Знаешь, иначе как думаешь зачем almostcousinsex покажут в 21, они вполне могли в 22 его показать..но ведь нет же)))
это мне больше прибавило оптимизма))

I personally do not see how they've "ruined" the Dan/Blair arc. I mean, technically it hasn't really begun. It's just revving up if you ask me. It's a much slower burn but it will progress I'm sure. To date there is no evidence that indicted Blair/Dan won't have meaningful interaction in the last two episodes. That the promos are misleading is a given so I wouldn't base the entire arc by one or two failed attempts to create Blair/Chuck drama. It is quite in character for both of the to tread super lightly when it come to the other (talking about DB here) and so I think the writers are right on track with how, if this were RL, the pace and nuances of the relationship would go.

Throwing the Prince in there is certainly a twist but I believe he's there to show Blair that happily ever after doesn't come swooping in with a Vivier shoe and a title. She needed to know that to even begin to see Dan as a leading man in her life.

Again, I'm convinced the finale will indicate Dan/Blair are on a path to togetherness.
