive Dan/Serena or whatever, no skin off my nose. I've enjoyed the Nate/Serena I've gotten and I'll stop watching GG with no regrets. Cannot blame you for taking a break from the S&S board. The whining and oversensitivity of certain viewers, the counter-productive critiquing, the melodramatic reactions to recaps/spoilers/promos, the passive aggressive conflict between fans, and the automatic Chuck/Blair detours make that thread diffcult. Not everyone is like that, but those who are are very visible. I'm one of the first to engage in analytical character reviews so I can't fault anyone for trying to analyze or understand the characters and their relationships. Yet, what I see on that thread is not constructive. It's reactive. And, as much as I enjoy engaging in Nate/Serena analysis, I don't think the nature of GG or the writing for GG warrants the type of RABID agonizing that happens on the S&S threads. Not trying to knock the show (shoot, I watch it too now, ). But the show is meant to ENTERTAIN and people are taking their characters/couples way too seriously. Ah, well, it is what it is. Here's to the NS Couples thread being our respite! __________________
