"What are your thoughts on the ending of the season finale?"
Sorry if it took me long to answer, but I needed few days of break after the finale.
I have to admit at first I thought the finale was poor. Hell, some things of it still are not that well written in my opinion, but what could we expect from a season finale of a show that’s ending? I think it was decent.The episode run very fast and bombs were dropped one after another that made the whole thing not boring to watch. Although I was a bit ‘meh’ about the content of the CB scenes when I first watched them, I realized that they had to go that way. We had to have Blair finally face her fears and come to terms with them. We had to have Chuck wanting to have an identity of his own so he would not feel like a ‘Rufus’ (a trophy boyfriend/husband who does nothing to sustain his gf/wife). And we had to see Blair wanting to fight for him and with him, because I’m sure next season we’ll see C&B fighting together to be together as one and to get Bart to see Chuck is worth it for his job.

"are chuck and blair back together? what happened to dan? i don't get it. sorry."
Technically, no. I mean Blair chose Chuck but Chuck didn’t want to be just with her, he also needs his own identity/future and didn’t want to depend on Blair’s society (because her mom wants her to take over WDesigns). I think he was influenced by what Bart told him shorty before Blair met him on the rooftop and so he refused her. But this doesn’t mean he will reject her again. His silence in the last scene at the Casino was strong and powerful and meant more than words: they are not yet together as a couple, but she picked him and she’s going to earn his trust back because that’s what she wants. She wants him. And he wants her. But he wants them to be together as a team, not betting against each other. I’m sure they’ll be rebuild as a couple in S6.
Dan left with Georgina to get secrets on the UES to use them in his next scandalous book. No idea if they will go to Rome since Dan had to go with a guest and had plane tickets… it seems as they will though.

"did you see the exclusive video from Cosmopolitan TV Spain? I think it's over for chair...:'("
I don’t think so. That scene is the reversal of the last CB scene from 4x09 except that there they had a whole half of season to fill with obstacles, and now they are putting it on a finale episode after a long and fatigued journey both C and B did since then.
The scene also looks like the one from 2x25 where Blair tells him “I love you so much it consumes me, tell me you love me” and he says “Maybe it was but it’s not anymore” and walks away. She knows he loves her but he’s afraid/not ready to say I love you back yet. Here is the same thing but he is also upset because of what had just happened with his father.
We all know the outcome of 2x25. Chuck shows up after a week and surprises Blair by telling her I love you and that she can believe him this time. Right now we may have Chuck realizing that no matter what we have, even if we have nothing we’ll always have the people who love us to sustain us.
I believe the premiere title “Yes then zero” was important for that. Chuck is supposed to say yes to something unexpected, and maybe he’ll have to start from zero after accepting his fate.

"Are the spoilers on FF true ?"
Nope, they are not. Read this post for explanation: http://www.fanforum.com/63086490-post237.html (the bolded words explain why the infos are wrong and what should be instead there according to the callsheets)

"I'm not sure if this was ever brought up bought I was just thinking, in the casino pic, do you think that Blair feels bad that Chuck paid for her dowry so she asks him to help her win it back by gambling? So of course he agrees so he could get closer to her? :O I don't care what they do, I just want them together lol"
Good point, I didn’t think about that! And I agree, as long as they are together I don’t care what he goes to the Casino too. I believe the blackjack game could be the methapor of risking to be with Chuck because Blair is afraid to.

"About what that anon said about Rufus and Lily returning rings, the title probably has nothing to do with them because it's The Return of The Ring, when they mention 'the ring' there's really only one they could be talking about, C&B's. It has more meaning than Lily&Rufus's rings. And in some interview (I think it was e! or something) they said that we should look at the whole EL HW opening thing as a good sign. (I'm not saying this is going to happen, it's just what I think) :)"
I think it like you, I mean it could be both things happen because RL also are in a weird situation right now. The whole HW thing is surely to promote both the brand and both something on GG imo… after all he let the ring go but he didn’t really return it or they would have to give him the money back. And he didn’t exactly mention he got his money back for the ring, so technically it’s still his ring.

"In 5x24 Return of the ring, i have a feeling that it won't be about Blair and Chuck. I think it will be Lily and rufus "returning the rings" and ending their marriage. Things have been rocky between them since the whole Ivy drama. Just my opinion though. Personally, i can't wait for Blair to get over soppy little Lonely Boy and back into the waiting arms of Chuck Bass."
I don’t know how to feel about the title as I’m trying not to be too much influenced by it. I think it can be either way because if we have to look at the previous season finales, Bart/Lily exchanged rings in 1.18 and Rufus proposed to Lily in 2.25. Bart is back and if Lily will be confused between him and Rufus, it’s possible that the rings returned may be theirs. But I have no idea, it also fits CB and the fact that Chuck gave the ring away in episode 5x06. The writers said the title didn’t refer too much to the contents of the episode, but you never know.
