Одни из немногих высказываний которые нашлись. "At the end of Chuck's party, Blair and Dan break up as friends, worried that the world's not ready for the friendship (newsflash: yes, we are). And yet . . . Dan can't stay away, worried that Dorota and his dad are right about there being something more between them. His proposal is that they try one kiss, and Blair is business-like but completely intrigued by the idea. Then the magic happens: taking charge, she grabs Dan by the lapels and the episode ends with their lips connected. Did anyone else squeal? Just me?"

"(…) Dan and Blair continue to covertly rendezvous about town. As they grow closer, they become increasingly uncomfortable with the implication, and at the risk of further displaying my bias, I’d like to add that its handled spectacularly. The two are told by their respective parental figures that there is, perhaps, more to their attachment than meets the eye. There’s a particularly memorable scene where Blair shows up at Dan’s Brooklyn loft, strutting past him looking like she just walked off the cover of Vogue, elegant and refined, and upon her entrance, the entire room lit up. She compliments Dan’s bohemian charm better than any other actress in the show, and I think its because of her supreme personal confidence; she and Dan are the only characters utterly sure of who they are, and don’t compromise one inch of that with one another. The episode draws to a close with them kissing for the first time. I haven’t gotten this worked up since Chuck and Blair in the limo in season one."

"Now to my favorite love story since my I dreamed that I was dating Justin Timberlake: Dair!!!!! These two just put a smile on my face. I love the Blair planned exit strategies for all of the locations in which they would meet. Of course, she would always arrive first and Dan would show up like 15 minutes later in order to make people believe they showed up separately. But Dorota was able to catch on to their little deception. “I found a Nova documentary in your Netflix queue,” she told Blair. Genius. The look of sheer horror on her face when she believed that Meez Blair was dating, as she called him, “Lonely Boy” was totally priceless. Blair and Dan eventually decided to “come out” as friends at a big Chuck party that night, thinking they could not hide their movie/museum outings any longer. (…)
But the best part was the final minutes when Dan showed up at Blair’s house late night (unclear as to whether the time frame made it an innocent visit or a booty call). He said he had been walking around the city plagued by one important question. Blair's guess: “Why am I walking around the city when I live in Brooklyn?” Loved. Dan decided he wanted to kiss Blair just once to see if there was something more than just friendship between them. Blair adorably agreed and they both proceeded to move closer. Then, finally Blair just grabbed him and planted a major pucker. And then…FREEZE FRAME! We won’t know the result until April 18th!!!!! Argh!!!!"

So, ology's recap goes kinda like that:
"(…) Russell tells Chuck that there's a secret about Raina's mother. (…) Dun. Dun. Dun. Just bring on the Dair kiss already! We know it's coming... (…) Raina and Nate run into Russell and of course, he apologizes and gives a corny speech. Blah Blah. We don't care. Where's the Dair kiss?!?"

"But at the end of the night Dan shows up at the Waldorf apartment and meets Blair. He explains that he’s been walking around the city all night, wondering weather what Dorota and Rufus were saying could possibly be true—that they could possibly have legitimate romantic feelings for one another. And Dan says that he won’t leave it alone until he knows for sure and suggests a kiss—one kiss so that they can prove that there aren’t any sparks between them.
Blair agrees to Dan’s proposal, and after a few awkward pauses, she brings him in for a highly-anticipated smooch.
And that, my friends, is where the show ended—mid kiss.
And this story alone will make us come back to watch the show when it returns to the air in six weeks (April 18). Will Dan and Blair actually have feelings for each other and start a relationship? Or will Chuck get in the way and try to win Blair back? We’re intrigued much more than we thought we would be by this coupling. So stay tuned."

"Regardless, between the two of them, Dorota and Rufus managed to guilt-trip "Dair" (ugh) into admitting what we've known all along -- they've got more sizzle than a cat on a hot tin roof, and it's about time for them to canoodle already, and put us all out of our misery."

"So let's finally discuss what everyone is talking about: The Kiss. We have a general tendency to not "ship" any couples on TV, but those crazy kids Dan and Blair seemed to have slipped through our top-notch security system. Granted, it's made of Diet Coke cans and trays from Whole Foods, but still.
What girl doesn't dream about a cute boy showing up at her house late at night (after seeing her all throughout the day) because he couldn't get her off his mind? "I've been walking around the city all night with one all-consuming paralyzing thought," Dan says. "What if my dad and Dorota were right and what if there's another reason we're keeping us a secret?"
When she tells him he needs to go back to Brooklyn, he says he can't until he knows for sure that they were wrong. "Just one kiss and then we can know without a doubt." Can you imagine Season 1 Blair's response to this? It would probably involve any or all of the following: Lysol wipes, a lobotomy, a tetanus shot, a vomit bag.
Season 4 Blair's response? "I suppose that would work. One kiss. That's that." This is a girl who wants to be kissed, folks. If it wasn't obvious before, her nervous cough and half-smile totally gives it away. Dan prolongs the inevitable... probably taking mental notes for his next short story. He is a writer after all. It's what we do. We live for these moments.
He knows this is the moment. She knows this is the moment. WE know this is the moment. Our neighbors know this is the moment because they can hear us chanting, "Just kiss already!" (Soundtrack moment: The Duke Spirit's "Don't Wait." Perfect song choice.)
Blair clearly heard us loud and clear because with a sigh she says, "Oh, for crying out loud Humphrey!", grabs him by his lapels and kisses him and then.... freeze frame! YES, THEY FREEZE FRAMED US. NOT NOW, DANA! Sorry, wrong CW show. Well played, Show. You sly little minx."

"And what might be the greatest love story of our time has come to fruition. I resisted for a great while, but I believe I'm finally giving in to the magic of DanBlairBear (pet names!)."
