Genuinely curious how other diehard fans view this in hindsight
The first time I saw it, I thought the Dan and Blair pairing was a misstep from the writers. I lumped it in with Izzy and George, Joey and Rachel (IYKYK), however, since I’ve watched this series like fifteen times since E2E, I now consider the episodes where Dan loves Blair to be my favourite. I don’t know if it was because Leighton could never have as much chemistry with anyone on screen the way she did with Ed (nobody could IMO), but the way Dan SEES her and protects her brings out a whole new side of him and I just love Blair and love the fact Serena was big mad.
I would love to know what others think? I by no means think this storyline was perfect at all and have no investment in everyone agreeing with my view.
