Gossip Girl 1x02

 Is it just me, or does Dan have no reason at all to be mad at Serena? I mean, he wasn't dating her, wasn't even friendly with her when he slept with Blair's boyfriend, and cares about none of the people who really got hurt.

I understand him being a little upset and disillusioned but dude, chill.

It's the guilty pleasure of all time, I assure you.

But see, I really liked Dan when we first met him - that makes me sad.

This. This is exactly the case with me too, because Dan- compared to Nate and Chuck, is an angel! A romantic, funny guy that came from the other side that you can't help to root for. And he dates a girl without seemingly trying to get in her pants!

*sighs*

Later, you'll see.

As much as I regularly want to smack him (I'm only on ep 14 of S1) I'd say he's still a step above Nate and Chuck.

Nate's nothing more than a log that has a pretty face whom all the girls ('cept Jenny) sleeps with. He's practically arm candy. And Chuck, well- if you're on ep 14 then he has come quite a way from being that rapist in Pilot, but pretty much a jackass all the way 'round.

At least Chuck knows he's a A-level bastard (and everyone expects him to be that way) but Dan. Oh, Dan. This is the case where I really want to defend the guy, but since I'm already on ep 17 S2, I can't.

He's the perfect example of The Nice Guy that kills you inside.

But, thankfully, he's still no Duncan Kane or Jack whatever-it-is-from-Lost.

Chuck's a bastard and I don't particularly like him, but he is entertaining, and has an interesting dynamic with most of the cast.

In general, though, the female characters are pretty superior to the males, with the possible exceptions of Rufus and Erik. Rufus gives me hope that Dan will outgrow it once he matures a bit.

And while I'm somewhat-unwillingly on the Blair/Chuck boat (I went from it being one of my main interests before starting to not wanting it after the pilot to a reluctant but eager fan...) the overwhelming levels of lesyay make me giddy.

He is, in a word, entertaining. Ed Westwick is good in his role too- which adds up to his points.

Oh, wait until you see Rufus in S2. GG Girls >>>>>>>>>> Boys. Erik's the only one who's somewhat decent- and he plays for the other team.

*smiles* Blair/Serena anyone? That's practically an OTP better on so many levels than Dan/Serena. And no one can't resist Blair/Chuck- they're just ridiculously addictive.

AIRPORT! Seriously, AIRPORT!!!!

I do give Dan credit for never even thinking that he can come before Blair when it come to Serena. He knows that he's permanently in second place there.

If Dan ever makes her choose between them, he'll come away very very sad. If he and Serena have kids, Blair will probably get to hold them first. And I love how he and Blair tolerate each other because the other is a necessary evil that comes ith their precious Serena. Though I'm convinced that Blair disinfects Serena every time she knows Serena's been around Dan.

Ah, airport.

I also love the mutual understanding between Dan and Blair- they both love Serena, and both realize that in order to make Serena happy, they have to tolerate each other.

But Dan will have his moments- he loves Serena, loves her so much as this perfect, reforming girl from Upper East Side that he puts her on a pedestal, because she, unlike Blair/Chuck/Nate, is good, according to him.

That belief, is the start of his downfall.

That's kinda too bad.
