Like I said before...
The whole episode suck, I only like parts that I liked were the TWO chair scene, Like I melted.. And they were only a 1 minute long :(
Dan/Georgie are my second favorite couple ;P I was rooting for them but then i have to remember they were against bliar the only downside
I was really pissed at Serena, like grow the eff up this whole 'I'm going to rebel phase' is getting really old really fast. It makes Scar very hard to watch
I want to like Bree/Nate, i do but it just seems so push and force.

The episode was just lovely. Everyone's story was great - in particular, Serena and Chuck's - why do these two have such great chemistry?! I want more of them. And it was great to have Dorota back, and great to see Carter and Georgina ('we're roommates!' she screeches).
I liked the new girl Katie, I liked Dan's sudden popularity. I don't like Nate and Bree, but whatever, as long as they stay separate away from everyone else, I'm fine.
Of course the last scene up on the rooftop was amazing, but what knocked me to the ground was the last Chuck and Blair scene, which I didn't expect at all. It was so sweet and so intimate and so realistic - wow - is all I have to say. Just when I didn't think Ed and Leighton could top themselves, they did.

Much much better than the premiere episode :) It didn't seem weird or awkward at all. Loved practically all the scenes, especially ALL those Chair scenes (yes, that is sarcasm, since we only got two). But hey, I'll take what I can get. I mean, that last scene just was.. wow. Melted my heart. Chuck and Serena had me depressed. I wanted their relationship to get better this season, not be totally ruined! Bree/Nate were kinda cute. Georgina and Dan were great. Still not sure about Scott. Vanessa was just.. there. I don't know how I feel about her half the time. And I'm not loving Serena at the moment, but I adore any S/B scene ;)

LOVED IT! SOOO GREAT! Especially after the disappointment of last week's episode. Favorite scene by far was the last one with chuck and blair in bed together. I cannot get over how adorable they are!
Like their scenes are always my favorite. And personally I think that Chuck and Blair are the reason people are gonna keep watching gossip girl, because you can never get enough of them. They are just OMG!

I overall liked the episode. The C/B scene in the beginning where he was like you don't belong in the dorms was super cute! I did not like how Vanessa and Dan are so stupid to fall for Georgie. And what he did to Blair? Okay at least the Upper East Side kids know they're mean, but what gets me about Dan/Vanessa is they act so above everyone else, but then they do what they're saying is wrong. Like Vanessa always claiming no one should be in charge and then throwing that moral out the window because she doesn't like Blair by having Dan take over and humiliate her? Oh and personally I like Nate/Bree. I liked Nate/Vanessa, but Vanessa just makes me dislike her more and more each episode, no offense to the Vanessa fans we all just have characters we don't like so please don't attack me for that. Serena/Chuck do have a good brother/sister/friends chemistry. I also love Serena/Carter, but he's not here perminantly so it makes me wonder what's going to happen. The B/S moment was amazing. Blair should just forget about the poor losers and georgina and stick with the people she knows and loves. There are people at NYU like her she just has to find them. There's a group for everybody. The ending C/B scene was the best. It really shows how much Chuck's character has grown since season 1. I mean I know some of you guys think it's too sweet, but it shows he's human and how much Blair means to him. Anyone else ready to hear they say I love you again though? I know I am.

Loved the ep. Kudos to Leighton for exploring completely new territory for Blair, the sudden social outcast, so convincingly. She is really shining for me this season. The last C/B scene was very real and moving. Serena annoyed me all episode until she finally admitted she had feelings for Carter. I kind of like those two together. Dan and Georgina, well, I kinda saw it coming. I mean, they do have some weird connection ever since she was deceiving him as "sarah". Vanessa didn't annoy me, she's looking better every episode so thats good. I am interested in the Scott storyline, he gives a weird vibe, and I wanna know his motive! All in all, a great episode 2 and am already crazy for the next one. B walking in on D & G? Hilarious!

Disappointing again. Better than last week's premiere (that was the WORST episode ever), but that isn't saying much.
Show continues to go downhill. Is it past the saving point? I don't know... but I'm worried. It's getting worse and worse since second half of season 2. Not interesting. Stories don't go anywhere. Not juicy. Not realistic. Not believable. The writing is so bad.
It's like the writers don't know where to take the show or what to do with the characters. :(
Only good thing is CHAIR.
This season is very blah so far... don't know if it will continue to get worse or better but what I do know for sure now is that season 1 is the best and NOTHING the show can do will top it. It was sharp and focused back then and I was so addicted.
Now most characters unlikable and stories not great.
Next week looks iffy again.
