    The fact that this show has multiple instances of Blair dating a royal who pretends to be a commoner to see if she likes him for the real him and she fails the test then tries to win him back when she learns the truth is so funny to me.

    I know Mike is not the one who started this long-form recap trend and even though more and more people are doing these kinds of videos recently, Mike's impeccable blend of season/episode analyses, memes, trivia, pop culture references, music playlist, creative twists (GG magazine covers) and his own brand of humor (The loft?! The Brooklyn poverty loft?!!) makes me come back to his videos over and over again. The replayability is insane. It's not just watching a random youtube vid; it's an entire (Mike'sMic) experience.
    As a 30+ year old man who never watched any of these shows when I was younger, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Top-tier entertainment. Keep on doing what you're doing. We live for these. You're very underrated (less than 1M subs?? How?).

    No joke I just love how much love and effort Mike puts into these series. Like it validates me that I shouldn't feel bad about liking or watching "dumb or silly" tv series or movies like that. Like things that bring you joy or laughter aren't dumb and it just helps my anxiety listening to him explain and recap these series in the best and funniest ways!

Yeah non of them were good ppl, all relationships were toxic but years later, I found Chuck and Blair matched the best. Given their status Blair wouldn't have married someone below. They really carried the show and made it the it drama it was. Wouldn't have continued watching without them. Their growth together was good and he never tried changing her unlike the other guys she was with. I don't think a tv couple needs to be healthy but that's just my opinion.
