House creator David Shore told TVGuide.com at the start of Season 8 that he had mulled the idea of Edelstein returning for a proper Cuddy send-off, but it was too soon to do so. “Down the road, that might be more appropriate. It didn’t seem right now,” he said. “Given that she was gone, we decided it was better to not just have her come back to leave again.” . (Source: TVGuide 2/24)

“I can’t really say where it is going to go, nor do I know…They have had plans for them since the beginning, only in the sense that they are a certain intellectual match for one another. I think Dan is unfortunate in that he loves Blair and I think Blair is his soul mate—but he is not Blair’s soul mate, because Blair and Chuck belong with each other, obviously. I think that the fans all love Chuck and Blair together, but you know, maybe you’re wrong.”

Westwick says that Chuck is still “very much” in love with Blair. He said that he has “no idea” what the future holds for Chair, but hopes they find their way back to each other.  (Source:  kristin eonline)

It is added that there will definitely be more to this story.”I think it’s our biggest episode since the pilot,” says Safran. “I feel like if you’re a fan of the show and you’ve been watching from the beginning, you’re going to feel rewarded. But I also feel like if you’re tuning in after a long time, I think you may feel like you’ve missed a lot, but we really try to hit on everything that’s happened since [early on]. I’m very proud of it.”

100th episode director Mark Piznarski, who also directed the pilot, admitted there were some moments in the episode that “brought tears to my eyes.”

The invention of the television has had a dramatic effect on the social lives of Americans. Families once gathered around the kitchen table to visit and tell stories. As technology developed, the radio provided the family with entertainment and information. But the television brought exposure to places and things never seen by the American family; the Beatles, Elvis and the moon landing all happened in our living rooms. Now it is common for families to have 3-4 televisions in the home where it was once only for the elite. Many hours of the day are consumed sitting in front of this epidemic panacea.

Many Americans now situate their everyday lives around television. Children are named after televison characters, it is the topic of conversation at work, and people are enthralled with the drama in “reality” television. Television has had so many advances in the last decade, and the huge variety which comes with cable and satellite carriers such as DirecTV, which you can learn more about at http://www.direct.tv, has allowed for myriad and almost unlimited choices of shows and viewing options. People can now pause live television, record it to watch it later at their own leisure, and watch several shows at one time. Though convenient, these luxuries make TV a time sink of American life.

Americans seem to organize their lives around television shows or events, and because others are doing the same, this behavior forms a positive feedback loop, encouraging and invigorating such behavior. How many repetitions of the Super Bowl or the premier of Jersey Shore can people continue to be excited about? Not many. Television can bring people together, inform us of world events, and entertain. However, many seem to forget that life is not a reality show. It does not consist of characters. It consists of people and real relationships, and it should not be limited to just that which occurs during the commercials.

Aside from that, a lot of avoidance is going on. Blair was avoiding her problems by focusing on the Jenny Packham event, and Dan avoided his book problem by focusing on Blair’s problem. After helping Blair conquer her paternity fear, Dan had the courage to be responsible for his book. (Source: Kristin eOnline)
