I'm sad, because T&B are over for me as a couple. I think it's pretty clear that Todd didn't have the intent necessary for him to be guilty of rape. But what does that leave for Todd and Blair?

If she really didn't consent to sex, so that she was "raped" even though Todd's not guilty, can she forgive and forget? I hope not. When someone hurts you like that, even unintentionally, I don't think it's healthy to stay with that person. Especially since he DID smack her, no question about that.

If Blair doesn't really believe she was raped, or if she isn't sure, then what she is doing is really despicable, and Todd should be the one going, whoa. Granted, he's done more and worse despicable things than she has, but that makes it worse, not better. If all a couple does is hurt each other, what do they have?

I realize that I'm taking this way too seriously and talking about Todd and Blair like they're real. All I mean to say is that this is the final straw for me. I can't get behind them as a couple ever again. And that makes me sad.

But I'll get over it and stay over it as long as the SHOW stays good. And it is.

I was thrilled to see Nora all fired up in her own self-righteousness again. Nora the smug attorney is SOOO much more interesting than Nora the super-vixen.

And Blair on a crusade is much more interesting than Blair the giz-mop for Nora's sloppy seconds.

And Kev-pig the selfish bastard is much more interesting than Kevin the "Hero" who's really a pig, only the writers don't seem to get it. Plus, now I get why it "had" to be Kevin with Blair.

And porkchop Kelly is way more interesting that GT's perpetual crying jag.

And the MBK gives me hope that some of my misery will end.

It's not all good. TIIC wasted Gabby and Max. I like all the "ghosts" in Llanview, but why isn't Luna in NC looking after her own kids?
