I guess since I always watch a download of the ep, without the "scenes from next week," it's easy for me to take it episode-by-episode without really looking ahead... because I thought they played "Love The Way You Lie" exactly TO show how corrosive their relationship is... not to romanticize it. But after reading some reactions I went and looked for next weeks clips and... urgh.

I used to be diehard CB but now I'm not. Actually now I'm avidly watching for Dan/Blair, as I have been almost since CB became canon, haha. Now there's just too much damage. There's really no way to rewrite this ship to make everything okay, you know?
