From Zap2it:
They did it... they dared to Dair
So let's finally discuss what everyone is talking about: The Kiss. We have a general tendency to not "ship" any couples on TV, but those crazy kids Dan and Blair seemed to have slipped through our top-notch security system. Granted, it's made of Diet kouk cans and trays from Whole Foods, but still.
What girl doesn't dream about a cute boy ipinapakita up at her house late at night (after seeing her all throughout the day) because he couldn't get her off his mind? "I've been walking around the city all night with one all-consuming paralyzing thought," Dan says. "What if my dad and Dorota were right and what if there's another reason we're keeping us a secret?"
When she tells him he needs to go back to Brooklyn, he says he can't until he knows for sure that they were wrong. "Just one halik and then we can know without a doubt." Can you imagine Season 1 Blair's response to this? It would probably involve any or all of the following: Lysol wipes, a lobotomy, a tetanus shot, a vomit bag.
Season 4 Blair's response? "I suppose that would work. One kiss. That's that." This is a girl who wants to be kissed, folks. If it wasn't obvious before, her nervous cough and half-smile totally gives it away. Dan prolongs the inevitable... probably taking mental notes for his susunod short story. He is a writer after all. It's what we do. We live for these moments.
He knows this is the moment. She knows this is the moment. WE know this is the moment. Our neighbors know this is the moment because they can hear us chanting, "Just halik already!" (Soundtrack moment: The Duke Spirit's "Don't Wait." Perfect song choice.)
Blair clearly heard us loud and clear because with a sigh she says, "Oh, for crying out loud Humphrey!", grabs him sa pamamagitan ng his lapels and kisses him and then.... freeze frame! YES, THEY FREEZE FRAMED US. NOT NOW, DANA! Sorry, wrong CW show. Well played, Show. You sly little minx.
We're dying to know what Blair and Dan were thinking before and during the kiss. Were they hoping to feel something or praying not to because it would be easier? We kind of pag-ibig that throughout the six-episode (although some have been rooting for this pairing since the series' fourth episode) build-up, it wasn't a case of one person pining for the other; They both were genuinely surprised sa pamamagitan ng the idea of there being something madami between them.
OK, so quick rundown of how D & B are similar to Pacey and Joey (because this recap is getting obnoxiously long). They started off hating each other. She already had a soul mate (Dawson/Chuck). There was a best friend in the equation who would be hurt sa pamamagitan ng them getting together (Dawson... again/Serena). They were late-bloomers, Pacey and Joey began in Season 3 and Dan and Blair in Season 4. There was a slow build-up, where the two first became friends. The chemistry between the two actors was insane. There was an episode ending kiss. We could go on, but we'll stop there because while we know the outcome of Pacey and Joey's kiss, we won't know the outcome of Dan and Blair's for another six weeks. BECAUSE THEY FREEZE FRAMED US.
