It was beautiful. I can’t think of a more solid endgame. If you think about it the flashforward scene cemented so much stuff:




Chuck is a ‘father in a way Bart never was’ (3.12):
He is affectionate- picks Henry up and swings him around
He compliments his son- “look how smart you are”
He makes his son feel secure and loved- can you picture baby Chuck shouting “Daddy!” and happily running into Bart’s arms? Pfft. Never.
Blair has finally found some success and power independent from any sort of romantic relationship with Waldorf Designs.
Blair has clearly grown in a major way since she has hired Jenny to work for her. Can you imagine her doing that in the past? Never.
Both Chuck and Blair have grown as people since they’re holding Dan and Serena’s wedding in their townhouse (it shows they’ve let bygones be bygones with Dan and approve of the Derena union).

01. GAMES


I mean, obviously. Chuck/Blair has been a near-constant battle. Games were part of the foundation of their relationship ("You and I bonded over a mutual love of scheming"), games were part of their undoing. Season 2 is inundated with dialogue about games and stakes, winning and losing. Games + Chuck and Blair's king and queen pretensions = every chess and war cliche reference in the history of ever.

Also obviously, games aren't the point. S2's sabotage, schemes, wagers, and ~seductions are just a way for Chuck and Blair to channel their feelings for each other into a safer type of interaction. They lie that the game is what they both enjoy about their relationship, but they're really just afraid to be more than frenemies.

BLAIR: If I say it then Chuck wins.
DAN: But... if you say it then you get him and you win.
BLAIR: No, I lose.

CHUCK: I thought you were ready to tell me how you really felt. Obviously it was just another one of your games.

It consumes me” ”I love you too” ”Can you say it twice?” ”I love you, I love you, that’s three, four, I love you.” ”I just want you to be happy” ”Are you okay?” ”I am now” ”Because I love you…You enormously stubborn pain in the ass.” ”The next time you forget you’re Blair Waldorf.
