    There's a long, proud tradition of European cotorans ridiculing Republican presidents and the behind their , that destroyed the of the , had , gave more to their opponents, threatened to , and were certain to end in , leaving the country they tried to hold together forever.


    Hated it. I think part of the reason was that I cgauht it after it was hyped up to be a "documentary" and subsequently debunked. Had I gone in thinking it was real, maybe I would have found it more chilling. Instead it seemed like a typical overwrought student film that predated those silly Ghost Hunter shows on Syfy.


    OMFG, I really don't want to see Blair as a mother! It will ruin the show completely. I know that the characters of GG have grown up and all that, but a baby is too much, especially for Blair.

    Does someone agree with me?


    I'm not going to defend Chuck's actions in 4.20 but I'd hardly consider what he did attempted rape. I've seen a few people assert the same thing (and by a few, I mean like very few people) and I just don't see it. Toxic? Unhealthy? Sure. Attempted rape? Not in my opinion. I respect that people don't want Chuck and Blair together and I was personally unsettled by that scene but I see no evidence of anything other than Chuck punched a plate of glass. I do think that equating scenes like that to attempted rape are a slap in the face to real life victims, though, and as a real life victim I think I can say that with some authority. I do appreciate that opinions will differ on this matter even though I personally feel yelling "rapist" from rooftops is a complete overreaction. I also understand that some are concerned by how the impressionable, young audience's views on healthy relationships could be molded by the show calling C/B a "great love". However, I think parents of teens need to either shut off the damn TV or have a conversation with their child after the episodes air rather than call for censorship.

    The follow up to 4.20 has left much to be desired and including that scene was totally unnecessary but the show itself has pointed out many times how C/B's relationship is dark, "sick and twisted", toxic, etc.


    LOVED blair in this episode! she was so hilarious. leighton is just flawless!
    i liked the dair friendship scenes. they were really cute =) also, duck is starting to grow on me =P
    serena and ivy were so boring, it was almost sad. and nate going after ANOTHER random lady who obviously has an agenda? that really WAS sad.
    can't wait for chair! and for chuck to find he's gonna be a father!


    @ kristina: I see that you feel strongly about this issue. The point I was trying to make was that people from all over the world saw that scene and didn't felt Chuck was going to rape Blair, I didn't felt he was going to rape her but obviously you felt differently. That doesn't mean I'm happy about what happened, I still don't understand what the writers were trying to achieve with that scene. I'm glad that you know about the GH couple, when I read about that I was very shocked, that was way over the line for me.


    Yes, I know GH's Luke and Laura. And that's exactly why I'm angered by Chuck's attempt of a rape. The 80's making L&L's love story a legend or 'the greatest love ever in time' is totally sick. 30 years better, I would have expected humans to evolve into wiser viewers and not accept this as ok!

    As for it being viewed around the world, I don't see the point why it could be acceptable. Except for Africa, the rest of the world also see rape, or even an attempt of it, as evil. It will never be ok. The people who are still rooting for Chair are usually teenagers because they're young and their judgment between right and wrong is still being developed. Unfortunately, it is being molded wrongly by what is shown in Chair's love story.


    @ kristina: if you are referring to the 4x20 scene, you should know that many didn't felt or even thought that he was trying to rape her in that scene. We are talking about viewers from around the world, from Europe to India passing for Latin America, Canada, Australia, you name it. People of different ages and professions, who speak 4 languages, have kids, are married, single, are teens, in their 20s or 30s, etc. As for me, I didn't thought he tried to rape her but I've always said that scene was uncalled for, unnecessary and downright problematic, and I will never understand what were the writers thinking when they decided to go for it. But if this troubles you so much, you should know that in the 80s, General Hospital had a couple where the guy actually raped the girl at one point yet at the end they were married, and last year this couple was included in the list of the 25 most epic TV couples by a magazine, I think you would feel better focusing your outrage on that.


    What a lot of people seem to miss is that Chuck once tried to rape Blair. How could a rapist be a couple with the victim? It wonâ€™t be right for them to be together because he tried to RAPE her. In the real world, the girl who almost became a victim to rape would totally loathe the attempted rapist. If you were the girl, or your sister or your daughter, would you root to get back with the attempted rapist just because you seem to be the perfect couple? Since that episode, Chair has lost all its magic on me. Blair should be with other guys, not Chuck!


    @loraine: woah! Just googled both their pics, agreed about beatrice and charlotte, dunno bout pierre he's much different then louis, wish louis was like that and would loosen up a bit and stop bein sucha lovesick baby -_-
