Lots of season premiere stuff
1. An episode preview in which Dan makes it sound like he and Blair had all the sex. I wish.
2. All the media people who saw the premiere already and have stuff to say about it
And while there were oodles of spoilers about [blah blah blah], I couldn't let an opportunity to grill a GG EP about the seemingly cast aside, but totally amazing, pairing of Dan and Blair. On that front, I've got good news and bad news.
The good: Dan's feelings for Blair play a major role in the premiere.
The bad ... well, I'll let Joshua take this one. "The triangle in our minds is sort of Chuck and Louis and Blair," he said this afternoon, following the screening. "Dan's role in it is sort of surprising and I think he will both add to the Chair-shippers and detract for the Chair-shippers, alternately." Then to basically eliminate any confusion, he added, "I don’t know if it’s necessarily romantic with Dan and Blair."

Dan-who took up softball during the summer (in a league for writers and artists!) and looks adorable in his team's shirt-is Blair's only friend currently in the city and she desperately needs someone to talk to. As a friend.
Lonely Boy is more than happy to offer his assistance considering he's still harboring major feelings for Blair and all. Our evidence? Vanity Fair is attempting to publish a chapter from Dan's novel Inside, which is all about Blair and he desperately tries to stop it from being printed and turns to an unexpected source for some help. Does he succeed? We're not saying, but we will say Dan and Blair have a heartfelt and serious (their banter is MIA) scene in the loft that will make Dair lovers very, very happy for a moment or two.
E!
Blair (Leighton Meester) is planning her wedding, not necessarily thinking about the ex she "let go," and instead dealing with conflicts between mother and mother-in-law. She seems to be going through the motions a bit numbly, as if the weight of it all hasn't quite sunk in fully just yet. But it can only be a matter of time before she starts to question if she's making the right choice, right? Especially when she learns the lengths to which one friend is going to ensure she is protected at all costs. Which Chuck Bass being on the opposite side of the country, he may be a somewhat distant third in Blair's mind now, and Dan (Penn Badgley), on the other hand, may be the one to step in as her comfort. Dan, who for such a long time has wanted to be a writer but who, now that he's on the cusp of it professionally, may prove to risk it all to protect Blair. Hard decisions are being made, and often that means choosing between your personal relationships and your professional ones.

Go kill my fucking buzz some more, Safran. WHATEVER, I DON'T EVEN CARE. They'll look pretty kissing again.
