dianora2....about the flawless pairing known as Dair for a moment. For the 2 or 3 of you who will read this. ;) Basically there are SO MANY SPOILERS out there so I wanted to put together everything we know so far, mainly so I can get a consensus that this "triangle" does indeed end Dan/Blair.
5x18 (next episode): Blair shows up at Dan's loft to seduce him but his parents are there. Later they have sex for the first time but it's bad. Later that episode they get drunk (?) and have good sex in the elevator. (http://dianora2.tumblr.com/post/20101705673/five-more-days)
5x19: This is the episode with the scene filmed on the Met steps. Looks like basically Dan gives Blair a crown to show her that she's still royalty even if she's not a princess of Monaco any more. Lots of smiling and togetherness. (http://dianora2.tumblr.com/post/18929034983/bow-down-before-your-king-and-queen)
5x20: Blair and Dan throw a party to celebrate their being a couple (this show, I can't.)
5x21 and 5x22: We know the least about these so far. There were scenes of Leighton and Ed filming, getting into a car together, with Penn watching. Supposedly Penn gets in a cab to follow them. Seems like Blair is being drawn into helping Chuck with something and Dan is suspicious.
5x23: Scenes with Dan and Blair in bed, in pjs/robe, domestic bliss. They are planning on taking a trip to Rome together. Blair keeps texting Serena to find out if Chuck is ok. Blair and Chuck meet on the roof of the Empire, Chuck asks Blair to not go to Rome, but she says she's going, she loves Dan. She gets back to the loft to discover part of her diary has been published on Gossip Girl (this show, I CAN'T) and Dan has seen it.
5x24, season finale: There was a scene filmed at a hospital with all the major cast members except Ed. Blair is heard saying it's her fault, and Dan tells her it isn't. Rumors of an accident in front of the Empire. Josh Safran says "Blair’s decision will be very clear by the end of this season" and "That triangle definitely comes to the end point." Also says the finale actually revolves around Serena, not Dan/Blair/Chuck, and at the end there is a character "we might not know what happens to them."
Also learned today: Safran says an ongoing problem with their relationship for rest of season is Blair's connection with Chuck. "Dan will continue to help Blair rediscover Blair in a very sweet, good way." Also admits the seeds for Dair were planted last season, and: “We knew Dan and Blair were going to get together at some point this season, as Dan’s feelings for her would only grow, and Blair would grow more aware of them. Blair gave up her control, her power in becoming a princess. Now that dream is over, for better or worse, and she’s finally breaking free and finding out who she is. And from the beginning, Dan was the one basically saying ‘I’ll be here always, I accept whoever you are.’”
You guys, all signs point to Dair continuing, AM I RIGHT? I mean...I always keep the caveat that this is GOSSIP GIRL, and they continually do the SHITTIEST, DUMBEST THINGS, but even they wouldn't build up a ship for a season and a half -- which they NEVER do on this show, they never give things the slow build -- only to break them up seven episodes later?
Although one person posited that maybe Blair gets tired of Dan being insecure about Chuck and doesn't go to Rome with him, basically pulls a Kelly Taylor "I choose me." This is also possible. But...I still feel like that would mean her getting back together with Dan next season.
Basically I fucking hate that I am so invested in a couple on this stupid show. AAAAAAGH.
If anyone read this, thank you. I needed to get this out for myself at least. GOING CRAZY.
Dan and Blair thank you for your time.

Date: 2012-03-30 02:04 am (UTC)I appreciate the collection of spoilers, because Tumblr is hard, yo. It would be straight up ludicrous to spend a season and a half getting to this point to explode it in a fraction of the time.
THIS makes sense to me--them figuring out the couple thing, being cute/sweet/funny...being exactly what makes people LIKE them. (Crown on the steps of the Met. I die.)
I will be all sorts of pissed if there's a Kelly Taylor moment, though.

Date: 2012-03-30 02:15 am (UTC)It cracks me up that basically the whole fandom is like "well, this sounds promising, but....it's FUCKING GOSSIP GIRL, so who knows." LOL.

Date: 2012-03-30 04:38 pm (UTC)I am worried they seem so perfect (minus the bout of bad sex) before the finale. But I will also not appreciate at Kelly Taylor ending.

Date: 2012-03-30 09:43 pm (UTC)Definitely! Also apparently the Chair fans are getting so bad on Twitter that the GG writers are actively blocking them. Maybe they'll keep Dan and Blair together just to spite them. Hahaha.

Date: 2012-04-01 04:22 pm (UTC)2. "That triangle definitely comes to the end point."
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's a good one. There's still another season, and there's no way on God's green earth this triangle is ending. I can see her ending up with Dan at the end of this season, but next year anything can happen.
I've always assumed Chuck and Blair would end up together in the end. I would love to be wrong!! But I dunno. I can't get my hopes up. As you've mentioned, it's GG, so expect the
stupidestworst, hope for the best.
