Pure & Simple Love [Humphrey♥Waldorf] #205: There's a place I used to go, there's a world I used to know, there was a light and it was you.
"What works with Dan and Blair becoming so close is how wonderfully each complements the other. Chemistrybetween characters is a magical thing and impossible to predict. Some claim to see chemistry between Blair and Chuck, but I’ve never been able to detect any. Perhaps this is due to my being older than the show’s target audience. Perhaps their magic is undetectable by anyone old enough to have a healthy adult relationship. But for me—and I’m hardly alone in this—both Dan and Blair became more interesting characters as they began to spend time together. Unlike Blair and Chuck, who only have their dysfunction to keep them together, Dan and Blair’s ongoing friendship is grounded upon their love of film, art, and books, and, of course, conversation. No two characters on television are as much fun to listen to as Blair and Dan. If Blair and Chuck’s scenes feel like they come off the pages of really bad romance novels, Dan and Blair remind one more of Howard Hawks’s screwball comedies or Nick and Noral Charles in the Thin Man movies." TV Highpoints and Lowpoints, July 2011 "Blair has sort of made Dan her confidant about the pregnancy. I love their relationship I think it’s in a totally different level that we’ve seen of it last season even when they had that kind of combative fun. There’s Dan really feels care taking of her even though he is on his own story and trying to deal with his own things. And I think it’s a nice, it’s really…It feels really…They feel really great together. I love their dynamic." Executive Producer Sara Goodman, October 2011
"The Dan and Blair connection is something that’s been there from the earliest episodes. Their relationship to Serena, and the degree to which they’re polar opposites and represent everything that the other hates, makes their dynamic really charged. At the same time, they are characters that have a lot in common. They are the most book-smart characters hey share a lot of the same interests. And as much as they might want to hate each other, there are a lot of reasons for them to like each other. So it’s a really fun dynamic to write." Executive Producer Stephanie Savage, 2011
It was as if they belonged on a different show, because their storyline was vastly superior to everyone else’s dull drama. Dan and Blair together are like Harry Burns and Sally Albright reincarnated — the couple was obviously inspired by When Harry Met Sally. The show even recreated their famous phone-movie date for a Dan and Blair scene. The history of their relationship parallels the iconic film couple; the two began as enemies, became friends and eventually a couple. Alfonso Espina, HuffingtonPost.com 2012 "Blair, actually. definitely. I think Blair is Dan’s soul mate. I don’t know if they’re ever going to get together, but i’ll tell you that i’ve never enjoyed any scenes on the show as much as those scenes with Leighton Meester, on a strictly intellectually as an actor. There’s a whole other thing—like everything that happened early on in the show, like the obvious Dan and Serena stuff, that moved me in a different way for obvious reasons, but strictly as an actor, those scenes with Blair are the best." Penn Badgley, 2011
"I don’t want to say that or not say that. We made a very conscious choice to take Dan and Blair slowly.We’re well aware that we can put couples together and break them up much faster than other shows can. And we really wanted to build what we felt has been there since season 1 in “Bad News Blair", hen Dan and Blair had their little moment in the hallway where they talked about their problems with their parents. So we just sort of realized that they had this long brewing friendship-slash-whatever it was. So I think what you can hope for is that Dan and Blair will continue to be connected and that story will continue to grow." Executive Producer Josh Safran, 2011 __________________

You didn't like this one "Every day I will wait till you're mine again, I will die every day, till you're mine again, I will dream, I will pray, you'll be mine again", yeah? If no, then just the whole quote:"There's a place I used to go, there's a world I used to know, there was a light and it was you"

Thanks Goes up to dream? You mean the title should represent something that's happened?
